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 Jun 7, 12:07 PM CST, 1 hour 23 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 107 PM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .NEAR TERM... (Tonight) Issued at 106 PM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 Convective clusters will continue to develop through tonight along a weak low level west-east boundary. Buoyancy is plenty sufficient (SBCAPES of 3000-3500 j/kg) given dew points in the lower 70s. Loss of heating may decrease this a bit, but a nocturnal increase in the west-southwest LLJ may occur late tonight as an MCV from the current MCS in AR arrives. Locally heavy rainfall due to inflow PWs of 1.6+ inches and possible echo training. Will have to monitor flash flood potential more closely. Will hold off on a Flood Watch for now, but will advise next shift to watch closely. && .SHORT TERM... (Wednesday through Friday night) Issued at 106 PM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 As the MCV shifts southeast early Wed morning, there may be a waning period in convective intensity. However, persistent south- southwest low level flow will increase in advance of the next MCS which will arrive during the midday into the afternoon hours. The models are in some disagreement on the track of the centroid of the MCS (GFS further north and NAM further south). Either way, PoPs will be likely to categorical, with a gusty to damaging wind threat expected, along with locally excessive rainfall. The models continue to advertise a break in the activity Wednesday night through Thursday night with high pressure at the surface pushing through KY/TN and north AL. The active west-northwest flow pattern will dig another shortwave southeast with a cold front Friday into Friday evening. Storm relative inflow will increase rapidly Friday despite surface low level flow remaining somewhat minimal. PWs will remain in the 1.5-1.8 inch range at least. However, the big question is instability. The low level Theta-E and instability gradient will reside from northeast AR through west central AL by Friday afternoon. Thus, the risk of strong to severe storms may be greatest just to our southwest, but it will be close. Either way, PoPs will be in the high chance to likely range through Friday evening. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Monday) Issued at 106 PM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 After lingering showers end early Saturday, a dry and cooler weekend is anticipated. At least the odds are in favor of that. The northwest flow pattern may still bring MCS activity across AR into MS which will be close Sunday to our southwest. Deep layer ridging should build quickly Monday however. Highs will go from the upper 70s to lower 80s Saturday, to the 80s Sunday, to upper 80s to lower 90s Monday. So definitely a shift to summer weather rather quickly. Will keep Monday dry for now, but the GFS brings a "ridge rider" wave and possible thunderstorms south from the eastern corn belt through the TN valley Monday. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1121 AM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 Clusters of SHRA and TSRA will be persistent through the period. However, exact timing and location remain somewhat uncertain. Therefore have carried VCSH or VCTS throughout the period. Ceilings may dip into the MVFR category (below 030agl) at times, but should be VFR most of the period. Gusty winds and +RA are possible in and near TSRA. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. TN...None. && NEAR TERM...17 SHORT TERM....17 LONG TERM....17 AVIATION...17
