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 Jun 12, 3:37 PM CDT, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 3:37 PM CDT, 1 hour 18 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
337 PM CDT FRI JUN 12 2009

.DISCUSSION...
VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND
OBVIOUSLY CURRENTLY WATCHING UPSTREAM CONVECTION MOVING THROUGH
ARKANSAS MAKING A BEE LINE FOR CENTRAL ALABAMA. CONVECTIVE
PARAMETERIZATION FAILURES IN THE MODELS MAKE THEM PRETTY MUCH
USELESS FOR POP PURPOSES MOST OF THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WILL GO
SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE MOS POPS TONIGHT...AND INCLUDE ENHANCED
DAMAGING WIND ELEMENTS IN THE FORECAST. LOOKS LIKE THE UPSTREAM
BOW WILL MAKE IT INTO AT LEAST WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA...IF NOT
COMPLETELY ACROSS THE STATE.

REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST WAS LARGELY SEAT OF MY PANTS...SINCE MOS
POPS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED. LOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE IN THE POTENTIAL
FIRING LINE FOR ADDITIONAL MCS CLUSTERS THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY.
AFTER THAT...WILL TREND THINGS MORE TOWARD CLIMATOLOGY BLENDED
WITH THE ANTICIPATED AFFECTS OF AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE (SLIGHTLY
LESS CONVECTION AND HIGHER TEMPS).

/61/

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

SCT-BKN CUMULUS WILL DOMINATE SKY CONDS THRU 01Z.  TSTMS WILL
INCREASE IN COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA.
OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. AN MCS OVER
ARKANSAS WILL TRACK SOUTHEAST AND COULD AFFECT WEST ALABAMA BETWEEN
01Z AND 05Z.  HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS TO LOW AT THIS TIME TO INCLUDE
TSTMS IN TAFS.
