What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jan 9, 5:36 AM CST, 5 hours 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 5:36 AM CST, 5 hours 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
536 AM CST Thu Jan 9 2020

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 318 AM CST Thu Jan 9 2020

(Through Tonight)

A surface low early this morning is located near the Kansas-Nebraska
border with a cold front draped to the south/southwest through the
south-central Plains. This boundary is forecast to slowly move into
far northwestern sections of Missouri very late this afternoon.
Ahead of this front, a weak shortwave trough is expected to pass
into the lower Ohio Valley coincident with broad low-level moisture
advection. The end result should be isolated showers initially
late this morning to become more widespread late this afternoon
into this evening as the cold front sags a bit closer to the CWA
and the low-level forcing strengthens. Widespread showers are
forecast tonight for areas along/ahead of the front which covers
nearly the whole CWA. Rainfall amounts should not be too high,
generally in the 0.25-0.50" range as the heavier rainfall should
hold off until Friday-Saturday morning with the onset of the
strongest forcing for ascent and deeper influx of Gulf of Mexico
moisture. The main thing rainfall today and tonight's rainfall
will do is help saturate the soils.

The other story today will be the gusty southerly winds. As the
surface pressure gradient tightens and mixing commences this
morning, very strong winds just off the deck (40+ knots) will
attempt to mix down to the surface. Gusts of 30 to at least 40 mph
appear likely centered around the noon hour with the highest gusts
located across portions of south-central Illinois. Gusts may flirt
with advisory criteria, but the duration should be very short
(maybe only an hour or two), so held off on a wind advisory at
this time.

Temperatures will be warmer this afternoon compared to yesterday,
even with the increasing chances of showers and cloud cover, due to
a warmer start to the day and persistent low-level warm air
advection. High temperatures in the 50s are expected areawide.
Very mild lows are on tap for tonight ahead of the front,
generally in the 40s to low 50s. These values would be about 20-30
degrees above normal.

.LONG TERM...  (Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 318 AM CST Thu Jan 9 2020

(Friday - Saturday Night)

No big changes with respect to the heavy rainfall threat Friday
through Saturday morning. Subtle changes were made to the total
rainfall amounts expanding 2-3" area slightly northwestward. As a
result, expanded the flash flood watch a few more counties as well.
The timing has slowed down a few hours as well, with the heavy
rainfall threat lasting a bit longer into the morning hours on
Saturday for southeastern sections of the forecast area. Have
therefore extended the flash flood watch in time until noon for
these locations.

All remains on track however for the potential for very heavy
rainfall rates due to the following factors: 1) slow-moving cold
front, 2) very strong forcing for ascent throughout the troposphere,
3) anomalous moisture content which is 3-4 plus standard deviations
above normal, and 4) isolated-scattered thunderstorms. Bottom
line...a fairly long duration of heavy, efficient rainfall rates are
expected to slowly progress to the east/southeast with the passage
of the surface cold front. Most areas are forecast to receive
widespread amounts of 1.50- 2.50 inches alone between late Friday
afternoon and Saturday morning. This amount of rain falling on
already saturated soils will certainly pose a flash flood threat
across much of the region. In addition to the flash flood threat,
widespread minor to moderate river flooding is expected across the
area over the next several days, with major flooding possible
along the Illinois, Kaskaskia, and Meramec Rivers. Stay tuned to
the latest river forecasts moving forward, if you live near these
waterways.

In addition to the heavy rainfall threat, there is a narrow
temporal and spatial window for strong to severe thunderstorms
late Friday night, mainly across southeastern Missouri. High-
resolution model guidance (CAMs) suggest the northern end of an
evolving QLCS will attempt to move out of eastern
Oklahoma/northern Arkansas late Friday night and may clip our
southeastern Missouri counties. Isolated wind damage would be the
main threat if this scenario were to occur.

The heavy rainfall threat should exit the CWA by midday on Saturday
as the surface cold front finally processes through the CWA.
Attention will then turn to the secondary shortwave trough ejecting
out of the south-central Plains. Deterministic models have come to a
much better agreement with the evolution of this system, mainly
toward a slower, deeper, and further northwest track. Using the
Brown and Younkin (1970) technique, based on the consensus track of
the 850-hPa low, the heaviest axis of snow should be located from
west-central Missouri northeastward through north-central and
northeast Missouri and into southeastern Iowa. Given that these
deep, closed lows tend to trend northwestward, leaned on the NAM/CMC
models which are furthest northwest. Snow amounts across far
northwestern sections of the area are mainly in the 3-5" range, but
there is still a fair amount of uncertainty. Another 50 mile shift
to the northwest would basically take out any significant snowfall
accumulations in the CWA, which is certainly a possibility. Given
this uncertainty and the time until any wintry precipitation would
begin, held off on a winter storm watch. In addition to the
snowfall, it does appear more likely that at least some
accumulations of sleet and freezing rain will occur as the further
northwest track keeps temperatures aloft above freezing. Ice
amounts of a light glaze to slightly above a tenth of an inch are
expected, mainly across central and northeast Missouri as well as
west-central Illinois.

Snowfall associated with the deformation zone should exit
northwestern sections of the CWA Saturday evening, with a cold and
dry night expected thereafter. Look for decreasing cloudiness and
lows in the mid teens to mid twenties. Single digit lows are
possible across northeast Missouri if several of inches of snow
falls due to favorable conditions for radiational cooling late
Saturday night. However, this appears more probable just a bit to
the west/northwest of our area at this time.

(Sunday - Wednesday)

Quasi-zonal to southwesterly flow aloft remains largely in place for
the end of the extended portion of the forecast with several
shortwaves moving just to the north of the area. These disturbances
should bring low chances of mainly rain to the area. The good news
is that it does not appear that any significant rainfall would be in
store due to weak moisture return ahead of each of these systems.

Temperatures should start off near normal on Sunday before
moderating once again into the 50s each day Monday-Tuesday. A cold
front is expected to move through the area sometime Tuesday so
slightly cooler air is likely by Wednesday.

.AVIATION...  (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Friday Morning)
Issued at 526 AM CST Thu Jan 9 2020

Low-level wind shear is ongoing early this morning as RAP
soundings suggest a 50-60 knot low-level jet around 2000 feet off
the ground. The low-level wind shear end later on this morning as
southerly surface winds increase and become quite gusty. The
threat for rain showers will increase steadily through the day and
become likely late this afternoon into this evening across the
area. Heavier showers will be capable of dropping visibilities
into the MVFR range. Ceilings will also steadily lower through the
period, with low end MVFR or high end IFR conditions favored
tonight.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:

Low-level wind shear should end later on this morning as surface
winds become very gusty. Rain showers are likely most of tonight
and they may reduce visibilities to 3-5SM. Ceilings will steadily
drop today/tonight, with MVFR conditions favored from late this
afternoon through the remainder of the period. IFR ceilings are
possible late tonight into Friday morning, but was not confident
enough at this time to introduce these ceilings. Surface winds out
of the south today may gust to 30-35 knots before subsiding
slightly overnight tonight.
