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 17, 2:14 PM CDT, 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 2:14 PM CDT, 45 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
214 PM CDT FRI JUN 17 2016

.DISCUSSION...

A band of severe storms will be tracking southward across south
Alabama during the late afternoon and early evening hours. The
severe storms should be exiting south central Alabama by 6 or 7
pm, and lowered pops tonight. A back door cold front will push
into east Alabama Saturday morning, and this front will be the
focus for afternoon scattered showers and few thunderstorms, so
best rain chances will be confined to southwest counties. Drier
air will advect into central Alabama on Saturday, but dewpoints
will still be in the 60s. By Sunday, even drier air will spill
down the Appalachians as a closed upper low develops off the
Carolina coast. Surface dewpoints will drop into the 50s on Sunday,
which is a big drop from the mid 70s dewpoints currently across
the area.

An upper ridge over the Plains states will expand eastward towards
Alabama and provide rain free conditions Monday and Tuesday, along
with warmer daytime temperatures. The upper ridge will retro-grade
westward Tuesday night as a short wave trof digs southward along
the eastern United States. A weak cool front will accompany the
short wave trof and trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms
across the area late Tuesday night and Wednesday. The models have
been trending drier Thursday and Friday as the trof along the east
coast pushes drier mid level air southward, and removed rain
chances across the northern counties on Thursday with dry
conditions on Friday.

58/rose

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF Discussion.

Scattered storms have already developed along/ahead of a frontal
boundary across the TN Valley. These storms are expected to become
more organized and push southward across the forecast area this
afternoon. Have included some initial best-timing of TS for each
terminal, but updates may become needed throughout the afternoon.
Heavy rain could significantly reduce VIS at times. Some storms
could be severe with damaging wind gusts and large hail.
Otherwise, VFR cigs should prevail with westerly winds of 10 kts
today. Winds will shift to the NW then N post-frontal.

19

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Humidity levels will be lowering over the weekend as cooler air
pushes in from the east. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms
could linger over south central Alabama on Saturday as front
stalls out over this area. High pressure will build over the area
Sunday through Tuesday and temperatures will warm back into the
90s, with no rain expected. A weak cold front will push into
north Alabama Tuesday night and bring a chance of rain to north
Alabama Tuesday night and across all of central Alabama on
Wednesday.
