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.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 11, 6:46 PM CDT, 20 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
646 PM CDT THU APR 11 2013

.UPDATE...AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FOCUS IN GRIDS WAS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY WITH
THIS SYSTEM...WITH NO MAJOR CHANGES IN THE REMAINDER OF THE
FORECAST WITH ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER. A SQUALL LINE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE FRONT IS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE WRN HALF OF THE CWA...
SPREADING STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA WITH IT. DISCRETE CELLS HAVE ALSO
DEVELOPED IN THE UNSTABLE AIR AHEAD OF THE LINE. LOW CLOUDS ERODED
DURING THE EARLY MORNING AND ALLOWED THE AREA TO HEAT UP INTO THE
MID 70S TO LOWER 80S AHEAD OF THE FRONT. CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO BE FUELED WELL PAST SUNSET WITH THE WARM
TEMPERATURES AND HIGH DEW POINTS. EXPECTING THE LINE TO BE THROUGH
THE WRN HALF BEFORE SUNSET AND THE ERN HALF BY MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER
SOME SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO LAG BEHIND
THE INITIAL LINE FOR A COUPLE HOURS BEHIND IT. GUSTY WINDS SHOULD
TAPER DOWN BEHIND THE RAIN AREA AS THE LINE PROGRESSES WITH MUCH
COOLER AIR MOVING BEHIND THE FRONT FOR FRI. HOWEVER...WITH BETTER
THICKNESS VALUES REMAINING WELL TO OUR N...OUR FRONT WILL NOT BE
USHERING IN VERY COLD TEMPERATURES BUT WILL BRING BACK MORE
SEASONAL READINGS FOR MID APRIL FOR FRI INTO SAT. BY SUN...THE
SURFACE RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AND MOVE INTO THE ATLANTIC
ALLOWING SRLY FLOW TO RETURN AND A MODERATING AIR MASS WITH 80S
RETURNING BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND. DIURNALLY INDUCED ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED RAIN CHANCES WILL RETURN BY SUNDAY ON THROUGH MID WEEK
AS SHORT WAVES MOVE THROUGH THE WEAK SW FLOW. EXTENDED MODELS
CONTINUE TO HINT AT ANOTHER FRONT BY THE END OF OUR EXTENDED BY
NEXT WED/THU. TIMING DIFFERENCES EXIST SO UNCERTAINTY REMAINS.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

PROBLEMATIC FORECAST IN TRYING TO TIME THE ARRIVAL OF THE LINE OF
STORMS IN THE EAST (ANB...MGM...AND TOI)...AND THE DEPARTURE OF THE
RAIN AND (EVENTUALLY) CLOUDS ELSEWHERE. AS THE STORMS WENT THROUGH
TCL...BHM...AND EET...VISIBILITES DROPPED DOWN TO 1/4SM...AND I HAVE
FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN SIMILAR CONDITIONS AS THE LINE MOVES
THROUGH THE EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN TERMINALS. THERE'S LESS CONFIDENCE
IN CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES BEHIND THE MAIN LINE OF STORMS...AS
WELL AS THE TIMING OF IMPROVED CEILINGS OVERNIGHT OR EARLY FRIDAY.
WINDS WILL PICK UP AND CONDITIONS SHOULD BE CLEARED OUT EVERYWHERE
BY 15Z FRIDAY.
