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 Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 27, 3:22 PM CST, 2 hours 38 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 422 PM CDT SAT JUN 27 2015 .SHORT TERM /NOW THROUGH SUNDAY/... A RIDGE-TROUGH PATTERN ACROSS THE CONUS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER EMBEDDED IN THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION WILL HOWEVER MOVE EAST- NORTHEASTWARD ABOUT 250 MILES...ALLOWING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH TO DIG FURTHER SOUTH OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. UPPER DISTURBANCES BETWEEN THE UPPER RIDGE AND TROUGH WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST AND MOVE OVER THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC...ACROSS THE SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA AND INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL REMAIN INTACT WHILE THE AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION ALSO MOVES EAST- NORTHEASTWARD...WITH A ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE NORTH. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL REMAIN HIGH...BETWEEN 1.9 AND 2.1 INCHES...OVER THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT. DRIER AIR WILL FOLLOW LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY AS THE COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE NORTHERN 2/3RDS OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES DROPPING TO BETWEEN 1.0 AND 1.5 INCHES. THE COLD FRONT HOWEVER IS EXPECTED TO STALL BEFORE REACHING THE COAST...SO PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE BETWEEN 1.6 AND 2.1 INCHES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN 1/3RD OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE UPPER DISTURBANCES WILL INTERACT WITH THE DEEP MOISTURE AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH MLCAPES NEAR 3000 J/KG...SO KEPT LIKLEY TO CATEGORICAL POPS FOR ONGOING CONVECTION THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND PERIODS OF VERY HEAVY RAIN ARE THE PRIMARILY THREATS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LINGER PAST MIDNIGHT...AND THEN DISSIPATE LATE TONIGHT ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES...WITH A CHANCE REMAINING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES. A SLIGHT UPTICK IN POPS WILL OCCUR ON SUNDAY...WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES...AND SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE LOW 70S INLAND AREAS WITH MID 70S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTAL SECTIONS. HIGH TEMPERATURES SUNDAY WILL RANGE FROM 85 TO 90 DEGREES. /22/ .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN CLOSE TO THE COAST AS WE HEAD TOWARD THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST. A SLIGHTLY DRIER AIRMASS BEHIND THE BOUNDARY WILL ALLOW PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN 1 AND 1.5 INCHES TO BE SEEN ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA NORTH OF THE IH-10 CORRIDOR. THIS SHOULD LIMIT THE OVERALL CONVECTIVE COVERAGE...EVEN WITH THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF AN AMPLIFIED FLOW ALOFT. IN GENERAL...THE GREATEST COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH MONDAY SHOULD BE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS AND EXTEND OFFSHORE. SINCE MUCH OF THE UPPER-LEVEL SUPPORT SHOULD REMAIN WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA...IT LOOKS LIKE THE SURFACE FRONT SHOULD WEAKEN/DISSIPATE BY TUESDAY. LOW-LEVEL SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS SHOULD RETURN TO THE REGION...ALLOWING GULF MOISTURE TO AGAIN SPREAD NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION. WITH A WEAKNESS IN THE UPPER RIDGE REMAINING ACROSS OUR REGION...LOOK FOR A CONTINUED POSSIBILITY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY SHOULD START TO EJECT/WEAKEN TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS SHOULD ALLOW RIDGING TO NOSE ITS WAY BACK INTO OUR AREA. AS A RESULT...IT LOOKS LIKE WE CAN EXPECT A LOWER COVERAGE OF CONVECTION AND WARMER TEMPERATURES HEADING INTO THE INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND. /02/ && .MARINE... MODERATE TO STRONG WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS BECOME WESTERLY FOR TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WHILE A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH AND STALLS NEAR THE COAST. A MODERATE WESTERLY FLOW TRANSITIONS TO A LIGHT SOUTHWEST FLOW DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER THE NORTHERN GULF. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE HIGHER NEAR STORMS. /22/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
