Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, 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 this tornado warning went out at Aug 24, 12:52 PM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 24, 12:52 PM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
1252 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2008

.UPDATE...AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

DRY AIR CONTINUES TO ERODE A LOT OF THE PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED
WITH TROPICAL DEPRESSION FAY ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. THERE IS
STILL A GOOD AMOUNT OF COVERAGE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. INSTEAD
OF BEING A BIG BLOB OF RAIN...IT WILL MAINLY BE INDIVIDUAL RAIN
BANDS. THESE RAIN BANDS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THE HEAVIER
RAIN AMOUNTS. ONE CONCERN WITH THIS DRY AIR INTRUSION IS THAT IT IS
ALLOWING SUN LIGHT TO PEAK THROUGH AND THUS INCREASE TEMPERATURES
WHICH COULD ALSO INCREASE INSTABILITY. SHEAR VALUES ARE STILL VERY
HIGH AND SUPPORTIVE OF TORNADIC ACTIVITY. WELL CONTINUE TO
CLOSELY MONITOR THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION.

TEMPERATURES ARE A LITTLE TRICKY. WENT AHEAD AN INCREASED THE
PREVIOUS AFTERNOON HIGHS...BUT AS I TYPE THIS...SOME SPOTS HAVE
REACHED MY FORECAST HIGH. SO WILL GO AHEAD AND DO SOME MORE
TWEAKING. IT LOOKS LIKE ANY AREA WHERE THE SUN CAN SHINE LONG
ENOUGH WILL SEE A QUICK JUMP IN TEMPERATURES.

UPDATED FORECAST WILL BE OUT SHORTLY.

10/ARM

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A LITTLE GUSTY THIS AFTERNOON. AS
TROPICAL DEPRESSION FAY MOVES WEST...EXPECT THESE WINDS TO SLOWLY
DECREASE. STILL EXPECTING A FAIRLY GOOD AMOUNT OF RAIN COVERAGE.
HOWEVER...INSTEAD OF BEING A LARGE AREA OF RAIN...IT WILL BE IN
THE FORM OF INDIVIDUAL RAIN BANDS. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY
OF EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THESE BANDS. IF ANY OF THESE RAIN
BANDS AFFECT A TAF SITE...EXPECT TORRENTIAL RAIN WHICH WILL BRING
VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS DOWN TO THE IFR RANGE. RAIN COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED TO SLOWLY DECREASE AFTER 00Z. HOWEVER...FLIGHT
RESTRICTIONS WILL CONTINUE AS CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP IN THE
MVFR RANGE...AND COULD POSSIBLE DROP INTO IFR MAINLY AFTER 06Z.

10/ARM

&&

.BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...LAKE WIND ADVISORY THROUGH 7 PM
FOR ALL AREAS.

130 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE COUNTIES SERVED BY THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE IN BIRMINGHAM.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL ALABAMA
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR TORNADOES WILL BE ALONG
THE STRONGER RAIN BANDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF FAY.
ADDITIONALLY...BE AWARE THAT THESE TROPICAL SHOWERS PRODUCE LITTLE
LIGHTNING AND THUNDER.

WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF
CENTRAL ALABAMA THROUGH 7 PM. AREA MARINE INTERESTS SHOULD EXERCISE
CAUTION WHEN VENTURING OUT INTO THE OPEN WATERWAYS. HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES...ESPECIALLY TRAVELING NORTH TO SOUTH...SHOULD BE
ALERT TO THESE CROSS WINDS. DUE TO THE STRESS ON TREES
FROM THE RECENT DROUGHT...TREE LIMBS AND WEAKER TREES MAY BE MORE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAKING UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL EXIST MONDAY AND TUESDAY UNTIL THE
REMNANT CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH FAY EXITS THE AREA. SOME
UNCERTAINTY DOES EXIST WITH PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN
AMOUNTS...BUT AN ADDITIONAL 4 TO 8 INCHES MAY BE POSSIBLE ACROSS A
LARGE PART OF CENTRAL ALABAMA THROUGH TUESDAY. IF THESE RAIN AMOUNTS
MATERIALIZE...IT WOULD TRANSLATE INTO A POTENTIAL RIVER FLOODING
PROBLEM BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WILL BE
NECESSARY TODAY.
