The episode as NWS BMX wrote it up.
Diurnal convection over Central Alabama during the afternoons of June 16 and 17 led to several instances of wind damage. One storm in particular caused fairly widespread tree damage across Anniston, Oxford, and Weaver in Calhoun County, with some trees falling on homes, vehicles, or power lines. More afternoon thunderstorms lingered over the Birmingham metro on June 18, causing minor flooding of several area roadways around downtown Birmingham, Homewood, and Irondale.
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 Jun 16, 11:54 AM CST, 3 hours 46 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 1254 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Tuesday) Issued at 1157 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2025 The short-term will remain on the disturbed side of things, as plenty of Gulf moisture keeps flowing into the region. Scattered thunderstorms are beginning to fire, and remain through the peak heating hours of the evening. By tomorrow, a weak trough will be dropping down along the Mississippi River, slowly sliding east into the evening hours. This trough ejection will coincide with peak heating, allowing for more widespread thunderstorm chances into the evening hours. However, just like today, the activity should begin to diminish once the sun goes down. Nothing has really changed in the temperatures department as well, with afternoon highs continuing to range in the upper-80s and low-90s, and overnight lows staying in the low-70s /44/ && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through next Sunday) Issued at 1157 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2025 The forecast will remain copy/paste through the middle of the workweek, with diurnally driven thunderstorms likely into the weekend. The pattern will begin to change closer to Friday, when another trough begins to move through the Midwest. As this trough gets closer to the East Coast, an elevated boundary will begin to sink through the region. While no temperature chances are expected with this boundary, it should be strong enough to put a cap on the thunderstorms chances. Instead, the rain chances will get pushed south, with most of the convection chances remaining below the I-20 corridor. Unfortunately, high pressure will begin to build in over the East Coast by Saturday, with afternoon high temperatures beginning to climb. By this time next week, we could be looking at highs area- wide in the low to mid-90s. /44/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1157 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2025 Thunderstorms are developing across the region, with all terminals carrying TSRA in PROB30 groups through 17/03z. Once the thunder activity subsides, MVFR CIGS should settle in across the area, with all terminals carrying MVFR conditions through 17/16z. From there, skies should mix out into VFR, with additional thunderstorms expected into the next TAF period. NOTE: AMD LTD TO CLD VIS AND WIND has been added at MGM until further notice due to comms issues. /44/ && .FIRE WEATHER... A disturbed pattern will remain across the area, with showers and thunderstorms remaining in the forecast through Friday. Given the moist airmass overhead, MinRH values will remain over 50% during this timeframe as well. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
