What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Aug 4, 12:53 AM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 12:53 AM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
1253 AM CDT THU AUG 4 2011

.UPDATE...
FOR AVIATION.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

CLUSTER OF DECAYING STRONG STORMS WILL MOVE INTO THE NORTHEAST
CENTRAL ALABAMA COUNTIES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS (IE.
BHM/ANB). NOT CONFIDENT THAT STORMS WILL MAKE IT TO EET AS THEY
ARE DECREASING RAPIDLY WITH OUTFLOW OUTRUNNING STORMS TO THE
SOUTH. HOWEVER...STRONG ENOUGH STILL TO SEE SOME GUSTS INITIALLY.
HOWEVER...WILL BE WATCHING FOR POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS AT EET
DEPENDING ON TSTORM EVOLUTION. ACROSS FAR WEST AND SOUTH...SHOULD
HOLD OFF UNTIL DURING THE DAY FOR TSTORMS. STILL LOOKING AT SOME
BR ACROSS WEST AND SOUTH. HOWEVER...RAIN/CLOUD COVER MAY AFFECT ANB
LATER. DID NOT CHANGE STORM TIMING FOR THURSDAY DAY WITH CONTINUED
STAIR STEPPED INTRO OF VCTS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH WITH APPROACH OF
FRONT AND INCREASED MOISTURE AND CONVECTION DEVELOPING AHEAD OF
IT.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 959 PM CDT WED AUG 3 2011/

UPDATE...
EVENING FORECAST.

DISCUSSION...

A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL ACROSS CENTRAL
ALABAMA. TEMPERATURES REMAIN VERY WARM THIS EVENING AS THEY STILL
RANGE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S WITH BIRMINGHAM STILL HOVERING
AROUND 90 DEGREES IN THE LAST HOUR. WITH DEW POINTS RANGING IN THE
LOWER TO UPPER 70S...EXPECT FOR TEMPERATURES TO FEEL MUCH WARMER
AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH NO RELIEF IN SIGHT.

WEATHER WISE...WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR A WEAK SURFACE FRONT ACROSS
MID TENNESSEE WHICH IS CURRENTLY PRODUCING SOME VERY STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE A SLOW SOUTHWARD
MOVEMENT TONIGHT AND THERE IS A SMALL POTENTIAL THAT SOME STORMS
COULD REACH THE EXTREME NORTHERN ZONES AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
WILL LEAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS IN THE FORECAST AS A RESULT.

UPDATED FORECAST WILL BE SENT SHORTLY.

10/ARM

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 253 PM CDT WED AUG 3 2011/

DISCUSSION...

AS WE LOOK AT THE AFTERNOON OBSERVATIONS...VISIBLE AND STATION
OBS... SEVERAL FEATURES CAN BE SEEN. THE FIRST AND MORE PREVALENT
BEING A MESO HIGH OVER CENTRAL ALABAMA. THIS CAN BE SEEN USING THE
WIND FIELDS. THIS IS ALSO HELPING TO MIX OUT DEW POINTS KEEPING HEAT
INDICES SOMEWHAT LOWER. IT IS ALSO HELPING TO LIMIT THE CU FIELD
AND THEREFORE RAIN CHANCES. THE SECOND FEATURE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF
A MCS TO THE NORTH IN EASTERN KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA. WE WILL BE
WATCHING THIS FEATURE SLIDE SOUTH CLOSER TOWARD CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS
EVENING. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THIS WILL WORK INTO THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA TONIGHT... SO RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE TO BE IN
THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT. THIS FEATURE WILL MORE THAN LIKELY PLAY A
BIGGER ROLE TOMORROW IN REGARDS TO HIGH TEMPERATURES AND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES. STILL EXPECT TO SEE NEARING THE TRIPLE DIGITS
FOR THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS LOWER
CONCERNING THE HIGHS IN THE EAST. WOULD LOWER TEMPERATURES A LITTLE
MORE...BUT AS WE ARE ALREADY SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW MOS GUIDANCE...DONT
WANT TO REDUCE IT EVEN MORE. IF THE BOUNDARY/MCS MAKES IT THIS FAR
SOUTH...EXPECT TO SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
TOMORROW AFTERNOON. GIVEN THIS UNCERTAINTY WILL CONTINUE WITH HEAT
ADVISORY THROUGH FRIDAY 00Z. NUMBERS MAY BE CLOSE FOR AN EXCESSIVE
HEAT WARNING...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT EVEN A
WATCH AT THIS TIME...AS MODELS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME WITH THE MIXING
IN THE AFTERNOON.

THE SAME CAN BE SAID THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO
MOVE TO THE WEST...ALLOWING SEVERAL DISTURBANCES TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA AROUND THE HIGH. MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT AS TO
CONVECTION DURING THE AFTERNOON EACH DAY. PRECIPITATION AND CLOUD
COVER LOOK TO KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM REACHING THE TRIPLE DIGITS.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE EXTREMELY DEPENDENT ON THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD
COVER AND STORMS ACROSS THE AREA.

AS WE MOVE INTO THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK...WE MAY SEE SOME DRIER AIR
WORK INTO THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...LIMITING THE RAIN
CHANCES TO THE SOUTH. THIS WOULD ALSO ALLOW THE AREA TO TREND COOLER
THROUGH MIDWEEK.
