The episode as NWS HUN wrote it up.
A thunderstorm knocked a couple of trees down on the south side of Albertville during the late afternoon hours.
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 Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 14, 2:16 PM CST, 1 hour 9 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 316 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2019 .NEAR TERM...(Tonight) Issued at 316 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2019 An area of showers that impacted parts of the Tennessee Valley earlier today have for the most part faded. A deck of rather dense mid/high altitude clouds persisted over the greater Huntsville area, bringing a localized relief from the very warm to hot conditions for today so far. The 3 PM temperatures in Huntsville were around 80 degrees (at the Arsenal and Int'l Airport). Much warmer temperatures reigned elsewhere, with readings into the lower 90s over NW Alabama. The clouds as of this writing persisted over parts of north central Alabama and adjacent southern middle Tennessee. Clouds elsewhere that broke up, with destabilization from more direct solar insolation has resulted in showers and storms firing, mostly from northern Georgia to far western North Carolina. Other more isolated convection was forming just south of our forecast area and north of I-20 of NE Alabama. Shower activity across the area should fade this evening with a loss of daytime heating. Slightly cooler air filtering in NW of a weak frontal boundary currently traversing the area, will result in low temperatures a tad cooler than they have been of late; ranging in the mid 60s to around 70. Residual moisture from showers that impacted parts of the Tennessee Valley, as well as longer late summer nights and light winds will be conducive to fog formation in the overnight. Kept the fog in areas mainly that were affected by rainfall, as well as those normally fog prone areas. Some of the fog could become locally dense, with visibilities briefly reduced to 1/4 of mile at times. Any fog that forms should dissipate shortly after sunrise Sunday morning. .SHORT TERM...(Sunday through Monday) Issued at 316 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2019 The warmth will return to start a new work week, as any remaining fog dissipates shortly after sunrise. The "new" airmass west of the front will quickly moderate, resulting in high temperatures on Sunday rising back into the low/mid 90s. "Normal" high/low temperatures on Monday, Sept 16th for the record are around 85/63. High temperatures for both Mon/Tue looks to rise into the mid 90s, with maybe a few upper 90s in those hotter spots. A more amplified ~500mb pattern is forecast to become established over the lower-48. It will feature rather deep troughing over the western CONUS, and upper ridging over the SE states. This will help keep the warmth going into the mid week. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Friday) Issued at 316 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2019 The hot and dry pattern will continue through the extended period as upper ridging continues to build over the eastern CONUS. This will work to keep afternoon highs in the 90s across much of the area and overnight lows near 70. The only potential source of relief will be a wedge front centered over the Atlantic Coast/Appalachians as Humberto tracks off to the east toward the end of the work week. This should drop temps a few degrees cooler to the upper 80s and low 90s during the day and middle 60s overnight, but still above normal for mid-September. The air accompanying this front should remain relatively dry, so have kept any mentionable PoPs out of the extended period for now. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1252 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2019 A frontal boundary extending from near Cookeville, Huntsville, and Russellville will continue creeping to the SE. Weak lift provided by the boundary could help set off a few showers (and maybe a t-storm or two) this afternoon, mainly for areas near and SE of KHSV. Given that KHSV has already received a wetting rain in the morning, clearing skies and light winds tonight will be conducive to fog formation. Have a TEMPO of light fog at KMSL at 5SM VIS, with 4SM at KHSV reflecting somewhat better fog chances. VIS values could be reduced to IFR, possibly lower before daybreak Sun. VFR weather should return a few hours after sunrise. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE.
