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, 3:39 AM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 3:39 AM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
339 AM CDT THU AUG 4 2011

.DISCUSSION...

THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX THAT DEVELOPED ALONG STATIONARY BOUNDARY IN
TENNESSEE OUTFLOWED SOUTHWARD INTO NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS
MORNING. THIS UNDOUBTEDLY WILL SET UP A SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY OVER
CENTRAL ALABAMA FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE
DAY AS TEMPERATURES HEAT UP AND THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES EVEN MORE
UNSTABLE. INITIAL STORM MOTION IS FROM THE NORTHWEST AND A GENERAL
NORTHERLY MOTION SHOULD CONTINUE TODAY...SO AS STORMS DEVELOP
UPSTREAM IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP SOUTHWARD WITH TIME. STORM SEVERITY IS SOMEWHAT
QUESTIONABLE AS THE CURRENT THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL HELP DICTATE
LATER CONVECTION BUT ADDITIONAL COLD POOL DRIVEN COMPLEXES WILL BE
POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY WITH SOME ISOLATED STRONG TO DAMAGING
WINDS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

WITH THE HIGHER RAIN CHANCES ALSO COMES THE LESS LIKELIHOOD OF
SEEING WIDESPREAD EXTREME TEMPERATURES. NOT TO SAY THAT IT WILL
NOT BE HOT AND STEAMY BECAUSE IT WILL...BUT ANY THOUGHTS OF AN
EXTREME HEAT WARNING ARE OUT THE WINDOW NOW. WILL LET THE HEAT
ADVISORY CONTINUE FOR THE TIME BEING AS IT IS ALREADY OUT BUT MAY
END UP CANCELING IT LATER THIS MORNING.

THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE UPPER RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
BECOMES INCREASINGLY FLATTENED WITH THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE
RETROGRADING TO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS
WILL ALLOW FOR AN EASTERN CONUS TROUGH TO DEVELOP AND BRING RAIN
CHANCES UP TO CLIMATOLOGICAL VALUES. BY MIDWEEK...A SYNOPTIC
BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO BE NEAR THE DEEP SOUTH AS THE UPPER TROUGH
OVER THE REGION DEEPENS. THUS WILL CONTINUE WITH AT LEAST
CLIMATOLOGICAL POPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS SHOULD RESPOND TO THE
WEAKENING RIDGE AND HIGHER RAIN CHANCES BY FALLING INTO THE LOWER
TO MID 90S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S.

&&

.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.
