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 Apr 15, 6:49 AM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 15, 6:49 AM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
649 AM CDT Fri Apr 15 2022

.AVIATION...
12Z issuance...VFR conditions are anticipated across the region
today. Regional satellite imagery currently reveals a low level
cloud deck lingering over much of the area, but this should begin
to into lift to mid to upper level clouds through the morning
hours. Clouds will begin to increase in coverage again this
evening and overnight as the next system approaches. Expect
ceilings to become MVFR towards the end of the TAF period. Patchy
fog may also reduce visibilities late tonight and into early
Saturday morning especially over western portions of the area.
Otherwise, northeasterly winds this morning will give way to
southeasterly winds this afternoon. /14

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 457 AM CDT Fri Apr 15 2022/

NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Saturday/...Zonal flow aloft continues
through much of the day today while a surface high pressure
slides east across the Appalachians and eventually out over the
western Atlantic. Northeasterly surface winds will gradually
transition back to southerly as a result of the shifting high
pressure and a lifting warm front. These southerly winds will
allow for warm air advection and decent moisture return as model
precipitable water values increase from around an inch or less
this morning to 1.2 to 1.4 inches by this afternoon and evening.
The best moisture return is expected over southeast Mississippi
and southwest Alabama as these locations will be furthest from the
high pressure. Much of the area will remain mostly dry given the
influence of the high pressure and weak forcing aloft. However, a
few very light rain showers can't be ruled out over southeast
Mississippi and southwest Alabama this afternoon and evening.
Temperatures will be warm today with highs in the lower to mid
80s.

By tonight and into Saturday, upper level ridging over Mexico will
begin to amplify into the central CONUS. This will cause zonal flow
aloft over the area flow to become northwesterly. Additionally, this
will help to split the upper level jet into two- one being over
Louisiana and southern Mississippi with the second being further
north over the northern portion of the Tennessee Valley and the Ohio
Valley. There is upper level divergence between these jets, but the
greatest values may be a bit to our north/northwest. Moisture will
continue to increase through Saturday with model precipitable water
values increasing to around 1.5 to 1.8 inches. Showers and
thunderstorms will therefore begin to increase in coverage from
north to south late Friday night and into Saturday as a cold front
begins to move into the Southeast. A few thunderstorms could become
strong to severe on Saturday given that nearly 35-45 knots of shear
will be in place with MLCAPE values between 1500-2500 J/Kg.
Additionally, the area will be within a warm air mass as southerly
winds usher warm air off the Gulf waters. Although, lapse rates are
somewhat meager, there is sufficient mid-level dry air that could
contribute to some gusty winds and small hail in any of the stronger
storms that may develop. A limiting factor, however, is the lack of
a low level jet and the somewhat limited upper level support. We
will continue to monitor trends as Saturday approaches. As for
temperatures, lows tonight range from the lower to mid 60s. Highs
Saturday warm back into the lower to mid 80s.

A HIGH risk of rip currents persists through tonight and will become
MODERATE through the weekend. /14

SHORT TERM /Saturday night Through Sunday night/...Northwest flow
aloft will set up over the Deep South through the weekend. A
subtle shortwave in the flow aloft will be departing the region to
the east by Saturday night. There will likely be some residual
convection that will linger into Saturday evening with chances
decreasing after midnight. Conditions will remain seasonably warm
and humid with some patchy fog likely late Saturday night into
early Sunday morning. Low temperatures will range from the low
60s over the interior to upper 60s along the coast.

A more substantial mid level shortwave in northwest flow aloft
will move across the Lower Mississippi Valley Sunday afternoon
through Sunday night. A frontal boundary will be stretched from
the Arklatex east across northern Louisiana, central Mississippi,
into central Arkansas Sunday morning, with a potential old
convective outflow boundary draped across our forecast area. The
airmass along and south of the front should become increasingly
unstable through the day with abundant low level moisture in place
and anticipated diurnal heating. Weak surface low pressure should
develop along the front over the Arklatex by early Sunday
afternoon and lift northeast across north Mississippi Sunday
evening and into northern Alabama after midnight. As this occurs
the stalled front should lift back to the north as a warm front. Scattered
to numerous showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop by
Sunday afternoon as mid level heights begin to fall over top of the
low level warm, moist airmass. In addition to falling heights,
large scale ascent will also be aided by diffluent flow aloft with
a split upper jet and an enhanced area of differential divergence
associated with the left exit region of the subtropical jet.
Storms should initially focus along the residual outflow boundary
from Saturday evening storms, then develop across the entire warm
sector by late afternoon as lift becomes maximized. MLCAPES should
range from 1000-1500j/kg over the warm sector airmass and deep
layer shear should increase to greater than 40 knots by late
afternoon/evening, aided by a 50+kt mid level jet streak moving
through the area. This combination of instability and shear should
support organized deep convection that may produce severe wind
gusts and large hail. Although there will be veering winds with
height, especially in the lowest 3km, modest wind speeds through
this layer may limit any tornado potential. Also, a good amount of
dry air in the mid layers may support robust cold pools with any
stronger convection. Although an isolated tornado cannot be
completely ruled out, the primary severe weather hazards will be
damaging winds and large hail.

Storms should continue through Sunday night ahead of an
approaching cold front from the northwest. The severe threat will
likely persist into the evening but gradually wane with
diminishing instability, shear, and departing large scale lift.

Light onshore flow and moderate southerly swell through the
weekend will keep at least a Moderate risk for Rip Currents in
place through the weekend. We will need to closely monitor for a
potential upgrade back to High Risk for Sunday and Sunday night as
low level winds may increase ahead of the next shortwave along
with increasing tidal ranges. /JLH

EXTENDED TERM /Monday Through Thursday/...The front should sweep
across the forecast area on Monday with diminishing rain chances
from northwest to southeast. Broad mid and upper level ridging
over the western Gulf of Mexico and northern Mexico will build
into our forecast area by mid week behind the departing eastern
trough. Dry conditions and seasonably low humidity levels can be
expected with near normal temperatures through mid week. A gradual
warming trend can be expected by the end of the week as upper
ridging strengthens over the forecast area. /JLH

MARINE...Moderate northeasterly winds will become southerly this
afternoon and evening as a warm front lifts north. The southerly
flow is expected to ease slightly by Saturday. Another front will
move over and south of area waters early next week, bringing
moderate to strong offshore winds and building seas, and likely the
next SCA and associated hazards for small craft. /14
