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 Jul 1, 3:25 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 3:25 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
325 PM CDT SUN JUL 1 2012

.DISCUSSION...

WE'VE GOT RAIN! OR...AT LEAST A FEW SPOTS NOW HAVE RAIN. CORFIDI
VECTORS SUGGEST THE PREFERRED DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT WOULD BE
SLOWLY TO THE NORTH...ALTHOUGH OUTFLOW INTERACTION COULD VERY WELL
CAUSE SOME ERRATIC STORM MOVEMENT AND PROPAGATION. POPS TONIGHT
WILL BE A LAST MINUTE DECISION...BASED LARGELY ON RADAR TRENDS.
AND WHILE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT POPS...I WILL JUST GO AHEAD AND
MENTION THAT WE WILL KEEP THE NEAR/JUST BELOW CLIMO POPS FOR THE
REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. STILL NOTHING SYNOPTICALLY EVIDENT IN
THE MODELS TO PLACE ANY AMOUNT OF CONFIDENCE IN A HIGHER CHANCE OF
RAIN.

WE NOW TURN OUR ATTENTION BACK TO THE TEMPERATURES...WHICH HAVE
DOMINATED OUR WEATHER STORY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. LOOKS LIKE YESTERDAY
AND TODAY WERE THE PEAK DAYS FOR THE HEAT. BUT HAVING SAID
THAT...TEMPS DON'T EXACTLY BACK OFF ALL THAT MUCH...AND THE
SLIGHTLY HIGHER DEWPOINTS WILL LEAD TO SIMILAR HEAT INDEX VALUES
ON MONDAY. THUS...WE WILL GO BACK TO A HEAT ADVISORY THAT WILL
BEGIN WHEN THE CURRENT EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING EXPIRES AT 9
PM...AND TAKE IT THROUGH 9 PM MONDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE WE CAN SHAVE A
COUPLE MORE DEGREES OFF THOSE TEMPS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

/61/

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

HAZE AND ISOLD TSTMS WILL BE THE MAIN AVIATION HAZARDS THIS FORECAST
PERIOD. A WEAK SFC TROF BETWEEN KEET AND KMGM WILL LIKELY BE THE
FOCUS FOR ISOLD TSTMS FROM 20Z THRU 02Z. CONFIDENCE NOT ENOUGH FOR
INCLUSION OF TSTMS AT ANY TAF SITE.  HAZE WILL SETTLE OVER THE AREA
AGAIN TONIGHT WITH MVFR VSBYS FROM 10Z THRU 14Z.
