MaplesWhat 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 24, 6:36 PM CDT, 2 hours 54 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- -Thunderstorms will continue to develop through this evening with some strong to severe storms possible and capable of primarily large hail and damaging winds with a low threat of tornadoes. -Severe thunderstorms are expected late Saturday night into Sunday morning and possibly again during the afternoon/evening, with large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado possible. -Next week will usher in a pattern change toward drier, more seasonal weather.

Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 636 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... -Thunderstorms will continue to develop through this evening with some strong to severe storms possible and capable of primarily large hail and damaging winds with a low threat of tornadoes. -Severe thunderstorms are expected late Saturday night into Sunday morning and possibly again during the afternoon/evening, with large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado possible. -Next week will usher in a pattern change toward drier, more seasonal weather. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Sunday) Issued at 358 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024 Storms continue to develop along and north of an outflow boundary that stretches from north-central Missouri, where it intersects with a cold front, southeastward into southwestern Illinois. Forecast soundings in this area show that a very unstable airmass with ML CAPEs 3000-4000 J/kg, ML LR of 7-8C/km and effective shear of 35 to 50 kts will support organized storms, including supercells and severe multicells, with large hail and damaging winds the main threats, though can't rule out a tornado or two as well. Also, the latest HRRR indicates mean PWs around 1.5" and the potential for back-building convection north of St. Louis that could result in excessive rainfall rates up to 2"/hr, so flash flood warnings may be needed. Otherwise, the front will continue to move east through this evening and convection will gradually diminish and weaken. The cold front will exit the forecast area by 07z Saturday. As a surface ridge builds into the region on Saturday, it will be the pick day of the holiday weekend. Sunny, dry and warm conditions expected with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. In the meantime, the upper level trough over the western CONUS will begin to lift out towards the Great Lakes. As the associated surface low deepens in the lee of the Rockies and accompanying warm front lifts northward, convection will initiate on the nose of a strong low level jet (50-60kts) Saturday evening as moist, unstable air surges into the central Plains. Then as the low level jet veers over time, the MCS that develops over northern KS will slide east across the area. Still some uncertainty on the exact location of the warm front/convection due to discrepancies among the deterministic as well as ensemble models. For now stuck with the latest NBM solution which has the best chances of rain along and north of I-70 late Saturday night through Sunday. As for any strong to severe storms, the best location will be along the southern periphery of the complex where the strongest instability/shear will be (MU CAPEs between 2000-3000 J/kg and 0-6km bulk shear 40-50kts), with all hazards possible. Once the complex moves through, there is still some uncertainty on afternoon/evening redevelopment depending on how much the atmosphere can recover, where any outflow boundary sets up and timing of the main cold front. So for now feel that the best time for severe weather will be with the complex late Saturday night through Sunday morning, though can't rule out additional strong to severe storms Sunday afternoon/evening. Byrd && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Next Friday) Issued at 358 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024 As the system exits the region, the showers and storms will taper off from west to east by late Sunday night. Another shortwave will rotate around the surface low over the Great Lakes region. This will bring another round of showers and a few thunderstorms Monday afternoon. Then for the remainder of the forecast period, upper level ridge will build over the western CONUS with a trough in the east, so forecast area will remain in northwest flow aloft. Thus temperatures will be a bit below normal with dry weather through Thursday before the pattern begins to change late in the work week. Byrd && .AVIATION... (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Saturday Evening) Issued at 634 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024 Cold front beginning to move through the region. As of 23z, the front has moved through KCOU and KUIN and will be through KJEF by 00z Saturday. The front will move through St. Louis metro area TAF sites by 02z-03z Saturday. In the meantime, storms will be moving through the metro area, so kept MVFR visibilities until front moves through. Otherwise, winds will veer to the west to northwest behind the front and gradually diminish. As ridge builds in, winds will become light and variable most locations.
