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 11, 7:00 PM CDT, 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 7:00 PM CDT, 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
700 PM CDT MON JUN 11 2012

.UPDATE...
AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

THE UPPER TROF WHICH HAS BROUGHT COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL TO
PORTIONS OF SOUTH ALABAMA THE PAST FEW DAYS...HAS FINALLY SHIFTED
FAR ENOUGH EAST TO PUSH THE DEEPER MOISTURE INTO GEORGIA. IN ITS
WAKE...ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED ACROSS
CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS AFTERNOON AND DRIER AND WARMER AIR MOVES IN
ALOFT. THE MAIN WEATHER PLAYER TONIGHT IS THE MCS CURRENTLY MOVING
INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE. THIS LINE OF CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO
TRACK SOUTHEAST AND REACH THE NORTHWEST TIP OF ALABAMA AROUND 5 PM.
THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS HAS ALREADY BEEN ADDED TO THE
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF CENTRAL
ALABAMA. IF THIS LINE HOLDS TOGETHER AS IT APPROACHES THE I-20
CORRIDOR...RAIN CHANCES WILL NEED RAISED FOR AREAS ALONG I-20 AND
AREAS SOUTHWARD.

TUESDAY CONTINUES TO BE A RATHER CHALLENGING DAY TO FORECAST. THE
MCS MOVING INTO ALABAMA THIS EVENING MAY HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON
WEATHER ON TUESDAY. THE MODELS ARE SHOWING A WEAK COLD FRONT
MOVING INTO NORTH ALABAMA ON LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT NOT SURE
THIS FEATURE WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO PRODUCE NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. ANOTHER MCS COULD DEVELOP FARTHER SOUTH AND
AFFECT THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST...BUT LOW LEVEL FLOW AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT IS WESTERLY...WHICH IS NOT CONDUCIVE FOR AN UPSTREAM
MCS. MOS GUIDANCE IS CARRYING 50-60 PERCENT POPS FOR TUESDAY...AND
WILL FORECAST LIKELY RAIN CHANCES FOR ALL COUNTIES.

THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SINK SOUTHWARD TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY AS MAIN SHORT WAVE TROF PUSHES OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST.
THIS FRONT WILL MOVE TO NEAR THE I-85 CORRIDOR...AND SMALL RAIN
CHANCES KEPT IN FOR THE EXTREME SOUTHERN COUNTIES. BY THURSDAY AN
EASTERLY WAVE WILL MOVE INTO GEORGIA AND BRING DEEPER MOISTURE
BACK INTO EAST ALABAMA...AND RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY
ACROSS EAST ALABAMA.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

BY FRIDAY A COOLER LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW WILL ESTABLISH ITSELF
ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. THERE IS NOT MUCH FORCING FOR CONVECTION
ON FRIDAY...BUT ENOUGH MOISTURE AVAILABLE FOR SMALL RAIN CHANCES.
AN UPPER RIDGE TO THE NORTH OF ALABAMA WILL PUSH SOUTHWARD AS A
SHORT WAVE TROF MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS WILL
PUSH DEEPER MOISTURE TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF AREA ALONG WITH
RISING UPPER HEIGHTS...AND BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW VERY LITTLE
IF ANY PRECIPITATION SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...AND REMOVED RAIN
CHANCES FOR THESE DAYS. A CONTINUED LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW SHOULD
KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL.

58/ROSE

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. HAVE TIMED OUT PROGRESSION AT
TCL...BHM...EET AND ANB. EXPECT AN HOUR OF SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND
REDUCED VIS...FOLLOWED BY A COUPLE HOURS OF RAIN. AHEAD OF THE
LINE...ISO TO SCT TS ARE POSSIBLE...AND MOST LIKELY TO AFFECT ANB
AND BHM. THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG WITH GUSTY WINDS. EXPECT THE
LINE OF TS TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...AND NOT
BE AS INTENSE WHEN AFFECTING MGM AND TOI. HAVE INCLUDED A PERIOD OF
SHOWERS THERE...AS CONFIDENCE IN THUNDER IS TOO LOW AT THIS TIME.

EXPECT FOG TO DEVELOP AS THIS SYSTEM QUICKLY PUSHES SOUTHWARD
TONIGHT...WITH VIS BEGINNING TO DROP AFTER 06Z. HOW FAR VIS DROP
WILL DEPEND ON WHETHER CIGS CLEAR AND HOW MUCH RAINFALL OCCURS. BOTH
OF THOSE ARE LOOKING FAVORABLE AT THIS TIME FOR FOG AREAWIDE. HAVE
INCLUDED 3-4SM AT NORTHERN TERMINALS AND 5SM AT MGM AND TOI. FOG
WILL LIFT AFTER SUNRISE. AS A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AREA
TOMORROW...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE.
DEPENDING ON FRONTAL TIMING...TS COULD BE LESS LIKELY ACROSS
NORTHERN TERMINALS.
