Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The watch it was issued in

JPWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, 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 this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 14, 11:48 AM CDT, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 11:48 AM CDT, 1 hour 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...MESOSCALE UPDATE...
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1148 AM CDT SAT APR 14 2007
JUST A QUICK UPDATE TO SAY THAT THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG
TIMING-WISE ABOUT AS EXPECTED. LATEST WFO MOBILE ALABAMA LAPS
MESOSCALE ANALYSIS...WHICH ASSIMILATES LOCAL MESONET SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS...SHOWS THAT ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE
RAPIDLY INVOF WHERE SFC HEATING IS OCCURRING ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF
I-10. SFC TEMPS HAVE RISEN INTO MID 70F RANGE OVER INTERIOR SW AL
AND SC ALABAMA TO NEAR 80F ALONG THE COAST. THIS IS RESULTING IN
SBCAPES APPROACHING 2000 J KG-1. SR HEL FIELD IS STILL MEAGER
(MOSTLY < 150 M2 S-2) WITH HIGHEST SR HELICITIES RIGHT ALONG LINE
(BEING INDICATED BY MESOSCALE PRESSURE TROUGH). LOOKS LIKE WELL
HAVE TO WATCH FOR STORMS MOVING TO RIGHT OF MEAN WIND TO INGEST
HIGHER SRH VALUES IN THE SHORT-TERM. IT IS ALSO APPARENT THAT
ATMOSPHERE EAST OF I-65 IS CAPPED FOR THE MOMENT. WHEN THIS
BREAKS...IT COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SUPPORT A WAVE
OF ISOLATED SUPERCELLS AHEAD OF THE TSTM LINE CURRENTLY MOVG THROUGH
INTERIOR SE MS.
PER LATEST SPS PRODUCT (BHMSPSMOB)...DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL
ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN SCATTERED STORMS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE
MAIN LINE OF STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. THE SQUALL LINE WILL ADVANCE TO
ACROSS COASTAL AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AROUND MID DAY...AND ACROSS THE
WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALABAMA IN THE MID TO
LATE AFTERNOON HOURS.
OVER PAST HOUR...JUST UPDATED THE ZONES AND COASTALS FOR TORNADO
WATCH 141 THAT IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CDT. PLEASE REFER TO PRODUCT
BHMWCNMOB FOR LATEST UPDATES ON TORNADO WATCH 141 IN SPACE AND
TIME. ALSO...WILL PASS ALONG LATEST TRENDS IN THINKING OF HOW EVENT
WILL EVOLVE IN THE NOWCAST PRODUCT (BHMNOWMOB).
/23 MEDLIN
----------------------------------------------------------------
...MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...
.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...PARAMETERS APPEAR TO BE COMING
TOGETHER FOR A VERY ACTIVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM EVENT ACROSS THE
CENTRAL GULF COAST. LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES A DOUBLE WARM
FRONT SETUP. THE FIRST WARM FRONT HAS MOVED INTO CENTRAL MS AND AL
FROM JUST NORTH OF MERIDIAN TO NEAR MONTGOMERY. THE SECONDARY WARM
FRONT WHICH SEPARATES THE TRULY TROPICAL AIRMASS IS LOCATED FROM
KTVR IN EXTREME EASTERN LOUISIANA SOUTHEASTWARD TO JUST NORTH OF THE
OFFICE HERE AT KMOB. THE DEWPOINT AT THE OFFICE HAS RISEN 16 DEGREES
SINCE 00Z. AS THE UPPER DYNAMICS GET CLOSER LATER THIS MORNING SFC
LOW PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN AND MOVE RAPIDLY NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY BY MID DAY. AS THIS OCCURS THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL
ALSO SPREAD EASTWARD...ALLOWING THE SECOND WARM FRONT TO SURGE
NORTHWARD AND SPREAD A WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS ACROSS THE ENTIRE GULF
COAST REGION LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. SOME OF THIS WIND
WILL MIX DOWN TODAY CREATING GUSTY CONDITIONS OF 15 TO 20 MPH W/
OCCASIONAL HIGHER GUSTS OVER INTERIOR ZONES...AND 20 TO 25 MPH W/
OCCASIONAL HIGHER GUSTS OVER COASTAL ZONES...WHICH WILL BE JUST
BELOW LOCAL WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.
SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED ALLOWING TEMPS TO CLIMB
INTO THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 AND WHEN COMBINED W/ DEWPOINTS THAT
CLIMB INTO THE MID AND UPPER 60S WILL YIELD MLCAPE VALUES NEAR 1200
J/KG. OF GREATER CONCERN IS THAT THE LOW LEVEL JET OF 45 TO 50 KNOTS
IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST DOWNSTREAM OF THE ADVANCING TROUGH LEADING TO
LARGE LOW LEVEL HODOGRAPHS W/ STORM-RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES >200
M2/S2. THUS AS THE SQUALL LINE CURRENTLY OVER CENTRAL LOUISIANA
MOVES EAST IT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE AND INTENSIFY AS
THE DOWNSTREAM AIRMASS DESTABILIZES. THE GREATEST THREAT W/ THIS
LINE WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...AND A WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND EVENT
IS POSSIBLE.
WHILE TORNADOES ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE WITHIN THE LINE...THE GREATER
TORNADO AND ALSO LARGE HAIL THREAT WILL BE IN DISCRETE THUNDERSTORMS
AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE. FORECAST SOUNDING FROM BOTH THE NAM12 AND
GFS40 INDICATE A LOADED GUN APPEARANCE FROM 15Z TO 18Z W/ A STOUT
CAP AROUND 850 MBS. IF THUNDERSTORMS ARE ABLE TO BREACH THIS CAP AND
REMAIN ISOLATED AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE...THEY WILL QUICKLY BECOME
SUPERCELLULAR W/ ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE. THE SQUALL
LINE WILL MOVE EAST AND OUT OF THE AREA BY LATE THIS EVENING. ALL
INTERESTS SHOULD PREPARE FOR SEVERE WEATHER TODAY...HAVE A METHOD OF
RECEIVING WEATHER INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND HAVE A PLAN OF
ACTION SHOULD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH. THE FRONT WILL MOVE
EAST OF THE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT W/ A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS
MOVING INTO THE REGION. /13
&&
.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...STILL NO MAJOR CHANGES OF
NOTE FOR THIS FCST PERIOD. DRIER AND COOLER HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVER THE REGION SUNDAY AND MONDAY...THEN WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR WEATHER AFFECTING THE AREA DURING THE
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY TIMEFRAME...BUT TIMING ISSUES CONTINUE. CURRENTLY
APPEARS BEST CHANCES FOR PCPN WILL BE AROUND TUESDAY NIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE REBUILDS OVER THE AREA ONCE AGAIN BY THURSDAY. TEMPS
GENERALLY SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORM DURING LONG TERM PERIOD. /12
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...INCREASING CLOUDINESS AND CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND THIS EVENING...SO NO FIRE ISSUES WITH REGARD
TO RH VALUES TODAY. WILL BE VERY BREEZY ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND
TONIGHT HOWEVER...PRODUCING HIGH DISPERSION VALUES. /12
&&
.MARINE...STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW IN EXCESS OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
LEVELS WILL PERSIST THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE MARINE AREA. THE FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE
MARINE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT W/ WINDS BECOMING NORTHWEST AND
INCREASING TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS OFFSHORE. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
WEAKEN BY LATE SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GULF. AS THE HIGH MOVES EAST ON TUESDAY AN ONSHORE FLOW WILL RETURN
IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. ONSHORE FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN BY MID WEEK AS THE LOW
APPROACHES AND MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. /13
