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 Feb 12, 6:00 AM CST, 2 hours 46 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 6:00 AM CST, 2 hours 46 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
600 AM CST Mon Feb 12 2024

...New AVIATION...

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 600 AM CST Mon Feb 12 2024

IFR conditions with showers and storms will continue through early
afternoon ahead of a cold front. The front will clear the area by
early afternoon with a cooler and drier airmass moving into the
area. VFR conditions develop by late afternoon and continue
through the period. /13

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 426 AM CST Mon Feb 12 2024/

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

NEAR TERM...
(Now through Tuesday)
Issued at 426 AM CST Mon Feb 12 2024

An upper upper trough will continue to eject out of the southern
plains. Increasing difluence across the Gulf Coast has led to a
broken line of showers and storms ahead of an approaching cold
front. Low level flow will continue to increase as the upper
trough approaches and takes on a neutral tilt this morning. The
increased shear combined with favorable instability is leading to
the development of some strong to severe storms ahead of the
front. Damaging winds will be the main threat along with isolated
tornadoes. A tornado watch remains in effect through this morning.
The cold front will sweep across the region through mid-morning
bringing an end to the severe weather threat. A drier and cooler
airmass will move in behind the front. In addition a high surf
advisory remains in effect for later today and tonight along with
a marine dense fog advisory for Mobile Bay and MS Sound. A dry,
cool and subsident airmass prevails on Tuesday under northwest
flow aloft. Most areas have already hit their high for today in
the upper 60s and low 70s. Highs on Tuesday will be much cooler,
in the upper 50s to around 60. /13

SHORT TERM...
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 426 AM CST Mon Feb 12 2024

As we go throughout the rest of the week, we'll see zonal flow
persist overhead with a surface high pressure building in on
Tuesday and gradually sliding over the area through Thursday.
Temperatures gradually warm as northwesterly surface winds shift
and become easterly to southerly. High temperatures start off in
the upper 50s and lower 60s on Tuesday and will increase to the
mid and upper 60s by Thursday. Lows are expected to follow a
similar pattern with mid and upper 30s Tuesday night reaching into
the 40s and perhaps lower 50s by Thursday night.

The pattern begins to change Friday and into the weekend as a
southern stream shortwave pushes across northern Mexico and flow
aloft turns southwesterly. Weak surface cyclogenesis is expected
in response over the western Gulf causing the surface high
pressure to be nudged out into the western Atlantic. The low
pressure and southwesterly flow aloft will send a plume of rich
Gulf moisture into the area by Friday evening and into Saturday as
it moves eastward along the northern Gulf Coast and adjacent land
areas. Guidance continues to keep this surface low over the Gulf
waters. In fact, this morning's guidance is actually starting to
hint at the low potentially being well south of the local marine
zones and more over the central Gulf. If this trend holds true,
then we could end up seeing lower rain chances than what is in the
current forecast. However, given that this is the first
indication of such, I have maintained the scattered to numerous
rain chances for Friday night into Saturday. Confidence in any
instability moving onshore remains very low especially now that
the surface low may trend even further south so I have kept
thunder out of the forecast. Rain chances then decrease from
northwest to southeast Saturday night into Sunday as the low
pushes to our east and a cold front moves through the area. Cooler
temperatures return over the weekend. /14

MARINE...
Issued at 426 AM CST Mon Feb 12 2024

Southerly winds increase and become westerly through Monday as a
cold front approaches then moves through the area. A strong
northwesterly flow with gusts to gale force follows for Monday
evening then gradually diminishes through Tuesday. Dense fog will
affect Mobile Bay and Mississippi Sound and may affect other bays
and near shore waters through early this morning. /13
