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 Apr 5, 1:13 PM CDT, 2 hours 57 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 1:13 PM CDT, 2 hours 57 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
113 PM CDT Wed Apr 5 2017

.UPDATE...
For 18Z Aviation.

.DISCUSSION...

Effective warm front roughly positioned from northern Sumter
County northeast across southern Bibb County east across southern
Talladega County and into southern Cleburne County.

The airmass is continuing to rapidly destabilize south of the warm
front with temperatures in the low to mid 70's along the U.S.
Highway 80 corridor along with dew points in the lower 70's
across our southern tier of counties.

We continue to monitor the potential for large hail with
thunderstorms near and north of the warm front and for the
increasing potential of all convective hazards to the southwest
across southern Alabama.

Our concern continues to increase with discrete storms moving out
of Clarke and Monroe Counties and into Wilcox County while
additional discrete storms are moving out of Escambia and Conecuh
Counties and into Covington County. These storms will pose a
threat to Selma/Montgomery/Troy areas through the next few hours.

Visible satellite imagery indicates some breaks in the clouds from
Washington County north to Tuscaloosa County. Solar radiation will
help to further raise temperatures and will result in further
airmass destabilization through the remainder of the morning
hours across our western and southwest counties.

The latest derived hodograph from the KBMX radar velocity wind
profile indicates 0-6 km bulk shear of 54 knots and 0-1 km storm
relative helicities of 108 m2/s2. The environment remains
supportive of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes south of the warm
front.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF Discussion.

Except for a small line of TSRA moving northeast toward/thru
ASN/ANB over the next hour or so, we are in a lull in the activity
for the most part with the activity expected to pick back up in
the 21-23z time frame ahead of our approaching front. Some storms
could be strong to severe late this afternoon into the early
evening. Winds are expected to shift and remain gusty tonight
behind the front. Overall VFR cigs are expected outside of
convection.

08

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

A storm system will bring rain and thunderstorms to the area
through tonight. Rain-free weather returns Thursday through the
weekend. Critical fire weather conditions are not expected through
the next 7 days.
