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 17, 6:29 AM CDT, 5 hours 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 6:29 AM CDT, 5 hours 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
629 AM CDT FRI JUN 17 2011

.UPDATE...FOR 12Z AVIATION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

WHAT'S LEFT OF THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION IS QUICKLY DIMINISHING AS
IT PUSHES EWD ACROSS THE NE PART OF THE STATE. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SCATTERED TSTMS IS EXPECTED LATER TODAY AS YET ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE SLIDES SEWD ACROSS THE AREA. DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY
WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER...HOWEVER STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL
HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. AS WAS THE CASE
THE LAST FEW NIGHTS...SOME OF STORMS COULD LINGER THRU THE EVNG
HRS AS NEW CONVECTION DEVELOPS ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES.

THE UPPER RIDGE WILL REALLY BEGIN TO BUILD EWD INTO THE REGION
OVER THE WEEKEND. A FEW STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON SAT...MAINLY
ACROSS THE EAST...SO KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN FOR THAT AREA. BY
SUNDAY...RAIN CHANCES SHOULD COME TO AN END AS THE RIDGE TAKES
CONTROL OF THE WEATHER PATTERN. DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THRU
EARLY NEXT WEEK AND TEMPS WILL WARM SLIGHTLY. COULD SEE SEVERAL
100 DEGREE READINGS ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE PERIOD.

FOR WED THRU FRI...MODELS ARE STILL HINTING AT A RATHER WET
PATTERN FOR CENTRAL ALABAMA AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED SFC FRONT PUSH EASTWARD TOWARD THE AREA PULLING AMPLE GULF
MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. LET'S KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT THE
MODELS ARE ON TO SOMETHING BECAUSE WE DESPERATELY NEED THE RAIN.
THE CLOUDINESS AND RAINFALL WOULD ALSO OFFER A BRIEF REPRIEVE FROM
THE HEAT AS THEY SHOULD KEEP HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S.

19

&&

.AVIATION...12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

LINGERING BOUNDARIES AND SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS AREA TODAY WILL
BRING A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS ONCE AGAIN. CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IN
WRN TN MAY ALSO HELP TO TRIGGER CONVECTION LATER TODAY...WITH SOME
SHOWERS ALREADY SPREADING SOUTHEAST INTO EXTREME NW AL IN ADVANCE OF
IT.  WILL INCLUDE VCSH AT FOUR NORTHERN TAF SITES EARLY THIS MORNING
BUT BELIEVE MAIN TSRA TIME FRAME WILL BE FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON DURING PEAK HEATING.  WILL CARRY VCTS AT ALL TAF SITES
AFTER 16Z...BUT WILL NOT INCLUDE TEMPO GROUPS SINCE CONFIDENCE IN
TIMING/PLACEMENT IS LOW.  AFTER 00Z CONVECTION SHOULD QUICKLY
DIMINISH AS SHORTWAVE TROUGH DEPARTS AND WE LOSE DAYTIME
HEATING...WITH MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.  COULD BE SOME PATCHY BR AFTER 09Z ESPECIALLY IN
AREAS THAT RECEIVE RAINFALL LATER TODAY.  WINDS GENERALLY FROM THE
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST TODAY AVERAGING LESS THAN 10 KNOTS.

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.

.BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
