The episode as NWS HUN wrote it up.
Isolated thunderstorms redeveloped during the late afternoon and early evening hours in northwest Alabama. One of the storms knocked small trees down north and northwest of Florence in Lauderdale County.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 19, 2:19 PM CST, 1 hour 54 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 319 PM CDT SAT JUN 19 2010 .DISCUSSION...COOLER DAYTIME HIGHS TODAY DUE TO STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THAT CROSSED THE AREA EARLIER THIS MORNING. TEMPS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RISE MORE IN NW AL WHEREAS THE REST OF THE TN VALLEY HAS BEEN UNDER A CIRRUS CANOPY AND LEFTOVER CLOUDS FROM THE CONVECTION. MEANWHILE...ANOTHER RATHER IMPRESSIVE MCS IS MAKING ITS WAY SOUTHEAST FROM MO. FOR TONIGHT...NOT EXPECTING ANY FURTHER CONVECTION THIS EVENING DUE TO THE HEAVILY WORKED OVER AIR MASS. IN FACT...THE MCS THAT IS PROCEEDING IN THIS DIRECTION WILL PROBABLY FALL APART BEFORE IT ARRIVES OVER THE AREA. THUS...WILL KEEP LOW END POPS FOR THE AREA ON TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PASSING OVER THE REGION FROM THE MCS...POPS MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED HIGHER. PATCHY FOG IS LIKELY TONIGHT WITH THE RAINFALL RECEIVED TODAY ALONG WITH CALM WINDS AND AN INVERSION. A RIDGE CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER TX WILL BEGIN TO BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEAST AND EXPECTING IT TO BE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST. IT SHOULD BE RATHER HOT AND HAZY ALONG WITH SOME PATCHES OF CLOUD COVER. AFTER THE FOG CLEARS TOMORROW...DAYTIME HIGHS SHOULD REACH WELL INTO THE 90S WITH HEAT INDICES APPROACHING OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE 100 DEGREES IN SOME LOCATIONS. BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THE RIDGE BECOMES STRONGER OVER THE AREA AND ONE OR BOTH OF THESE DAYS MAY HAVE TEMPS RISING TO OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE 100 DEGREES. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH THAT THE SUBSIDENCE WILL MIX DOWN ENOUGH DRY AIR TO THE SURFACE TO KEEP HEAT INDICES FROM CLIMBING TO 105. THUS...HAVE KEPT UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S AS DEWPOINTS FOR NOW. WEDNESDAY MAY EXHIBIT SIMILAR CONDITIONS AS THE RIDGE MOVES EAST AND SETS UP ALMOST ATOP THE AREA. GFS HAS A WEAK COOL FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE REGION ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON WHICH COULD BRING SOME COOLER DEWPOINTS...BUT NOT SURE ABOUT ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OR COOLER TEMPS. SO...HAVE LEFT AFTERNOON TEMPS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S AND NIGHTTIME LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S FOR NOW. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
