Expired: May 7, 2009, 2:00 PM CDT
In force: 48 min
Issued by: NWS Birmingham, AL

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Peachtre/Fal Fld, GA (KFFC), launched 12:00Z, 6.2 hours before the alert went out and 177 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
1254 PM CDT THU MAY 7 2009

.UPDATE...AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

USING BMX SOUNDING AND APPLYING A TEMP OF 74 AND DEWPOINT OF 68
GIVES NORTH CENTRAL AL A CAPE OF 2000 J/KG AND LI OF -6.
HOWEVER...WIND PROFILE IS MUCH WEAKER THAN YESTERDAY AND FORECAST TO
WEAKEN FURTHER DURING AFTERNOON.  IN ADDITION...MODELS INDICATE
COLUMN DRYING DURING THE DAY WITH PW VALUES GOING FROM 1.5 AT 12Z
TO ARND 1 00Z FOR AREAS NEAR AND NORTH OF I-20.  UNFORTUNATELY,
FARTHER SOUTH ALL PARAMETERS LOOK SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF THE WIND PROFILE...WHICH IS ALSO WEAKER.  ALL THIS TO
SAY AREAS SOUTH OF I-20 WILL BE UNDER THE GUN THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
HEAVY RAIN ON SLOWER MOVING STORMS...HAIL AND STRAIGHT LINE WINDS.
HOWEVER...A COUPLE OF TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR AND JUST NORTH
OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY NEAR THE I-20 CORRIDOR...LIKELY ON THE BRIEF
AND WEAK SIDE.

STEFKOVICH

.AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

QUITE A MESSY SET OF TAF EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SHOWERS
AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE MGM AND TOI AREA LOWERING
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES AS A RESULT. ELSEWHERE...CEILINGS HAVE
LIFTED FROM IFR TO MVFR LEVELS AND COULD IMPROVE TO VFR LATE THIS
EVENING. WE ARE STILL EXPECTING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS TO
DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON. DONT HAVE A GOOD FEEL FOR SPECIFIC
LOCATIONS...SO JUST WENT TO VC WORDING FOR THE MOMENT.

DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF HEAVY RAIN THAT HAS FALLEN OVER MUCH OF THE TAF
AREA RECENTLY...EXPECT LOW CLOUDS AND VISIBILITIES TO DEVELOP ONCE
AGAIN TONIGHT...MAINLY AFTER 06Z. IN SOME AREAS...FLIGHT
RESTRICTIONS COULD DROP AS LOW AS LIFR. CONDITIONS WILL BE SLOW TO
IMPROVE DURING THE MORNING HOURS.
