What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood watch went out at Aug 28, 12:38 PM CDT, 3 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 28, 12:38 PM CDT, 3 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Mobile AL 1238 PM CDT Mon Aug 28 2017 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... 18Z issuance...Current package dominated by Harvey and impulses being ejected or swinging around him. General low end VFR to MVFR level CIGs expected through the forecast, with VISBYs remaining well into VFR levels due to winds staying above calm. A piece of energy ejecting from Harvey will move east over the Lower Mississippi River Valley this afternoon, bringing a round of shra/tsra to the area. A surface boundary will set up overnight along the coast and bring more elevated shra/tsra to the area for the last 6hrs of the forecast Tuesday morn. Still expecting CIGs/VSBYs to remain above IFR levels, though. /16 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1119 AM CDT Mon Aug 28 2017/ DISCUSSION...See updated information for land and marine areas below. UPDATE...(Land and Marine) Have tweaked the current package for today to bump up PoPs/QPF over the southwestern third of the forecast area to reflect the current shra streaming north over Mississippi. Tsra have been confined to areas well south of the coast, so have left out or limiting the thunder wording over land areas. Have also bumped highs down over said area to reflect the increased rain cooling over said area. Have also bumped winds up along and south of the coast this morning into the afternoon to reflect a coastal jet component creating a tighter gradient along the coast and bringing a more moderate easterly flow. For the Marine portion of the area, this means adding ExCaution level wording to the headlines for South Mobile Bay, Mississippi Sound and unprotected waters. /16 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 619 AM CDT Mon Aug 28 2017/ DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. AVIATION... 12Z issuance...VFR conditions prevail through the period. Locally lower cigs/vis will be possible in and around afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Winds remain generally out of the east at around 10 knots. /49 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 408 AM CDT Mon Aug 28 2017/ NEAR TERM /Now Through Monday night/...Northeast flow persists across the north-central Gulf coast through Monday as we remain on the northwestern periphery of newly designated Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten's broad circulation, which is roughly centered just offshore Jacksonville, FL. This flow will maintain the drier airmass (PWATs around 1.6 to 1.8 inches) over our northeastern counties in south central Alabama. Meanwhile, areas in southeast Mississippi, far southwest Alabama, and the western Florida panhandle remain a bit more moist (PWATs around 2.0 to 2.2 inches) and therefore continue to see a chance for some isolated to scattered shower and thunderstorm development throughout the day. Winds then shift to easterly Monday night as the Atlantic system moves off to the northeast and we fall under a greater influence from Harvey as it continues to meander across southeastern Texas. In terms of temperature, have gone a tad below seasonal with the highs Monday afternoon, what with the local area socked in beneath extensive cloud cover from Harvey. Expect high temps to range from around 84 to 89 degrees, with the warmest temps being possible across parts of the northwest Florida panhandle. Lows remain around seasonal, with temps ranging from around 69 inland to 74 near the coast. /49 SHORT TERM /Tuesday Through Wednesday night/...The potential for locally heavy rains has increased for the southern portion of the area due to abundant moisture associated with Harvey spreading into the area along with a more well defined nearby frontal boundary. Harvey will have moved to off the central Texas coast Tuesday morning per the latest NHC track, then moves northward into far eastern Texas Wednesday into Wednesday night. A quasi- stationary frontal boundary located from near coastal Lousiana to the extreme northeast Gulf moves slowly northward during the period and into the southern portion of the forecast area Wednesday night, and now looks to be a bit more well defined. Precipitable water values initially ranging from 1.5 to 2.15 inches (90-130% of normal) Tuesday morning (highest values near the coast) increase to around 2.25 inches (140% of normal) areawide by Tuesday night. May see a modest decrease on Wednesday with precipitable water values ranging from 2.0-2.25 inches as drier air over the easternmost Gulf (a result of upper ridging in that area) is partially drawn into the area, but still remaining elevated compared to seasonable values. For Tuesday, have gone with categorical pops mainly for extreme southwest Alabama and extreme southeast Mississippi where the best QPF amounts result from increasing deep layer moisture and closest proximity to the approaching frontal boundary. Pops taper off further inland and eastward to slight chance pops over interior south central Alabama. Likely pops follow for the entire area on Wednesday as the frontal boundary moves into the area. As mentioned earlier, the potential for locally heavy rains during the period has increased for the southern portion of the area. Rainfall totals for Tuesday into Wednesday night are expected to range from 1.5 to 3.0 inches along and south of a line from New Augusta, MS to Valparaiso, FL with the highest values over coastal Alabama and with values of 0.5-1.0 inch further inland. Will have mention in the Hazardous Weather Outlook for the potential of locally heavy rains during the period for extreme southeast Mississippi, extreme southwest Alabama and the western Florida panhandle. Highs will be mostly in the mid 80s on Tuesday except for upper 80s well to the east, then lower to mid 80s follow for Wednesday. Lows will be mostly in the lower 70s with mid 70s at the coast. /29 LONG TERM /Thursday Through Sunday/...Per the latest NHC track, Harvey is expected to be over extreme west central Louisiana Thursday morning then moves to eastern Arkansas through Friday evening, after which the system moves well off to the northeast and dissipates. The quasi-stationary frontal boundary looks to linger over the forecast area on Thursday and possibly Friday as well then either dissipates or moves north of the area by Saturday. Likely pops continue for the entire area on Thursday and for most of the area on Friday, after which chance to good chance pops follow for the remainder of the period. The potential for locally heavy rains may continue over the area in general at least into Thursday and possibly into Friday and will need to be closely monitored. Highs on Thursday and Friday will be near the mid 80s, then trend to the mid to upper 80s through Sunday. Lows range from the lower 70s inland to the mid 70s at the coast. /29 MARINE...The developing Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten off the Florida Atlantic coast and Tropical Storm Harvey over southeast Texas combine to maintain light to occasionally moderate northeast to easterly flow over the local marine area through Monday night. Winds then shift to more southeasterly and then southerly heading into midweek as high pressure builds into the eastern Gulf and the remnants of Harvey finally push north into eastern Texas. Seas remain around 2 to 4 feet through at least midweek. Expect locally higher winds and seas in and around scattered showers and thunderstorms through the period. /49 && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. FL...None. MS...None.
