What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Jan 20, 11:33 PM CST, 4 hours 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 20, 11:33 PM CST, 4 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED

1133 PM CST Sun Jan 20 2019

.DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

.AVIATION...
06Z issuance...VFR conditions will continue across the area into
the afternoon tomorrow. A light north wind at 5 to 10 knots will
slowly turn north-northeast by mid-morning. BB/03

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 548 PM CST Sun Jan 20 2019/

DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

AVIATION...
00Z issuance...VFR conditions will persist through the night
tonight. Northwest wind will relax to around 5 knots after
sunset. BB/03

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 346 PM CST Sun Jan 20 2019/

NEAR TERM /Now Through Monday/...Upper level trof axis pivots
eastward off the Mid-Atlantic coast tonight. In its wake, short-
wave ridging aloft overspreads the central Gulf coast region into
the day Monday. Surface high pressure axis slides eastward over
the Ohio River Valley by Monday. Winds are forecast to decouple
tonight. Resultant lighter winds combined with drier air and clear
skies tonight favors efficient radiational cooling processes.
Lows sink into the mid to upper 20s north of the coast. Under
sunny skies on Monday, highs in the mid 50s. Lows range from 9 to
13 degrees below normal and Monday's highs 4 to 8 degrees below
normal. Due to a dry low to mid level airmass, daytime mixing
lends a need to undercut guidance dewpoints by several degrees.
With these adjustments gridded RH values for Monday indicates
lowest values 26 to 31%. /10

SHORT TERM /Monday night Through Wednesday night/...A large,
strong surface high pressure system across the eastern conus,
with a central pressure of 1040mb across Ohio and a ridge
extending south to the southern Gulf of Mexico, will shift east
over the western Atlantic by midnight Tuesday night. This will
allow a light easterly Monday night to shift to the southeast on
Tuesday, and then to the south buy late Tuesday night into
Wednesday while the next cold front approaches from the northwest.
A broad upper ridge over the northern gulf and southern states
will also shift eastward as the next upper trough exits the
Rockies and desert southwest and dives southeast over the Great
Plains and northwest Mexico by late Tuesday afternoon. This upper
trough will then extend from the western Great Lakes, along the
length of the Mississippi River, to the Bay of Campeche by
midnight Wednesday night. Rain chances will increase Tuesday
afternoon through midweek ahead of the trough and cold front, with
an 80 percent chance of rain showers expected along and west of
Tombigbee River by late Tuesday night, with scattered to numerous
coverage to the east. Definite rain chances and a slight chance
of thunderstorms are forecast on Wednesday, with the precipitation
tapering off from west to east Wednesday evening as the strong
cold front moves south of the coast. /22

LONG TERM /Thursday Through Sunday/...Another dry period will
then resume as the upper trough moves east of the region Thursday
morning, followed by a reinforcing upper trough late Thursday
night into Friday. Surface high pressure will also build in from
the west throughout the day Thursday, followed by a reinforcing
cold front moving through the forecast area late Thursday night
into Friday. Forecast confidence is low after this point as the
GFS continues to the have the large upper trough over the eastern
conus reinforced even further through Sunday morning keeping the
area dry, while the ECMWF is much more progressive bringing yet
another upper trough that digs further south then the last and
approaches the region from the west Saturday night. The ECMWF
develops an associated surface low pressure area over the
northwest Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, and then tracks it east
across the northern gulf Saturday night before deepening to around
998mb by noon Sunday across the northeast gulf, with another
strong cold front pushing south through the forecast area Saturday
night. This scenario would bring a high probability of very cold
rain across the forecast area Saturday night through Sunday
afternoon. Due to the forecast confidence at this time, will go
with a blend of the models, keeping scattered rain showers in the
forecast during this time frame. /22

MARINE...Winds and seas subside tonight as surface high pressure
axis moves moves in from the west. Onshore flow strengthens by
Tuesday as next cold front moves eastward out of the Plains.
Strengthening onshore fetch causes seas to rebuild into the middle
of the week. Frontal passage brings next wind shift Wednesday
night and strong northwest flow in its wake to open up the
latter end of the week. Seas to remain elevated. Next chance of
rain comes mid week with the approach and passage of cold front.
