This event is a continuation of a flash flood event that started during the evening hours on March 31st.
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 Mar 31, 11:05 PM CST, 55 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 1205 AM CDT FRI APR 1 2016 .UPDATE... MESOSCALE UPDATE. && .DISCUSSION... OUR AREA OF FOCUS REMAINS ACROSS OUR FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES WHERE TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN THE LOW TO MID 70S AND DEW POINTS RANGE FROM THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70 AT TROY. A COMPLEX OF STORMS IS CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE MONTGOMERY METRO AREA AND WILL CONTINUE MOVING EAST AND WILL AFFECT PORTIONS OF LEE... MACON AND PORTIONS OF RUSSELL COUNTY. THESE STORMS PRIMARILY POSE A DAMAGING WIND THREAT... THROUGH THEY ARE PRODUCING SMALL HAIL AND THE RELATIVELY SLOW RATE OF MOTION IS POSING A RISK FOR HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. OTHER THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE GENERALLY TO THE NORTHEAST ACROSS OUR SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH-CENTRAL COUNTIES WITH THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY OVER PORTIONS OF PERRY AND BIBB COUNTIES. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WERE LOCATED ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN MISSISSIPPI. ALL OF THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE HAIL. THE RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES HAS DECREASED GREATLY SINCE INSTABILITY VALUES HAVE DECREASED ACROSS OUR WESTERN AND CENTRAL COUNTIES. A LOW LEVEL JET DID MAKE AN APPEARANCE ON THE MXX VAD WIND PROFILE AS LOW AS 4000 FEET. THE AIRMASS REMAINS RELATIVELY UNSTABLE ACROSS OUR FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES AND THE DIRECTIONAL SHEAR FROM THE PROFILER PRODUCT BEFORE THE COMPLEX MOVED ACROSS THE RADAR SITE INDICATED SUFFICIENT SPEED AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR TO MAINTAIN A RISK FOR ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS AND POSSIBLE TORNADOES. THUS... THE TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS UNTIL THE AIRMASS STABILIZES. 05 && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF DISCUSSION. RADAR LOOPS JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT SHOWED RAIN/STORMS WERE MOVING BASICALLY DUE EAST...WHICH MEANS THAT ALL CENTRAL ALABAMA TAF LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY GET RAIN/STORMS A BIT LONGER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE INTENSITY OF THE STORMS HAS DECREASED...SO WIND GUSTS SHOULD BE LESS OF AN ISSUE. CEILINGS WERE STILL PRETTY MUCH ALL OVER THE PLACE...AND TRYING TO TIME EACH INDIVIDUAL EXCURSION ABOVE OR BELOW 3000...2000...OR 1000 FT IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE. THE RAIN DOESN'T HELP IN THIS REGARD... TOO...SINCE IT SOMETIMES ACTUALLY CAUSES CEILINGS TO IMPROVE WHILE CAUSING VISIBILITY TO DROP. MOST MODELS STILL INSIST ON BRINGING SOME DRYING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON FRIDAY. THIS WOULD MOST AFFECT THE INTERSTATE 20 SET OF AIRPORTS...LESS SO MGM AND TOI. /61/ && .FIRE WEATHER... MOISTURE VALUES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS MORNING AS RAIN AND STORMS MOVE INTO WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE MORNING. GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TODAY...OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION. ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. A SLOW MOVING FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE AREA...AND ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. THE THREAT OF RAIN WILL END ONCE THE FRONT CLEARS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT. DRY CONDITIONS RETURN FOR THE WEEKEND. NO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. && .HYDROLOGY... MOST OF THE HEAVIER RAIN SO FAR HAS BEEN IN OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES(I.E., MARION, LAMAR, WINSTON, FAYETTE AND WALKER) WHERE AMOUNTS SO FAR HAVE AVERAGED ONE TO TWO INCHES...WITH VERY LOCALIZED TOTALS TO THREE INCHES. ELSEWHERE MOST LOCATIONS HAVE RECEIVED AN INCH OR LESS SO FAR. ALTHOUGH USGS GAGES INDICATE STREAM FLOWS NOW AT OR SOMEWHAT ABOVE NORMAL IN THE NORTHWEST COUNTIES...MOST OTHER STREAMS STILL REMAIN NEAR OR BELOW NORMAL LEVELS. THIS SUGGESTS THAT MOST AREA STREAMS CAN STILL HANDLE A FAIR AMOUNT OF RUNOFF FROM THE RAINFALL THAT IS YET TO COME TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. FLOOD WARNINGS ARE CURRENTLY ISSUED FOR THE TOMBIGBEE RIVER AND FOR SELDEN DAM ON THE LOWER BLACK WARRIOR FOR MINOR FLOODING. BEFORE ALL IS SAID AND DONE COULD STILL SEE A FEW OTHER LOCATIONS REACH MINOR FLOOD STAGE BUT STILL NOT EXPECTING MAJOR FLOOD EVENT TO UNFOLD ON AREA RIVERS. AT THIS TIME MODELS SUGGEST THERE COULD BE ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN (PERHAPS ONE TO TWO INCH AVERAGES) ACROSS SOME OF OUR NORTHERN AREAS TONIGHT. THEN LIKELY TO SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF SIMILAR TOTALS DEVELOP ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHERN SECTIONS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IN GENERAL EXPECT ANOTHER ONE TO THREE INCHES ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA BY THE TIME THE RAIN TAPERS OFF BY EARLY SATURDAY...WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER TOTALS POSSIBLE IN AREAS OF TRAINING ECHOES. 41 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1202 AM CDT FRI APR 1 2016/ OUTSIDE OF A SMALL POSSIBILITY OF A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THAT MAY PRODUCE HAIL... THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT HAS NEARLY ENDED ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS MOVING TO THE EAST FROM WESTERN ETOWAH COUNTY SOUTHWEST INTO SHELBY COUNTY SOUTH INTO WESTERN CHILTON COUNTY AND FURTHER SOUTHWEST TO NEAR SELMA. ANOTHER PERSISTENT COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS LOCATED ACROSS NORTHERN MACON COUNTY AND WAS AFFECTING PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN TALLAPOOSA... SOUTHWEST CHAMBERS... AND WESTERN LEE COUNTIES. SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY HAS BEEN DECREASING IN AREAS AFFECTED BY THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS EVENING WITH THE MOST UNSTABLE AIRMASS REMAINING ACROSS OUR FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO STABILIZE OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF OUR AREA. MXX VAD WIND PROFILE CONTINUES TO INDICATE SOUTHERLY NEAR SURFACE WINDS AT ABOUT 10 KNOTS WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS ABOVE 3000 FEET... INCREASING FROM 25 KNOTS AT 2000 FEET TO 50 KNOTS AT 13000 FEET. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS ALONG WITH ROTATION AND THE RISK OF ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. MANY OF THE STORMS THIS EVENING HAVE PRODUCED HAIL AND THAT WILL REMAIN A THREAT WITH THESE STORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT. AN URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT TO THE WEST OF MONTGOMERY... INCLUDING SELMA. RELATIVELY SLOW STORM MOTIONS ALONG WITH THE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUE OF 1.34 INCHES RECORDED ON THE 00Z BMX SOUNDING WILL SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS THAT MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. 05 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
