PfahlerWhat 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 Apr 1, 5:49 AM CDT, 5 hours 50 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Strong to severe Thunderstorms are possible after midnight tonight, primarily across parts of central and northeast Missouri. Severe thunderstorms are more likely on Wednesday afternoon.
- Periods of heavy rain are likely Thursday through Saturday. The threat of river flooding is becoming more likely across parts of southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. Flash flooding will will also be possible in these areas.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 1, 5:49 AM CDT, 5 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 549 AM CDT Tue Apr 1 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Strong to severe Thunderstorms are possible after midnight tonight, primarily across parts of central and northeast Missouri. Severe thunderstorms are more likely on Wednesday afternoon. - Periods of heavy rain are likely Thursday through Saturday. The threat of river flooding is becoming more likely across parts of southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. Flash flooding will will also be possible in these areas. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 425 AM CDT Tue Apr 1 2025 A ridge of high pressure has moved east of the forecast area this morning, and the wind has turned back to the east-southeast. Winds will continue to veer to the southeast and become increase as the pressure gradient tightens between the high to our east and a strengthening low pressure system over the central Plains. The southeast flow will boost temperatures back into the upper 50s to mid 60s this afternoon. The low level jet increases this evening as the low over the Plains continues to deepen and move east. All guidance shows moderate to strong moisture convergence across Missouri and Illinois during the evening. However only the GFS of the operational deterministic models spits out a significant amount of QPF during the evening. A few of the CAMs develop spotty showers as well, mostly over central and northeast Missouri into west central Illinois. With most models staying dry through the evening, have lowered PoPs to chance before midnight. The real chance for precip develops overnight into Wednesday morning. Convection is expected to develop over the eastern Plains during the evening on the nose of the low level jet which will be screaming at 60-70kts just ahead of the low. CAMs show the storms growing upscale into multiple lines as they move east through the night. There are timing differences in when the storms reach our area, but the consensus is sometime between 08-12Z Wednesday. Leaned toward the earlier solutions as the models can be a little slow in these situations. Forecast soundings show a very pronounced low level inversion, so the storms should be elevated by the time they reach our area. Given that, large hail should be the primary severe weather threat with 1000-1500 J/Kg of MUCAPE and shear in the 50-60kt range. The low level wind field will be very strong, with up to 60kts only 2500 feet above the ground, so an isolated damaging wind gust will be possible as well if a stronger storm can mix that down through the inversion. There are still a lot of uncertainty in the severe forecast for Wednesday. Morning convection will continue east through the day, fed by the low level jet which will continue to rip along at 50-60ts until the low begins accelerating northeast during the late afternoon. The clouds and showers could really limit instability, thereby limiting the strength of afternoon convection. Several CAMs seem to show this with weaker afternoon convection than others. Most notably though, the GFS and RAP show a narrow corridor of recovering instability during the afternoon just ahead of the front in a virtually uncapped atmosphere. By 21-22Z MLCAPE hits 1400-1800 J/Kg and SBCAPE hits 1800-2200 J/Kg. If anything the shear will be stronger during the afternoon than it was in the morning. This environment would promote rotating updrafts therefore damaging winds, very large hail and tornadoes would all be possible. The mode still looks messy since the shear is nearly parallel to the boundary, but lines/clusters of supercells and mergers look likely if the instability can be realized Wednesday afternoon. The front will slowing down Wednesday afternoon as the low driving it moves northeast away from us. Timing the end of the thunderstorm threat in our eastern and southern counties is therefore difficult. Most guidance has it ending in southeast Missouri and south central Illinois between 00-03Z. One last hazard to mention before moving beyond Wednesday. Gradient winds will be very strong on Wednesday due to the tight pressure gradient between the low which will be moving into the Upper Midwest and the ridge of high pressure over the eastern U.S. Current forecast is for sustained winds of 20-25kts with gusts to 40+ kts until the gradient slackens during the late afternoon and evening. Carney && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday Night through Monday) Issued at 425 AM CDT Tue Apr 1 2025 The remainder of the week looks no less busy than Wednesday, though for different reasons. The cold front stalls over Arkansas/west Tennessee Wednesday night, where it stays until Saturday night. A large trough over the Desert Southwest ejects several waves of vorticity which ripple over the front Thursday through Saturday, increasing the synoptic scale lift. All the while a strong pressure gradient between the trough to the west and high pressure over the western Atlantic and Gulf will keep the low level jet pointed right at the baroclinic zone over northern Arkansas and Southern Missouri. Deterministic guidance shows waves of very strong moisture convergence moving across northern Arkansas and southern Missouri Thursday through Saturday which will produce periods of heavy rain. NAEFS P-wat forecasts are showing 1.50+ inches at times which is in the 99.9th to MAX climatological percentile for early April. Timing the waves of heaviest precip is tough as the models never really stop precipitating and are constantly contaminated with convective feedback. The latest QPF from WPC for Wednesday through early Sunday morning ranges from around 2 inches in northeast Missouri to 9+ in southeast Missouri with as 8+ in southwest and south central Illinois. If these amounts are realized, river flooding is a virtual certainty across the eastern Ozarks into southern Illinois and flash flooding is a real possibility. Additionally, the ECMWF Ensemble Extreme Forecast Index QPF highlights much of southeast Missouri Friday night with abnormally high QPF, and the Shift of Tails is +2 indicating the there's some probability that some members of the ensemble are forecasting QPF greater than the 99th climate percentile, which adds confidence that this could be an extreme event. The heavy rain threat ends Sunday as the long wave trough moves east into the Plains and Midwest. Aside from a chance of lingering light rain Sunday, the remainder of the forecast looks dry. The deep trough drags a cold high into the Mississippi Valley Sunday night into Monday, which has the potential to drop temperatures below freezing Monday and Tuesday morning. Carney && .AVIATION... (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Wednesday Morning) Issued at 544 AM CDT Tue Apr 1 2025 Winds will increase from the southeast and become gusty today. Wind gusts of 20-30kts are likely by 00Z and will continue through the night. If gusts cease at any time tonight, low level wind shear will become a problem across the area, however guidance suggests that gusts will persist all night. Otherwise, VFR flight conditions are expected to prevail until after 06Z when ceilings are likely to fall to MVFR as an area of showers and thunderstorms moves in from the west. VFR flight conditions are expected through the Carney && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...None. IL...None. && WFO LSX
