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 13, 6:43 AM CDT, 4 hours 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 6:43 AM CDT, 4 hours 43 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED

643 AM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023

...New AVIATION...

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 640 AM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023

Showers and thunderstorms will continue to spread inland this
inland this morning, with coverage tapering off over the coastal
counties by late morning. VFR conditions gradually lower to MVFR
near the coast later this evening and then over the remainder of
the area tonight. IFR and MVFR ceilings will slowly improve by
late this afternoon. /22

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 503 AM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023/

..New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE...

NEAR TERM...
(Now through Friday)
Issued at 503 AM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023

The upper low centered over southeast Louisiana will drift slowly
to near the border of central Mississippi/central Alabama through
today. An associated surface low just south of Mobile Bay will
quickly move north-northwestward today, with guidance in general
agreement reaching into central Mississippi by late this
afternoon, and there remains some uncertainty as to how quickly
the system weakens. A frontal boundary along the immediate coastal
areas will continue northward through much of the remainder of
the forecast area through the day. Current radar shows a solid
areas of moderate to heavy rain across coastal Alabama and west of
the Alabama River. Much lower coverage is occurring to the east
of the river as a dry slot is currently wrapping around the upper
low impacts coverage of precipitation, but this will eventually
fill in with rain throughout the morning. Coverage is expected to
decrease sufficiently over the southern portion of the area by
late this morning to go with chance pops, then pops decrease for
much of the area during the late afternoon and evening hours.

SBCAPE values today east of the Tombigbee River will reside
between of 500-1000 J/kg. There remains an intersection of
favorable shear and instability generally over Alabama east of the
Tombigbee River, resulting in the potential for strong to
severe storm potential. This area has been upgraded to a Slight
Risk for today. A high surf advisory remains in effect for beach
areas until 1 pm today, and a high rip current risk remains in
effect through tonight. /22

SHORT TERM...
(Friday night through Saturday night)
Issued at 503 AM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023

Overall, not much change to the previous forecast. Aloft a trough
advances across the western states into the central states through
Saturday and begins to strengthen Saturday night. An associated
surface low lifts from the central Plains to the Great Lakes, and
in the process brings a cold front through the forecast area late
Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Deep layer moisture
improves over the area as the front approaches, and will have
slight chance to chance pops return to the forecast for Saturday.
Have continued with chance pops for Saturday night (with likely
near the coast), then slight chance to chance pops follow for
Sunday morning as the front moves through the area. For Sunday
afternoon, have gone with small pops over the eastern portion of
the area for lingering precipitation in the wake of the front.
Shear values look to be generally modest ahead of the frontal
passage, and instability values appear to be generally limited
except for possibly the western portion of the area Saturday
afternoon into the early evening hours. At this time, the
environment does not appear to support much of a risk for strong
to severe storms but will continue to monitor. A high risk of rip
currents Thursday night will be followed by a moderate risk for
Friday and Friday night, afterwards a low risk is anticipated.
Lows Thursday night range from the mid to upper 50s around and
west of I-65 to around 60 further to the east. Lows Friday night
range from the mid 50s well inland to the mid 60s at the immediate
coast, then Saturday night will have lows in the lower to mid
60s. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will be mostly in the mid to
upper 70s (some low 80s). JEH/88

LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 503 AM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023

Very dry deep layer air flows into the area in the wake of the
cold front along with a surface high building into the area
through Monday night. A surface ridge evolves along the northern
Gulf coast by Tuesday which allows for a light return flow to
ensue, but deep layer moisture looks to remain too limited to
support consideration of pops and have continued with a dry
forecast through Wednesday. A gradual warm up in temps will occur
through the period, with mid 70s for highs to start of on Monday,
reaching low to mid 80s by Wednesday. Low temps follow suit, with
mid to upper 40s to starts off the period Sunday night, increasing
to the mid to upper 50s by Tuesday night. JEH/88

MARINE...
Issued at 503 AM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023

Moderate to strong southerly to southeasterly winds diminish to a
light to moderate while becoming southwesterly today. A Small
Craft Advisory remains in effect until 1 pm today winds and seas
to subside. Light to moderate onshore flow will follow through the
remainder of the week ahead of a cold front approaching from the
northwest. Winds will turn northwesterly to northerly early next
week as the front sweeps through the area. /22
