$$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 12, 7:19 PM CDT, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 12, 7:19 PM CDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 719 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020 .UPDATE... For 00Z Aviation. && .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 0700 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020/ Mesoscale Update. An all-hazards severe weather threat continues across portions of Central Alabama. Damaging winds up to 70 mph, large hail, and tornadoes all remain possible into the overnight hours as a dynamic shortwave trough (which is taking a more neutral tilt) and surface low pressure eject eastward. Recent surface observations depict a favorable warm sector now along and north of the I-20/59 corridor, including SBCAPE 500-1,500 J/kg, EBS 60-70 kts, and 0-1 km SRH 500-700 m2/s2. These values are also supported by the 21Z BMX RAOB and various RADAR derived hodographs. Lift will continue to be abundant across the region as pressure & height falls accompany upper-level diffluence & quasigeostrophic forcing, as well as a surface moisture convergence axis from northeast AL into southwest MS. Thus, deep/moist convection will continue to be problematic over the next several hours, even as storm modes become less discrete. Threats also include flash flooding as high rain rates train north of I-20, generally along/near a 1.8-2.0" PW axis and confluent flow in the 925-850 mb layer. Short-range guidance suggests favorable atmospheric conditions for all-hazards will persist for the next several hours as a more linear convective system with embedded supercells ejects across Central AL. The effective layer significant tornado parameter is progged to remain as high as 5 ahead of this system through that time, suggesting an environment favorable for tornadogenesis and strong tornadoes. Residents of Central AL must remain diligent and weather aware into the overnight period and have multiple ways to receive warnings so that necessary action to protect life and property can be taken. 40/Sizemore .LONG TERM... /Updated at 0250 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020/ Monday through Saturday. Cooler, clearing conditions are expected on Monday as the cold front tracks towards the east coast. Lingering clouds may persist through the morning across our north as an upstream reinforcing front moves across the area, but a dry, northerly flow and increasing CAA will support sunny skies during the afternoon with highs in the lower 60s northwest to near 80F southeast. Guidance continues to indicate the front stalling generally east to west across the Gulf Coast region on Tuesday before lifting slightly into southern portions of Alabama early Wednesday morning. This should focus highest PoPs over our southeastern quadrant, but a flattened low-level ridge over the Lower MS Valley may hinder much of the activity from entering our forecast area, so PoPs may be lowered in future updates. Otherwise, the remainder of the extended will remain dry and cool as the weak low-level ridge slides eastward across the region with dry zonal flow aloft persisting through the period. Northeasterly flow Thursday morning should allow temps to lower into the 30s. Therefore, I continued to mention localized patchy frost across our northern counties. The latest round of data indicates lows may be a couple degrees warmer than previously forecast, but leaned on the cooler side since models are typically too warm under northeasterly flow. Rain chances will begin increasing at the end of the week as another low propagates across the Desert SW towards the Tennessee Valley. Kept PoPs around 40-50% since there is still plenty of uncertainty regarding timing, moisture return, and the evolution of the system. 86 && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF Discussion. Widespread showers and thunderstorms will impact all TAF sites overnight. Some of the storms will be severe with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. Strong gradient flow will also produce south winds sustained 15-20 kts with gusts to 35 kts. The winds will relax at bhm/tcl/eet by 05z as the low level jet shifts eastward, with the severe threat also ending at these sites. For the remainder of the TAF sites, the severe threat will end between 05z and 08z. Sfc winds will gradually veer overnight becoming westerly by 12z. VFR cigs at the start of the forecast period will become MVFR at all sites by 03z. Some clearing possible between 09z and 12z behind the initial front, but cold air stratocumulus could bring back MVFR cigs across the northern TAF sites between 12z and 18z, then become scattered. 58/rose && .FIRE WEATHER... Widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected tonight across Central Alabama. Winds will be gusty through the evening hours with south winds gusting to 35 MPH. Drier weather builds in the area on Monday before rain chances return across south Alabama Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Dry weather will prevail Thursday and Friday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
