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 May 13, 3:32 PM CDT, 1 hour 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 13, 3:32 PM CDT, 1 hour 42 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
332 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.

A VERY COMPLEX FORECAST TONIGHT DUE TO RAIN COOLED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
WHICH HAS PUSHED THROUGH CENTRAL ALABAMA. THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WAS
LOCATED JUST NORTH OF SELMA AND ALEXANDER CITY AT 3 PM. TEMPERATURES
ARE IN THE 60S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...CREATING
VERY STABLE LOW LEVEL CONDTIIONS ACROSS MOST OF THE NORTHERN HALF
OF CENTRAL ALABAMA. A VERY DEEP CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER MISSOURI
WITH AN ATTENDANT SURFACE COLD FRONT NEAR THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
OVERNIGHT ACROSS ALABAMA. AT THIS POINT...IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT
THE AIR MASS WILL RECOVER IN TIME FOR THE LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE
STORMS. AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM STILL POSSIBLE DUE TO THE
STRENGTH OF THE UPPER LEVEL FORCING AND COLD AIR ALOFT. SEVERE
STORMS ARE DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...BUT AIR MASS IN
THIS REGION IS MUCH MORE UNSTABLE THAN AIR MASS OVER ALABAMA...
SO STORMS WILL LIKELY WEAKEN AS THEY TRACK EASTWARD INTO WEST
ALABAMA.

MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING TOWARDS A FASTER MOVING COLD FRONT WHICH
MEANS STORMS SHOULD BE EAST OF ALABAMA BY SUNRISE SATURDAY. THE STORM
PREDICTION CENTER HAS REMOVED THE SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS FOR
EAST ALABAMA. EARLY MORNING ACTIVITY WILL BE MOSTLY EAST OF I-65
BY SUNRISE SATURDAY AND THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE MOSTLY INTO GEORGIA
BY 9 AM. A VERY NICE DAY ON TAP FOR SATURDAY AND DRIER AND COOLER
AIR MOVES IN BEHIND EXITING UPPER LEVEL TROF AXIS. THE UPPER LOW
WILL MEANDER AROUND THE OHIO VALLEY REGION ON SUNDAY AND THE RAIN
ASSOCIATED NEAR THE UPPER LOW SHOULD STAY NORTH OF THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

A STRONG VORT LOBE ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LOW WILL ROTATE AROUND
BASE OF UPPER LOW AND PUSH MUCH COOLER AIR SOUTHWARD INTO ALABAMA
ON MONDAY. THERE IS ALSO ENOUGH MOISTURE WITH THE SHORT WAVE TROF
TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS. WITH THE CORE OF THE UPPER LOW
PASSING TO THE EAST OF ALABAMA...THE INSTABILITY IS NOT AS HIGH AS
PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS...AND POTENTIAL FOR ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS
LOOKS VERY MINIMAL AT THIS TIME...AND REMOVED THEM FOR THE
FORECAST ON MONDAY. THE SHORT WAVE TROF WILL PASS THOUGH THE AREA
QUICKLY WITH THE PRECIPITATION MOVING OUT OF THE AREA MONDAY EVENING.
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY AS AREA REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER LOW
ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST. A SHORT WAVE TROF OVER THE SOUTHWEST
STATES WILL BRING MODERATING TEMPERATURES AND SOME HIGH CLOUDS
INTO ALABAMA ON THURSDAY. THE SHORT WAVE TROF WILL EJECT INTO THE
PLAINS STATES BY FRIDAY AND COULD BRING SOME CONVECTION INTO
ALABAMA ON FRIDAY.

58/ROSE

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH NORTHERN ALABAMA THIS
AFTERNOON. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON FROM TCL TO ANB. THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL
IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE DIMINISHING NEAR 00Z. VARIABLE GUSTY
WINDS WITH INTERMITTENT MVFR CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
THROUGH 23/00Z.

FARTHER SOUTH...NO ISSUES YET FOR MGM AND TOI. RADAR IS SHOWING
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI
AND THESE STORMS SHOULD MOVE IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF MGM AND
TOI OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT ACROSS CENTRAL
ALABAMA AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE PASSES OVER THE SOUTHEAST. TIMING AND
COVERAGE OF THIS POTENTIAL WILL NEED TO BE RE-EVALUATED AS
CONFIDENCE IS BELOW AVERAGE BEYOND 06Z.

NOTICE...KEET TAF WILL HAVE (AMD LTD TO VIS WIND AND WX) AMENDED TO
THE END OF THE FORECAST UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THE CEILOMETER DATA
WILL BE GOING THROUGH NUMEROUS TESTS AND MONITORED FOR ACCURACY.
