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 Jun 19, 6:06 AM CDT, 4 hours 42 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- A subtle fluctuation between seasonably cool to near-average warmth and humidity will persist through next week.
- Widespread showers and thunderstorms are forecast from late Saturday night through early Monday afternoon with thunderstorms capable of locally heavy rainfall.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 6:06 AM CDT, 4 hours 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 606 AM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - A subtle fluctuation between seasonably cool to near-average warmth and humidity will persist through next week. - Widespread showers and thunderstorms are forecast from late Saturday night through early Monday afternoon with thunderstorms capable of locally heavy rainfall. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Saturday Afternoon) Issued at 212 AM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026 An area of surface high pressure that originated in Canada yesterday has continued to slide southward and is now centered over the area. Calm surface winds coupled with a mostly clear sky across most of the area, aside from some higher clouds, has aided in modest radiational cooling which has allowed most of the area to reach the upper 50s to lower 60s early this morning. As a result some locations, particularly in river valleys and low-lying areas, may experience some patchy fog this morning that would begin to fade shortly after sunrise today. Precipitation wise, as of 2am (07z), there is currently some meager scattered shower activity nudging its way east across southern MO. This activity is tied to a southwest to northeast oriented band of 850mb frontogenesis, which model guidance shows will continue to weaken throughout the early morning. This includes the CAMs, which only resolve a few scattered showers or a stray weak thunderstorm clipping Reynolds/Iron/Madison counties in southern MO just before sunrise. As a result, a brief shower/weak storm cannot be ruled out for portions of southern MO early this morning, but this scenario remains unlikely (<15%) as subsidence associated with the surface high continues to increase. The aforementioned surface high is forecast to essentially come to a halt and fan out across the Midwest. As a result, it will influence our weather through Saturday in the form of light surface winds, low cloud cover, low precipitation chances (<15%), and slightly below normal temperatures. Quasi-zonal flow aloft will remain in place during this timeframe with a general lack of mid/upper-level features propagating within, favoring a quiet and tranquil pattern. The only exception to this pattern is a few subtle pieces of mid- level energy that long-range guidance resolves within the flow aloft late tonight into early on Saturday. The best chances for showers and a stray thunderstorm appear to remain just to our north across Iowa/northern IL, where a better chance (20-30%) exists. As of now, the ingredients are less favorable across our area, resulting in spotty 20% chances across the area early on Saturday. Highs today and Saturday will be very similar in the low/mid 80s with lows tonight in the low/mid 60s across the area. Peine && .LONG TERM... (Saturday Night through Thursday) Issued at 212 AM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026 At the start of the extended, the mid/upper-level quasi-zonal flow pattern becomes increasingly active with several shortwave disturbance progged to be traversing into the Great Plains. As these features approach from the west, lee-side surface cyclogenesis commences Saturday evening resulting in strengthening warm/moist advection from the Gulf. By Sunday afternoon, the LREF mean reveals precipitable water values near 2-2.1" across the area (95-99th percentile), indicating the potential for heavy rainfall. With several shortwaves lined up within the quasi-zonal flow, it appears there will be about a 36 hour window from late Saturday night/early Sunday morning into Monday afternoon, where heavy rainfall will be a threat across the area. Coinciding with the abundant moisture will be abundant instability, which is expected to be greatest across western MO where the LREF indicates MUCAPE values ranging from 1,000- 2,000 J/kg across our area Sunday afternoon/evening. Forecast soundings reveal that a warm cloud layer >12,000ft is certainly possible, which increases the potential for warm rain processes that normally lead to more efficient rainfall production. Lastly, model guidance progs a strengthening LLJ on Sunday reaching 50+kts, leading to abundant moisture transport that will feed and organize ongoing thunderstorms and increase the potential for locally heavy rainfall. Analysis of deterministic long-range guidance reveals the potential for an MCS to develop Saturday evening across NE/KS. It appears the mid-level shortwave will work to trigger convective initiation near the strengthening lee-side surface cyclone with eastward propagation into western MO early Sunday morning. Once it nears the MO border, guidance reveals a plethora of MCS evolutions, leading to low confidence on where any threat for severe weather, mostly the potential for damaging wind gusts, and heavy rainfall will be. As it stands now, heavy rainfall is the primary threat as the atmosphere will be primed to feed thunderstorms that will be capable of producing efficient rainfall. Any thunderstorms within MCS's or that form along outflow boundaries and become oriented in a fashion to support training or back building of storms will lead to an increased risk for locally heavy rainfall and potentially flash flooding. Tuesday and into the middle of next week, northwesterly flow aloft resumes behind a longwave trough that slides into the Great Lakes region. A large-scale setup like this, with a lack of shortwave features or southern stream influence, will work to cut off precipitation chances for the area. The LREF probability for 6 hour accumulating precipitation unveils this with less than 20% chances across the entire area from Monday night into late Wednesday. Additionally, seasonably cool to near normal temperatures are forecast for the remainder of the extended also. Guidance is in good agreement on this as LREF temperature IQRs are less than 7 degrees through the end of next week. Peine && .AVIATION... (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Saturday Morning) Issued at 605 AM CDT Fri Jun 19 2026 Dry and VFR conditions are expected through the period with light and variable winds.
