The episode as NWS BMX wrote it up.
Overall, May was another dry month for southeastern sections of Central Alabama. Monthly rainfall southeast ranged from less than one inch to just over three inches. The entire range was below normal. Additionally, hot weather developed at the end of May which increased the drought effects. May ended with Severe Drought (D2) and Extreme Drought (D3) conditions existing over southeastern sections. These drought conditions affected Barbour, Tallapoosa, Chambers, Macon and Lee Counties.
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 Birmingham, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 30, 11:18 PM CST, 42 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 1218 AM CDT SUN MAY 01 2011 .UPDATE...FOR AVIATION. && .AVIATION...06Z TAF DISCUSSION. VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD REMAINS DOMINANT. LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS OVERNIGHT SHOULD PICK UP DURING THE DAY WITH MIXING AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE ELONGATED SURFACE HIGH. A FEW MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO STREAM IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST AS A STRONG BOUNDARY STALLS TO OUR NORTHWEST. NOTICE...KEET TAF WILL HAVE (AMD LTD TO VIS WIND AND WX) AMENDED TO THE END OF THE FORECAST UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THE CEILOMETER DATA WILL BE GOING THROUGH NUMEROUS TESTS AND MONITORED FOR ACCURACY. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 410 PM CDT SAT APR 30 2011/ DISCUSSION... RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO GIVE WAY TONIGHT IN ANTICIPATION OF AN INCOMING COLD FRONT. RIDGING BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL HELP STALL THIS FRONT AND MOST OF THE RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH IT JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE AREA. THERE IS A SMALL POSSIBILITY OF RAIN THAT COULD MOVE INTO THE MARION AND WINSTON COUNTIES AREA. FOR THE MOST PART...MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL REMAIN JUST TO THEIR NORTHWEST. AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE SLIDING THROUGH LATE MONDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES WILL HELP PUSH THE FRONT THROUGH. WE COULD SEE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MOVING INTO THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA LATE MONDAY NIGHT...BUT THE MAIN BULK OF THE RAIN IS PROJECTED BY THE MODELS TO MOVE IN DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. NOT OVERLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER YET. BOTH EUROPEAN AND GFS MODELS PULL MOST OF THE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS AWAY BEFORE THE FRONT REACHES CENTRAL ALABAMA. HOWEVER...THE NAM IS THE OUTLIER AS IT DOES KEEP A LOW LEVEL JET IN PLACE. GIVEN THAT THIS IS THE OUTLIER SOLUTION...WILL DISREGARD THE NAM FROM THE FORECAST. AS WE CURRENTLY STAND...WE COULD SEE SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE POST FRONTAL WHICH SHOULD HELP KEEP LIGHTNING ACTIVITY TO A MINIMAL DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. COLD FRONT EXITS THE AREA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...BEING REPLACED BY HIGH PRESSURE ON WEDNESDAY. AS A RESULT...DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. 10/ARM && .BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
