What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Apr 10, 12:59 PM CDT	HAIL 0.88	Red Bay, AL	NICKEL SIZE HAIL WAS REPORTED IN DOWNTOWN RED BAY.
Apr 10, 1:20 PM CDT	HAIL 0.88	3 Ssw Russellville, AL	NICKEL SIZED HAIL WAS REPORTED ALONG US 43 SOUTH OF RUSSELLVILLE.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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 watch it was issued in

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF DISCRETE CELLS MERGING INTO BKN LINE
SEGMENTS INTO THE EARLY AFTN. DEWPTS ARE CLIMBING INTO THE LOW 60S
IN MOST AREAS...AND ROBUST WAA IS ALLOWING TEMPS TO CLIMB RAPIDLY
THIS MORNING. EXPECTING MO CLOUDY CONDITIONS IN GENERAL...BUT
WARM/MOIST ADVECTION SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO CLIMB INTO THE LOW/MID
70S. RESULTING CAPES/LIS...DEEP LYR SHEAR...AND LOW WET-BULB
FREEZING LEVELS ARE STILL SUPPORTIVE OF LARGE HAIL. STORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE AHEAD OF THE FRONT...PUSHED BY STRONG MID-LVL
