What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Birmingham, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 11, 1:03 PM CDT, 53 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 11, 1:03 PM CDT, 53 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
103 PM CDT FRI APR 11 2008

.UPDATE...FOR 18Z AVIATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

EARLY MORNING TEMPERATURES ARE RANGING FROM THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S
ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. WINDS CONTINUE TO BE SOUTHERLY WITH THE
OCCASIONAL GUST TO 20 MPH ACROSS THE NORTH. DEWPOINTS RANGE FROM THE
MID AND UPPER 60S ACROSS THE WEST TO THE MID AND UPPER 50S
ELSEWHERE. A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM MISSOURI THROUGH ARKANSAS AND
INTO TEXAS. WELL ADVERTISED LINE OF CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL
TENNESSEE AND NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI CONTINUES TO CREEP CLOSER TO
NORTHWEST ALABAMA THIS MORNING.  AS EXPECTED...IT HAS WEAKENED QUITE
A BIT OVERNIGHT.

THE PRE-FRONTAL LINE WILL BE SLOW TO PUSH INTO THE AREA THIS MORNING
AND SHOULD HANG UP OVER THE NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES UNTIL THE COLD
FRONT APPROACHES WEST ALABAMA SOMETIME AFTER MIDDAY. BY THAT
TIME...THE ATMOSPHERE OVER CENTRAL ALABAMA WILL HAVE HAD PLENTY OF
TIME TO DESTABILIZE AND NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE I-59 CORRIDOR EARLY
AFTERNOON. SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL THE PRIMARY THREATS. AS FOR
TORNADOES...FORECAST SOUNDING PROFILES CONTINUE TO SHOW BOUNDARY
LAYER WINDS BECOMING SOUTHWESTERLY AND MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL AS THE
MORNING PROGRESSES. BY THE TIME THE GREATEST INSTABILITY IS
REALIZED...THE TORNADIC THREAT SHOULD BE MINIMAL.

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH AS WE LOSE THE
DAYTIME INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...ONGOING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE WELL INTO THE EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY PASSES
THROUGH THE STATE.

SATURDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH OUT OF SOUTHEAST
ALABAMA BY MID MORNING. THE INITIAL WAVE OF COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL
ALSO BE NOTICEABLE SATURDAY AS HIGHS RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S TO
LOWER 70S. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY OUT OF THE WEST NORTHWEST.

88

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER PATTERN STARTS THE WEEK...WITH TROUGH AXIS
JUST TO THE WEST OF CENTRAL ALABAMA AT THE START OF THE PERIOD. THE
TROUGH AXIS MOVES ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY PROVIDING DEEP NORTHERLY
FLOW THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. UPPER FLOW THEN TRANSITIONS TO
SOUTHWEST INTO FRIDAY AS RIDGE SLOWLY TRAVERSES THE AREA. 500MB
HEIGHTS DROP INTO THE 540S MONDAY AND REBOUND INTO THE 580 RANGE BY
THURSDAY. THE LATEST RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF APPEAR TO HAVE GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THIS EVOLUTION...WHICH WILL BE MUCH LESS ACTIVE THAN
WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE LAST FEW WEEKS....ALTHOUGH QUITE A
TEMPERATURE RIDE THIS WEEK.

COLD CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY FILTERS INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA AND
REMAINS THE DOMINANT FEATURE THE ENTIRE PERIOD...ALTHOUGH QUITE
MODIFIED BY PERIODS END. GFS ENSEMBLE/GFS/NAM/ECMWF/SREF HAVE SOME
SPREAD ON THE MAGNITUDE OF THE COLD SNAP. AT THIS TIME...WILL TAKE
A MIXED APPROACH TO THE LOWS. WILL DROP READINGS INTO THE 30S SUNDAY
MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. WIND AND CLOUD COVER WILL
SOMEWHAT LIMIT OVERALL COOLING. WILL KEEP THE TREND OF THE COLDEST
MORNING FOR TUESDAY..WITH A FEW READINGS JUST BELOW FREEZING IN THE
NORMALLY COOLER SPOTS NORTHWEST AND EAST CENTRAL. ONCE AGAIN DUE
TO CLOUDS...HIGHS DO NOT INCH OUT OF THE 50S UNTIL TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES BACK TO NORMAL BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

GFS HAS SHIFTED TOWARD THE OLDER RUNS OF THE ECMWF KEEPING JUST
ENOUGH MOISTURE AND LIFT AROUND FOR A FEW SHOWERS SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY. RE-INTRODUCED THE 20 POPS EACH PERIOD WITH VERY LITTLE
IN THE WAY OF MEASURING. TO KEEP CONSISTENCY WITH COLDER TEMPS
SURFACE AND ALOFT...MENTIONED SNOW SHOWERS NORTH AND EAST. A FEW
FLAKES MAY BE MIXED IN AT TIMES...BUT OVERALL NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS
NOT FAVORED DUE TO CLIMATOLOGY...BUT MODELS HAVE BEEN CONVERGING
TOWARD THIS COLD SOLUTION.

75/LINHARES

.AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

LINE OF STORMS COMING IN FROM THE WEST WILL AFFECT ALL TAF SITES
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. BASED THE TIMING OF THESE STORMS
ON CURRENT RADAR TREND. THE ONLY FLIGHT PROBLEMS WILL OCCUR DURING A
THUNDERSTORM. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO LAST LATE INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. MUCH IMPROVED CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TOMORROW.
