What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Sep 21, 11:00 AM CDT, 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 21, 11:00 AM CDT, 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...MESOSCALE UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 1100 AM CDT MON SEP 21 2009 .MESOSCALE UPDATE...THE MORNING HAS STARTED OFF WITH A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM SOUTHWEST OF CAMDEN TO SOUTH CENTRAL MOBILE COUNTY. WHILE HARD TO DISCERN ANY SUBSTANTIAL BOUNDARY...THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A WEAK SFC CONVERGENCE ZONE THAT HAS SETUP...WHICH IS ALIGNED WELL TO THE ACTIVITY SEEN ON RADAR. THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE PROLIFIC RAIN PRODUCERS...IN SOME CASES PRODUCING RAINFALL RATES OF 3 TO 4 INCHES AN HOUR WHICH HAS PROMPTED FLOOD ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS ALREADY THIS MORNING. THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED WITH PRECIPTABLE WATERS AT OR ABOVE 2 INCHES ACROSS THE AREA. EXPECT THE COVERAGE OF STORMS TO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AS A 70 KT JET OVER EAST CENTRAL TX NOSES INTO THE REGION...ENHANCING THE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ACROSS THE REGION. ANY STRONGER THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THE SAME EXCESSIVE 3 TO 4 INCH HOURLY RAINFALL RATES WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN TODAY. THIS COMBINED WITH LIKELY TRAINING OF STORMS IN A DEEP SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW REGIME WILL RESULT IN A THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING. WILL LEAVE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS IS SINCE IT IS PLACED IN AREA THAT HAS SEEN THE MOST EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. HOWEVER...LOCALIZED FLOODING IS STILL A CONCERN ELSEWHERE AS THE ENTIRE CWA HAS SEEN A GOOD DEAL OF RAIN OVER THE PAST WEEK OR SO. OVERALL FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND NO MAJOR UPDATES WILL BE REQUIRED. /JFB .AVIATION... 18Z TAF ISSUANCE... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AGAIN THIS AFTN WHICH WILL BRING CIGS/VSBYS TO THE MVFR/IFR RANGE AT TIMES. OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH A SCATTERED TO BROKEN VFR CU DECK ANTICIPATED THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION WILL TAPER OFF THIS EVENING...WITH LOW STRATUS AND FOG DEVELOPING PRIOR TO SUNRISE TUESDAY. ANOTHER DAY OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ANTICIPATED FOR TUESDAY. /JFB /PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ISSUED 630 AM CDT MON SEP 21 2009/ .SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...LATEST UPPER AIR MAP ANALYSIS SHOWS THE DEEP SOUTH INFLUENCED BY SOUTHWEST FLOW AS A TROF OF LOW PRESSURE ENCOMPASSES THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC WAS NOSING SOUTHWEST INTO THE SOUTHEAST AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO THROUGH TONIGHT. AN ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MOISTURE INDICATES PWAT 2.1 INCHES IN PLACE OVER THE FORECAST AREA. SATELLITE/RADAR TRENDS SHOWS THE COLDEST CLOUD TOPS/BETTER ORGANIZATION AND COVERAGES OF TSTMS WERE NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA...OVER CENTRAL ALABAMA AND NORTHERN GEORGIA. THIS IS WHERE THE HIGH LEVEL FLOW IS MORE DIFFLUENT AND LIFT IS MAXIMIZED. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE DAY...WE REMAIN ON THE FAVORED ACTIVE...EAST SIDE OF THE CENTRAL STATES TROF...WHERE MID LEVEL IMPULSES EJECT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION. THESE IMPULSES INTERACT WITH DEEP MOISTURE AND DESTABILIZATION...RESULTING IN AN INCREASED COVERAGE OF SHWRS/TSTMS DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY. WE CARRY NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD COVERAGES IN THE FIRST PERIOD. HEAVY RAINS=>LOCALIZED FLOODING OF LOWER LYING AREAS AND ACROSS POORLY DRAINED URBAN AREAS IS QUITE POSSIBLE. WILL NEED TO MONITOR CLOSELY THOSE AREAS THAT MAY SEE TRAINING OF TSTMS. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE SHOW SOME OF OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES ONLY NEED 2 TO 2.3 INCHES OF RAIN IN A 1 HOUR TIME TO CREATE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR PRECIPITATION ESTIMATES ALONG WITH SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT 4 TO 8 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN OVER PORTIONS OF THE INTERIOR OF SOUTHWEST ALABAMA OVER THE LAST SEVEN DAYS. DUE TO THIS RAINFALL...ANTECEDENT SOIL MOISTURE IS HIGH AND ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COULD RESULT IN NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES OF FLOODING OVER LOWER LYING ROADS AND ACROSS AREAS THAT NORMALLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH DRAINAGE OF STORM WATER DURING HEAVY RAIN EPISODES. FORECASTERS FEEL THIS THREAT WILL BE ACROSS CHOCTAW...WASHINGTON...CLARKE...WILCOX AND MONROE COS SO AS TO GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. THIS WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM 21.15Z TO 22.03Z. THE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...CONTAINING DAMAGING WINDS IS MINIMAL. LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES. /10 TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A 500 MILLIBAR HIGH PRESSURE AREA WILL DRIFT OVER THE FORECAST AREA. NORMALLY THE CHANCE OF CONVECTION WOULD BE LIMITED WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD...BUT THE LOW LEVEL FLOW IS EAST TO NORTHEAST AND QUITE MOIST WITH PRECIPTABLE WATER VALUES UP OVER TWO INCHES. WE DO HAVE LOWER POPS FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BUT STILL IN THE 30 TO 40 PERCENT RANGE AND WITH STEERING WINDS ON THE LIGHT SIDE AS THE UPPER HIGH ARRIVES...COULD BE SOME ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN. HEAT INDICES WILL BE UP BETWEEN 95 AND 100 FROM LATE MORNING INTO MID AFTERNOON EXCEPT IN AREAS WHERE RAIN BRINGS A BRIEF BREAK. A COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE APPROACHING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INTO THE UPPER HIGH. THE HIGHER PRECIPITATION CHANCES ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE OVER THE WESTERN COUNTIES CLOSER TO THE DECAYING FRONT. /11 .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY) WHATS LEFT OF THE WEDNESDAY COLD FRONT SHOULD BE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BY SATURDAY. THE FRONT WILL BE LITTLE MORE THAN A CONVERGENCE ZONE BY LATE WEEK...BRINGING A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. FRIDAY MAY TURN OUT TO BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK WITH THE DISSIPATING FRONT JUST TO THE WEST. CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE A BIT ON SATURDAY WITH THE UPPER HIGH SLIPPING SOUTH AND SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW KEEPING THE DEEP MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA. /11 && .MARINE......HIGH PRESSURE NOSES SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF THIS WEEK. WILL ALSO BE WATCHING AN EASTERLY WAVE PASSING WEST ACROSS THE GULF AS WELL. A LIGHT SOUTHEAST FLOW EARLY IN THE WEEK...BECOMES MORE EAST AND NORTHEAST MID TO LATE WEEK. SEAS 2 FEET...POSSIBLY 3 FEET WELL OFFSHORE WHERE THE NORTHEAST FETCH BECOMES ESTABLISHED. MARINERS WILL HAVE TO PLAN FOR SHWRS/TSTMS. /10 && .FIRE WEATHER...NOT A LOT TO SAY HERE...HOT AND HUMID WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MORE NUMEROUS IN THE LATE MORNINGS AND AFTERNOONS. NO LOW HUMIDITY IN SIGHT. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTH TO NORTHEASTERLY...OCCASIONALLY EAST TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES...HIGH IN THE ATMOSPHERE...INTERACTS WITH A TROPICAL AIR MASS THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR DAYS. CONSIDERING THIS ALONG WITH DAYTIME INSTABILITY...AN INCREASED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS ANTICIPATED. DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR PRECIPITATION ESTIMATES ALONG WITH SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT 4 TO 8 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN OVER PORTIONS OF THE INTERIOR OF SOUTHWEST ALABAMA OVER THE LAST SEVEN DAYS. DUE TO THIS RAINFALL...SOIL MOISTURE IS HIGH. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COULD RESULT IN NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES OF FLOODING OVER LOWER LYING ROADS AND ACROSS AREAS THAT NORMALLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH DRAINAGE OF STORM WATER...DURING HEAVY RAIN EPISODES. IN FACT...FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE SHOW THAT THE INTERIOR SOUTHWEST ALABAMA COUNTIES ONLY NEED 2 TO 2.3 INCHES OF RAIN IN A ONE HOUR TIME TO CREATE POTENTIAL WIDESPREAD FLOODING PROBLEMS. GIVEN THIS POTENTIAL TODAY AND THE RAINS THAT HAVE ALREADY FALLEN...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR CHOCTAW...WASHINGTON...CLARKE...MONROE AND WILCOX COUNTIES. THE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...CONTAINING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...IS MINIMAL IN THE NEAR TERM. DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE...MAINLY EARLY MORNINGS TO EARLY EVENINGS. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEK...THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP COULD MOVE SLOWER...RESULTING IN ISOLATED POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN. THE RISK REMAINS FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS...BOTH IN RURAL AND URBAN SETTINGS. THE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...CONTAINING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS....IS MINIMAL DURING THE OUTLOOK. SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS AND SPOTTER NETWORKS FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE REQUIRED. HOWEVER...SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO RELAY ANY REPORTS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND OR FLOODING TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOBILE.
