What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 6, 6:59 AM CDT, 1 hour 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 6, 6:59 AM CDT, 1 hour 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
659 AM CDT SUN APR 6 2014

.UPDATE...
FOR 12Z AVIATION.

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

STORMY WEATHER OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. INITIALLY MID LEVEL CLOUDS
NORTH WITH -RA AND MVFR CIGS/VSBYS SOUTH WITH TSRA AS LARGE SWATH
OF ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TODAY AND TONIGHT AHEAD OF A
WARM FRONT. CIGS WILL DETERIORATE DURING THE AFTERNOON AS LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE GOING TO IFR FOR MOST
TONIGHT AS TSRA BECOMES PREVALENT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. SOME
STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO THE
MONDAY MORNING AT TERMINALS AS SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS.

08/MK

&&

.DISCUSSION...

THIS DISCUSSION WILL FOCUS ON THE SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING
POTENTIAL OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON MONDAY. THE
MAIN LIMITING FACTOR CONTINUES TO BE THE NORTHWARD PROGRESSION OF
THE WARM FRONT AND THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY IN THE NOCTURNAL
ENVIRONMENT. THE SHEAR AND WIND FIELDS REMAIN HIGHLY FAVORABLE WITH
NO LACK OF LOW LEVEL OR DEEP LAYER SHEAR.

THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS CURRENTLY CHARACTERIZED BY AN AMPLIFYING
TROUGH ACROSS WESTERN TEXAS. A FEW WEAK SHORTWAVES CAN BE NOTED
MOVING OUT AHEAD OF THIS MAIN TROUGH. AT THE SURFACE...THE WARM
FRONT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED JUST ALONG THE GULF COAST WHERE DEW POINTS
ARE CURRENTLY IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. MOVING IN INLAND JUST A 100
MILES OR SO AND DEW POINTS DROP DOWN INTO THE LOW TO MID 50S. FURTHER
NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA...DEW POINTS CURRENTLY RANGE FROM 53
AT TROY TO 39 AT TUSCALOOSA. THEREFORE...IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME FOR
THE MOISTURE RICH AIR TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA BEFORE SEVERE STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT. LOOKING AT THE RADAR...SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED AS ISENTROPIC ASCENT HAS
INCREASED NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT IN RESPONSE TO ONE OF THE LEAD
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS. THESE STORMS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGHOUT THE
MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS WITH THE FRONT STILL SOUTH OF THE AREA
AND NOT EXPECTING ANY SEVERE STORMS UNTIL AFTER 9 PM. CONTINUED
MOISTURE ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC ASCENT NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT
WILL PRODUCE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES SOUTH OF I-20 DURING
THE DAY TODAY WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PIVOT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TODAY
WITH CYCLOGENESIS EXPECTED ALONG THE GULF COAST. THE SURFACE LOW
WILL DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS NORTHWARD ACROSS MS. THIS RAPID DEEPENING
WILL CAUSE A SHARP INCREASE IN THE LOW LEVEL JET. THE LATEST MODEL
RUNS ARE JUST A TOUCH WEAKER WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET AS COMPARED TO
LAST NIGHT BUT 850 MB WINDS INCREASE TO 45-65 KTS WITH 925 MB WINDS
IN THE 35-55 KT RANGE. THESE INCREDIBLE WIND FIELDS WILL CREATE 0-1
BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 35-50 KTS WITH 0-1 KM SRH VALUES RANGING
ANYWHERE FROM 250-400 M2/S2. IN ADDITION...THE DEEP LAYER 0-6 KM
BULK SHEAR WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 45-65 KTS. THEREFORE...THE LOW
LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT
ROTATING UPDRAFTS.

WIDESPREAD RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TODAY AND THIS WILL HAVE A
STABILIZING EFFECT ON THE ATMOSPHERE. THE FRONT WILL BE HINDERED
MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY DUE TO THIS FACT. HOWEVER...THE LOW LEVEL JET
EXPERIENCES A SHARP INCREASE AFTER 03Z TONIGHT. THIS PUSH OF WARM
AND MOIST AIR SHOULD PUSH THE FRONT NORTHWARD INTO THE FORECAST
AREA. MOST OF THE MODELS INDICATE THAT THE 60 DEGREE ISODROSOTHERM
WILL MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE 65 DEGREE
ISODROSOTHERM MOVING AS FAR NORTH AS A TUSCALOOSA...TO
ALABASTER...TO AUBURN LINE. WITH THESE DEW POINTS...EXPECT SBCAPE
VALUES WILL BE ABLE TO PUSH UP INTO THE 250-500 J/KG RANGE. ALTHOUGH
LOW...THESE NUMBERS AGAIN ARE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN
SUPERCELLS. MODEL SOUNDINGS APPEAR TO THINK THAT THE BOUNDARY LAYER
WILL DECOUPLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH AN INVERSION JUST OFF
THE SURFACE. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WILL HAPPEN WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS IN
THE 10-20 MPH RANGE. THEREFORE...INSTABILITY VALUES COULD BE
SLIGHTLY UNDERDONE. IF SO...THE STORMS COULD BE STRONGER THAN
CURRENTLY FORECAST. THE ANALOG GUIDANCE SUGGEST A DECENT LIKELIHOOD
OF TORNADO OCCURRENCE WITH OVER HALF THE SIMILAR EVENTS HAVING AT
LEAST ONE TORNADO. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT ALL OF THE ANALOG
EVENTS WERE FROM EVENTS WITH TORNADOES OF WEAK INTENSITY. THIS IS
MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE LOW CAPE VALUES WHICH COULD BE UNDERDONE.

LATEST HI-RES GUIDANCE SUPPORTS THE PREVIOUS FORECAST STORM
EVOLUTION. MOST OF THE HI-RES MODELS INDICATE THAT SUPERCELLS WILL
DEVELOP IN THE WARM SECTOR AS EARLY AS 9 PM ACROSS SOUTHWEST
ALABAMA. THE SUPERCELLS THEN TRANSITION INTO A LINE AROUND 3 AM AND
PROGRESS TO THE EAST. EXPECT TORNADOES WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT
WITH THE SUPERCELL MODE AND THE THREAT WILL TRANSITION TO MORE OF A
WIND THREAT THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL
LIFT OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE MONDAY MORNING WITH THE SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT ENDING AROUND NOON ON MONDAY. FOR NOW...I HAVE
CONTINUED TO MENTION THE RISK OF TORNADOES ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL
ALABAMA. HOWEVER...THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE EXISTS ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE STATE...ESPECIALLY FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF
A HAMILTON...TO ALABASTER...TO UNION SPRINGS LINE. FURTHER TO THE
NORTH AND EAST...THE CONFIDENCE GREATLY DECREASES WITH THE LOWER
INSTABILITY.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED DUE TO THE DURATION OF MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED. AS STATED PREVIOUSLY IN THE
DISCUSSION...1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED TODAY NORTH OF THE
WARM FRONT. THIS RAINFALL WILL ACT TO SATURATE THE GROUND AHEAD OF
THE STORMS EXPECTED TONIGHT. THIS CONTINUED HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
PRODUCE TOTAL STORM AMOUNTS OF AROUND 2 TO 4 INCHES WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. AGAIN...CONTINUED HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE
THE LIKELIHOOD OF FLASH FLOODING AND FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR
DRAINAGE. PLEASE REMEMBER TO TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN IF YOU MUST
TRAVEL TONIGHT. THE SEVERE WEATHER IS ALSO EXPECTED TO OCCUR
OVERNIGHT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO HAVE SOME WAY TO GET WEATHER
INFORMATION THAT CAN WAKE YOU UP. THE MAIN IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON MONDAY WITH
DRIER CONDITIONS EXPECTED BRIEFLY MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE ANOTHER CHANCE
OF RAIN ARRIVES ON TUESDAY. CONDITIONS FINALLY DRY OUT ON WEDNESDAY
WITH TEMPERATURES SLOWLY INCREASING THROUGHOUT THE END OF THE WORK
WEEK.
