The radar

The Northeast Alabama radar (KHTX), 28 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:38 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 10.6 hours before the alert went out and 168 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 3, 3:13 PM CDT, 2 hours 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 3, 3:13 PM CDT, 2 hours 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
313 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

.DISCUSSION...
THE 20Z SURFACE AND IR/VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED THAT THE
OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT HAD NEARLY STALLED OVER MIDDLE
TENNESSEE...WAS BEGINNING TO MOVE EAST ACROSS TENNESSEE. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS WERE BEGINNING TO FORM IN THE UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA AND INTO SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE
GENERALLY TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF THE BOUNDARY. TEMPS WERE ONLY
SLOWLY WARMING THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE MID 80S DUE TO EXTENSIVE LOW
CLOUDS THAT WERE FINALLY BEGINNING TO DISSIPATE SOMEWHAT ACROSS THE
AREA.

WILL CONTINUE WITH AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE POP ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA THROUGH THE EVENING...DUE TO THE CONTINUED EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT
OF SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS...PWAT VALUES AROUND TWO INCHES AND
PROXIMITY OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE FORECAST AREA. IN THE
SHORT TERM...WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS THE COMBINATION OF HEATING...THE OLD
BOUNDARY AND PLENTIFUL MOISTURE WILL BE THE DRIVING FACTORS INVOLVING
STORM DEVELOPMENT. HAVE FOLLOWED CLOSER TO TOWARD THE COOLER NAM
HIGH TEMPS THROUGH FRIDAY AND OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD BE CLOSE TO
GUIDANCE AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED.

BY FRIDAY...THE MODELS ALL DEPICT A COLD FRONT TAKING SHAPE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL PLAINS STATES...EXTENDING NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES
REGION. THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS ARE SIMILAR IN MOVING A PRE-FRONTAL
TROUGH AND TRAILING SURFACE COLD FRONT INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY
REGION BY SATURDAY. HAVE SLIGHTLY UPPED PRECIP CHANCES ON SATURDAY
TOWARD THE HIGHER END OF THE CHANCE CATEGORY AS THE PRE-FRONTAL
TROUGH AND COLD FRONT ARE PROGGED TO SETTLE SOUTHWARD INTO THE
VICINITY OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 00Z SUNDAY. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS
MODELS ARE NOW INDICATING THAT THE COLD FRONT MAY INDEED MAKE IT
SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA BY 00Z MONDAY. IF
THIS SCENARIO UNFOLDS AS THE MODELS SUGGEST...AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN
MIDDLE TENNESSEE COUNTIES WILL SEE MORE DRYING AND LOWER DEWPOINT
TEMPS BY 12Z MONDAY. HAVE GONE WITH A BLEND BETWEEN THE SLIGHTLY
COOLER ECMWF MODEL TEMPS AND WARMER GFS TEMPS FOR SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY TEMPS.

THE ECMWF AND GFS MODELS THEN HINT AT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINING
CLOSE TO THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP IN A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WILL FOLLOW
CLOSELY TO GFS TEMP GUIDANCE FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE EXTENDED
FORECAST PERIODS.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 1233 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014/
FOR 18Z TAFS...A WEAK SFC BOUNDARY EXISTS ACROSS NW ALABAMA WHICH IS
HELPING TO TRIGGER A FEW SHRA ACROSS LAWRENCE/WINSTON COUNTIES.
EXPECT COVERAGE OF SHRA /PERHAPS ISOLD TSRA/ TO INCREASE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO THIS SFC BNDRY...DAYTIME HEATING AND
PRESENCE OF WEAK UPR LVL TROUGH AXIS. FEEL INITIAL CONVECTION WILL
BE CENTERED CLOSER TO KHSV THROUGH 20Z. THEREAFTER REMAINS IN
QUESTION BUT BELIEVE KMSL WILL STAY DRY WITH VFR. REMOVED THUNDER
ATTM DUE TO HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT AND ONLY MARGINAL SFC HEATING DUE
TO CLOUDS. SHOULD SEE DECREASE IN COVERAGE AFTER SUNSET WITH VFR
CONDITIONS PREVAILING. LATER TONIGHT AND INTO THURS MORNING...LOW
CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG COULD AFFECT BOTH KHSV AND KMSL WITH MVFR TO
IFR CONDITIONS. FORECAST IS ON THE CONSERATIVE SIDE...DEPENDENT ON
WHERE RAIN OCCURS THIS AFTN.
