$$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 Apr 11, 6:52 AM CDT, 4 hours 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 11, 6:52 AM CDT, 4 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 652 AM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020 .UPDATE... For 12Z Aviation. && .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 0347 AM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020/ Today and Tonight. Starting off chilly this morning, but will warm up into the upper 60s to mid 70s by the afternoon. We will have an increase in cloud cover by the afternoon as the next system draws closer, but should stay rain free. Expect continued increasing clouds tonight as the storm system across the Central Plains becomes more organized and deepens. Winds will become more southerly overnight with speeds up to 10 mph. Mild temperatures are forecast with lows ranging from upper 40s in the northeast to the upper 50s southwest. Lows may be earlier than normal as dewpoints start to increase. Showers and elevated thunderstorms are expected to develop after Midnight in association with an impulse aloft arriving from the southwest. Bulk shear and most unstable CAPE values suggest some of the storms could be strong. With the elevated nature of the storms and the swath of cooler surface temperatures, some hail could result. 16 .LONG TERM... /Updated at 0347 AM CDT Sat Apr 11 2020/ Sunday. Impacts: Severe weather is likely to occur across the Deep South on Sunday. Tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds are the primary threats. Some tornadoes may be strong/long-lived. Timing: Multiple waves of storms could occur between 1pm and 2am. A highly dynamic system is expected to move through the Plains on Sunday. The warm front is still along the Gulf Coast Sunday morning and will lift northward as we get into the afternoon hours. Along and behind the warm front, a very moist/unstable air mass builds in. Instability increases to 1500-2000+ J/kg with dewpoints in the upper 60s to near 70s. I expect showers and thunderstorms to develop along the warm front as it lifts northward. This could turn into the initial wave of severe weather, though most of this is expected to be elevated making the main threat damaging winds and hail. However, we could see some of these storms become surface-based and present a tornado threat given the high shear in place. This is why our threat timing could be as early as 1pm. Through the afternoon into early evening hours, the environment becomes even more unstable as the warm/moist flow from the Gulf continues. Mid-level flow from the southwest could help set up a capping inversion around 850mb since the source region for this air is coming out of Southern TX. This would prevent widespread showers/thunderstorm activity for the afternoon; however, a pre- frontal shortwave is expected to eject from the base of the deepening trough and lift through our area. This occurs around the same time as both the upper and lower level jets begin nosing into Central AL. This could allow for enough lift to break through the capping inversion - if this happens, we could see scattered, more discrete thunderstorms. These thunderstorms, if they are able to develop, could become strong supercells fairly quickly in the rich/highly sheared environment. CAPE values could still be in the 1500-2000J/kg range with 0-1km and 0-3km SRH approaching or exceeding 500. This could be the most dangerous time with this system in terms of both tornado and hail threats. It also happens to be the most uncertain because it all depends on the shortwave impulse and jets providing enough forcing, plus any daytime heating, to help break through the capping inversion. Late into the evening and into the overnight hours, a line of storms moves across the MS River and into the northern portions of Mississippi. This line will be most closely associated with a developing dryline as the main cold front still hangs back by a few hours. These storms are forecast to move through Central AL and could turn into a QLCS as instability and shear are expected to remain abundant across the area. Therefore, we could see another threat of tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail through at least 2 am, which is why the ending time to our threats is so much later. I think it's likely that the exact timing of threats could change in the 24 hours or so as we lead up to the storm system and our convective- allowing models start to resolve the upstream characteristics of this system a little better. Monday through Friday: After this system moves to our east on Monday, we will likely see cooler and mostly dry weather. There could be a secondary impulse that lifts northward out of the Gulf into Southern GA Tuesday night into Wednesday that brings more rain across the area, but models are split on how far into our area the precip lifts. For now, I'll keep lower chance PoPs in the forecast with no thunderstorms mentioned. Drier weather should build back in through the end of the week as zonal flow persists aloft. 25/Owen && .AVIATION... 12Z TAF Discussion. VFR conditions for the cycle, but weather conditions will be changing. The first wave of several waves of weather will begin to impact the northern and western TAF sites after 6Z Sunday. Showers will begin to move into the area and ceiling will begin to drop. Could see a tempo lowering to MVFR with the rain so include with a prob group for now. Also will need to watch LLWS for the north as the LLJ begins to increase with the initial wave. Again most of the worst conditions will be at the tail end of this cycle so much more on this as the time gets closer. 16 && .FIRE WEATHER... Relative humidity values will fall below 30 percent for a few hours this afternoon under mostly clear skies. KBDI values are near or just below 300 in most area, and 20ft winds will remain below red flag warning criteria. 20ft winds will become easterly Saturday morning and then southeast in the afternoon. Showers and storms return Saturday night through Sunday night, with mainly cooler and drier conditions next week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
