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 12, 3:24 AM CST, 1 hour 50 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 3:24 AM CST, 1 hour 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 324 AM CST Wed Feb 12 2020 .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 0325 AM CST Wed Feb 12 2020/ Today and Tonight. A surface low will lift northeastward through the ArkLaMiss and into the TN Valley today. As this happens, the warm front will lift to our north, placing Central AL in the warm sector for much of the day. I can't rule out some showers across the area this morning and afternoon, but coverage looks to be limited with the best chances in the far northwestern counties. Forecast guidance has been in good agreement with persistent cloud cover most of today, which should help limit the destabilization. Sounding profiles show a shallow saturated layer that would support the modeled cloud cover, which is likely due to the abundance of low level moisture from recent rains. The cold front approaches our western counties this evening into tonight as the surface low tracks just to our north and west. The increasing pressure gradient from the proximity of the low will lead to gusty winds. It's possible that these gradient winds could bring down some trees because of the saturated grounds. Strong to severe storms remain possible along the frontal boundary as it moves into our area. Instability will be modest, and lapse rates are on the lower end given the warm air aloft. Both should help limit the overall strength of the storms. However, the dynamic forcing is fairly strong along the line initially, and vertical shear is quite high. Therefore, I can't rule out the potential for severe storms that produce damaging winds. While the threat for a brief tornado cannot be completely ruled out, surface winds veer parallel to the front quickly, which will decrease the low level directional shear and thus limit the tornado threat. By midnight, the surface low has already lifted into West Virginia, and any shear becomes completely uni-directional along the line. Storm motions will likely be parallel to the front, so some training of storms is possible, which could increase the threat for localized flash flooding. WPC has highlighted this shift with a moderate risk in our far northwest, and we'll continue to carry the flash flood watch for portions of Central AL. As the front continues to move southeastward through the overnight hours, the forcing weakens with the low continuing to lift further away. The heights remain nearly neutral as the upper trough really doesn't make any eastward movement. These factors, combined with the weak lapse rates and decreasing instability, should lead to a gradual decrease in the convection along the front. I'll maintain the slight risk for the northwestern two-thirds of the area, with the areas in the southeast under a marginal (combination of Day 1 and Day 2 SPC outlooks). The front will move south and east of our area Thursday morning, ending any severe weather potential. 25/Owen .LONG TERM... /Updated at 0325 AM CST Wed Feb 12 2020/ Thursday night through Friday. Frontal passage will continue across much of the Southeast on Thursday night, with only a few lingering areas of overrunning light rain possible across the far southeast Thu evening. A much cooler/drier airmass will build across Central Alabama Thu night with northerly flow streaming from a stout high pressure centering near the mid Mississippi River Valley by Friday morning. Thus, a cold Fri morning is expected - with lows in the 20s/30s just before sunrise. With sub-freezing temperatures forecast, any lingering water on sheltered roadways across the north could freeze overnight. Motorists should exercise caution until temperatures rebound later in the morning. Highs Fri afternoon are forecast in the 40s/50s amidst the stable Canadian airmass with an amplified trough now passing overhead and to our east. Saturday through Tuesday. Zonal split-flow aloft will characterize much of the region by Saturday with a low-level subtropical ridge trying to develop across the Gulf. With time, flow trajectories across the western Gulf could permit some light isentropic rain across the area by Sunday, though this notion still varies amongst guidance. Have kept PoPs conservative for now, especially as QPF would likely remain on the lighter side anyway. By early next week the upper-level pattern is expected to become more amplified as a positively tilted longwave trough moves across the Rockies and into the Plains. This would likely foster cyclogenesis to our northwest as the Deep South/Gulf Coast experiences warm/moist advection and height rises. An axis of low-level confluent flow is expected to develop between the trough and ridge and generally collocate with a surface front - somewhere from the Southern Plains northeastward into the Ohio Valley. This will be the primary focus for rain/thunderstorm activity for Mon/Tue, but guidance remains wet overall amidst our saturating airmass. At some point this low pressure system would need to eject northeastward and drag the cold front into the Southeast, though persistent southwesterly flow aloft does not favor a lot of southeastward movement of the front. Due to uncertainties with timing/spatial extent of these features, PoPs were truncated through the long-term to <55% (below 'likely'). Slight chance thunderstorm mentioning was included Mon/Tue as forecast temperatures would suggest at least non-zero values of MUCAPE, though no severe weather is expected at this time. 40/Sizemore && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF Discussion. Only isolated rain showers are expected over the next few hours as post frontal rains from earlier have dissipated. Rain showers are expected to return in the morning Wednesday as the front should push back north as a warm front. Although there may be a few breaks in the rain, overall we remain in a wet pattern with a second front approaching from the northwest Wednesday night with possible strong storms. MVFR and IFR cigs are possible tonight. Winds may not go totally calm for all with some gradients remaining up. Gusty winds are expected during the afternoon on Wednesday ahead of the next front. Showers become widespread Wednesday night with some embedded Tstorms. Note that KASN continues with AMD NOT SKED appended to it due to comms issues getting their obs into our system. 08 && .FIRE WEATHER... Periods of rain will continue through at least midday on Thursday, with additional rainfall of at least ~1-1.5" across Central Alabama. A strong cold front moves through the area thereafter which will help promote cooler and drier weather through at least Saturday. Minimum relative humidity values should remain above 30% Friday and Saturday afternoons before better moisture begins to return Sunday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
