$$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, 6:15 PM CST, 1 hour 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 4, 6:15 PM CST, 1 hour 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 615 PM CST Wed Mar 4 2020 .UPDATE... For 00Z Aviation. && .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 307 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 300 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... 00Z TAF Discussion. Widespread rain showers will continue tonight into Thursday morning across Central Alabama as a surface low moves eastward across the northern gulf coast. MVFR and lower cigs should work their way back in later tonight. Thunder is not out of the question late tonight as the low nears the Alabama coast. Showers should taper off during the Thursday afternoon from west to east as the low moves away. Some clouds will linger in the afternoon but cigs heights should lift some and clouds will start to decrease in the west part of the state as drier air moves into the area. 08 && .FIRE WEATHER...
