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 Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 19, 5:16 PM CDT, 4 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 19, 5:16 PM CDT, 4 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
516 PM CDT Sat Mar 19 2022

.AVIATION...
00Z issuance...VFR CIGs and VISBYs expected through the forecast.
Northwest to northerly winds 5 to 10 knots will lighten to around
5 knots or less overnight. Winds will then increase to 5 to 10
knots Sunday morning, along with shifting to northeast to easterly
by the end of the day.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 406 PM CDT Sat Mar 19 2022/

NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Sunday/...A positively tilted upper
trof extending from near the Great Lakes into the south central
states takes on a meridional orientation while progressing to the
East Coast during the period. An associated surface low well to
the north previously brought a cold front through the forecast
area overnight, and a dome of surface high pressure then builds
into the region through Sunday. Very dry deep layer air continues
to flow into the region meanwhile with a predominately light
northerly surface flow, and no precipitation is expected through
the period. Lows tonight range from around 40 well inland to the
mid/upper 40s at the immediate coast, and highs on Sunday will be
70 to 75. A moderate risk of rip currents is in effect for the
rest of today, then a low risk follows for tonight and Sunday. /29

SHORT TERM /Sunday night Through Wednesday afternoon/...Dry
conditions expected through Monday evening, with isolated light
rain showers returning late Monday night across SE MS ahead of the
next major storm system. An upper shortwave will exit the Rocky
Mountains Sunday night into Monday, and deepen significantly into
a massive upper longwave trough over all of central North America,
with the base extending as far south and southern Mexico. This
trough will then nearly stall through the remainder of the short
term. A 100 to 120 knot 300mb jet stream diving southward over the
Inter-mountain West will carve out an upper level closed low
pressure system within the longwave trough over southern New
Mexico by noon Monday, and then lift northeast over the Midwest
States through late Wednesday afternoon. A 60-80 knot 500mb jet
max rounding the base of the southern plains upper closed low
pressure system will strengthen to 90 to 110 knots Tuesday
evening as it approaches the forecast area, enhancing an upper
level diffluent pattern over the region. This jet will then lift
northeastward late Tuesday night and Wednesday, placing the
forecast area in the favorable right entrance region, promoting
enhanced dynamic lifting in the mid to upper levels.

At the surface, a large high pressure system across the region
will shift eastward, bringing a southerly low level wind flow
along the western periphery of the high resulting in a gradual
increase in moisture and clouds. An area of low pressure is
expected to develop over the Texas Panhandle by noon Tuesday,
and lift northeast toward the lower Great Lakes. This will put
the forecast area in the warm sector with a very tight pressure
gradient developing. A low level jet will also accompany this
system with 850mb winds between 45 and 60 knots moving across the
forecast area on Tuesday, with the highest winds northwest of
I-65. In addition, upper level impulses will also traverse the
forecast area Tuesday, allowing for numerous showers and
thunderstorms to develop by late Tuesday afternoon and continuing
through Tuesday night

We are monitoring this next system closely as the severe weather
threat is trending upward with each model run, and has the
potential to bring a line of strong to severe thunderstorms
through the region Tuesday and possible into midweek. There are
some timing differences that need to be resolved, but the bulk of
the line is still expected to pass through the forecast area
Tuesday and Tuesday night. The near storm environment is looking
increasingly likely to support the development of strong to severe
thunderstorms with damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes. MLCape
values remain between 1200 and 1600 J/KG, concurrent with SFC-1KM
SRH values between 400 to 600 M2/S2. Heavy rainfall is also
expected with this system. In addition, a more elevated rip
current risk is expected with this system, with high surf and
possible coastal flooding. /22

EXTENDED TERM /Wednesday night Through Saturday/...Lingering
isolated to scattered showers and few thunderstorms Wednesday
evening will slowly taper off toward the southeast through
Thursday. Once this system clears, a drier and cooler airmass
moves into the area for the end of the week. /22

MARINE...Due to a strengthening northerly flow, small craft should
exercise caution over much of the marine area tonight after which
the flow gradually subsides on Sunday.  Small craft should should
exercise caution again from late Sunday evening into the overnight
hours as an easterly flow strengthens, then a Small Craft Advisory
will likely be required beginning Monday.  The potential Small Craft
Advisory will likely need to continue through Thursday. /29
