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 Apr 5, 1:00 PM CDT, 4 hours 9 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 1:00 PM CDT, 4 hours 9 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
100 PM CDT THU APR 5 2012

.UPDATE...
FOR AVIATION AND FORECAST UPDATE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

UPDATING FORECAST TO REMOVE A FEW MORE WARNINGS FROM
WATCH...BIBB...PERRY AND MARENGO. OUT SHORTLY.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

MAIN UPDATES FOR THIS PACKAGE WILL BE CONTINUED TIMING WITH LINE
OF TSRA THAT IS MOVING ACROSS I65 CORRIDOR EASTWARD AS WE SPEAK.
SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE LINE/IE...MGM/TOI COULD SEE SMALL HAIL IF
STORM HOLD TOGETHER THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THIS LINE HAS DECREASED
SOME IN OVERALL INTENSITY AS IT HAS MOVED EWD. SOME GUSTY WINDS
ARE POSSIBLE BUT HAIL HAS BEEN THE MAIN STORY TODAY WITH STORMS.
THERE IS STILL THE POSSIBILITY OF A SECOND ROUND OF STRONG STORMS
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER LOW LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING...BUT AT THIS TIME THE PROBABILITY AT ONE SITE IS LOW SO
WILL NOT ADD INTO TAFS AT THIS TIME BUT IT WOULD MOSTLY LIKELY
AFFECT NORTHERN TAFS IF ANY AS THEY WILL BE CLOSER TO THE LOW.

08/MNK

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1227 PM CDT THU APR 5 2012/

DISCUSSION...

MCS/SQUALL LINE CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AND
SHOULD BE NEAR THE GEORGIA STATE LINE BETWEEN 3 TO 4 PM. SURFACE
HEATING AHEAD OF THE LINE SHOULD ALLOW IT STORMS TO CONTINUE TO BE
STRONG TO SEVERE AT TIMES. REMOVED SEVERAL COUNTIES FROM THE
WESTERN PART OF THE WATCH AS THE THREAT FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS HAS
ENDED. ADDED COUNTIES IN THE EAST AS THE LINE IS EXPECTED TO
MAINTAIN INTENSITY ACROSS THE STATE.

ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE NEAR THE UPPER
LOW IN NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI ALONG THE COLD FRONT. MID LEVEL DRY
SLOT AND CLEARING IS WORKING IN TO THE WESTERN PART OF ALABAMA AND
WILL ALLOW FOR SURFACE HEATING IN THE WAKE OF THE MCS. EXPECT
ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT THE NORTHWEST
PART OF THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND SPREAD SOUTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE COLD CORE UPPER
LOW. HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THESE STORMS AS 500 MB
TEMPS OF -17 TO -19 C MOVE OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE.
THESE STORMS MAY LAST UNTIL A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNSET BEFORE
WEAKENING.

DID NOT UPDATE MUCH OF THE FORECAST BEYOND THE TONIGHT PERIOD DUE
TO ONGOING WEATHER. A GLANCE AT THE 12Z GFS SHOWS NO MAJOR CHANGES
ARE NECESSARY FOR THE EXTENDED AS COOLER AND DRIER NORTHWEST FLOW
CONTINUES INTO NEXT WEEK.
