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 May 9, 6:29 PM CDT, 2 hours 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 9, 6:29 PM CDT, 2 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Mobile AL 629 PM CDT Thu May 9 2019 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... 00Z issuance...Conditions across the area at 00z are general mid level MVFR or higher, except for low end MVFR over the I-10 corridor along a south-southeastward moving outflow boundary. This boundary is bringing widespread rain-showers and a few thunderstorms, with general rainshowers as one moved inland. As the outflow continues south of the coast, conditions will improve to general MVFR to VFR and are expected to last into the overnight hours with general northerly winds between 5 and 10 knots. CIGs and VISBYs will drop to low end MVFR/IFR levels after 06z as fog/stratus forms, especially over areas along that have received substantial rain during the afternoon/evening hours and winds become light. Conditions Friday will rise to general MVFR/VFR levels during the morning, but another round of showers and thunderstorms will bring low end MVFR conditions again with southerly winds rising to 10 to 15 knots by afternoon. /16 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 406 PM CDT Thu May 9 2019/ NEAR TERM /Now Through Friday/...A decaying MCS will continue to slowly sink toward the coast through early this evening. The severe threat will continue to decrease through the late afternoon as well, as the upper dynamics continue to pull well away to the north. An isolated severe storm cannot be completely ruled out with damaging winds the main threat. Locally heavy rain will also be possible, however the main flooding risk is expected to remain north and west of the area. A frontal boundary will remained stalled from northern Alabama across central Mississippi through Friday night. This will maintain a warm and unstable airmass over our area with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across the northwestern half of the area and scattered coverage over the southeastern half. Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Friday. Temps on Friday will range from the upper 70s and low 80s across the northwest to low to mid 80s across the southeast. /13 SHORT TERM /Friday night Through Sunday night/...An upper trof amplifies over the central states through Saturday night then progresses into the eastern states during the remainder of the period. This pattern will maintain a southwesterly flow aloft with a series of shortwaves moving across the forecast area through Sunday morning, which then diminish and exit to the east Sunday afternoon as the upper trof advances into the eastern states. A surface low is expected to develop near the Texas coast Friday night and move off into the northeast states, bringing a trailing cold front through the forecast area Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening. MLCAPE values increase to 1500-2000 J/kg over much of the area on Saturday with values of 1000-1500 J/kg expected for Sunday. Shear coincident with the better instability will be limited (0-1 km Helicity < 100 m2/s2) although higher values will be possible in regions of lower instability. Model soundings show dry air centered near 700 mb on Saturday which will enhance downdraft production, but also a potential cap near 750 mb. Model soundings on Sunday show more moisture indicating less of potential for strong downdraft production. Each day supports the development of some strong storms each afternoon into the early evening, but Saturday, with the higher instability and mid level dry air, also has the potential for a few severe storms. The better forcing (primarily isentropic lift) will be along and west of I-65 on Saturday where will have likely pops with chance pops further to the east. Categorical pops follow for most of the area on Sunday as the front moves into the area. Highs on Saturday will be 80 to 85 west of I-65 with mid 80s further to the east, then highs on Sunday will be mainly in the lower 80s. Lows Friday night and Saturday night typically range from the upper 60s inland to the lower 70s at the coast. Lows Sunday night in the wake of the cold front range from the upper 50s well inland to the mid 60s at the coast. A moderate risk of rip currents is expected through the period. /29 LONG TERM /Monday Through Thursday/...A surface high builds into the region through Monday night in the wake of the cold front and lingers through Tuesday night while the eastern states upper trof continues off into the western Atlantic. A well defined shortwave trof (remnants of an earlier upper low) meanwhile advances across the south central states, then weakens while continuing eastward along the northern Gulf and adjacent coastal areas on Thursday while a larger scale upper trof amplifies over the eastern states. A surface low is expected to develop well to the north with the amplifying upper trof, and bring a trailing weak cold front into the forecast area on Thursday. Mainly dry conditions are expected through Tuesday, then slight chance to chance pops follow for Wednesday and Thursday as the weakening shortwave trof approaches followed by the weak front moving into the area. /29 MARINE...A moderate south to southeast wind flow will decrease tonight into Friday in response to high pressure slowly shifting eastward, combined with a weak cold front slowly approaching from the northwest. The weak cold front will eventually move off the coast Sunday night into early Monday leading to a light offshore flow Monday and Monday night. /13 && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
