What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Sep 17, 6:58 PM CDT, 2 hours 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 17, 6:58 PM CDT, 2 hours 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
658 PM CDT THU SEP 17 2009

.UPDATE...AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

PESKY UPPER LOW TO OUR WEST WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW GULF MOISTURE
TO SPREAD NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WILL
GENERALLY KEEP LIKELY POPS EACH DAY DURING THE PEAK HEATING HOURS
AND THEN...MAINLY SCATTERED TO ISOLATED TYPE WORDING AS WE MOVE
THROUGH THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE
EACH AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR FLOODING CONCERNS.
HIGHS EACH DAY IN THE 80 TO 85 DEGREE RANGE WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

IT APPEARS THAT THE UPPER WILL GRADUALLY OPEN UP INTO A WEAKER
TROUGH WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR EAST TRYING TO BUILD WEST.  BIG
CONCERN IS RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF ANOTHER UPPER LOW FURTHER WEST AND
MOVING EASTWARD LATER IN THE PERIOD.  OVERALL...THE THETA-E AXIS
REMAINS ACROSS THE AREA WITH MOISTURE SPREADING NORTHWARD. WILL
GENERALLY KEEP POPS IN THE HIGH CHANCE CATEGORY THROUGH THE PERIOD
WITH THE HOPE OF SOME DRIER AIR LATER IN THE PERIOD.  HIGHS IN THE
80S EACH DAY WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS MAINLY IN THE 60S.

&&

.AVIATION...00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE IN COVERAGE FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. HOWEVER...A FEW TAF LOCATIONS COULD STILL BE
AFFECTED BY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. AFTER COVERAGE DECREASES...THE
MAIN AVIATION PROBLEMS WILL SHIFT TO CEILING AND VISIBILITY. FEEL
PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT ALL STATIONS WILL AT LEAST SEE MVFR CONDITIONS
AFTER 06Z...WITH SOME DROPPING AS LOW AS IFR DUE TO LOW CEILINGS.
CLOUD COVER SHOULD PREVENT VISIBILITIES FROM DROPPING TOO LOW. THEY
SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MVFR RANGE.

EXPECT THE SAME CONDITIONS AGAIN TOMORROW WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. KIND OF
HARD TO TIME THEM RIGHT NOW AS IT WILL ALL DEPEND ON HOW QUICK THOSE
LOW CLOUDS WILL LIFT.
