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

What 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 Birmingham, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 10, 6:49 PM CDT, 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 6:49 PM CDT, 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
649 PM CDT FRI APR 10 2009

.UPDATE...FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

NOT MANY CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST PACKAGE. PARTS OF NE CWA UNDER
A HIGH RISK FROM SPC WITH REMAINDER OF AREA UNDER MDT RISK. RAPID
DESTABILIZATION IS TAKING PLACE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF
CENTRAL ALABAMA...AS THE CAP IS QUICKLY ERODING AWAY FURTHER NORTH.
WILL WATCH THE CAP STAY STRONGER FURTHER SOUTH...SAY SOUTH OF
I20...BUT EVENTUALLY COOLING ALOFT COMBINED WITH SURFACE HEATING AND
MOISTENING WILL WIN OUT. THE OTHER QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN ARE PW
VALUES FOR AREAS SOUTH OF 20. FOR NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT VALUES JUST
ABOVE 1 INCH ALONG THE FRONT SUGGESTING THE CELLS WILL BECOME MORE
INDIVIDUALIZED AND ISOLATED AS THE LINE PUSHES FURTHER SOUTH AND
EAST. AREAS NORTH LOOK PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS AGAIN RAPID
DESTABILIZATION IS ALLOWING CAPE VALUES TO SOAR TO JUST BELOW 3000
J/KG AND SRH VALUES ABOVE 300 BOTH IN THE 0 TO 3 KM RANGE AND 0 TO 1
KM RANGE. TORNADOES WILL BE A HIGH THREAT...WITH EVEN STRONG
TORNADOES POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA. HAIL CONTINUES TO BE THE
BIGGEST THREAT AS LAPSE RATES ALOFT CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND CAPE
VALUES IN THE MAXIMUM HAIL GROWTH ZONE HAVE INCREASED TO NEARLY 500
J/KG...WHICH IS ABOUT THE HIGHEST IVE SEEN IN QUITE SOME TIME. IN
ADDITION...VERY STRONG GRADIENT FLOW WILL CONTINUE FOR AREAS AHEAD
OF THE FRONT...POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SOME TREES GOING DOWN.

DUE TO ORIENTATION OF STORMS (NE-SW)...EXPECT SEVERE WEATHER TO
CONTINUE FOR AREAS EAST OF I-65 AND SOUTH OF I-20 UNTIL THE 02-04Z
TIMEFRAME WITH THE LINE MOVING INTO GA AFTER THAT TIME.

CALM AND COOLER ON SATURDAY WITH NEXT SYSTEM AFFECTING REGION AS
EARLY AS 00Z SUNDAY IN WESTERN SECTIONS AND ACROSS REMAINDER OF
STATE AFTER 06Z. TUE AND WED WILL HAVE NEAR NORMAL TEMPS WITH
ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS LATE IN WEEK.

.AVIATION...00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

WILL CONTINUE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS AT MGM AND TOI UNTIL 05Z.

OVER OUR NORTHERN TAF SITES.  I HAVE THESE MVFR CIGS BACK IN THE
