The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
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.

$$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 Feb 27, 3:09 PM CST, 39 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 27, 3:09 PM CST, 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 309 PM CST FRI FEB 27 2009 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. STATIONARY FRONT REMAINS PARKED FROM SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE THROUGH NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI. AN EXTENDED LINE OF HEAVY RAINFALL HAS SET UP NEAR THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR...WITH THE STRONGER CONVECTION PUSHING INTO WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA. MANY LOCATIONS HAVE RECEIVED A COUPLE INCHES OF RAIN THUS FAR WITH ADDITIONAL INCHES EXPECTED THROUGH THE EVENING. AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH INTERSTATE 20 HAVE THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING. THIS INCLUDES THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. TOWARD SUNSET..THE FRONT WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY BUT A LOW PRESSURE SURFACE WAVE WILL SHIFT FROM WEST MISSISSIPPI AND INTO WEST ALABAMA. THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE AND GREAT MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL BE POSITIONED FROM NEAR INTERSTATE 20 NORTHWARD. THE THREAT OF FLOODING RAIN WILL INCREASE IN THESE AREAS ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE RAIN THAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN. EVENTUALLY...A KICKER LOW WILL BEGIN TO PUSH EVERYTHING TO THE SOUTHEAST WITH THE HEAVIER RAINFALL TOTALS REACHING MGM AND TOI EARLY MORNING. OVERALL...A PROLONGED TIME FRAME WHERE HAZARDOUS WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED. REMAIN ALERT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND TAKE ACTION IF WARNINGS ARE ISSUED. .LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS PERIODS WEATHER IS DOMINATED BY THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE MODELS ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT TODAY ON THE TRACK OF THIS FEATURE PASSING OVER THE AREA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. ADDITIONALLY...THEY ALL AGREE ON FAIRLY DEEP MOISTURE AND ENOUGH QPF TO WARRANT A THREAT OF MEASURABLE SNOW ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. MAIN QUESTION IS THE QPF. IM PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT IT IS GOING TO SNOW BUT GROUND TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARM AND THE INITIAL SNOWFALL SHOULD MELT. HOWEVER...THIS EVENT COULD LAST UP TO 6 HOURS FOR SOME LOCATIONS AND EVENTUALLY ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR...PRIMARILY ACROSS THE NORTHERN COUNTIES. DUE TO THE WIDE RANGING QPF FORECASTS BY GUIDANCE...WILL KEEP SNOW TOTALS AROUND 1 INCH BUT THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR A HIGHER TOTAL AND A WATCH OR WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW MAY BE NEEDED SATURDAY MORNING. NEEDLESS TO SAY SUNDAY WILL BE COLD AND BREEZY. BEYOND SUNDAY...LOOK FOR FOR A MODEST WARM UP ON MONDAY WITH ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. NO PRECIPITATION EXPECTED NEXT WEEK AT THIS TIME. && .AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION. KEPT THE TAFS SHORT AND SIMPLE AS THE BASIC SCENARIO WILL HAVE A SERIES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ALONG A BOUNDARY NEAR THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY AND TONIGHT. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON EXACTLY WHERE THE BOUNDARY WILL STALL WHICH COULD ALLOW FOR SOME AMENDMENTS IN THE SHORT TERM. BASICALLY BE AWARE OF MANY THUNDERSTORMS NEAR TCL, BHM, EET AND ANB. FOR MGM AND TOI...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A THREAT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. A FEW LOCATIONS HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A FEW INCHES OF RAIN...WITH RAIN TOTALS BY SATURDAY MORNING OF 2 TO 4 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED THIS AFTERNOON.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY... LASTING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM THREATS WILL BE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT AREAS NEAR AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 85 AND HIGHWAY 80 WILL HAVE THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR THE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. AN INCREASED THREAT NORTHWARD WILL BE SOLELY DEPENDANT ON THE POSITION OF THE COLD FRONT. ON SATURDAY...THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT AREAS WILL BE IMPACTED BY MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS WILL RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NEAR THE COLD FRONT. BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE BOTH AHEAD AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THESE CONDITIONS MAY MATERIALIZE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. A FEW WIND GUSTS OF 25 MPH ARE POSSIBLE. A STRONG UPPER LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. SOME MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE AS THE COLD AIR FILTERS IN. THEREFORE...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF MEASURABLE SNOW THROUGH NOON ON SUNDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WILL BE NECESSARY THROUGH SATURDAY AT NOON. 75/LINHARES
