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 Dec 8, 8:55 PM CST, 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 8, 8:55 PM CST, 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
855 PM CST TUE DEC 8 2009

.UPDATE...EVENING FORECAST.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENT FORECAST STILL LOOKS ON TRACK. MADE SOME CHANGES TO BOTH
THE HOURLY AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURES. MOST IF NOT ALL LOCATIONS
HAVE ALREADY REACHED THE FORECAST LOW. BASICALLY...THE TREND FOR
THE REST OF THE NIGHT IS FOR TEMPERATURES TO ACTUALLY BE
INCREASING.

THE THREAT OF TORNADIC ACTIVITY HAS NOT CHANGED. STILL EXPECTING
FOR MOST OF THE ACTIVITY TO REMAIN WEST OF INTERSTATE 65 WITH THE
THREAT EXTENDING OUT AT LEAST THROUGH 2 AM. PLEASE REMAIN VIGILANT
BY EITHER LISTENING TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA
(RADIO OR TELEVISION) FOR FREQUENT UPDATES.

10/ARM

&&

.AVIATION...00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

QUITE A MESSY FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 12 TO 18 HOURS. LOW CLOUDS AND
VISIBILITIES ALONG WITH THUNDERSTORMS WILL CAUSE CONDITIONS TO
RANGE BETWEEN MVFR...IFR AND POSSIBLY LIFR ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THE
NIGHT. BASED THE TIMING ON WHEN THE MAIN LINE OF STORMS WILL MOVE
THROUGH ALL SITES ON THE CURRENT RADAR TREND. WILL ADJUST THOSE AS
NEEDED.

MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TOMORROW...EVEN THOUGH MODELS
WANT TO CLEAR CLOUDS OUT COMPLETELY. MODELS DO TEND CLEAR CLOUDS TOO
FAST IN THESE KIND OF SITUATIONS AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ONE OF
THOSE CASES.
