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 Mar 4, 3:36 PM CST, 2 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
336 PM CST Wed Mar 4 2020

.SHORT TERM...
/Updated at 0307 PM CST Wed Mar 04 2020/

Through Thursday.

FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL INCREASING ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA,

It has been a very wet day across central Alabama with numerous showers
and embedded thunderstorms spreading across the area. The band of
severe storms that raced eastward for areas south of I-85 earlier
today produced a swath of 1-2 inches. North of I-85, rainfall
amounts of one-half to 1 inch have been observed over the past 12
hours. An elevated band of low level convergence will increase in
a zone between I-20 and I-85 as the upper short wave trof approaches
the MS River. Deep layer forcing will overlap the low level convergence
band between 9 pm and 3 am, setting a period of enhanced potential
for flash flooding. The threat of flash flooding should greatly
diminish after sunrise as the stronger forcing exits central
Alabama. However, additional forcing associated with the upper
trof will keep showers going through the morning hours and into
the early afternoon. The rain will end from west to east during
the afternoon hours.

58/rose

.LONG TERM...
/Updated at 0300 AM CST Wed Mar 04 2020/

Thursday night through Tuesday.

Dry weather will finally return Thursday night as the current storm
system moves east of the Carolinas. Temperatures on Friday will be
mild, but a deep trough over the eastern CONUS will produce breezy
conditions as high pressure moves in from the northwest. Cold
advection will arrive Friday evening, and widespread lower to mid
30s are expected for Saturday morning as northerly winds become
lighter. Dry conditions, with cool nights and mild afternoons, will
continue for the weekend as high pressures slowly shifts eastward
toward the Carolinas.

On Monday, a shortwave moving toward the Mississippi Valley will
induce southerly low-level flow and also provide adequate lift for
showers during the afternoon and into the overnight. Thought the
shortwave will move east of the area on Tuesday, some showers could
linger as southerly flow continues ahead of a decaying cold front.

87/Grantham

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF Discussion.

Widespread showers and a few thunderstorms will continue across
the area thru the entire forecast period. Moist southwest flow
aloft is overrunning weak northeast low level flow, and creating
widespread lift for shower activity. Weaker lift thru 03z will
produce mostly vsbys in the 3-5 mile range, but stronger forcing
will arrive between 03z and 09z as the main upper level short
wave trof approaches. This will produce areas of heavy rainfall
and elevated thunderstorms, with vsbys blo 3 miles in rain and
fog. A sfc low will develop along the Gulf coast and track into
southern Georgia by 18z Thursday. Light and variable sfc winds
will become northeast at 10-15 kts between 00z and 03z.
Widespread IFR cigs will also develop after 00z and last thru the
period. The tstm activity will decrease after 12z and the main
forcing lifts out of the area.

.FIRE WEATHER...

A wet pattern will continue through Thursday morning with
widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches. Drier and cooler
conditions return for Friday through the weekend.
