$$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, Mar 4, 3:36 PM CST, 2 minutes before
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. 58/rose && .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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
