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 Birmingham, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Feb 9, 5:59 PM CST, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 9, 5:59 PM CST, 2 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 559 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2020 .UPDATE... Aviation Discussion. && .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 0320 PM CST Sun Feb 09 2020/ .SHORT TERM... Through Monday. Weak ridging over the Southeast U.S. will provide enough subsidence for minimal cloud cover and a dry forecast this evening. Strong southwest flow aloft and a rapidly moving northern stream short wave trof will pull deeper moisture northeast into north Alabama later tonight. Showers will likely arrive in the northwest counties between 3 am and 6 am Monday. The short wave trof will push a low level front to the Alabama and Tennessee Monday afternoon. The axis of heavier rainfall will set-up across Marion and Winston counties, where rainfall totals thru Monday afternoon will be in the 1 to 2 inch range. Rainfall totals will drop off quickly closer to the I-20 corridor, where totals will be in the 0.5 to 1 inch range. The air mass will be stable in the the low levels, but some elevated instability north of I-20 could produce isolated thunderstorms. Temperatures will be milder tonight than previous mornings, with lows in the mid to upper 40s across the far eastern counties, and lower 50s elsewhere. A tightening surface pressure gradient will keep winds in the 5-10 mph range overnight. 58/rose .LONG TERM... /Updated at 0320 PM CST Sun Feb 09 2020/ /Continued rainy period with associated flood risk; rain totals maximized near & north of I-20 at ~4-7" for both events; mid-week severe potential/ Monday night through Tuesday. Training rainfall, heavy at times, will persist near & north of Interstate 20 Monday night as a shortwave moves by, coupled with a low-level jet, anamously high precipitable water, and some MU- CAPE up against the front. On top of already saturated ground, this rainfall will bring a threat of flooding. Additionally, an embedded strong storm cannot be ruled out with this first wave of convection. The period of training and at times heavy rain should ease through the post-sunrise morning hours on Tuesday; however, areas of shower activity are expected through the afternoon & night. The stalled front is forecast to begin moving northward late in this period in response to an approaching trough & developing surface low toward our west. This evolving setup will bring our next period of active weather. Wednesday through Thursday. Before today, with some variability, models hinted that our area could become involved within a warm sector as the previously stalled front moved northward. This scenario has continued with the last few runs of guidance, resulting in at least some severe risk needing to be advertised. As the upper trough nears, strong wind fields will overspread Central Alabama through Wednesday. While a surface low center is progged to skirt by toward our northwest, surface trajectories are modeled to veer with time; however, low-level shear will be quite strong. Thermo parameters aren't all that impressive due to weak lapse rates & the presence of a couple layers of warmer air aloft. Even so, the GFS/EURO are managing weak CAPE values. In all, there's at least some potential for a line of storms to produce damaging straight-line winds and a couple tornadoes. This threat looks to be focused late Wednesday/6PM into early Thursday/6AM. To start, will go with a 'slight risk' where an overlap of parameters will exist & a 'marginal risk' where the low-level jet may have a tendency to outrun the front with surface winds having also veered even more-so. Refinements will occur as we get closer to Wednesday and more guidance becomes available. Graphics are available on our web page and social media. On top of this, the cold front will bring another round of heavy rain. Thankfully the activity should move along quickly, but locations near Interstate 20 could still tack on another ~1-2 inches. This will result in a renewed flood concern. The front will exit stage right during the afternoon. Friday through Saturday. We'll close the work week with a cooler, drier air mass & clear conditions. It looks like we'll have another system affecting the region into the second half of the weekend. 89^GSatterwhite && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF Discussion. VFR conds expected thru 12z with a mix of mid and high clouds streaming across the area. Moisture will increase by early Monday morning, with cigs falling to 3kft after sunrise. Flight conditions will deteriorate through the day, as rain spreads across the northern half of the area. Reduced cigs and vis are expected, with most sites with MVFR conditions. Cannot rule out periods of IFR by late afternoon. Expect a slow expansion southward of rainfall, and will not include showers at MGM until after 10/21Z. Some guidance is showing a period Monday morning of wind sheer across the north , as winds just off the surface increase from the south. Expect surface winds to also increase from the south, at 7- 10kts during the time, and will leave wind shear out of the forecast. Will re-assess expected surface winds with the next issuance. 14 && .FIRE WEATHER... Rain will begin moving into the area tonight across northwest Alabama. An axis of heavy rain and a few storms is then expected near and north of the Interstate 20 corridor through early Tuesday, with showers elsewhere. There will be a break in the heavy rain Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday, though periods of showers will still occur. Another round of rain and storms moves through late Wednesday into early Thursday as a cold front moves through the region. Dry weather is expected Friday into Saturday, though another system could move into the region for the second half of the weekend. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
