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 Nov 11, 5:43 AM CST, 5 hours 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 11, 5:43 AM CST, 5 hours 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Mobile AL 543 AM CST Sun Nov 11 2018 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... 12Z issuance...VFR conditions through about 12/03z followed by MVFR to IFR cigs and visibilities through 12.12z. Lower cigs and visibilities mostly in low stratus, light fog and rain moving in from the west this evening and overnight, Winds will be northeast at 5 to 10 knots today becoming northeast to east at 8 to 13 knots this evening and overnight. 32/ee && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 504 AM CST Sun Nov 11 2018/ NEAR TERM /Now Through Sunday night/...A broad mid to upper trof now mostly over the western conus will begin to deepen today in response to another vigorous short wave diving south over the central and lower Rockies then tracking eastward on the base of the trof reaching the lower plains states by early Mon morning. To the east a developing surface to h85 low develops over the western Gulf and much of Texas ahead of the main upper system progged to shift east northeast towards the mid to lower Ms river valley through late Mon. With this pattern expect increasing clouds moving in from the west today and tonight with widespread rain developing ahead of the low center initially from widespread layer lift on the back side of a departing low level ridge of high pressure to the east and northeast. Light rain will begin spreading east across much of inland southeast Ms and western parts of southwest AL by this afternoon, moving further eastward over remaining areas of the forecast area this evening, followed by widespread moderate to heavy rain over most locations of the forecast area late tonight through sunrise Mon morning. The best coverage of the heavier precip late tonight and early Mon will be generally west of a line stretching from Andalusia AL to Pensacola FL by 6 am CST Mon morning. Some low stratus and patchy fog will also be possible by early Mon morning. With unseasonably cool air still trapped below 5kft through tonight surface temps will continue to be well below seasonal norms through tonight. Highs today will range from the mid to upper 50s over most of the western half of the forecast area and the lower to middle 60s to the east and along the coast. Lows tonight will range from the upper 40s well to the north and the lower to middle 50s further southward generally to the I-10 corridor and the upper 50s to lower 60s along the coast. 32/ee SHORT TERM /Monday Through Tuesday night/...A deeply moist southwest flow pattern aloft will develop across the central Gulf Coast region Monday and Monday night well in advance of an amplifying mid to upper level trough over the Plains states. An area of surface low pressure will develop over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico early Monday morning and will quickly lift northeastward toward southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama by early Monday evening in response to a shortwave trough lifting northeastward across this same region. Short range model guidance is in good agreement that widespread rain showers will develop across our forecast area through the day Monday as large scale ascent overspreads the area in the diffluent mid to upper flow ahead of the upper trough axis. A warm front will likely lift northward across the western Florida panhandle and into south central Alabama ahead of the approaching surface low late Monday morning into Monday afternoon. The strongest low level jet on the order of 40-50 knots will likely be in place along the boundary through midday Monday before the stronger low level jet dynamics quickly lift northeast into northeast Alabama and northern Georgia through early Monday evening. The primary impact from this pattern will be the potential for heavy rainfall across our entire area through Monday evening. Widespread light to moderate rain should continue into Monday night, but there will be potential for an additional round of heavier rain to lift northeastward from the Gulf of Mexico into the western Florida panhandle and south central Alabama late Monday night into Tuesday morning courtesy of a secondary shortwave trough embedded in the southwest flow. The latest forecast continues to advertise widespread 2 to 4 inches of rain across the area, with localized amounts over 5 inches possible. Will wait to take a closer look at the higher resolution model data arriving later today to try to get a better pinpoint on the most favored locations for heavier rainfall, but a Flash Flood Watch may be considered for portions of our area for the Monday through early Tuesday time frame later today or tonight. For now we will continue to advertise the Limited flooding risk in our local graphics and Hazardous Weather Outlook. There will also be a low end severe weather threat along southern/ coastal portions of the forecast area from mid to late Monday morning through perhaps mid to late Monday afternoon as a zone of weak instability (MLCAPE 500-1000 J/KG) moves inland over these areas along and south of the warm front and coincides with the stronger jet dynamics during this period of time. A few of the cells along the boundary and in the warm sector may be capable of producing localized wind damage and possibly a tornado. The latest Day 2 outlook from SPC keeps the Marginal severe risk in place over our southern CWA Monday, which looks reasonable. The cold front will pass across our region Monday night, but a zone of enhanced deep layer moisture and lift remains in place across our forecast area in the cold sector behind the boundary Tuesday, keeping a good chance of rain in place through the day. Rain chances should gradually decrease into Tuesday evening/night as the moisture axis slowly makes eastward progress. Will keep low POPs in place over the central and eastern zones for Tuesday night. /21 LONG TERM /Wednesday Through Saturday/...Medium range guidance is in agreement that an upper level low will pinch somewhere in the vicinity of the ArkLaTex Tuesday night, but differ on when this feature will finally be pulled northeastward toward the Tennessee and Ohio Valley region. The ECMWF guidance is noticeably slower with the ejection of the upper low/trough axis, and thereby keeps the moist southwest flow aloft and associated continued rain chances in place over our area through Wednesday night. Given that this trend was also noticed last night, have opted to keep a slight chance of rain in the forecast Wednesday and Wednesday night. The increased cloud cover and slower movement of the trough would mean slightly warmer overnight low temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday nights, meaning a freeze would be less likely. We will still keep lows in the 30s both nights over the interior, but did raise them slightly from the previous forecast. Much below normal daytime highs will persist Tuesday through Thursday. Temperatures should slowly moderate into the weekend, but still remain below normal. Dry weather is currently anticipated Thursday through Saturday. /21 MARINE...A moderate to strong northeast wind flow will diminish later today and this evening as a strong surface ridge of high pressure to the north shifts east to the mid Atlantic coast. A moderate to strong easterly flow will redevelop late tonight and continue through Monday ahead of a developing surface low and strong cold front that is expected to move south over the northern Gulf Mon night into early Tue. Widespread rain with embedded thunderstorms will develop ahead of the low center and cold front beginning this evening continuing through Wed in the wake of the front that moves across the marine area early Tue morning. A strong offshore flow is expected in the wake of the front Tue through Wed with seas building to 6 to 8 feet well offshore by Tue evening continuing through early Wed morning. Winds and seas will slowly subside Wed through Thu. Small craft advisories will likely be required ahead and in the wake of the cold front Mon through Wed night. 32/ee && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. FL...None. MS...None.
