$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 3, 12:57 PM CDT, 2 hours 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 12:57 PM CDT, 2 hours 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 1257 PM CDT Mon Apr 3 2017 .UPDATE... For 18Z Aviation. && .SHORT TERM... Today through Wednesday. A QLCS is beginning to become more organized across southern Mississippi this morning, but the warm sector across Alabama is contaminated with showers and thunderstorms. The effects of evaporational cooling and cold pooling have created an effective warm front that will limit the northward extent of the severe weather risk associated with the QLCS as it moves across the southern half of the area this morning. The overall threat is also tempered by mid-level flow that is nearly parallel to the QLCS, which is not particularly favorable for bowing segments and fast forward progression. The best chance of damaging winds and brief tornadoes should remain along and south of Interstate 85. Isolated damaging winds cannot be totally ruled out farther north. The associated cold front with the today's system will become diffuse across the northern Gulf Tuesday night as a strong upper trough moves into the Plains. As the warm front moves inland, elevated supercell thunderstorms appear likely Wednesday morning with a potential for large hail and damaging winds. If any storms become surface based during the morning, tornadoes would also be possible. The evolution of this activity and additional convection during the late morning/early afternoon remains in question and will impact the nature of the severe weather threat for the afternoon and evening. Several models are quite aggressive with warm sector development through 18z Wednesday, which would cause the strongest low-level shear to become displaced across our South and East. I am not sold on this idea as of now for two reasons. An elevated mixed layer should be present, which argues for limited thunderstorm development. Also, the surface low should be well to our north across the Ohio Valley at 18z Wednesday along with the synoptic warm front. Arguing in favor of a contaminated warm sector is the presence of a subtropical jet streak, but is not particularly impressive. If the warm sector remains more free of convection, a more substantial area-wide risk would develop. With all of that said, the highest confidence in supercell storms capable of producing long-track tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds is currently along and east of a line from Selma to Anniston. This threat could expand westward with time and will hinge on early day warm sector development. 87/Grantham .LONG TERM... Thursday through Sunday. Thursday through Sunday will be a fairly benign timeframe with high pressure taking control and bringing in some chilly air for this time of the year. Low temperatures on Friday and Saturday morning will be in the low 40s for most of the area, with a few upper 30s in the northeast and normally cooler spots. Some areas in the northeast may even drop into the mid 30s with a possible frosty start. This will continue to be monitored over the next several days and more details will be forthcoming but once this severe weather threat is over, you may want to make plans for outdoor vegetation and plants for the weekend. There will be a warming trend beginning Saturday afternoon that will continue into Sunday and Monday. The next chance of rain will be Monday morning with the next storm system, but there is still some timing issues with this system so expect many changes over the next few days. 16 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF Discussion. Light stratiform rain continues across east Central Alabama, and will be ending within a couple hours. As rain ends, winds will increase from the east due to a tightened pressure gradient, with gusts up to 20-25kts. Winds will gradually diminish this afternoon, and fall to or below 10kts this evening. Given the increased winds through the overnight period, fog does not seem likely at this time, but the possibility of reduced vis will be re-assessed with the next forecast. 14 && .FIRE WEATHER... Widespread showers and storms through the early afternoon today. This will be a heavy rain producer and will make most of the fuels fairly wet. Tuesday will see a brief return to drier conditions before another system brings rain and storms to the area on Wednesday. Dry again on Thursday and it will remain that way through the weekend. Critical fire weather conditions are not expected through the next 7 days. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
