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 26, 3:32 PM CDT, 1 hour 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 3:32 PM CDT, 1 hour 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
332 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011

.DISCUSSION...

UNLIKE YESTERDAY...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX FEATURE (MCS) NOT
HAVING TROUBLE TRAVERSING SOUTHWARD INTO ALABAMA. DIFFERENCE IN
TODAY AND YESTERDAY IS PARTIALLY DO TO A BOUNDARY FROM AN EARLIER
MCS FEATURE WHICH HAS HELPED TO ENHANCE THIS APPROACHING FEATURE
AS THE 2ND ONE MOVES SOUTHWARD INTO OUR AREA. ACROSS CENTRAL
ALABAMA...WE HAD LITTLE CLOUD COVER FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE
MORNING WITH HEALTHY CUMULUS FIELDS DEVELOPING AS WE HEATED UP IN
THE LATE MORNING TOWARD MIDDAY. THIS WAS NOT A GOOD THING. IT HAS
ONLY HELPED TO DESTABILIZE US AND FUEL THE APPROACHING LINE.
THUS...THE CURRENT SEVERE WATCH...AND WARNINGS WITH THE
APPROACHING LINE. THIS IS NOT TO MENTION WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION
POPPING UP ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA AHEAD OF IT WITH HEATING.

UPPER SHORTWAVE FEATURE SHOULD MAKE ITS WAY ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH THE EVENING AROUND THE EAST/NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE
ELONGATED FLAT UPPER RIDGE STRETCHING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE U.S. WILL STILL HAVE A CHANCE MONDAY FOR MCS ACTIVITY BUT FLOW
LOOKS A TAD DIFFERENT WHERE MAIN FEATURE MAY MISS US TO THE NORTH
AND EAST. HOWEVER...ISOLATED HEAT INDUCED ACTIVITY ALONG THE EAST
PART OF THE AREA AROUND THE RIDGE STILL VERY MUCH A POSSIBILITY.

FOR TUESDAY...MODELS SHOWING SOME CONSISTENCY FROM EARLIER
INDICATING A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES REGION INTO NEW ENGLAND...ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A SURFACE WEAK
FRONT INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA. NOT ANTICIPATING A BIG COOL DOWN BY
ANY MEANS...BUT WILL GIVE MORE OF A SYNOPTIC FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FOR TUESDAY. GFS STILL A TAD MORE AGGRESSIVE
TAKING THE FRONT A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTHEAST BEFORE STALLING WHILE
EURO MEANDERS IT INTO THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE. BOTH
INDICATE THE POSSIBILITY OF INCREASED POPS...SOME DRIER AIR
FILTERING IN FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY ACROSS THE NORTH
ESPECIALLY...AND MAYBE SOME NOT AS HOT AND NOT AS HUMID TEMPERATURES
FOR WEDNESDAY AND SLIGHTLY COOLER OVERNIGHT WED/THU. THIS WOULD
HELP HEAT INDICES FOR MID WEEK WHICH HAVE BEEN INCHING UP.

BY THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND THE UPPER RIDGE
AMPLIFIES GREATLY AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO NEW ENGLAND/NOVA
SCOTIA. IN ADDITION...THE SURFACE RIDGE WEAKENS ALLOWING FOR WEAK
EASTERLY AND ONSHORE FLOW TO ENTER BACK. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
ISOLATED HEAT INDUCED ACTIVITY AND INCREASING HUMIDITIES...A
RETURN TO TYPICAL SUMMER.

08/MNK

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER STORMS IN TENNESSEE HAS PUSHED INTO
NORTHERN ALABAMA...AND ANOTHER BATCH OF STORMS HAS DEVELOPED IN THE
WESTERN HALF OF TENNESSEE. CONDITIONS IN CENTRAL ALABAMA ARE QUITE
UNSTABLE...AND THERE IS GROWING CONFIDENCE THAT THE CURRENT AREA OF
STORMS WILL RIDE ALONG THE PREVIOUS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND EXPAND IN
COVERAGE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS IT PUSHES SOUTH. THUS...I HAVE
ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO TRY TO TIME THE STORMS' ARRIVAL INTO BHM...
TCL...EET...AND ANB...AS INDICATED BY THE VCTS IN THE FORECAST. IF
THE STORMS DO CONTINUE TO MOVE AND DEVELOP SOUTHWARD...AND
CONFIDENCE GROWS EVEN MORE...THEN WE WILL UPDATE THE RESPECTIVE TAFS
TO GET EVEN MORE SPECIFIC ON AFFECTS AND TIMING.

OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORM AREAS CONDITIONS WILL BE PREDOMINANTLY
VFR...WITH CUMULUS LEVEL CLOUDS DISSIPATING AFTER DARK AND REFORMING
AFTER SUNRISE MONDAY. ANY LOCATIONS THAT GET SUBSTANTIAL RAIN THIS
AFTERNOON OR EVENING WILL HAVE AN INCREASED CHANCE OF FOG FORMATION
EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

/61/

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.
