What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Nov 11, 12:05 PM CST, 1 hour 23 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 11, 12:05 PM CST, 1 hour 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 1205 PM CST Mon Nov 11 2019 .UPDATE... For 18Z Aviation. && .SYNOPSIS... A shortwave trough was quickly moving east over the Deep South region this morning in fast zonal flow aloft. A broad positively- tilted longwave trough extended from near Hudson Bay Canada southwest through the High Plains and into Colorado. A shortwave ridge was present over the Rio Grande Valley of southwest Texas ahead of a closed upper low near central Baja California. A potent surface arctic front extended from the Colorado Front Range south into northern Texas. This front extended northeast through Oklahoma and into southern Missouri and stretched further northeast roughly along the Ohio River Valley into the New England region. The 11/12Z BMX sounding contained a sharp surface inversion up to near 960 mb followed by a strong subsidence inversion around 885 mb. Ample dry air was present higher aloft. Winds were from the southwest off of the surface to near 600 mb up to 30 kts while a more zonal flow prevailed above 600 mb with speeds increasing to around 90 kts around 180mb. 05 && .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 0924 AM CST Mon Nov 11 2019/ Through Tonight. Minor adjustments made to sky, wind, PoP and temperature trends with high level clouds arriving from the west will continue to overspread the forecast area for the rest of the day. Surface winds will increase from the south and southwest this afternoon and evening as the arctic front approaches from the northwest. Expect rain chances to increase from mid afternoon into early evening far west/northwest followed by high chances for rain this evening through overnight from west to east. Highs today will range from the mid 60's far north to the low 70's south. Low-level temperatures will quickly fall this evening through Tuesday morning as the arctic front slides southeast across the area. Expect temperatures to fall into the upper 20's far north to the low 30's central before all the precipitation ends near and north of the I-20 corridor where rain mixed with sleet and freezing rain will be possible before the precipitation ends Tuesday morning. A freeze warning will go into effect roughly along and northwest of a line from Demopolis to Calera to Anniston at 3 am Tuesday morning and will expand southeast to include areas along and north of a line from Selma to Wetumpka to Auburn at 3 pm Tuesday. The rest of the forecast area will be included in the Freeze Warning at 8 pm Tuesday night. The freeze warning will remain in effect for the entire area until 9 am Wednesday morning. 05 .LONG TERM... /Updated at 0315 AM CST Mon Nov 11 2019/ Tuesday through Sunday. Precipitation should be ongoing across much of the area at 6 AM Tuesday in association with frontal lift and approaching 500 mb shortwave. Compared to 24 hours ago, models have trended a few degrees colder with the airmass behind the Arctic front, while delaying the end of the precipitation due to an increase in omega above 700 mb. With surface temperatures of 29-32F and a shallow cold layer at 925 mb reaching -6C, rain changing to freezing rain and ice pellets appears to be a possibility in a narrow band near and northwest of I-59 from 4 AM to 8 AM. The northwest extent of the precipitation is a point of disagreement within hi-res and global models, and the precipitation could end sooner than expected. NAM forecast soundings indicate saturated profiles up to 250 mb, suggesting a potential for brief bursts of ice pellets. There would be a very low, non-zero chance of impacts if this occurs, but we are not officially expecting any impacts at this time. Precipitation will quickly end from northwest to southeast after 8 AM and be completely out of our forecast area by noon. As the unusually cold airmass settles in across the region, record-tying or record-breaking temperatures are possible on Wednesday morning. Temperatures should moderate on Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday as warm advection occurs ahead of an upstream shortwave. Models are still in disagreement over the evolution of this system, and the northward extent of potential rainfall remains uncertain. Only a slight chance of showers was added to our southeast counties for Thursday night. The associated shortwave should move to our east on Friday and Saturday, leading to cool and dry conditions through the weekend. 87/Grantham && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF Discussion. The general terminal forecast trend has been held intact this period. Increasing cloudiness can be expected through the afternoon and into early evening, but ceilings will generally remain above 5k ft through at least 02z. Winds will be south to southwest generally 5-10kts, but a few gusts to around 20kts may sporadically occur. An arctic cold front moves into Central Alabama this evening with a wind shift occurring around 02-03z to the northwest. Simultaneously, restrictive ceilings invade the area around 025 with VCSH. Much of the rain will be post-frontal and expect the best rain chances from 04z-13z, rather rapidly moving from west to east. Ceilings will drop into the 015 neighborhood in light to moderate rain. Winds will also pick up, with northerly winds becoming 13-16kts gusting to 25-30 kts. There will be a brief period where the rain may mix with or change to some ice pellets. Mentioned this occurrence as a PROB30 at this time with no accumulations expected. The rain ends between 14-20z but winds remain gust through the afternoon. 75 && .FIRE WEATHER...
