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 Apr 7, 12:19 AM CDT, 4 hours 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 7, 12:19 AM CDT, 4 hours 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
1219 AM CDT MON APR 7 2014

.UPDATE...
FOR 06Z AVIATION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

LOOKING AT ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS THIS EVENING...CONFIDENCE IS
INCREASING IN THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST THE
WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA TONIGHT. THIS INCLUDES
THE RISK FOR TORNADOES...A COUPLE OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG ACROSS
OUR SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES. THE PRIMARY FEATURE OF INTEREST...THE
SURFACE WARM FRONT...IS BEGINNING TO LIFT NORTHWARD AS EXPECTED.
AS OF 02Z...THE BEST ESTIMATE FOR ITS LOCATION IS FROM MCCOMB IN
MISSISSIPPI...TO EVERGREEN...TO MARIANNA FLORIDA. SOUTH OF THE
WARM FRONT CONVECTION WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO BE SURFACE
BASED...RESULTING IN AN INCREASING RISK FOR TORNADOES DUE TO
PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND VERY FAVORABLE HODOGRAPHS. FOR AN
IDEA OF WHAT'S HEADED OUR WAY...TAKE A LOOK AT THE 00Z SOUNDING
FROM JACKSON MISSISSIPPI. 0-1 KM SHEAR OF 45-50 KTS...0-3 KM BULK
SHEAR OF OF 60 KTS...AND A STRONGLY VEERING WIND PROFILE IN THE
LOW LEVELS ARE ALL PRESENT. THIS IS NOT UNEXPECTED...AS THE WIND
SHEAR WITH THIS SYSTEM WAS NEVER IN DOUBT.

THE INSTABILITY WAS IN QUESTION...HOWEVER. SBCAPE REMAINS CONFINED
TO THE GULF COAST AREAS OF LOUISIANA...MISSISSIPPI...AND ALABAMA.
BUT DUE TO THE WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHWARD...EXPECT SBCAPE TO
INCREASE OVER THE NEXT 4-6 HOURS OVER SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND
ALABAMA. WE WILL BE CLOSELY WATCHING THE INCREASE IN SURFACE DEW
POINTS OVER SOUTHERN ALABAMA. FOR EXAMPLE...MOBILE HAS A DEW POINT
OF 70 AT 02Z. THAT JUICY AIRMASS IS COMING TOWARDS DEMOPOLIS AND
SELMA.

ELEVATED INSTABILITY EXISTS OVER THE AREA THANKS TO COOLING TEMPS
ALOFT AS THE UPPER TROUGH TO OUR WEST PIVOTS OVER TEXAS/OKLAHOMA
AND ASSUMES A NEGATIVE TILT OVERNIGHT AS IT CONTINUES EASTWARD.
MUCAPE OF ~500 J/KG WILL BE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING ELEVATED
SUPERCELL AND BOWING STRUCTURES CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT.

AFTER MIDNIGHT IS WHEN I'M THINKING THE TORNADO POTENTIAL WILL
REALLY RAMP UP ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AS THE SURFACE WARM FRONT
MOVES OVER THAT AREA. FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO BE A
CONCERN AS TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIN COMING OUT OF
MISSISSIPPI PRODUCE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF HEAVY RAINFALL. EXPECT QUITE
A FEW FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS WILL NEED TO BE ISSUED OVERNIGHT.

SO IN SUMMARY...NOT MUCH CHANGE IN OUR OVERALL THINKING FROM THIS
AFTERNOON. SURFACE DEW POINTS...SURFACE WINDS...AND RAINFALL RATES
WILL BE THE KEY THINGS TO WATCH OVERNIGHT.

77/GLEASON

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

CONTINUED WITH A PESSIMISTIC FORECAST FOR THE PERIOD AND WILL
REMAIN LOW THROUGH THE PERIOD. THERE WILL BE SOME CLEARING AT THE
TAIL END OF THE FORECAST SO LOOK FORWARD TO THAT. AMENDMENTS WILL
BE MADE IF TIMING NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED.
