On Saturday, January 11th, clusters of thunderstorms developed during the early morning hours ahead of an approaching storm system across portions of south Central Alabama and moved northeastward producing isolated small hail. As this activity was ongoing, convection along a pre-frontal trough pushed into northwest Central Alabama, also producing small hail.

The episode as NWS BMX wrote it up.
On Saturday, January 11th, clusters of thunderstorms developed during the early morning hours ahead of an approaching storm system across portions of south Central Alabama and moved northeastward producing isolated small hail. As this activity was ongoing, convection along a pre-frontal trough pushed into northwest Central Alabama, also producing small hail. The line of storms intensified as it moved eastward, producing large hail, wind damage, and heavy rain.
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 Jan 11, 3:43 AM CST, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 343 AM CST SAT JAN 11 2014 .DISCUSSION... CURRENTLY IN THE 50S AND 60S ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AT THIS LATE HOUR WITH THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. A FAIRLY LARGE TURNAROUND FROM THE SINGLE DIGITS EARLIER THIS WEEK. A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE JUST MOVED INTO NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE ALONG A PREFRONTAL TROUGH. THE COLD FRONT IS STILL FURTHER TO THE WEST ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. FURTHER TO THE SOUTH...A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED EARLIER TONIGHT ALONG A WARM FRONT. THESE SHOWERS HAVE MOVED INTO GEORGIA AND THE FOCUS IS NOW ALONG THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH. DEWPOINTS ARE A FEW DEGREES HIGHER THAN WHAT A MAJORITY OF THE MODELS HAVE BEEN SHOWING. AT 3 AM...THE DEWPOINT IS 64 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT AT MONTGOMERY AND TROY. THE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE AREA IS CURRENTLY ELEVATED. THE 00Z SOUNDING INDICATED DECENT LAPSE RATES ALOFT AND EXPECT THESE LAPSE RATES HAVE INCREASED AS TEMPERATURES ALOFT HAVE COOLED WITH FALLING HEIGHTS. SO FAR...THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF WIND GUSTS IN THE 30-40 MPH RANGE WITH SMALL PEA SIZED HAIL. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF INSTANCES WITH THE 50 DBZ HEIGHT AROUND THE -20 DEGREE CELSIUS LEVEL OR HIGHER. THESE REFLECTIVITIES VALUES HAVE ONLY PRODUCED PEA TO POSSIBLY HALF INCH SIZED HAIL. THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN THE STORMS ACROSS THE CWA WITH VALUES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 60-70 KTS. LOW LEVEL SHEAR IS NOT TOO SHABBY WITH 0-1 KM SRH VALUES RANGING FROM 200-300 ACROSS THE SOUTH TO 300-400 ACROSS THE NORTH. THE QUESTION BECOMES CAN WE SEE ANY SURFACE BASED STORMS AS THE DEWPOINTS CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE 65 DEGREE ISODROSOTHERM CAREFULLY THIS MORNING...AS IT APPEARS STORMS COULD BECOME SURFACE BASED WITH DEWPOINTS REACHING THAT 65-67 DEGREE RANGE. EVEN SO...LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE POOR DUE TO THE SATURATED BOUNDARY LAYER. AT THIS TIME...EXPECT STRONG STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA WITH WIND GUSTS RANGING FROM 30-50 MPH WITH SMALL HAIL POSSIBLY UP TO PENNY SIZED. WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE TO MONITOR THE INCREASING DEWPOINTS AND AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM OR TWO WOULD NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION EARLY THIS MORNING. THE FRONT WILL CLEAR THE FORECAST AREA AROUND NOON AND EXPECT ANY CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM WILL BE OVER BY AROUND 11 AM. COLDER AIR WILL MOVE IN TO THE AREA TONIGHT BUT THE COLD AIR ADVECTION IS WEAK AND EXPECT TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY DROP DOWN TO NEAR NORMAL OR JUST ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. SUNDAY WILL BE A DECENT DAY IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS. SKIES SHOULD BE MOSTLY SUNNY AS A RIDGE SETS UP ACROSS THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO RIVER VALLEYS. TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S. THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN RETURNS ON MONDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE PLAINS. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING AND AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM. THEREFORE...HAVE INCREASED POPS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. PW VALUES WILL INCREASE TO OVER AN INCH AS THE FRONT APPROACHES WITH MEAN RH VALUES OVER 90 PERCENT. EXPECT RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF AN INCH TO AN INCH AND HALF WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM. NOT EXPECTING ANY FLOODING ISSUES AS THE SYSTEM EXITS THE AREA FAIRLY QUICKLY. ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL MOVE IN RIGHT BEHIND THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM. UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE WITH TEMPERATURES ALOFT COOLING RAPIDLY. THE OVERALL MOISTURE HAS DECREASED WITH THE LATEST MODELS AND HAVE LOWERED POPS WITH THE CLIPPER SYSTEM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. MODEL SOUNDINGS FROM THE GFS INDICATE THAT THE FREEZING LEVEL IS STILL A COUPLE OF THOUSAND FEET ABOVE THE GROUND BEFORE MIDNIGHT. THEREFORE...HAVE DELAYED THE MIXTURE OF RAIN/SNOW UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. 850MB TEMPERATURES DECREASE RAPIDLY ON WEDNESDAY DOWN TO THE -10 TO -12 DEGREES CELSIUS AND EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE A HARD TIME MAKING IT OUT OF THE 40S. TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE SOME ON THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM DIVES DOWN ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THE MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE EVEN MORE LIMITED THAN THE FIRST ONE. 05/MA && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF DISCUSSION. QUITE THE CONVECTION BAND HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE SE HALF OF C AL WHICH IS WELL AHEAD OF THE BAND OF SHOWERS/TSTORMS CLOSER TO THE FRONT...AFFECTING ANB/MGM/TOI. OUTSIDE OF RAIN AREAS WILL STILL HAVE IFR/LIFR CIGS & VSBYS THANKS TO OUR ISENTROPIC LIFT AND LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW ACROSS THE AREA. FRONT STILL FAIRLY FAR BACK TO OUR W AND WILL MOVE THRU DURING THE DAY ON SAT...WITH GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE JUST AHEAD OF AND BEHIND THE FRONT. TAFS SHOULD TRANSITION TO VFR AROUND MIDDAY INTO EARLY SAT AFTERNOON. 08/MK && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
