$$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 28, 5:52 AM CDT, 3 hours 52 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 5:52 AM CDT, 3 hours 52 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 552 AM CDT Sun Mar 28 2021 .UPDATE... Morning Update and 12Z Aviation. && .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 0536 AM CDT Sun Mar 28 2021/ Through Monday Night. With ample instability ahead of the approaching cold front and strong forcing aloft, thunderstorms will continue to be possible, with the strongest activity just to our north. With that said, there will be scattered pockets of severe winds and isolated pockets of hail possible across all of Central Alabama this morning in the northwest to mid afternoon in the southeast. Wind profiles have begun to veer and are quickly losing the support for tornadoes. There still is a non zero threat down to I-85 but the biggest threats will be winds and hail, so will shift the HWO to that for the rest of the day. After Noon, strong surface destabilization is expected across the south and southeast, which will result in storm intensification with time as we proceed through the afternoon. The concern for damaging winds and large hail will grow with time across the southeast due to the further increasing instability through the day on Sunday. While a brief tornado southeast can not be fully ruled out, the potential is low compared to across the northwest and northern counties this morning. As the cold front moves through, a few lingering showers are expected, but the atmosphere will stabilize quickly as cold air advection ensues. Any remaining showers should be exiting the southeast counties early tonight. Much cooler and drier air will overspread the area by Monday morning with lows in the mid 30s north to 40s elsewhere. Did add in patchy frost across the far northern counties. Not sure if the winds will die completely off but the more sheltered locations should at least see some patchy frost. Not enough coverage to issue a Frost Advisory, but worth watching. Highs on Monday will be pleasant with readings in the 60s. A warm front will lift northward Monday night with a chance of showers across the southern counties. 16 .LONG TERM... /Updated at 0211 AM CDT Sun Mar 28 2021/ With the advancing warm front, look for mostly cloudy skies on Tuesday with scattered showers and thunderstorms, with better chances of rain south of I-20. Increasing rain chances Tuesday night across north Alabama as low level southerly flow increases ahead of an approaching short wave. Looks like the best coverage here will be in the north. Behind it, a strong cold front will push through Central Alabama on Wednesday producing widespread showers and thunderstorms. There is small window across the southern counties Wednesday afternoon when surface based instability may be high enough for a low end severe threat, with wind and hail the biggest concerns. SPC has issued a day 3 marginal just to our west, so confidence is increasing that we will see a chance on Wednesday. Will go ahead and include a low end confidence for severe storms on Wednesday in the HWO. A much colder air mass will overspread the area Thursday and Friday. In fact we could see some upper 20s in the north on Friday morning. A Freeze Watch may be issued in the next few days if the trend continues. 16 && .AVIATION... 12Z TAF Discussion. Conditions will continue to deteriorate for the north as TSRA moves through the sites ahead of and along a front. Gusty winds will be possible outside of storms. A few storms could be strong to severe with the frontal passage. Threat time for storms will be best in the morning for TCL/BHM, morning to midday for EET/ASN/ANB and midday to afternoon for MGM/TOI. May return to VFR conditions again by 18z TCL to 23z TOI. 16 && .FIRE WEATHER... A band of showers and thunderstorms will track southeast across the area today. Some of the storms may be severe.
