The episode as NWS MOB wrote it up.
Strong thunderstorms developed across southwest Alabama and produced gusty winds which caused damage.
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 Jun 10, 2:24 PM CST, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 324 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE... .NEAR TERM... (Now through Sunday) Issued at 324 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 Another round of showers and thunderstorms has begun at noontime. Better moisture levels stretching southwest south of a Waynesboro to Crestview line. Precipitable h20 levels between 1.5" and 1.7" were analyzed at this time. An upper level shortwave disturbance will move southeast towards the forecast area later this afternoon and this evening in the northwesterly upper level flow over the Southeast, helping to sustain convection longer into the evening. The limiting factor as to placement later this afternoon into this evening will be any usable instability left over from the developing convection, which is hard to pin down at this time. Am still expecting a few strong to marginally severe storms to develop this afternoon, with MLCapes rising into the 2500-3000J/kg range and DCapes into the 700-900J/kg range. Wind shear remains mediocre at best this afternoon, with bulk wind shear values less than 20kts. Sunday, with most of the forecast area behind the passing shortwave system, the area of best convection shifts to areas northeast of the forecast area, with a drier airmass seeing a significant moistening up along with an upper level shortwave system passing northeast of the forecast area. Instability remains sufficient for strong to marginally severe storms. Winds shear sees an uptick from today, with bulk wind shear values rising to the 25-35kt range in some of the guidance. Still on the low side, but a bit better for more organized storms. The best combination of ingredients for severe storms remains well west of the forecast area, though. Like today, SPC is advertising a Marginal risk for severe storms over mainly the western half of the forecast area. High temperatures around seasonal norms are expected this afternoon and Sunday, with a mean upper trough in place along the East Coast limiting upper subsidence somewhat from an upper ridge over the Plains. High temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s expected this afternoon and Sunday. With high precipitable h20 levels over the forecast area, Heat Indices are expected to top out in the upper 90s to near 103 southwest of a Waynesboro to Crestview line today. Tonight, guidance is advertising weaker northerly flow, when combined with an uptick in moisture levels and convection cloud cover lasing longer into the evening, low temperatures are expected to see an uptick from last night, with upper 60s along and north of Highway 84 to low to mid 70s south of I-10 expected. /16 && .SHORT TERM... (Sunday night through Tuesday night) Issued at 324 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 A series of upper level shortwaves push across the region as a large upper level low meanders its way east across the Great Lakes region. This sets up our forecast area in westerly to northwesterly flow aloft which gradually strengthens during the short term period into Tuesday night. Deep layer shear values steadily increase from around 25 to 35kts Sunday night to 40 to 50kts by Tuesday into Tuesday night. With each passing shortwave, there stands the risk for strong to severe thunderstorms considering the deep layer shear adequate for organized convection and expected afternoon/evening CAPE values exceeding 3,000 to 4,000j/kg. Even during the overnight hours each night we may manage to hang on to anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000j/kg of SBCAPE. Timing of the shortwaves is still a bit uncertain, but these will serve as the primary forcing mechanism for more robust severe potential at any point during the short term period. Splitting supercells and multicells eventually growing upscale into bowing segments or MCS's are the most likely storm modes. A couple timeframes of interest include early Sunday night continuing from the near term period and again on Monday afternoon into evening. Predictability becomes rather low heading into Tuesday. Primary hazards with storms will be damaging wind gusts, however large hail can't be ruled out in any discrete storms. Temperatures will warm into the upper 80's and lower 90's for most location each day, with lows in the upper 60's to lower 70's, middle 70's nearer the coast. A low risk of rip currents remains through the period. MM/25 && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 324 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 An upper trof over the northeast states evolves into a larger upper trof over the eastern states during the period due in part to a vigorous series of shortwaves progressing from the south central states to across the forecast region. A gradually weakening frontal boundary looks to be located primarily across northern Alabama and northern Mississippi Wednesday through Saturday, though there is some uncertainty with the exact position especially as the front becomes increasingly diffuse. The pattern appears to favor MCS development on Wednesday along with an outflow boundary progressing towards and into the forecast area Wednesday night. Have opted for slight chance to chance pops Wednesday with mostly chance pops for Wednesday night. Chance to good chance pops follow for Thursday based on an anticipated left over outflow boundary interacting with the series of shortwaves and daytime heating. Pops for Friday and Saturday are less clear as the series of shortwaves are anticipated to have weakened. Plenty of deep layer moisture remains in place over the forecast for the most part so have opted to continue with chance to good chance pops. Will need to monitor for the potential of strong storm activity mostly early on in the period when better bulk shear will be present. /29 && .MARINE... Issued at 324 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 Light to at times moderate onshore flow expected through most of the forecast. No impacts expected other than locally higher winds and waves near daily thunderstorms. /16 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
