What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Nov 29, 11:38 PM CST, 3 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 29, 11:38 PM CST, 3 hours 23 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
1138 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2022

...New SHORT TERM, AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday)
Issued at 1120 PM CST TUE NOV 29 2022

Instability has been very slow to make a push eastward. But late
this evening, winds have finally swung around to the south and dew
points have jumped into the 60s west of I-65. Bulk Shear values
and low level helicities remain high enough to support all modes
of severe weather ans this airmass will move eastward through 6
am. Some pinching of the airmass is possible as warm front, 50s
dew points far east, remains in the area with a short period to
see advection. The latest Tornado Watch covers areas as far east
as Birmingham to Troy.

Some areas in the north where the Flash Flood Watch is in effect
have received 2 to 3 inches of rain with locally higher amounts.
Another batch of heavier rain will move through overnight with
another 1-2 inches or more. Much of the ground saturation has been
loaded up and runoff will be enhanced with additional rainfall.

75

Previous short-term discussion:
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 115 PM CST TUE NOV 29 2022

Closer to the Lower Mississippi Valley, a warm sector is
currently establishing and is expected to spread north/northeast
as the parent low pressure system quickly advances toward the
Upper Midwest. This forecast trend will support the more favorable
surface-based warm sector could move into our area later this
afternoon and into the evening hours. Latest HREF suggests
500-1,000 J/kg SBCAPE, potentially 1,500 J/kg given modest mid-
level lapse rates (6.5 to 7.0 C/km) for areas west of I-65, as
dewpoints increase to the mid to upper 60s. These values generally
decline with eastward extent where dewpoints remain in the low
60s or less through tonight.

Given abundant kinematics (50-60+ kts bulk shear) strong to
severe thunderstorms are likely to impact Central Alabama as
ongoing and/or developing clusters of supercells move from
Mississippi into western Alabama. These storms will pose all
modes of severe weather including convective wind gusts 60-70+
mph, large hail, and tornadoes given progged 200-400 0-1 km SRH.
This threat will impact areas west and northwest this evening
first, generally spreading to the east and southeast into the
overnight hours. These storms will also pose a threat of heavy
rainfall if they become oriented in a manner that training can
occur. Rainfall totals approaching 4" will be possible, if so.
Flash flooding potential has certainly increased for areas along
and north of I-20 given latest forecast expectations.

Severe weather (and any flash flooding concerns) will end as the
cold front moves through the area later tonight bringing cold air
advection and a change to brisk northwesterly winds.

40/Sizemore

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 201 PM CST TUE NOV 29 2022

A much colder air mass will overspread Central Alabama Wednesday
night through Friday. Lows Thursday morning will be in the upper
20s north to lower 30s south. A combination of very dry air at the
low levels Thursday afternoon and light winds Thursday night will
lead to good radiational cooling conditions, and lowered minimum
temperatures a few degrees Friday morning. Moderating temperatures
Friday and Saturday as the low level flow becomes south-southwest
ahead of an approaching cold front. Showers will develop ahead of
the front across north Alabama Friday night and into Saturday.
The front will stall out over north Alabama on Sunday and will
maintain small rain chances along and north of I-20. The front
will lift northward Sunday night and Monday as a warm front, with
most of the rain staying north of central Alabama. Overall,
temperatures will be above normal over the weekend and into early
next week, especially for areas south of I-20.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1120 PM CST TUE NOV 29 2022

Showers and thunderstorms will impact all the northern terminals
at the start of the period. The convection will not exit until
09-11z with some light rain lingering for a short time. The
southern sites will experience a few hours lag before arrival and
then convection last until 13-15z. Ceilings bottom out around 012
generally with brief 1-2sm br/ra. Winds will be gusty at times and
the direction will veer from south to northwest through 18z.

.FIRE WEATHER...

A strong storm system is expected to bring wetting rains with
thunderstorms to Central Alabama tonight into early Wednesday
morning, with locally heavy rainfall. This system will usher in
much colder and drier air Wednesday and Thursday, with rain free
conditions Wednesday afternoon through Friday. Minimum RH on
Wednesday will be 45-55 percent and 25-30 percent Thursday.
