JajaWhat 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 Jun 12, 6:05 PM CDT, 3 hours 31 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Thunderstorms are possible Saturday morning across portions of the region. The severe weather threat with these is low.
- Additional thunderstorms are expected along a cold front Saturday evening. These will have a greater threat for damaging winds.
- Below normal temperatures and dry conditions are expected Sunday into early next week.

Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 605 PM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Thunderstorms are possible Saturday morning across portions of the region. The severe weather threat with these is low. - Additional thunderstorms are expected along a cold front Saturday evening. These will have a greater threat for damaging winds. - Below normal temperatures and dry conditions are expected Sunday into early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Saturday Night) Issued at 224 PM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026 A weak area of high pressure is currently situated across eastern Missouri and will quickly slide eastward into the Ohio Valley tonight. Low-level winds will turn out of the south/southwest, with increasing mid/high level clouds ahead of a midlevel disturbance moving eastward out of the south-central Plains. Surface winds turning out of the south along with the aforementioned increase in clouds are expected to stunt the temperature drop overnight, with lows mainly in the low to mid 60s (close to seasonal averages). Dry conditions are forecast for the most part overnight, though some low chances (20-40%) of showers and thunderstorms return to parts of central/southeast Missouri toward daybreak Saturday as low-level moisture convergence increases. Better chances (40-60%) for showers and thunderstorms hold off until after sunrise Saturday morning as storms are likely to move in from the west. There is some uncertainty on the timing as some CAMs have pretty high coverage early in the morning whereas others actually move an MCV in later in the day toward southeast Missouri. Any activity early in the morning should be elevated, at least initially, with hail to the size of quarters possible in the strongest cores. The low-level jet does not abate at all during the day, so the expectation is for any ongoing showers and thunderstorms Saturday morning to at the very least percolate into the early afternoon hours. In fact, moisture convergence actually strengthens throughout the day on deterministic models, with the nose of the jet focused on southwest/south central Missouri. Storms may try and get more surface-based with time, which would also increase the risk for damaging winds in a multicellular clusters/line segments that manage to get a consolidated, balanced cold pool. This threat likely would be higher in the scenario where an MCV moves toward southeast Missouri more toward midday/early afternoon. The best chances for severe weather (and thunderstorms in general) are a bit further to our southwest where the low-level moisture convergence should be stronger and where higher instability is likely to be located. In addition to the possible strong to severe thunderstorms, locally heavy rainfall may be a threat. There is some concern for training of thunderstorms in an environment with increasingly deep warm cloud depths and high precipitable water values (~1.80"; >95th percentile of climatology). This area of the CWA has largely missed out on the rainfall over the past 72 hours. In fact, MRMS pass 2 72-hour totals are largely in the 0.10-0.50" range. Therefore, while antecedent conditions are not exactly "dry", they aren't nearly as susceptible as parts of northeast Missouri/west central Illinois where 4-8" of rain has fallen. With the best threat for sustained, robust convection staying to our southwest, will hold off on a flash flood watch. The LPMM from the 12Z HREF only shows some isolated pockets of 1-2" of rain through Saturday afternoon across central/southeast Missouri. While I could not rule out some higher totals if there is sustained training, even 2-3" over a 3-hour period is largely less than the latest flash-flood guidance. Attention heading toward the early evening will shift northwestward toward an approaching surface cold front. At least scattered showers and thunderstorms should develop along the boundary across northwest Missouri into southeastern Iowa. The higher coverage (and likely better chance of severe) of thunderstorms may stay to our west where surface convergence is greatest. How much instability will reside across our northern counties is a bit uncertain for early Saturday evening, not so much due to the earlier convection (which should stay well to the south), but due to spread with respect to the moisture return ahead of the boundary. The IQR spread for instability in northeast Missouri/west central Illinois is around 1000-2000 J/kg on the 12Z HREF centered on 7PM Saturday evening. So, while there is high confidence in sufficient deep-layer shear (35- 40+ knots) for organized strong-severe convection, there is a lot less confidence in instability. In addition, as alluded to above, the stronger surface convergence is very likely to reside well to our west moreso across eastern Kansas. While there is still likely enough surface convergence for at least some convective initiation, as we saw yesterday, weaker surface convergence does lead the severity of the storms more into question. Storms may tend to be more outflow dominant once again, which may tend to keep winds more on the subsevere side. Speaking of winds, that does look to be the primary threat for most of the area, though large hail is certainly possible through early evening across portions of northeast Missouri and west-central Illinois. Those locations also may have a brief flash flood threat given the susceptibility, but overall storms should be quite progressive. Initial storms should be supercells given the mostly orthogonal component of the deep-layer shear vector to the cold front. Storms should tend to grow more upscale due to the moderately strong linear forcing along the front. With time, storms should tend to weaken through the night as deep-layer shear weakens and storms are likely to head into a more hostile (i.e., less instability) environment. Parts of east central and southeast Missouri as well as southwest Illinois are more likely to be impacted by earlier convective activity. Gosselin && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Next Friday) Issued at 224 PM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026 (Sunday - Monday Night) Behind Saturday night's cold front, much cooler and drier air will infiltrate the mid-Mississippi Valley. The incoming air mass looks particularly strong for this time of year, characterized by 850-hPa temperatures below +10C (~5th percentile), anomalous surface high pressure (~1020 hPa; >90th percentile), and low dewpoints (50s; ~10th percentile). Not surprisingly, a period of well-below normal temperatures is expected with this air mass along with dry weather. Highs in the 70s with lows in the 50s are forecast. These values would be about 10 degrees below normal for the middle of June. (Tuesday - Next Friday) Ensemble guidance is in fairly good agreement with respect to the synoptic pattern across the CONUS through much of next week. Mid/upper level northwest flow will remain entrenched across the eastern two-thirds of the US, with multiple midlevel shortwave troughs moving quickly across the Upper Midwest. This means multiple cold frontal passages for our neck of the woods, and timing these features is a bit difficult this far out. That being said, the first one is likely late Tuesday, with another for Wednesday night. Each of these fronts may bring showers and thunderstorms to the region, with the better signal for Wednesday night (50-70% chance). That front will have to be watched, as there will be ample deep-layer shear (40-50+ knots). Moisture return/instability will again be the question mark along where surface convergence is strongest. Temperatures are expected to moderate through Wednesday ahead of the second and stronger cold front back closer to normal. At least slightly cooler readings are expected to end the week, but there is still a lot of spread with both the timing of that second cold front and with respect to how cool the incoming air mass will be for late week. Gosselin && .AVIATION... (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Saturday Evening) Issued at 559 PM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026 The main concern during this TAF period will be the potential for more showers and thunderstorms, particularly Saturday morning. While VFR conditions are expected through this evening and into the early overnight hours, showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across parts of central Missouri very late tonight and slowly move east through the morning. These will be most likely to impact COU/JEF with bursts of heavy rain and perhaps some hail as well, with visibility reductions also possible. Remnants of these thunderstorms may also reach STL/SUS/CPS later in the morning but confidence is lower this far east. This activity is expected to clear by early afternoon, but another round of showers and thunderstorms, including potentially severe thunderstorms, may impact terminals tomorrow evening and overnight. This currently only impacts the end of the UIN and 30 hour STL TAFs, but will need to add thunderstorm mention to the remaining terminals with the 06Z issuance.
