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 24, 6:44 PM CDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
644 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

.UPDATE...
FOR 00Z AVIATION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION HAS REALLY
PLAYED A ROLE IN DELAYING THE ONSET OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER CENTRAL
ALABAMA. SOME AREA HAVE SIMPLY NOT RECOVERED AT ALL WITH SURFACE
DEW POINTS DROPPING INTO THE MID 60S. SATELLITE IMAGERY MAKES
CENTRAL ALABAMA APPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING OF FIRE. THIS
WILL SOON CHANGE AS WE EXPECT DEVELOPMENT IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST
AREAS OR MOVE IN FROM GEORGIA. THE INSTABILITY PARAMETERS EXPECTED
THE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR UN ORGANIZED SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WITH A POTENTIAL OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL. ATLANTA JUST HAD A WIND GUST OF 61 MPH WITH STORMS
EAST OF US. KEPT THE MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS GOING ALL NIGH AS
THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL OF MESOSCALE INTERACTIONS AT ANY
TIME...BUT AN OVERALL DECREASE IS COVERAGE IS ANTICIPATED. THE ONE
FLY IN THE OINTMENT WOULD BE IF A COLD POOL CAN BE ESTABLISHED
ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A MORE EXTENSIVE THUNDERSTORM AREA AND IT MOVE
WESTWARD INTO THE AREA...WILL MONITOR CLOSELY.

DECREASED POPS EVER SO SLIGHTLY ON THURSDAY AS MOISTURE AND
BOUNDARIES APPEAR TO BE A BIT LESS. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE
SURFACE DEW POINTS CLOSELY...BECAUSE IF THEY CAN REMAIN INTO THE
70S AND TEMPS ARE EVEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER...HEAT INDICES WILL BE
NEAR 105 DEGREES. AT THIS TIME...WILL NOT ISSUE AN ADVISORY FOR
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

MOST MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING OVERHEAD ON
FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
WILL BE GOOD...THEREFORE...STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE EACH
AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY FRIDAY. GUSTY WINDS...LIGHTNING AND HAIL WILL
BE THE THREATS.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AS UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH DEEPENS. EXPECT
WIDESPREAD RAIN CHANCES ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND
MAINTAINED HIGH POPS. 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES INCREASE RIGHT
ALONG THE FRONT TO AROUND 30 KTS WHICH IS UNSEASONABLE FOR LATE
JUNE AND COULD ALLOW FOR STORM ORGANIZATION. STRONGER STORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE BUT CONFIDENCE IN SEVERE STORMS IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO
INCLUDE IN THE HWO AT THIS TIME...AND WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/STORMS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT COULD HINDER DESTABILIZATION. MODELS SEEM TO BE
TRENDING A LITTLE QUICKER IN MOVING THE FRONT OUT OF THE AREA
SUNDAY MORNING. POPS ON SUNDAY HAVE BEEN DECREASED A BIT AND MAY
NEED TO BE DECREASED FURTHER IF TRENDS CONTINUE. FOR MOST AREAS
SUNDAY WILL BE A VERY PLEASANT DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S AND
COMFORTABLE DEWPOINTS. LOW PW VALUES WILL RESULT IN DRY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S ON MONDAY
AND TUESDAY WILL BE NEAR SEASONAL AVERAGES. MODELS DIFFER ON A
POSSIBLE SHORTWAVE MOVING DOWN THE BASE OF THE TROUGH ON MONDAY
AND MONDAY NIGHT SO WILL KEEP POPS LOW. MORE SEASONABLE RAIN
CHANCES RETURN BY TUESDAY.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

WE HAVE THREE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES MOVING INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AND
WILL CAUSE ISSUES AT MOST SITES OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE
OUTFLOW IN THE WEST WILL IMPACT TCL...BHM AND EET. MEANWHILE A
SECOND OUTFLOW MOVING OUT OF GEORGIA IS SLIDE INTO THE SOUTH AND
WILL IMPACT MGM AND TOI. MEANWHILE A THIRD OUTFLOW IS NOW MOVING
IN NORTHEAST ALABAMA AND WILL IMPACT ANB AND ASN. TRIED TO TIME
OUT OUT THE IMPACT OF ALL OUTFLOWS BUT WILL LIKELY HAVE TO AMEND
FREQUENTLY AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT 6 HOURS.

BY SUNRISE COULD BE SOME BRIEF MVFR WITH HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN THE
NORTHEAST. THEN MORE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AFTER 19 TO 21Z ON
THURSDAY.

.FIRE WEATHER...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH HOT AND HUMID CONTINUES WILL
CONTINUE THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE ON
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA
LATE SATURDAY...DECREASING RAIN CHANCES SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP OFF SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH DRIER AIR ALSO
IN PLACE. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL NOT BE EXTREMELY LOW.
