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 28, 3:14 AM CST, 2 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 28, 3:14 AM CST, 2 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 314 AM CST SAT FEB 28 2009 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY. CURRENT BOUNDARY CURRENTLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR. THIS BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY EDGE NORTH...ALLOWING MUCH MORE OF THE CWA TO GET INTO THE WARM SECTOR OUT OF THE COLD FRONT. ISOLATED ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE WARM SECTOR. WHAT DOES DEVELOP WILL LIKELY BE SURFACE BASED AND HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF ROTATING AND PRODUCING ANY TYPE OF SEVERE WEATHER. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM CENTREVILLE TO ALEXANDER CITY. STORMS TO THE NORTH OF THIS LINE WILL LIKELY CONTAIN LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. BEGINNING TO SEE A SURFACE WAVE DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. FLASH FLOODING CONTINUES TO BE A CONCERN ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN THIRD OF THE AREA...AS NUMEROUS FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THIS WAVE WILL EVENTUALLY DEVELOP INTO A SURFACE LOW AND SWING RIGHT UP THE I-20/59 CORRIDOR. THIS WILL SPELL THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR THE WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA AS THE COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO PUSH THROUGH LATE MORNING ACROSS THE NORTH AND MID AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SOUTH. ONCE THIS STORM SYSTEM PUSHES OUT...THE NEXT THREAT WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA. THIS LOW WILL PROVIDE THE DYNAMIC COOLING THAT WILL BE NEEDED FOR SNOWFALL ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. BIG QUESTION ON THIS SYSTEM NOW WILL BE THE EXACT TRACK OF THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND WHERE THE HEAVIEST BAND OF SNOW WILL SET UP. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH THE BAND OF HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE I-20/59 CORRIDOR FROM MIDNIGHT TO 6 AM SATURDAY NIGHT...SUNDAY MORNING. AT THIS TIME WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT IN THE HWO AS ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO LESS THAN 2 INCHES WITH THIS SNOW EVENT. MOST OF THE SNOW WILL BE DONE BY NOON TO 3 PM ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES. .LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. BEHIND THIS DYNAMIC SYSTEM THIS WEEKEND...CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE QUITE A BIT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN AT THE SURFACE ON MONDAY...WHILE THE UPPER LEVELS REMAIN IN A TROUGH. THIS WILL KEEP THE AREA BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MONDAY. BY TUESDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD AND SLIDE INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA BY WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO WARM BACK TO SEASONABLE CONDITIONS BY THE END OF THE WEEK. NEXT CHANCE AT RAIN WILL BE ON SATURDAY. && .AVIATION...06Z TAF DISCUSSION. EXPECT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT ALL TAF SITES TONIGHT AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER. HANDLED THE TIMING WITH A TEMPO GROUP AS THE HEAVIEST THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR WITHIN THE NEXT 4 TO 5 HOURS. RAIN WILL ACTUALLY LIFT NORTHWARD...WITH ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS FOR TOI AND MGM. THE LINE OF STRONGER STORMS AND RAIN WILL REMAIN GENERALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN TAFS. CEILINGS WILL LOWER THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND WILL BE AROUND 500 TO 700 FEET BY 9Z AND STAY UNTIL THE FRONT PASSES. LOOK FOR THE RAIN TO END SOON AFTER 18Z FOR THE NORTH AND 21 TO 23Z FOR THE SOUTH. CEILINGS WILL STAY AROUND 1500 FEET THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. VISIBILITIES WILL GENERALLY DECREASE WITH ANY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT ACTUALLY MOVE THROUGH A TAF SITE. WINDS WILL STAY UP FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT. EXPECT A WIND SHIFT TO OCCUR DURING THE DAY TOMORROW AS A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINS TO APPROACH THE AREA. WINDS WILL ALSO BEGIN TO PICK UP AND BECOME GUSTY. NO SNOW YET IN THE FORECAST. IT IS STILL MORE THAN 24 HOURS AWAY. WILL PROBABLY BEGIN TO INCLUDE IN THE 12Z FORECAST. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY...LASTING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM THREATS WILL BE LARGE HAIL... DAMAGING WINDS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE THREAT WILL BE CONFINED TO AREAS NEAR AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20... ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST BY 2PM. 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. THE RELATIVELY SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT AREAS WILL BE IMPACTED BY MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS WILL RESULT LOCALIZED FLOODING AREAWIDE...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NEAR THE COLD FRONT. MANY AREAS RECEIVED 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL YESTERDAY...AND ANY ADDITIONAL RAIN AMOUNTS WILL PRODUCE FLOODING CONCERNS. THIS THREAT SHOULD ALSO SUBSIDE BY EARLY AFTERNOON. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. A STRONG UPPER LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA LATE TONIGHT 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. SNOW AMOUNTS WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM ONE HALF OF AN INCH TO ONE AND ONE HALF INCH. ACCUMULATIONS WILL LIKELY OCCUR ON GRASSY SURFACES...BUT SOME ROADWAYS MAY BECOME SLICK ESPECIALLY WEST. ANY ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE GONE BY AFTERNOON AS HIGHS WILL REACH THE 40S. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WILL BE NECESSARY THROUGH SATURDAY AT 2 PM. 75/LINHARES
