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 Jan 10, 5:30 PM CST, 5 hours 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 10, 5:30 PM CST, 5 hours 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
530 PM CST THU JAN 10 2008

.UPDATE...UPDATED FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT.

COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE PUSHING THROUGH THE CWA DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. LATEST TIMING SUGGESTS THAT MUCH OF THE
ACTION WILL WRAP UP BY THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THE INTENSITY
SHOULD ALSO BEGIN DECREASING BY MIDNIGHT WITH MAINLY A LINE OF
SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO MOUNT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT WITH
TOTALS OVER AN INCH IN MANY LOCATIONS.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

WEATHER BECOMING SOMEWHAT QUIETER THAN TODAY IN THE LONGER TERM.
THE GENERAL SETUP IS A LARGE SCALE RIDGE-TROUGH FLOW ACROSS THE
CONUS. CLOSER TO HOME...SEVERAL SYSTEMS ARE SET TO MAKE A RUN AT
THE AREA. THE FIRST ON SUNDAY STILL APPEARS TO BE ON THE DRY SIDE
WITH THE LOW CENTER FORMING ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF AND SLIDING
JUST TO OUR SOUTH...MEANWHILE A SHORTWAVE MOVES AT US FROM THE
NORTHWEST. FOR NOW...LOOKS LIKE OUR CWA WILL BE SOMEWHERE IN THE
MIDDLE WITH SHOWERS TO OUR NORTH AND SOUTH. WILL BEAR WATCHING
FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE TIMING AS IT COULD BE A CLOSE CALL WITH
RESPECT TO FROZEN PRECIP.

THE SECOND SYSTEM ON TUESDAY WILL SLIDE JUST TO OUR NORTH AND ONCE
AGAIN IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL BE ON THE DRIER SIDE. IF THINGS
CHANGE...ESPECIALLY IF THE SYSTEMS DIVES FURTHER SOUTH OR
STRENGTHENS...WE COULD BE LOOKING AT ANOTHER POSSIBILITY OF FROZEN
WEATHER.

FINALLY...A STRONGER PUSH FROM THE UPPER LEVELS WILL BRING
ANOTHER SHOT OF WET WEATHER OUR WAY. THIS SYSTEM LOOKS A BIT MORE
FORMIDABLE AT LEAST UPON FIRST GLANCE. THE TIMING LOOKS TO BE JUST
IN RIGHT FOR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.

STILL SOME TIME TO WORK OUT THE FINE DETAILS OF EACH OF THESE
THREE PLAYERS IN REGARDS TO TIMING...STRENGTH...AND PRECIP TYPE
AND AMOUNTS.

17/KLAWS

&&

.AVIATION...00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUING TO SLIDE FROM WEST TO EAST.  THE
LOCATION OF THE BOUNDARY AT THE TIME OF WRITING WAS ACROSS THE
STATELINE IN CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI.  THE WINDS AT OUR SITES ARE
GENERALLY FROM THE SOUTH AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND RATHER GUSTY AT
TIMES.  AS THE RAIN AND THUNDERSTORM BANDS PASS OVERHEAD EXPECT
HEAVY RAIN...LIGHTNING...AND GUSTY WINDS.  THE STORMS WILL CONTINUE
TO EFFECT EET...BHM...AND ANB OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO.  MGM AND
TOI SHOULD PREPARE FOR THE ARRIVAL IN THE NEXT HOUR.  BY 4Z TO 6Z
MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE COMING TO A CLOSE WITH A SCATTERED DECK
AND WINDS SHIFTING AROUND TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST.
