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 Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 24, 6:41 AM CDT, 2 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 24, 6:41 AM CDT, 2 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 641 AM CDT Wed Mar 24 2021 .UPDATE... For 12Z TAFS. && .NEAR TERM...(Today) Issued at 151 AM CDT Wed Mar 24 2021 Rain has cleared off to the east, and clouds are clearing behind the front. Satellite shows a layer of lower clouds developing behind, however, which will move into the Tennessee Valley probably around 3-4 AM. These will still be around through mid-morning, but should break up by this afternoon for mostly sunny skies. High temperatures today should reach into the low-to-mid 70s, depending on how quickly we can clear out the clouds. If they hang on longer than 1 PM, we may end up being too warm with our forecast. Southerly winds will also help to advect in warmer temperatures despite the cloud cover. .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Friday night) Issued at 151 AM CDT Wed Mar 24 2021 We are now looking on to a developing low pressure system over northern Mexico as its trek towards eastern Texas and the southern Mississippi River Valley. This will be the primary weather producer for the next couple days, with a significant threat for severe weather Thursday into Thursday night for a good part of Mississippi and Alabama. This afternoon into this evening we will start to see the warm front lift north into Central Alabama. During the evening hours, this warm front lifts north into Tennessee, however a secondary "warm front" develops along the leading edge of the developing and strengthening low-level jet, which will provide the elevated instability as well as the forcing mechanism for elevated showers and thunderstorms developing and progressing northward after midnight tonight. Meanwhile, a broad area of upper-level divergence can be seen at 250-mb associated with the right-entrance region of the upper-level jet. This direct thermal circulation will likely couple with the developing low-level jet to enhance ascent and rainfall efficiency over the Tennessee Valley northward overnight into Thursday morning. Somewhere, either in far northern Alabama and/or Middle Tennessee, is going to get dumped on with a lot of rain with this frontal boundary Thursday morning, and models are likely under-doing QPF. As we go through Thursday morning, the next feature to watch will be the secondary LLJ that develops ahead of the frontal boundary starting over the southern half of Mississippi and moving into Central and Northern Alabama around 18-20Z. Not only will this LLJ provide the ample shear for tornadic supercells during the afternoon in Mississippi into at least Central Alabama, the northern edge of this LLJ will decide how far north the warm sector and severe weather/tornado threat gets. This looks likely to be decided sometime around 11-3 PM. Some hi-res models have this lifting north into southern Tennessee, putting most if not all of our forecast area in the warm-sector and therefore under a significant threat for damaging winds, hail and tornadoes. Meanwhile, other hi-res models have it making it right about to the Tennessee River/Huntsville area, and keeping the severe threat confined south of this line. Areas north of the leading edge of the LLJ, wherever it sets up, will have more of a threat from flash flooding/heavy rainfall as well as isolated strong to damaging winds. Areas south of this line will have the whole gambit of threats including tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and locally heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding. Model soundings in this southern region have ample CAPE and 0-1 km SRH values > 300-400 m2/s2. This will be a strong environment for supercell development out ahead of the cold front. Hi-res models are starting to model the shape of the event, with what looks like a line of supercells during the afternoon out ahead of the cold front, then a QLCS will follow along the cold front. Both rounds will be capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes. This will put our primary window for severe weather around 2-3 PM to 10 PM. Once the cold front moves through Friday night, we should see clouds gradually clearing, leaving us with a partly cloudy to mostly sunny day on Friday, with highs in the mid-70s. A lingering stationary front set up to our south will continue to hang around as cooler air left behind from the low pressure system hangs around to our north, and we continue to see warmer Gulf air to our south. This feature will play a role in our weather over the weekend. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 151 AM CDT Wed Mar 24 2021 A warm front will lift back north into the Tennessee Valley on Saturday and serve as a focus for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon/evening and into the overnight hours as the boundary stalls across north Alabama. The biggest concern will be the threat for flooding as we're checking off several boxes for efficient rain-producing showers and storms. Namely, the advection of a very moist air mass (PWATs around 1.6" per progged KHSV sounding at 00z Sunday), a stalled boundary nearby, and plenty of instability (either surface-based or elevated) to sustain updrafts on the deeper, more organized convection that develops. It's unclear exactly how much destabilization will occur during this window, but guidance continues to support the advection of a warm, moist, and increasingly unstable air mass (with some appreciable mid-level lapse rates). One caveat could be that we remain cloudy and somewhat rain-cooled so that the inversion remains in place for most of the day, keeping storms more elevated in nature. If the boundary nudges a little further north, strong southerly flow will quickly advect that more unstable air mass into the region, however. Still a bit of uncertainty here. Regardless, am confidence enough that we'll see plenty of thunderstorm activity Saturday into Saturday night along and south of the warm front and given the aforementioned thermodynamics and good (albeit more unidirectional bulk shear), strong to severe storms will be possible -- especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Damaging winds and hail would be the main concerns with this activity, especially if storms can become surface-based. A stronger, upper-trough over the Great lakes and Ohio Valley should be deep enough to pick up this front and push it back south and east of the area for good on Sunday. As a result, we should see showers and storms taper off quickly from northwest to southeast on Sunday morning. By the afternoon, a cooler, drier air mass will advect into the region. Expect cooler temperatures on Sunday and Monday as a result for the northerly flow. Thus despite plenty of sunshine, highs in the 60s will be favored both days. As winds veer back to the S/SE on Tuesday, a warm up back into the 70s will occur -- with continued dry weather as high pressure will be situated just to our east. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 641 AM CDT Wed Mar 24 2021 There is a line of high clouds hanging up across all but northwestern Alabama this morning. This is helping to keep HSV VFR this morning, but a layer of low clouds has moved into MSL and is encroaching from the west. Expect MVFR conditions to move into HSV over the next couple hours. These lower clouds will hang around through much of the morning, with models clearing them out around 17-18Z. Once these clouds clear, we will be VFR through the evening hours with increasing high clouds late. Models bring showers and thunderstorms up from the south after midnight tonight, probably closer to 08Z, but could be as early as 5-6Z. Strong winds and hail are possible with stronger storms, but the better chance for this will be later Thursday morning beyond the TAF period. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE.

The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low. Heavy rainfall and a few isolated strong to severe storms are possible overnight tonight after midnight. Main threats will be hail up to quarter-size, localized damaging winds, and flash flooding possible. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. Severe storms are expected Thursday and Thursday night, especially starting during the afternoon through Thursday night. All modes of severe weather will be possible including tornadoes, damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall. A strong tornado can't be ruled out. Heavy rainfall from this system Wednesday night through Thursday night will lead to flash flooding, along with rises and possible flooding of local area streams and rivers. This pattern remains active with another system bringing in the chance for strong to severe storms Saturday into Saturday night. Please check back for updates. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Activation of storm spotters and emergency management personnel is likely Thursday and Thursday night. Please relay any information about observed severe weather to the NWS while following all local, state, and CDC guidelines.
