$$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 11, 2:29 AM CST, 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 2:29 AM CST, 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 229 AM CST Tue Feb 11 2020 .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 0224 AM CST Tue Feb 11 2020/ Through Wednesday. The northern push of the warm front has really advanced northward and is now near the I-22/I-20 corridors this morning. The warm front stretches to a low pressure system in northern Mississippi near Tupelo. From here a cold front stretches south and west to Jackson and then then Shreveport. Widespread rain and occasional lightning is possible until the cold front clears. There is a potential for the cold front to be south of the I-20 corridor by midday and then the southeast by 6 pm. There is a small chance at seeing some strong storms in the south and east during the afternoon as temperatures warm up into the mid to upper 70s. Yes there is some instability, but with lapse rates of 5.2 to 5.3 and winds out of the sw, parallel to the front, severe storms will be hard to come by through the afternoon. Perhaps a strong wind gust is possible at times. With that said The cold front never really exits the region and will stall briefly Tuesday night before lifting as a warm front Wednesday morning. Best chances after today will be in the north and west. As for the flooding potential, we will continue with the Flash Flood watch through 6 pm as really any heavy rains over the already saturated ground and backlogged streams/rivers could result in flash flooding. At this time the only warnings we have are areal and river flood warnings, but will still monitor the heavier bands through the night. There is still a potential for another 1 to 1.5 inches of rain as the front moves northward, however, rain rates will not be as high as the morning and afternoon, so the rain will fall over a longer period. 16 .LONG TERM... /Updated at 0224 AM CST Tue Feb 11 2020/ Wednesday through Thursday Morning. The potential for severe weather Wednesday night into Thursday morning continues. A surface low develops in Eastern TX and lifts through the ArkLaTex Wednesday morning. This will lift the warm front north of our area with mid 60s dewpoints spreading across the area. The cold front is expected to cross the Mississippi River during the afternoon/early evening hours, then push across MS Wednesday evening/night. At this point, there could be some scattered showers develop in the warm sector across Central AL, but for the most part, we should remain mostly rain-free through the day on Wednesday. Winds gradually increase in response to the tightening pressure gradient as the surface low lifts to our northwest. We could see some modest destabilization just along and ahead of the frontal boundary itself as it moves through late Wednesday night through the overnight hours; however, there's increasing confidence that instability really won't be that high across Central AL. Mid- level lapse rates remain low, as the past several guidance runs have indicated, which overall produces a skinny cape profile. The system continues to show very high shear given the track of the low itself. I think there could be the potential for some strong to severe storms in roughly the northwestern two-thirds of Central AL with the main threat being damaging winds. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out, but surface winds are veered to the southwest and the shear vectors generally support a unidirectional hodograph, which will limit the overall tornado threat. As the front pushes southeastward, the surface low lifts well to the northeast (into Western PA), which limits forcing and veers the surface winds even more. This should support the downward trend in the strength of the QLCS as it reaches our southeastern areas. The Euro continues to throw some uncertainty in, as it has been consistent with slightly more instability that persists through most of the night, even across our southeast. However, it's currently the outlier in guidance, so I'm going to start weighing the forecast more towards the higher resolution models. Overall, the biggest changes to the severe weather forecast are increasing confidence in the marginal to slight risk across the area and a shift for the potential for damaging winds being the main threat. It's also important to mention that flash flood guidance is likely to remain low for much of the area, so any additional rainfall with the storms along the frontal boundary could lead to localized flooding. The system should be progressive enough to limit the widespread flash flood threat, but we can't rule out the possibility that a few stronger storms producing rain rates the exceed the flash flood guidance. The front moves south and east of our area Thursday morning, ending any significant rain chances for Central AL. 25/Owen Thursday night through Friday. After frontal passage occurs across Central Alabama and much of the Deep South by Thursday evening, a temporary period of dry weather will accompany noticeably cooler temperatures as a stable continental airmass takes over. A stout 1038-1040 mb high pressure is progged to build across the Ohio Valley, thus northerly flow will keep our area amidst cooler air. Lows in the 20s/30s are possible Thu and Fri nights. This could lead to a few slick spots by Friday morning in sheltered locations across the north if any residual water is on roadways. Otherwise, lack of precip will keep most areas dry, with temperatures rebounding into the 40s/50s by Friday afternoon. Saturday through Monday. By the weekend the synoptic pattern will be in transition as broad split flow aloft also features a low-amplitude ridge developing across the Gulf, with mostly zonal flow across the eastern CONUS by Sunday. Sfc to 850 mb flow trajectories around the low-level ridge to our south may foster a few isentropic rain showers Saturday night/Sunday morning, though kept PoPs fairly conservative and below 'likely' until higher confidence is achieved. Through time the zonal configuration is expected to amplify as a trough moves across the Rockies and into the Plains. Warm, moist advection and ridging is forecast across the Southeast in response, with surface cyclogenesis expected across the Central Plains Monday morning. This sfc low should subsequently eject northeastward into the Upper Midwest by Monday night. With the return to southwesterly flow aloft and an axis of confluent 850 mb flow to our northwest Mon/Tue near a surface front, rain chances remain fairly elevated through the end of the long-term forecast period. When timing of these features become a little more consistent, will adjust/increase PoPs accordingly. 40/Sizemore && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF Discussion. MVFR to IFR ceilings right now across the north and east as low level moisture is in place as the warm front lifts northward. MGM and TOI are south of the front and have dropped fairly low as the rain has ended. The window for rain-free conditions will be large for MGM and TOI, so we may see some brief VFR conditions here this afternoon. The window is small for the northern sites as the warm front lifts north and the cold front slides in. Stay with MVFR skies at best here, but an hour or so of VFR can not be ruled out before the front works through. Once the front slides through between 00z north and 3z south rain chances will be limited to the northwest. 16 && .FIRE WEATHER... Periods of rain will continue through most of today. The overall wet pattern will continue through at least Thursday morning before a cold front moves out. Drier weather returns for a short break for Thursday night into Friday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
