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 Feb 11, 5:59 AM CST, 4 hours 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 5:59 AM CST, 4 hours 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 559 AM CST Sun Feb 11 2018 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... 11/12Z issuance...IFR CIGs and occasional IFR VISBYs in and near heavier showers and thunderstorms this morning then more likely prevailing MVFR by this afternoon. IFR conditions once again tonight with low clouds and fog. Surface winds primarily southeast to south through late this afternoon into early evening, but shifting to the northwest by late evening as a cold front passes through most of the area. 12/DS && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 456 AM CST Sun Feb 11 2018/ NEAR TERM /Now Through Sunday night/...The large positive-tilt midlevel trough over the western portion of the country that we have been discussing will move to the central portion of the country and become less amplified through tonight. This will help push a surface cold frontal boundary that is currently approaching the lower Mississippi River Valley into the Southeastern States today and be extending from northeast Alabama to the Mississippi coast by early this evening and then likely move to just east of our forecast area by sunrise Monday morning. Out ahead of this surface front, a moist southerly flow will continue to bring abundant moisture into our region, with PWATS ranging from 1.5 inches west to 1.7 inches east across our forecast area. A series of mid level shortwaves will move northeast across the region in the southwesterly flow aloft, providing enhanced lift over the low level focus of the frontal boundary. Thus expect likely to categorical PoPs across the region today into this evening, with the higher chances over the eastern portions of the forecast area. With the abundant moisture in place, expect that the widespread showers and thunderstorms will be very efficient rainfall producers. Over the eastern portions of the forecast area where we expect the showers and storms to be most numerous and to persist the longest today, 1.5 to 3 inches of rainfall is likely, with up to around 4 inches possible. As such we have an elevated flood threat in that area, and have issued a Flood Watch for the eastern half of our forecast area today into early this evening, where we could see some flooding issues, mainly in form of flooding of low lying and poor drainage and as well as urban areas. Smaller creeks and streams will also be susceptible to flooding. Isolated flash flooding is possible. Over the western half of the forecast area we will still see some heavy rainfall, although it should be diminishing earlier in the day. We still maintain a limited flood threat for those areas, where localized nuisance type flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas, as well as urban areas, will be possible. As far as the severe weather potential for today, risk appears slightly lower than yesterday, as low level jet is expected to be weaker and with the overnight convection diluting already meager instabilities. There could be a few strong storms, especially near the coast this morning, but only a marginal risk of severe storms through tonight. Rains will be ending from west to east tonight, with most of the remaining showers and storms east of I-65 and over the western Florida panhandle by late tonight. Patchy fog early this morning and again late tonight, especially near the coast. Mild temperatures continue today and tonight, but cooling somewhat overnight over our interior northwestern counties as those areas will be more firmly in the cooler air behind the front by sunrise Monday. 12/DS SHORT TERM /Monday Through Tuesday night/... Surface front pushes through Alabama Monday morning with winds shifting out of the north. Mid and upper level southwesterly flow persists over the region throughout the day allowing for the moist overhead air column to remain dominate. The maximum precipitable water axis is shifted to the extreme east of our forecast area. As such models are indicating a line of showers and storms may still be over northwest Florida by day break however most areas will only see overcast. Surface high builds into the southeast overnight as the mid-level flow becomes more zonal. The associated dry air shifts south into southern Alabama Tuesday nullifying rain chances in northern portions of the county for the day. Relatively clear skies could allow for temperatures to reach well above normal into the mid 70s which would in turn promote surface based CAPE values at or above 1000 J/kg in the afternoon. Therefore isolated thunderstorms could be possible late in the afternoon along the coast. DJ/17 LONG TERM /Wednesday Through Saturday/... Low level ridge shifts east overnight into Wednesday allowing PWATS to increase back into the 1.4-1.6 inch range across the forecast area and winds to become more southerly. Though at the same time a mid-level ridge over the gulf the shifts north providing ample subsidence which may hamper convection Wednesday. Thursday sees a similar story with the aforementioned ridge advecting in drier mid level air over the Gulf Coast. Consequently Thursday could see boarder line record highs in the afternoon. A longwave trough axis over the Great Lakes promotes a strong a cold front over the southern Ohio river valley. This front pushes south towards the Gulf Coast as we head into the weekend along which there could be some increased rain chances. However models are still inconsistent in the long range on whether or not enough moisture will be present along the front for realized showers. DJ/17 MARINE...A light to moderate southerly flow continues through Sunday night while a cold front slowly approaches the marine area from the north. Widespread showers and storms, some strong storms possible, expected today into this evening. Locally higher winds and seas should be expected near the stronger storms. Patchy fog is expected to persists over the bays and near shore waters through Sunday. The front moves into the marine area on Monday and stalls with winds becoming more easterly. The easterly flow then prevails on Tuesday and becomes more southeasterly on Wednesday into late week. 11/DS && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
