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 Feb 10, 5:45 PM CST, 1 hour 59 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 10, 5:45 PM CST, 1 hour 59 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
545 PM CST SUN FEB 10 2013

.UPDATE...
FOR 00Z AVIATION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

SQUALL LINE HAS ACCELERATED WELL NORTH AND EAST OF THE INSTABILITY
AXIS AND HAS CROSSED EAST OF INTERSTATE 65 AT ALL SPOTS EXCEPT SOUTH
OF CLANTON. THE BACK END OF THE SQUALL IS HANGING UP IN A MORE WEST
TO EAST FASHION. THE SURFACE WARM FRONT WAS JUST ENTERING FAR
SOUTHWEST PARTS OF CENTRAL ALABAMA NEAR LINDEN AND THE COLD FRONT
WAS WELL WEST ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. NUMEROUS DISCRETE
CELLS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE WARM SECTOR IN SOUTHERN LOUISIANA AND
MISSISSIPPI. THE OVERALL QUESTION REMAINS...HOW WILL THIS SQUALL
LINE INTERFERE WITH THE INSTABILITY TRYING TO MOVE NORTHWARD IN THE
WARM SECTOR.

WELL...DO NOT THINK THAT THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE ABLE TO RECOVER
BEHIND THE SQUALL LINE AND HAVE REMOVED SEVERE WORDING WEST. THE
BEST TORNADO THREAT REMAINS FROM NEAR LINDEN AND DEMOPOLIS EASTWARD
TO NEAR OPELIKA AND AREAS SOUTH. THE SQUALL LINE AND ITS STABILIZED
CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY SINK SOUTHWARD THE FEW HOURS AND MAY EVEN CUT
OFF OUR REMAINING THREAT AREA. WITH THAT SAID...THERE STILL IS A
MARGINAL THREAT OF A SEVERE STORM OR TORNADO THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

LOOKING UPSTREAM...IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT A STRONG ENOUGH UPPER
FEATURE WILL BE ABLE TO GENERATE THE SOUTHERLY FLOW NECESSARY TO
CHANGE THESE BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS NORTH. THEREFORE...POTENTIAL
CHANGES IN THE SEVERE OUTLOOK WILL BE MONITORED FOR CHANGES BY 7 PM.

AS FAR AS THE FLOODING THREAT GOES...SEVERAL LOCATIONS RECEIVED 1 TO
2 INCHES OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD...BUT THE AMOUNT WAS NOT HIGH
ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ANY SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS. BUT RAIN IS ANTICIPATED
OVERNIGHT FOR A LARGE PART OF CENTRAL ALABAMA...SO LET THE WATCH
CONTINUE AND EXPANDED IT SOUTHWARD. MORE RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED
THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER POTENT SYSTEM MOVES OVERHEAD.
SEVERE WEATHER DOES NOT LOOK POSSIBLE BUT MORE HEAVY RAIN DOES.

THE EXTENDED FORECAST IS STILL FLIP FLOPPING ON THE AVAILABLE
MOISTURE FOR THE WEEKEND SYSTEM AND HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE POPS OUT
FOR NOW.

75

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

ONGOING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST...IF
NOT ALL...OF THIS TAF CYCLE.  KBHM MAY LET UP FOR A LITTLE
WHILE...BUT EVERYONE ELSE WILL HOLD WITH RAIN/VCTS THROUGH A GOOD
PORTION OF THIS CYCLE.  THE MAJORITY OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE AT
KMGM/KTOI AS BOTH WILL SEE RA/TSRA UNTIL AT LEAST 14-15Z TOMORROW.
THROUGHOUT THIS EXCESSIVE RAIN...LOOK FOR FLUCTUATION FROM IFR TO
VFR AND BACK AGAIN...WITH LOWER CATEGORIES IN THE HEAVIER RAIN BANDS.

WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY VARIABLE AS WE DEAL WITH THE FRONT AND THE MANY
BOUNDARIES THAT ARE FLOATING AROUND CENTRAL ALABAMA.  THE MAIN FLOW
WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH...AND THEN WE WILL SWING TO THE WEST AND
NORTHWEST ONCE THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE STATE MONDAY MORNING.
