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 Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 27, 2:23 PM CDT, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 2:23 PM CDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Huntsville AL
223 PM CDT MON JUN 27 2016

.DISCUSSION...
At 19z, showers and thunderstorms were continuing to develop and
overspread the forecast area from the west and northwest along and
ahead of a convergent boundary/pre-frontal trough. This boundary was
extending southwest out of middle Tennessee into north Mississippi.
Dewpoint temps ahead of the storms had increased into the low-mid 70s
except for northeast Alabama, where the lower atmosphere had mixed
out a bit with dewpoint temps there in the upper 60s. Will continue
into the evening with likely to occasional shra/tsra and will slowly
lessen pops with time into the overnight hours as the RAP/HRRR and
Hi-Res short term models indicate that there should be some
subsidence that will move southeast into the area behind the initial
band of shra/tsra across the area.

The short term models are indicative that the main cold front should
shift southeast into middle Tennessee by 12z Tuesday and through the
southern portions of the forecast area by 18z Tuesday. Will maintain
low chance pops for Tuesday due to the proximity of the cold front to
the forecast area. Expecting that afternoon heating/instability and
still decent PWAT values above an inch, should contribute to at least
low chance pops across the region. The cold front is progged by the
models to be well south of the forecast area by Tuesday night with
high pressure building southeast out of the midwest toward the
Tennessee valley.

A mid to upper level northwest flow aloft will result in dry and
cooler weather for the forecast area through Thursday. Both the GFS
and ECMWF models are in similar agreement involving the southeast
movement of the next cold front through the midwest. The upper flow
is expected to become also more zonal by Friday as a short wave is
expected to move slowly east-southeast through the southern plains
along the frontal boundary. Will slowly increase pops into the chance
category by Saturday as the frontal boundary and short wave get a
little closer to the forecast area. By Saturday, the ECMWF model
indicated that the frontal boundary should stall out over middle
Tennessee, while the GFS model characteristically indicated that the
cold front would make it into north Alabama. Will follow closer to
the more conservative ECMWF model involving the frontal placement.
The nearly stationary cold front is expected to slowly shift
southward to close to the forecast area by Sunday and have gone with
higher chance pops from Sunday through Monday. As far as temps are
concerned, will trend more toward the slightly cooler GFS temps
through the extended forecast periods.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 1237 PM CDT MON JUN 27 2016)
For 18Z TAFs: VFR conditions will prevail outside of any thunderstorm
activity through the TAF period. Boundaries are currently developing
showers and thunderstorms and will continue to do so into this
evening. A stratus deck or fog development is possible toward
sunrise, however due to low confidence at this time, left it out
of the TAFs.
