The radar

The Maxwell AFB radar (KMXX), 102 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:15 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 severe thunderstorm 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

Birmingham, AL (KBMX), launched 00:00Z, 3.2 hours before the alert went out and 116 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.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 6, 7:50 PM CDT, 2 hours 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
750 PM CDT WED APR 6 2016

.UPDATE...
MESOSCALE UPDATE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDED FROM NEAR CULLMAN
SOUTHWEST ACROSS SOUTHEAST WALKER COUNTY AND FURTHER SOUTHWEST
INTO CENTRAL TUSCALOOSA COUNTY AND SOUTHWEST INTO NORTH-CENTRAL
SUMTER COUNTY. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE EAST
THIS EVENING.

ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS FAR EASTERN
ALABAMA FROM CALHOUN COUNTY NOW AFFECTING NORTHERN CLEBURNE COUNTY
AND WILL AFFECT PORTIONS OF CHEROKEE COUNTY.

ADDITIONALLY... ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST
ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI POSING A RISK FOR LARGE HAIL.
THIS ACTIVITY IS BEHIND A SURFACE COLD FRONT ANALYZED ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST PORTION OF ALABAMA SOUTHWEST ACROSS EASTERN MISSISSIPPI.

DESPITE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING... SURFACE WARM ADVECTION AND
MOISTURE ADVECTION FROM THE SOUTH ARE HELPING TO MAINTAIN NEAR
SURFACE INSTABILITY WITH MESOANALYSIS INDICATING CAPE VALUES FROM
250 TO 500 JOULES PER KILOGRAM. ADDITIONAL INSTABILITY IS
DEVELOPING ALOFT DUE TO STEEPENING LAPSE RATES AS COLDER AIR MOVES
IN FROM THE NORTHWEST WELL ABOVE THE SURFACE.

EXPECT THE LINE OF STORMS TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE EAST
ACROSS THE AREA WITH A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE EAST OF
THE LINE WITH A DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL THREAT POSSIBLE ALONG AND
TO THE EAST OF THE LINE. BEHIND THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS... A
SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE PUSHING EASTWARD AND
THUNDERSTORMS NEAR AND TO THE WEST OF THE FRONT WILL PRIMARILY
POSE A THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL.

05

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

CEILINGS WILL FALL TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
WEST. BREEZY CONDITIONS THIS EVENING WILL PERSIST TONIGHT WITH
WINDS SHIFTING FROM THE NORTHWEST AFTER THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY
IMPROVING CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY WITH RISING CLOUD BASES AND
DECREASING CLOUD COVER AS DRIER AIR ARRIVES FROM THE WEST. GUSTY
WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD AT ALL
SITES... DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON THURSDAY.

05

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

STRONG SOUTHERLY WIND THIS AFTERNOON WITH SHOWERS AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. DRY CONDITIONS
FOR MOST OF THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES INTO THE 30S.

75

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 650 PM CDT WED APR 6 2016/

SHOWERS WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF OUR AREA AT THIS HOUR AS A
SURFACE COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO FAR WESTERN TENNESSEE... NORTHERN
MISSISSIPPI AND MOVES FURTHER INTO CENTRAL LOUISIANA.

THE PRIMARY RISK WITH THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS A
DAMAGING WIND THREAT ALONG WITH A LARGE HAIL THREAT AS HIGHER
WINDS ALOFT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MIX DOWNWARD AND STEEP LAPSE
RATES ARE EXPECTED AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES... PERMITTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE HAIL WITHIN THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

SURFACE TEMPERATURES AS OF 6 PM HAVE CONTINUED TO WARM THROUGHOUT
OUR AREA WITH READINGS IN THE 70S ACROSS ALL BUT PORTIONS OF OUR
EAST-CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST COUNTIES... INCLUDING PORTIONS OF
CLAY... CLEBURNE... RANDOLPH... CHAMBERS... AND CHEROKEE COUNTIES.

DEW POINTS HAVE CONTINUED TO INCREASE WITH READINGS IN THE LOWER
60S ACROSS SOUTHEAST BULLOCK COUNTY... ALONG WITH READINGS IN THE
50S GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM NEAR MARION IN
PERRY COUNTY NORTHEAST TO NEAR SYLACAUGA NORTHEAST TO NEAR
ANNISTON AND EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN CLEBURNE COUNTY.

MESOANALYSIS DATA INDICATES RELATIVELY LOW SURFACE-BASED
INSTABILITY WITH CAPE VALUES GENERALLY RANGING BETWEEN 250 AND 500
JOULES PER KILOGRAM. MORE ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO
MATERIALIZE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS LAPSE
RATES STEEPEN WITH THE ARRIVAL OF COLDER AIR ALOFT.

SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES A FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER ACROSS
OUR AREA BUT THE RELATIVELY SMALL AREAS ALONG WITH THE APPROACH OF
SUNSET WILL LIMIT FURTHER SURFACE HEATING BY SOLAR INSOLATION.

REGIONAL VAD WIND PROFILES FROM NEXRAD RADAR SITES GENERALLY
DEPICT A SOUTHERLY FLOW JUST OFF THE SURFACE WITH WINDS BETWEEN 20
AND 30 KNOTS GENERALLY... TRANSITIONING TO A SOUTHWEST FLOW NEAR
50 KNOTS GENERALLY ABOVE 14000 FEET AT BOTH BMX AND MXX. THE SMALL
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO... THOUGH LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY AND LOWER LEVEL DIRECTIONAL WIND SHEAR REMAINS
MINIMAL.

EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE
TO THE NORTHEAST ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT THAT
WILL PUSH INTO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI LATER THIS EVENING AND ARRIVE
LATER TONIGHT. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY AHEAD OF THE
FRONT AND OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS. WITHIN THUNDERSTORMS THE RISK
OF DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY RISKS
TONIGHT.
