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 Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 21, 6:28 AM CDT, 3 hours 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 21, 6:28 AM CDT, 3 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
628 AM CDT Sat May 21 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 627 AM CDT Sat May 21 2022

Updated to include 12z aviation discussion below.

&&

.DISCUSSION...(Today through Friday)
Issued at 335 AM CDT Sat May 21 2022

- Below normal temperatures through the middle of next week.

- Some patchy frost possible in central MN this weekend.

- Thunderstorm chances very low through the middle of next week.

Discussion...Cold air advection has kicked into high gear early this
morning as a complex low pressure system centered over SW WI
continues to move off to the east and western Canadian high pressure
slowly makes inroads into the Northern Plains. In addition, upper
level longwave troughing will remain in place over the Upper Midwest
through the weekend, then as that trough shifts out eastward a
second longwave trough will develop over the central CONUS late
Monday and remain in place through the first half of next week. This
reinforcement of the trough aloft will coincide with the high
pressure area slowly moving across the Upper Midwest, with both
features resulting in temperatures well below normal for late May
that will remain in place through the middle of next week. Highs
today and Sunday will remain in the 50s with lows this morning
through Monday morning plunging into the 30s. Highs climb back into
the 60s on Monday but it's not until Friday when the WFO MPX
coverage area can expect highs to return into the 70s. There is a
viable concern for frost in several central MN counties early Sunday
morning but there is a lack of confidence in optimal conditions
being achieved (lows down to 35, clear skies, light winds) so have
held off issuing a Frost Advisory.

Precipitation continues to look rather unimpressive on any given
day, but trying to find a definitive dry day through the next week
remains problematic with several weak shortwave disturbances
swinging through the area within the longwave troughs. A few
isolated afternoon-evening showers are possible today behind the
departing system. Even though thunder is not expected, the cold air
aloft could make for showers containing graupel. Again, coverage
will be very sparse but the atmospheric conditions are conducive to
such phenomena today. Skies will clear out late tonight through
tomorrow (so, supposedly, Sunday may well be that dry day) but then
clouds return early Monday with the reinvigoration of the trough
aloft, leading to the inclusion of PoPs from late Monday through
Thursday. With the storm track off to our south, along the base of
the trough aloft, precipitation chances are highest in southern MN
through western WI throughout the week. Thunder chances are quite
low through midweek, thus have only mention of showers in the
forecast and have omitted mention of thunderstorms.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning)
Issued at 627 AM CDT Sat May 21 2022

BKN/OVC skies to prevail throughout this TAF duration with ceilings
in the 4-7 kft range. VFR, but not by much. Isolated showers are
possible this afternoon but too few and far between to pinpoint, plus
will be very light and insignificant, so have omitted its mention and
kept the TAFs simple. Winds to prevail from the NW with speeds around
10 kts.

KMSP...No additional concerns.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
Mon...Mainly VFR. Chc -SHRA/MVFR in evening. Wind SE 10 kts.
Tue...Mainly VFR. Chc -SHRA/MVFR in afternoon-evening. Wind SE 10
kts.
