The episode as NWS BMX wrote it up.
An upper-level low over the southwest United States evolved into a negatively-tilted shortwave trough as it moved over the southeastern United States. A warm front steadily moved northward during the morning and afternoon hours on Sunday, April 12. This allowed an unstable air mass to move northward and overspread much of the region. At the same time, very strong wind shear developed over Alabama as the upper trough neared the state.
An initial wave of severe storms affected areas near and north of Interstate 20, involving tornadoes, damaging straight-line winds, and some hail. Through the evening, a second wave of thunderstorms affected the remaining areas of Central Alabama with tornadoes and damaging straight-line winds. Flooding also resulted from training rainfall near and north of Interstate 20. Some roads became impassible or were washed out. This weather event was large in scope and produced severe weather from Oklahoma and Texas, through the southeastern United States, then up the east coast to New York.
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 Apr 12, 1:56 PM CST, 42 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 256 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020 .UPDATE... Long Term Discussion. && .SHORT TERM... /Updated at 0215 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020/ Mesoscale Update. The upper level trough is currently at a neutral tilt and was over Central Texas. Broad flat ridging was present to our east over the Carolinas. The primary surface low was located over Northern Oklahoma with a cold front extending to the south arcing eastward from Central Oklahoma through Central Texas. A secondary surface low was located across eastern Arkansas. The surface warm front has lifted north across much of the area with strong warm air advection and positive moisture advection occurring. Surface temperatures are now in the low 80s south with dew points around 70. The low-level jet continues to intensify with 50 kt winds now as low as 925 mb per the 18z sounding. The dynamics remain favorable with bulk shear values measured just over 60 kts and 0-1 km storm-relative helicity values computed remaining around 400 m2/s2. Thermodynamically, surface destabilization is underway from south to north. Convection has been more sparce now that the elevated mixed layer (EML) has streamed into the area aloft. This is allowing surface-based instability values to increase. This warm and dry layer will help act as a cap to limit convective development and allow for instability to build through time. The risk for tornadoes, including strong long-track tornadoes, will increase through the afternoon and into the evening hours as supercells may develop as the cap erodes with time as heights fall with the approaching upper trough and as shortwaves ripple over the area. Later this evening and tonight the forcing aloft will increase and a linear convective band is expected to push east across the area. Straight-line winds along with embedded tornadoes and the risk for hail will be present as the line of storms moves across the area. We will continue to provide mesoscale updates as we continue to analyze and gather additional observations and information. 05 .LONG TERM... /Updated at 0250 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020/ Monday through Saturday. Cooler, clearing conditions are expected on Monday as the cold front tracks towards the east coast. Lingering clouds may persist through the morning across our north as an upstream reinforcing front moves across the area, but a dry, northerly flow and increasing CAA will support sunny skies during the afternoon with highs in the lower 60s northwest to near 80F southeast. Guidance continues to indicate the front stalling generally east to west across the Gulf Coast region on Tuesday before lifting slightly into southern portions of Alabama early Wednesday morning. This should focus highest PoPs over our southeastern quadrant, but a flattened low-level ridge over the Lower MS Valley may hinder much of the activity from entering our forecast area, so PoPs may be lowered in future updates. Otherwise, the remainder of the extended will remain dry and cool as the weak low-level ridge slides eastward across the region with dry zonal flow aloft persisting through the period. Northeasterly flow Thursday morning should allow temps to lower into the 30s. Therefore, I continued to mention localized patchy frost across our northern counties. The latest round of data indicates lows may be a couple degrees warmer than previously forecast, but leaned on the cooler side since models are typically too warm under northeasterly flow. Rain chances will begin increasing at the end of the week as another low propagates across the Desert SW towards the Tennessee Valley. Kept PoPs around 40-50% since there is still plenty of uncertainty regarding timing, moisture return, and the evolution of the system. 86 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF Discussion. A warm front is lifting northward across the area this afternoon with associated thunderstorm activity occurring across our northern terminals. Most of the activity during the afternoon should be limited by a low-level inversion with ceilings gradually rising into VFR criteria through the afternoon hours. However, an isolated shower or storm will remain possible through the early/mid afternoon at all terminals and may produce brief drops in flight conditions. Nearing 21-22Z, conditions will become more favorable for severe storms as a cold front begins tracking into the Lower MS Valley, initially across our western sites, but spreading eastward through the evening. Lower ceilings and visibilities will accompany the line of +TSRA as it passes through. Additionally, pressure gradient winds will increase this afternoon with southerly gusts up to 30-35kts outside of any thunderstorm activity. VFR conditions will return after midnight at all sites with winds becoming northwesterly, but an upstream reinforcing front may produce lowering ceilings around 14Z for our northern terminals with improvements expected beyond this forecast period. 86 && .FIRE WEATHER... Widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected today and tonight across Central Alabama. Winds will be gusty for much of the day, even outside thunderstorm activity. Drier weather builds in for most of the area on Monday before more rain showers lift into our southeastern areas Tuesday night into Wednesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
