What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this heat advisory 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 heat advisory went out at Aug 4, 10:51 PM CDT, 4 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 10:51 PM CDT, 4 hours before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 1051 PM CDT Thu Aug 4 2022 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Friday Night) Issued at 310 PM CDT Thu Aug 4 2022 As of 3 PM, widespread heavy rain has ended for at least the next several days across the region, which is quite a relief for St. Louis and the surrounding area where record rain has fallen over the past two weeks. However, while MOST of the heavy rain has ended for the next several days, today and tomorrow will continue to feature chances for isolated to widely scattered showers and a few thunderstorms during the mid to late afternoon periods. While a cold front has settled into the region, it's forward progress was stalled across northern Missouri and west central Illinois. As a result, a modified but still very humid airmass remains in place across most of the region, leaving the door open for afternoon destabilization and isolated to widely scattered showers. On the other hand, very little forcing remains in place an an upper level ridge slowly nudges eastward into the region, with few impulses or other upper level features that could provide a boost for initiation. During the afternoon today, convergence along a boundary associated with a departing MCV across southern Illinois could provide a focus for convective development, although confidence is low regarding whether this will occur locally. Should a few showers develop though, deep warm cloud depths and a high moisture content (2 to 2.25") will continue to support efficient rain rates. Meanwhile, slow storm motions would also be expected, and the combination of these two factors means that we can't rule out very isolated flooding impacts across extremely limited areas...especially if such a storm forms over areas that have been significantly impacted by recent rains. Fortunately, modest instability and very weak wind shear will likely preclude any notable storm organization and will limit the potential for anything to become strong or severe. These shower chances will be very similar both this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, with the best chances from the Mississippi river eastward. Otherwise, temperatures today will settle near or slightly below seasonal averages, albeit with high humidity. Some patchy fog may develop overnight thanks to the lingering moisture and gradually decreasing cloud cover, but confidence is low regarding the potential coverage of said fog given that skies are not likely to completely clear. Temperatures tomorrow will likely be around 2-4 degrees warmer than today, with continued high humidity and heat indexes approaching 95 to 100 degrees in places. BRC .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Next Thursday) Issued at 310 PM CDT Thu Aug 4 2022 Long term key messages: 1) Slightly above normal temperatures and continued high humidity will push heat indexes to between 100 and 105 degrees both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. 2) While the possibility of isolated showers and thunderstorms will continue Saturday and Sunday, rain chances increase significantly between Sunday night and Tuesday morning as another weak cold front sinks into the area. An upper level ridge, currently located over the western Plains will continue to build eastward on Saturday and Sunday. Southerly winds will keep the area warm and moist through the weekend, with the heat index nearing or reaching 105 both days. Ensemble temperature forecast spreads remain generally narrow over the weekend, suggesting that the timing of the front is trending toward a more certain overnight or later arrival of a cold front well beyond peak heating Sunday. An upper level shortwave trough will advance across the northern CONUS on Sunday and Monday. The passage of this trough will bring a cold front on Monday; however, confidence is not high on the speed and placement of the front. This cold front is likely to bring precipitation to the area. And while models show weak instability and low CAPE on Monday, the potential still exists for heavy rains. This is partially due to uncertainty on the speed of the cold front; a slower front is more likely to bring heavy rain than a faster front. Also, the ground is still quite saturated from the large amount of rainfall received over the past 2 weeks, which heightens the potential for heavy rain to cause flooding where it does occur. While it's still too early to fully determine the evolution of precipitation this far out, there are some additional parameters that suggest periods of heavy rain will be possible across most of the CWA during this timeframe...albeit not the entire timeframe. Ensemble members support this general concept, with most members producing at least some precipitation, with a smattering of members producing values between 1-2 inches. Precipitable water values will also likely climb to between 1 and 2 sigma above normal within this airmass. Meanwhile, at least some enhancement of a southwesterly low level jet is suggested by deterministic runs, which could act as a focus for additional showers and thunderstorms. Either way, the cold front will usher in cooler temperatures. After the passage of the front on Monday, it looks to be relatively calm with low precipitation chances through mid-week next week. REM/BRC && .AVIATION... (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Friday Night) Issued at 1049 PM CDT Thu Aug 4 2022 Primary concern overnight is with the potential for fog development. We find ourselves on the southwestern periphery of high pressure where we haven't gotten a good drying flow but with winds nearly calm overnight under a clear sky. The temperature has already fallen to the dewpoint in some spots, and fog development is a good possibility overnight along with accompanying lower ceilings. The most likely area for fog to develop is in valley locations that received rain this evening, mainly KSUS. But more widespread fog is possible especially along and north of the remnant cold front affecting KUIN. There's less confidence at the metro St Louis terminals, but it remains a possibility. Any fog or lower ceilings will disperse shortly after 12Z giving way to VFR conditions and light SE winds tomorrow. Some afternoon cumulus is possible as well as a stray shower, although the likelihood of affecting any TAF site is low. Kimble && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
