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 21, 6:45 AM CDT, 2 hours 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 21, 6:45 AM CDT, 2 hours 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
645 AM CDT MON SEP 21 2009

.UPDATE...AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

OVERALL PATTERN HAS CHANGED VERY LITTLE. CURRENTLY WATCHING A
SHORTWAVE SWING THROUGH THE AREA. RAINFALL WITH THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAS BEEN VERY HEAVY...WITH TOTALS OF 1 TO 5 INCHES
FROM CARROLLTON TO CALERA...TO ALEXANDER CITY. THESE SHOWERS WILL
CONTINUE GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE I-59 CORRIDOR...WITH THE
HEAVIEST ACTIVITY SOUTH OF I-20 THROUGH THE MORNING.

ALREADY BEGINNING TO SEE ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING IN MISSISSIPPI...AS WELL AS ENHANCEMENT ACROSS LOUISIANA
AND WESTERN MISSISSIPPI ON WATER VAPOR. THIS WILL WORK INTO THE AREA
THIS MORNING AND GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...WHICH BODES WELL FOR THE FORECAST...BUT NOT FOR THE
OVERALL CONDITIONS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

FOR THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS WILL SEE SEVERAL LITTLE SHORTWAVES SLIDE
ALONG THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN EDGE OF AN UPPER LOW THAT WILL SWING
CLOSER TO CENTRAL ALABAMA...BEFORE RETROGRADING BACK TO THE WEST.
THAT WILL PLACE OUR HIGHEST POPS IN THE FIRST 3 TO 5 PERIODS...AS WE
REMAIN IN A SOUTHWESTERN FLOW AND PLENTY OF GULF MOISTURE TO WORK
WITH. WILL BE EXPANDING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH OUT THROUGH MIDNIGHT
FOR THE ENTIRE AREA.

ONCE THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO RETROGRADE...ACTIVITY WILL BECOME A
LITTLE MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE AS WELL AS DIURNAL FOR THE MOST
PART. HOWEVER WE DO REMAIN IN THE SOUTHWESTERN FLOW...SO WHAT RAIN
DOES FALL WILL BE HEAVY AND COULD CONTINUE TO ACCENTUATE THE
ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED
MODELS ARE STILL HINTING AT A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
NORTH INTO AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...DO NOT EXPECT
THIS TO TOTALLY SHUT OFF THE WATERWORKS...BUT WILL DECREASE TO LOW
CHANCE POPS BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

LOOKING AT NEXT WEEKEND...MODELS ARE STILL INDICATING A PROGRESSIVE
PATTERN...AND TAKES THE UPPER TROUGH OUT OF THE HIGH PLAINS AND INTO
THE GREAT LAKES BY SUNDAY. THIS WOULD CONTINUE TO PROVED RAIN FOR
THE AREA...BUT IF THE LOW GETS KICKED OUT...WE COULD SEE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILD IN FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS OF SEPTEMBER. UNFORTUNATELY
STILL QUITE A BIT OF TIME BEFORE THEN...AND MODELS COULD CHANGE...SO
WE WILL MONITOR WITH INTEREST.

16

&&

.AVIATION...12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

NMRS SHWRS AND TSTMS CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTHEAST ACROSS THE I-20
CORRIDOR...AND THIS TREND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THRU 17Z. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL AFFECT SITES TCL...BHM...EET...ANB THRU AT LEAST 17Z.
THE MAIN HAZARDS WILL BE LOW VSBYS DUE TO HEAVY RAINFALL AND
LIGHTNING. THE OTHER CONCERN THIS MORNING IS LIFR CIGS AT KMGM AND
KTOI. THE CIGS WILL SLOWLY RISE AND BECOME MVFR BY 15Z. SHWRS AND
TSTMS SHOULD INCREASE IN AND NEAR MGM AND TOI AFTER 15Z DUE TO
DAYTIME HEATING.

THIS PATTERN IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PREDICT BEYOND SIX HOURS AND
FORECAST MAY NOT BE PESSIMISTIC ENOUGH AFTER 17Z.
