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 Jun 7, 6:31 PM CDT, 3 hours 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 6:31 PM CDT, 3 hours 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
631 PM CDT SAT JUN 7 2014

.UPDATE...
FOR 00Z AVIATION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE LIKELIHOOD OF A
SEVERE STORM OR TWO THIS EVENING. THE MAIN SURFACE TROUGH WE HAVE
BEEN DEALING WITH THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS PUSHED SOUTH AND WEST LAST
NIGHT. BUT THE VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THIS BOUNDARY
HAS PUSHED BACK TO THE EAST...WHILE NUMEROUS SMALLER SCALE
BOUNDARIES ARE AROUND. THE LATEST SPC RAP ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SURFACE
BASED CAPES INCREASING INTO THE 3000-3500 RANGE ACROSS WEST
ALABAMA WEST OF THIS SURFACE TROUGH AN. ADDITIONALLY...BULK SHEAR
VALUES ARE THE LARGEST NORTH WHERE A MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS
ROTATING EASTWARD NEAR THE MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE STATE LINE
AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES INCREASE. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BECOME MORE
ORGANIZED SHORTLY AND SEVERE STORMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. AS THE
EVENING PROGRESSES...CORFIDI VECTORS INDICATE A POTENTIAL EAST
SOUTHEAST PROPAGATION IF SOME ORGANIZATION CAN MAKE IT INTO
ALABAMA. A SECONDARY BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED BACK INTO
ARKANSAS...WHICH IMPACT IS YET TO BE DETERMINED.

THEREFORE...ADDED SEVERAL COUNTIES INTO A LOWER CONFIDENCE SEVERE
FOR TONIGHT...MAINLY THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THIS AREA GENERALLY IS WEST
OF A LINE FROM MONTGOMERY TO ONEONTA. THE STORMS SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 20 SHOULD BE ISOLATED IN NATURE...WHERE STORMS NORTH
HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF BECOME A BIT MORE ORGANIZED. THE MAIN
THREATS REMAIN DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND
HEAVY RAIN. INSTABILITY DECREASES EASTWARD AND THEREFORE
CONFIDENCE IS A BIT LESS THAT ANYTHING WILL BE SUSTAINED
THERE...BUT CERTAINLY A STRONG STORM WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES.

75

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

VERY LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR THIS PERIOD. TO START...THE
ATMOSPHERE LOOKS AS THOUGH IT IS NOW PRIME FOR CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT...WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING TO FORM OVER
NORTHERN ALABAMA. MEANWHILE...AND AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS IN
NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND WESTERN TENNESSEE WILL LIKELY PUSH TO THE
EAST SOUTHEAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. FORECAST MODELS ARE
SUGGESTING THAT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH WILL BEGIN TO
AFFECT THE WESTERN TAF TERMINALS BEGINNING SHORTLY AFTER 01Z AND
THEN CONTINUE EASTWARD. DUE TO THE LOW CONFIDENCE...HAVE OPTED TO
ONLY MENTION VCTS FOR TERMINALS ALONG AND WEST OF THE INTERSTATE
65 CORRIDOR. AS THE DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES...AMENDMENTS MAY BECOME
NECESSARY. ANY ACTIVITY THAT DOES MOVE INTO THE TERMINALS WILL
DISSIPATE BY 06Z. THIS WILL LEAVE PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS AT
MOST LOCATIONS...WITH THE EXCEPTION BEING TOI...WHERE THE LOCAL
FOG DEVELOPMENT APPEARS LIKELY. ADDITIONALLY...ANY LOCATION THAT
EXPERIENCES HEAVY RAINFALL WILL HAVE THE POSSIBILITY FOR FOG
TOMORROW MORNING.
