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 Jul 10, 3:06 PM CST, 14 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 406 PM CDT SUN JUL 10 2016 .NEAR TERM /Now Through Monday/...Little overall change in the weather pattern tonight and Monday. Surface ridge of high pressure ridging in from the east over the Gulf of Mexico will maintain the moist and unstable mainly south to southwesterly flow over the area...while a gradually weakening surface trof over interior Alabama and Mississippi remains nearly stationary through Monday. Shortwave trof aloft...just to the west of the forecast area...will continue to allow a series of weak upper level impulses to lift northeast across the area. The combination of these features and the moist and unstable airmass will maintain the unsettled weather pattern across the region. Afternoon showers and storms today will gradually dissipate after dark...with only an isolated chance of pcpn overnight. On Monday...expect much of the same as what we had this weekend...scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. As has been the case the past several days...some of the storms tomorrow afternoon will again be strong to briefly severe with damaging winds being the primary threat. Also same as today...max temps will peak late morning with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Widespread clouds...showers and storms tomorrow will also likely bring temps down into the 70s at many locations during the afternoon...although remaining very humid. Lows tonight in the lower 70s inland and the mid/upper 70s coastal. 12/DS .SHORT TERM /Monday night Through Wednesday night/...An upper level trough extending from the Ohio River Valley region to east Texas on continues to bisect two upper high pressure areas heading into the first half of the week. One high over the Desert Southwest/Northern Mexico and the other extending from the western Atlantic into the eastern gulf. Models still depict the trough to remain nearly stationary or edge very slightly eastward, resulting in a continued wet and unsettled weather pattern across the region thru the short term. Meanwhile, a surface ridge remains in a fixed position from the western Atlantic, across the Florida peninsula and into the central Gulf of Mexico. The overall pattern will keep a deeply moist, southerly component of wind and a mix of cloud cover in place. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will occur during the daytime hours with isolated to low end scattered coverage during the overnight hours. A few of the storms could be strong with gusty surface winds, frequent cloud to ground lightning and locally heavy rainfall. Additional widespread rainfall amounts will range from one- half to one inch with locally higher amounts in those areas that experience the passage of stronger thunderstorms. High temperatures Tue and Wed range from the lower to mid 90s interior to 87 to 91 closer to the coast. Low temperatures each night reflect very little change. Low to mid 70s interior, 77 to 81 along the beaches. /10 .LONG TERM /Thursday Through Sunday/...Upper level trough will eventually weaken and eject eastward through the end of the week, allowing an upper ridge to become re-established over the southern plains and northern Gulf of Mexico. A strong upper level shortwave over the northern plains/upper midwest mid week will move east over the northern Atlantic through Friday, but the main upper impulses should remain north of the region. However, isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to occur each day across the entire forecast area through the long term, again peaking during the maximum heating hours in the afternoon and early evening. High temperatures will continue to range from 90 to 95 degrees inland areas with upper 80s at the beaches. Low temperatures will range from 73 to 78 degrees inland areas and around 80 degrees along the beaches. /10 && .MARINE...A persistent ridge of high pressure will continue to stretch from the western Atlantic into the central Gulf of Mexico through the upcoming week. With this pattern...a light to occasionally moderate mainly southwest wind flow will persist. Little change in seas expected this week. Scattered to numerous showers and storms through Monday...gradually decreasing in coverage later in the week. 12/DS && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
