CarneyWhat 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 May 5, 6:55 PM CDT, 2 hours 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 5, 6:55 PM CDT, 2 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 655 PM CDT Thu May 5 2022 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Friday Night) Issued at 242 PM CDT Thu May 5 2022 This morning's soaking rain has moved out of the area, though a stacked cyclone remains to just to the west of the region. This system will continue to drift east, bringing another round of precipitation into central/southern MO as the center of the low moves into the region late this evening. On and off showers will then spread across the region overnight, lingering until the low departs the region tomorrow afternoon. We may see a few thunderstorms embedded within the showers, mainly south of the I-70 corridor, though very limited instability will keep these few a far between. The lack of deep convection should keep additional precip totals in check, with amounts generally expected to be less than 1". However, the HREF probability matched mean QPF, which preserves some of the higher precip bullseyes in the individual CAMS, does show additional QPF exceeding 1" over a small portion of our forecast area. Should this heavier precipitation fall over areas that have already received 2-3", generally between the Missouri and Meramec Rivers, it may exacerbate any lingering flooding issues. Continued showers, overcast skies, and generally northerly winds will keep temperatures quite cool tomorrow. BSH .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Next Thursday) Issued at 242 PM CDT Thu May 5 2022 By Saturday morning, the cyclone responsible for today's wet weather will be pushing through the Mid-Atlantic states, which will draw much of the moisture responsible for Friday's rain and clouds out of the area. Meanwhile a broad trough will be digging into the Pacific Northwest, deepening a surface trough over the High Plains as it pushes eastward through the day. Downstream of the trough, deep ridging will amplify over the Midwest, with the ridge axis pushing east of the Mississippi sometime on Saturday. As the ridge shifts east, winds over the mid-Mississippi River Valley will shift from the north/east to the south by Saturday afternoon or evening. The initially cool winds on Saturday, along with any lingering clouds associated with the departing low, will result in a chilly start to the day. Temperatures will then climb rapidly and reach to just below normal by the afternoon. Southerly flow will intensify on Saturday night and Sunday as the PacNW trough pushes further inland and the surface trough/low deepens over the Plains. Increasing southerly winds draw even warmer air into the region, with both the NAEFS and ECMWF ensemble means topping the 90th climatological percentile across much of the forecast area by Sunday afternoon. The southerly winds will also advect deeper moisture into the region, though there is some uncertainty as to whether this increasing moisture will be sufficient to result in precipitation. Roughly 30% of ensemble members are spitting out measurable precipitation somewhere in our forecast area, with the majority of those members residing in the GEFS system. If we do see any precip, the odds of seeing any impactful showers or thunderstorms appears quite low; virtually none of the ensemble members show even 0.01" of QPF on Sunday, and the probability for any more than 500 J/kg of MUCAPE is quite low. The upper level flow will further amplify as we move into the work week with the ridge expanding across the eastern half of CONUS and a reinforcing shortwave deepening the trough over the western CONUS. This will result in deep southwesterly flow over the central portion of the country and will continue to advect even warmer temperatures into the region. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, both the ECMWF and NAEFS ensemble mean 850 temps are at or near climatological maximums area-wide. With rising heights aloft largely keeping a lid on precipitation chances and limiting cloud coverage, temperatures should easily push into the upper 80s and will approach record values in most locations. Things may get slightly cooler on Thursday as the upper ridge begins to break down, but considerable differences remain in the guidance this far out. Nevertheless, we can say the the well above normal temperatures will continue into the end of next week. BSH && .AVIATION... (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Friday Evening) Issued at 654 PM CDT Thu May 5 2022 Although flight conditions have improved to VFR or MVFR this evening, a relapse is anticipated later this evening into overnight as IFR stratus redevelops and band of showers likely shifts northeastward into the region. A stray thunderstorm cannot be ruled out but is most favored to occur across southeastern MO and southwestern IL. Light showers or drizzle could linger at St. Louis metro terminals through at least at portion of Friday morning. Otherwise, flight conditions should become increasingly dry and gradually improve to MVFR from late morning onward as IFR ceilings lift/scatter. Winds will generally back from northeasterly to northerly or northwesterly throughout the TAF period and occasionally gust to around 20 kt by Friday afternoon. Pfahler && .CLIMATE...
