$$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 18, 7:18 PM CDT, 2 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 18, 7:18 PM CDT, 2 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 718 PM CDT Sat Apr 18 2020 .UPDATE... For 00Z Aviation. && .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 0245 PM CDT Sat Apr 18 2020/ This afternoon through Sunday night. A cooler and drier air mass has settled over Central Alabama with mostly clear skies across the area. A wide range of temperatures this afternoon with readings ranging from the upper 50s north to upper 70s south. Surface winds will become calm this evening as a surface high settles over the area. The air mass will undergo a rapid change after midnight as low level southwest flow ushers in warmer air aloft. The rapid increase in isentropic lift will saturate the air mass quickly and low level convergence will create favorable conditions for showers and embedded thunderstorms. There is still a small threat for large hail in the morning hours, but latest hi-res models have backed off MUCAPE values, which is used for elevated convection. The early morning rain will fall into an air mass with surface dewpoints in the 40s. If the heaviest rainfall occurs along and just north of I-20 as many models suggest, This will produce a rain cooled air mass with a thermal gradient just south of I-20. Based on higher rainfall amounts with the morning convection, a few more northern counties have been added to the Flash Flood Watch. Areas south of I-20 will destabilize quickly as surface dewpoints surge to near 70 degrees by early afternoon. The warm front will eventually merge with the rain cooled boundary and increase the thermal gradient. Surface based CAPE values are forecast to climb to near 2500 J/kg with 0-3 EHI values 4-6 in the warm sector. At the same time an upper impulse will approach the MS River in the afternoon. Discrete rotating cells with a potential for strong tornadoes will develop across central Mississippi by early afternoon. This activity will spread into west Alabama by mid afternoon. The northern edge of the thermal boundary will likely be set by early afternoon. Once afternoon convection moves into west Alabama, the boundary may shift southward as the rain enhances the cool side of the boundary. There will likely be a tight gradient between severe and non- severe thunderstorms. SPC has introduced a moderate risk of severe storms to the southern portions of Central Alabama, which is warranted base on the above mentioned factors. There may be several waves of convection, which is why we have extended the severe threat until 2 am CDT to account for the southeast counties. 58/rose .LONG TERM... /Updated at 0245 PM CDT Sat Apr 18 2020/ Monday through Thursday. With that initial storm system out of the way, we can start to look towards the rest of the week. The upper level flow remains largely zonal to WSW Monday and Tuesday, with dry weather indicated both days. Another southern stream shortwave trough is forecast by the models to move across the southern Plains and into the OH/TN valleys in the Wednesday-Thursday time frame. The associated surface low is forecast to track (roughly/generally speaking) from the ArkLaTex to eastern KY or TN, with lowest pressures in the 990s. Global models have now shown varying degrees of favorable instability parameters, shear parameters, and severe weather composite index parameters for at least a few runs now. I think there is enough general agreement in the models now to introduce at least a small confidence mention of severe/tornadoes in the HWO for late Wednesday into Thursday. As per usual, there's still some spatial, temporal, and magnitudinal (?) details to be hashed out. But right now, it appears the main time frame of concern is late Wednesday (probably overnight) into Thursday. /61/ && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF Discussion. The general reasoning and impacts regarding restrictions hold this forecast package. It appears VFR conditions will prevail through the first 6-9hrs of the period. By 09-12z, moisture increases significantly and MVFR ceilings rapidly move in from the southwest. A disturbance will move overhead and allow some showers and thunderstorms to develop in this higher moisture content. Handled the thunder in PROB30's with showers. By 14z, the northern locations will experience IFR ceilings. Another stronger wave moves over the region with numerous showers and thunderstorms expected late in the afternoon and just beyond the period. Winds will start off light northerly and become variable to calm. On Sunday, winds swing around the the south southwest at 10-20kts. 75 && .FIRE WEATHER... A cold front will move through this morning with scattered rain showers. Dry conditions are expected this afternoon with northwest winds and RH values in the 35-45 percent range. A warm front will move northward Sunday morning with multiple waves of showers and storms expected through Sunday evening. Dry conditions should return for Monday with RH values well above critical thresholds. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
