The facts

Issued: Jun 16, 2009, 12:33 AM CDT (05:33 UTC)
Expired: Jun 16, 2009, 1:03 AM CDT

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Birmingham, AL (KBMX), launched 00:00Z, 5.6 hours before the alert went out and 155 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 12:04 AM CDT, 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
1204 AM CDT TUE JUN 16 2009

.UPDATE...AVIATION UPDATE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...QUASI LINEAR MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM STARTING TO
DEVELOP JUST NORTHEAST OF MEMPHIS TENNESSEE EARLY THIS EVENING.
BRN SHEAR IS RESPECTABLE ACROSS TENNESSEE BUT DROPS OFF AS YOU
MOVE INTO NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA. EXPECT THE SHEAR TO BECOME
FAVORABLE FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION INTO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
BIRMINGHAM COUNTY WARNING AREA AFTER 7 PM. THE NEAR SURFACE WIND
FLOW IS RATHER WEAK BUT WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE EVENING.
YOU CAN SEE SOME INCREASED FLOW OFF THE GWX RADAR AS SOME
STREETS ARE APPEARING. THE BEST BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE APPEARS TO BE ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...JUST NORTH
OF OUR AREA. BUT AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES...THE MID LEVEL WINDS
WILL SHIFT MORE TOWARD THE NORTHWEST. ADDITIONALLY...THE ORGANIZED
STORMS MAY PRODUCE AND OUTFLOW A BIT FARTHER SOUTH WHICH MAY ACT
AS A FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THEREFORE...THE
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WAS EXTENDED DOWN TO THE NORTHERN
BIRMINGHAM METRO. MEAN LAYER CAPE VALUES SOUTH OF THIS DEVELOPING
SYSTEM ARE IN THE 3000 RANGE WITH LIS LESS THAN -6.
THEREFORE...THERE IS PLENTY OF JUICE FOR THE STORMS TO FEED
ON...INSTABILITY. THE AREA OF STORMS SHOULD APPROACH THE NORTHERN
FRINGES OF THE AREA BY AROUND 7 PM...THEN LASTING UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
THE -10 TO -30 C CAPE VALUE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF SOME HAIL...BUT THE
MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. STAY TUNED IF
YOU ARE IN OR NEAR THE WATCH AREA THIS EVENING.

75

&&

.AVIATION...06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

MAIN CLUSTER OF STORMS LOOKS LIKE IT WILL MISS THE SOUTHERN TAFS.
HOWEVER...A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS OR STORMS COULD STILL MOVE NEAR OR
OVER THE SITE. PATCHY FOG IS POSSIBLE LATER TONIGHT CLOSER TO
SUNRISE. VISIBILITIES COULD APPROACH IFR IN SOME LOCATIONS. AFTER
15Z...IT LOOKS DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT LEAST FOR MOST OF THE
DAY. IT WILL ALL DEPEND IF ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE
AREA. HOPEFULLY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL
KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ALL THE TAF SITES.
