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 Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 29, 5:33 PM CST, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 29, 5:33 PM CST, 1 hour 31 minutes before

533 PM CST Wed Dec 29 2021

.UPDATE...
For 00Z TAFS.

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 100 PM CST Wed Dec 29 2021

The rain over northwestern Alabama really has not gone anywhere
throughout the morning into the early afternoon. CAMs have struggled
with this area of precipitation but it looks to be finally pushing
northwards out of the area. This rain has really set up a strong
temperature gradient across the region. Temperatures are near 60 at
Muscle Shoals and Haleyville with mid to upper 70s just to the south
with a 77 degree reading at Tuscaloosa. Visible satellite imagery
indicates a solid break in the cloud cover just to the south.
Questions still remain about how much this late December atmosphere
can recover this afternoon. Based on indications from observations
just to the south, it may be able to in just a few hours. The best
forcing associated with the low-level jet is not forecast until
closer to 22-03z, so there is still plenty of time for recovery
before this forcing arrives. Latest CAMs indicate around a 50%
probability of 500 J/Kg of SBCAPE as far north as the TN River. The
CAMs may be picking up a thermal boundary from the rain this morning.
Again, still some questions on how far this boundary may push to the
north. Latest CAMs indicate a line of showers/storms moving into
northwest Alabama around 22z, near the I-65 corridor around 00z, and
exiting to the southeast around 03-04z. As mentioned, the low-level
jet surges to around 50 kts during this timeframe elongating
hodographs and leading to favorable low-level shear profiles for
tornado formation. The SPC has upgraded the entire forecast area into
the Enhanced Risk for severe storms. They have also introduced a 10%
hatched area for locations to the west of I-65 indicating the
potential for a few strong tornadoes. Damaging winds are also
expected with any severe storms. Large hail does not look to be as
much of a concern with the extremely high freezing level but could
see some marginally severe sized hail in the stronger updrafts.
Flooding will also have to be monitored with many streams and rivers
already elevated from the rainfall last night and this morning. PW
values are also near the 99th percentile for late December with deep
warm rain processes ongoing. Remain weather aware this afternoon and
evening and have multiple ways to receive warnings.

The threat for severe weather looks to come to an end by midnight at
the latest. The latest guidance continues to be quicker and quicker
with this system and the threat for severe weather may end well
before midnight. The main front will still be back to the west
overnight and some of the guidance indicating redevelopment in the
predawn hours along this boundary. Overall, the main support for
severe weather will have exited the region by this point. The
surface boundary is forecast to stall over the area tonight with
temperatures and dewpoints remaining elevated. Overnight lows will
remain in the low to mid 60s for most locations.

.SHORT TERM...(Thursday through Friday)
Issued at 100 PM CST Wed Dec 29 2021

The surface front will remain stalled across the region on Thursday.
There could be a few lingering showers along this boundary but
nothing more than that is anticipated. Highs will continue to be on
the warm side in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Showers/storms will return to the forecast on Thursday night into
Friday morning as the surface boundary begins to move back northwards
as a warm front. The upper level pattern will continue to feature
ridging out over the Caribbean and troughing across the Desert
Southwest. Strong southerly to southwesterly flow aloft will keep
strong warm/moist advection ongoing across the Southern U.S. Numerous
to widespread showers and storms are forecast in this saturated
atmosphere on Friday with high temperatures once again in the low to
mid 70s.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 100 PM CST Wed Dec 29 2021

The long-term portion of the forecast period will feature another
threat for strong to severe storms on Saturday followed by a dramatic
drop in temperatures.

A shortwave trough will move out of the Desert Southwest into the
central and southern Plains late Friday into Saturday. This will lead
to an area of low pressure developing along the stalled frontal
boundary. The latest track of this low is a little bit further south.
The low is forecast to track from near Little Rock, AR to near
Louisville, KY on Saturday. There will be an elongated upper jet that
will stretch from the southern Plains northeastward into the Great
Lakes. The low-level wind field will increase in response to a
deepening surface low leading to increasing low-level wind shear.
Instability should be well established in the broad warm sector
across the Southeastern U.S. This will all set the stage for another
round of strong/severe storms on Saturday. All modes of severe
weather will be possible from damaging wind, tornadoes, and large
hail. Additionally, the atmosphere will remain highly saturated with
PW values again near the 99th percentile. Local streams and rivers
will be elevated from the rainfall earlier in the week. Overall,
expect additional flooding from the round of showers storms on
Saturday. The latest models continue to indicate a rather progressive
system with a quick exit of the front Saturday night. Much colder
air will move in behind this system as the troughing eventually wins
out over the persistent ridging. A solid 40 degree drop well occur in
less then 24 hours from Saturday-Sunday. Temperatures will even fall
down into the 30s during the day on Sunday. There is a little
moisture remaining on the backside of the system and there could be a
few snow flurries on Sunday but this should not lead to any impacts.

Cold temperatures will continue into early next week with lows in the
20s on both Monday and Tuesday mornings. Highs on Monday will be in
the low to mid 40s and moderating some into the low to mid 50s on
Tuesday.

in addition to vrb winds 15-20kt with higher gusts. This line should
then move east of the area later this evening, with perhaps some

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north Alabama and portions of
southern middle Tennessee.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

Severe storms are expected this afternoon and evening. The main
threat will be damaging winds but a few tornadoes cannot but ruled
out along with marginally severe sized hail. The risk of severe
weather will diminish after 10 PM. Locally heavy rainfall is also
possible, with isolated flash flooding possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday...

Thunderstorms will exit the area Thursday morning.

Multiple periods of thunderstorms are expected Thursday night
through Saturday. There is a risk of isolated severe thunderstorms
late Friday night through Saturday morning. A greater risk of severe
thunderstorms exists Saturday into Saturday evening as a cold front
slides southeast into and through the region. Damaging winds, hail
and possibly tornadoes will be threats from these severe
thunderstorms. In addition, due to multiple periods of heavy rains in
some areas, the risk of flash flooding will increase as well.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...

Activation of storm spotters and emergency management personnel is
possible during the late afternoon and evening hours today.
