$$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 Dec 27, 5:44 AM CST, 2 hours 50 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 27, 5:44 AM CST, 2 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 544 AM CST Thu Dec 27 2018 .UPDATE... For 12Z Aviation. && .SHORT TERM... Today and Tonight. --It is going to rain across ALL of Central Alabama before the short term period is over, with flooding possible-- So looking at radar and watching cameras, we are already seeing some light rain across the area. This is in association with an effective warm front on the backside of the high pressure system to our northeast. We are beginning to see an increase in southerly flow, thus increasing the moisture levels across the area. A fetch of precipitation is beginning to develop across southern Alabama and will stretch generally along the and west of the I-65 corridor this morning. Placed the highest pops this morning with that fetch and expected development. As we work into the afternoon, we will see an uptick in the coverage across the west in advance of the large line of showers and embedded thunderstorms that will be moving slowly through Mississippi. Ahead of the line expected scattered to numerous showers to develop along with cloudy conditions. Look for the line of the heavier rain and a few thunderstorms to work into the northwest between 1 and 3 pm and then slowly slide east through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening. Do not expect the line itself to be past the I-65 corridor until after sunset but those scattered showers ahead of the line will provide most of the area with rain, so went with definite pops across the whole area. The best storm totals before sunset will be in the west though. A few stronger storms can not be ruled out in the southwest as the line moves into the region, but with the amount of clouds and rain ahead of the line the chances for severe weather seems to be marginal at best. Again the big concern with this event will the heavy rain and possible flooding. Besides the rain, gradient winds will be likely through the day and could result in falling trees and hazardous driving conditions through the evening. As we move into the dark period, rain and thunderstorms will be ongoing in the west and will continue to slide east through the night. We may see a beginning of the end in the west by sunrise, but rain looks fairly widespread through the period. Any flash flooding in the west will likely occur before sunset, so will need to stay weather aware if you live or travel in low-lying areas. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s to mid 60s this afternoon and will stay in that general range through the overnight. 16 .LONG TERM... Friday through Wednesday. The long-term period will carry a consistent theme of wet and unsettled conditions for a large portion of the southeastern US, including here in central Alabama. Synoptically, a broad split-flow pattern will feature a persistent mid/upper-level ridge settling over the Bahamas and a lingering longwave trough across the heart of the CONUS. Resultant southwest mid/upper-level winds and interaction with the sub-tropical jet position our area for multiple opportunities of locally heavy rainfall as mid-level perturbations traverse northeastward from Texas to New England. Streams and rivers across the area will continue to remain swollen as soil remains saturated and water runoff collects into local tributaries. The Flash Flood Watch beginning at 12 PM Thursday will remain in effect until 6 PM Friday evening as a second round of rainfall is expected to move through the area along a frontal boundary/axis of low-level confluent flow. A 30-40 kt southwesterly low-level jet will continue to transport Gulf moisture (current expected PWs of ~1.6-1.7") Friday morning, which is climatologically very high. Thursday through Friday rainfall totals are currently forecast to range 2-4", with locally higher amounts possible. Drier/cooler air is expected to advect in from the northwest overnight on Friday & into Saturday behind the surface front and provide a break in the rainfall. However, flow aloft will remain southwesterly overall allowing another round of isentropic ascent and Gulf moisture to return to the area on Saturday afternoon/evening. For now, only expecting scattered light to moderate rain showers to develop in response to this, though activity is expected to gradually increase in coverage and intensity heading into Sunday as a warm front is aided by increasingly organized ageostrophic forcing. This period of rain and unsettled weather is expected through Tuesday evening and into Wednesday. It may not be until late next week that indications of relief and drier weather occurs from an eastward shift in the trough/ridge setup across the area. 40/Sizemore && .AVIATION... 12Z TAF Discussion. Deteriorating conditions to begin this morning. Winds are already gusty from the southwest and will continue to be strong a slow moving system slides through area over the next 24 hours. Right now light rain with little impact is moving through the area. Ceilings are beginning to drop into the MVFR conditions. Once ceilings drop there will not be much improvement at all. Conditions worsen after 20Z at TCL as a slow moving line of showers and a few thunderstorm begins to impact the area from west to east. Visibility and ceilings should drop to IFR conditions with the heavier rains. 16 && .FIRE WEATHER... Clouds and rain will continue to increase across the area during the day, with widespread coverage of rain late this afternoon through the overnight period and into Friday. A prolonged period of cloudy and rainy conditions are expected through next week. Relative humidity values will remain above critical values.
