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 Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jun 20, 7:06 AM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 7:06 AM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
706 AM CDT Tue Jun 20 2017
.DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.
&&
.AVIATION...
12Z issuance...Periods of rain will continue to move across the
northern gulf coast region through tonight. MVFR ceilings and
visibilities expected through much of the day, with periods of IFR
conditions likely, especially right along the coast. East winds
will increase to between 15 to 20 knots, with occasional gusts to
near 25 knots. /22
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 500 AM CDT Tue Jun 20 2017/
NEAR TERM /Now Through Tuesday night/...Satellite imagery
currently shows Potential Tropical Cyclone (PTC) 3 spinning over
the south-central Gulf as it continues to move to the north-
northwest, with further development into a tropical or subtropical
cyclone expected sometime later today per the National Hurricane
Center's latest outlook. This system is expected to remain
sheared, with the greatest impacts occurring well to the east of
its center. Even now, water vapor imagery indicates a substantial
fetch of deep-layer tropical moisture streaming northward from
the northern Caribbean into the central and north-central Gulf.
Primary expected impacts over our area through Thursday include:
- Potential for significant heavy rainfall and flooding over along
and south of Highway 84.
- Increased risk of deadly rip currents and high surf along the
beaches of Alabama and northwest Florida Panhandle.
- Tropical storm force wind gusts over the coastal waters of Alabama
and the northwest Florida Panhandle out 60 NM.
As for today and tonight, the threat for heavy rain begins near the
coast and gradually moves inland throughout the day as waves of
showers and thunderstorms come onshore in an airmass characterized
by PWATs of 2.25+ inches. A Flash Flood Watch begins at 700 AM CDT
this morning for areas generally along and south of Highway 84.
Increasing swells also bring a high risk of dangerous rip currents
and high surf to the local beaches. Thus, a High Rip Current Risks
and High Surf Advisory is in effect for all coastal zones. Expect
high temps to reach the upper 70's to low 80's this afternoon and
lows tonight to range from the low to mid 70's. /49
SHORT TERM /Wednesday Through Thursday night/...The tropical
system over the northwest Gulf of Mexico will turn more to the
north making landfall near the Texas/Louisiana border on Thursday.
Deep gulf moisture east of the system will continue to advect
northward over the region, with precipitable water values
continuing to climb to between 2.4 to 2.7 inches. Ongoing showers
with embedded scattered thunderstorms will persist through the
short term, with widespread storm rainfall totals of 4 to 8
inches through Thursday, with isolated areas greater than 10
inches possible. This heavy rainfall could result in significant
areas of flash flooding. In addition, minor to moderate flooding
on area rivers will be possible, but this will ultimately be
dependent on where the heaviest rain falls. Some of the
thunderstorms in the outer rainbands will have the potential to
become strong to marginal severe through the short term, with
damaging thunderstorm wind gusts and isolated tornados the main
threats. Winds will turn more to the south as the system center
passes west of the region. These strong southerly winds will
maintain high surf conditions and minor coastal flooding along
area beaches, inlets and deltas with one to three feet of
inundation. High risk of rip currents will also persist through
the period. /22
LONG TERM /Friday Through Monday/...The system is expected to get
absorbed into the westerlies Friday. Moist zonal flow otherwise
prevails with chances of showers and storms trending down toward
seasonable levels late this week into the weekend. /22
MARINE...Potential Tropical Cyclone 3 currently over the south-
central Gulf is expected to develop into a tropical or subtropical
storm sometime later today as it tracks towards the north-northwest
into the northwestern Gulf. Tropical storm force wind gusts and
seas building to 12 to 16 feet expected over the Alabama and
northwest Florida offshore waters out to 60 nautical miles Tuesday
into Wednesday afternoon, with small craft advisory conditions
likely lingering beyond that into Thursday. Small craft advisory
conditions are expected over bays and sounds through Wednesday
afternoon. /49
