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 Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Sep 14, 1:57 PM CDT, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 14, 1:57 PM CDT, 1 hour 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
157 PM CDT Mon Sep 14 2020
.NEAR TERM /Now Through Tuesday/...An upper level ridge will
continue to build over the western and central CONUS, with a
northern stream upper trough over the northeastern CONUS. A
surface cold front, draped over the Carolinas, over the Tennessee
Valley, and down through southeastern Texas, will progress very
slowly southeastward through Tuesday. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm
Sally has strengthened into a hurricane early this afternoon. At
this time, Sally will continue its west-northwest trajectory and
approach the western edge of a mid level ridge to its northeast,
and thus expected to be slowing while also turning more northward
across the MS Sound. Landfall is forecast to most likely be along
the coast of Mississippi late Tuesday night; however, it is
extremely important to stay vigilant and have an action plan in
place as short term adjustments to track and intensity can still
occur. Therefore, please make sure to continue to check our page
as well as the National Hurricane Center (www.hurricanes.gov) for
the latest updates and information on Hurricane Sally.
Through Tuesday, expect increasing heavy rain and strong winds as
rain bands move over the area from Hurricane Sally. Tropical
storm force gusts will spread along the immediate coast this
afternoon then spread further inland overnight. In addition,
hurricane force winds are possible for southeast Mississippi and
coastal Alabama Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning as
Sally makes landfall. The threat of a few tornadoes will increase
across the southern portion of the local area this evening then
expand inland later tonight through Wednesday. Furthermore, this
will be a prolonged event with significant and historic flooding
becoming more likely. The heaviest rain totals and greatest
flooding potential will be Tuesday through Wednesday, with storm
total rainfall forecast to range between 15-20 inches (with
locally higher amounts of 25 inches) for coastal Alabama and
southeast Mississippi. 10-15 inches of rain with locally higher
amounts are then possible further inland across the remainder of
the local area (interior southwest Alabama, south-central Alabama,
and the western Florida Panhandle). The storm surge forecast has
also increased overall. 6-9 feet of inundation is forecast for the
Mississippi/Alabama border to Dauphin Island, 5-8 feet for Mobile
Bay, and 4-7 feet for coastal Baldwin. Meanwhile, 2-4 feet of
surge is forecast for Pensacola to Navarre (Florida) and between
1-3 feet from Navarre to Destin (Florida). However, the
aforementioned totals for rain and surge are dependent on the
track of Hurricane Sally. Thus, it is important to continue to
check back for updates as short fused changes to the forecast
track and intensity are possible.
A Hurricane Warning is now in effect for Mobile and Baldwin
counties and a Tropical Storm Warning has been extended to include
Clarke and Choctaw counties. A Storm Surge Warning has also been
issued for coastal Alabama and Mobile Bay. Although the Coastal
Flood Advisory is still in effect for the western Florida
Panhandle coast, we will continue to monitor these areas for a
potential Storm Surge Warning. Further impacts include a Flash
Flood Watch which remains in effect for the entire area, a HIGH
RISK of rip currents, and a High Surf Advisory for dangerously
high surf (large breaking waves of 8-12 feet) through at least
midweek. /26

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1252 PM CDT Mon Sep 14 2020/
AVIATION...
18Z issuance...Tropical Storm Sally has strengthened to a
hurricane early this afternoon. This storm is expected to bring
heavy rainfall and strong winds, especially beginning late tonight
through midweek, for southeast Mississippi, southwest Alabama,
and portions of the western Florida Panhandle. Thus, expect an
increase in rain and winds during this time. With this will come
lower CIGs and VIS, especially in the heavier rain. MVFR
conditions are expected this afternoon, with decreasing conditions
to at least IFR (or lower) by early Tuesday morning. Towards the
coast, sustained easterly winds this afternoon between 15-20 knots
(gusts around 25 knots) are expected to further increase through
Tuesday morning to be around 30 knots with gusts to 35-40 knots.
Winds further inland will be around 15 knots sustained (gusts to
around 20 knots) by Tuesday afternoon. In addition, wind shear
will also become a concern for southeast Mississippi, southwest
Alabama, and portions of the western Florida Panhandle on Tuesday
as Sally draws closer to the coast. /26
