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 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 Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Apr 10, 4:20 PM CDT, 20 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 4:20 PM CDT, 20 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
420 PM CDT FRI APR 10 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER BUSY DAY ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...AS AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS
AND STRONG COLD FRONT HELPED TO CREATED CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR
NUMEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. HAIL UP TO SOFTBALL IN SIZE WAS NOTED
ALONG WITH SOME TORNADO TOUCHDOWN. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDED
SOUTH OF LOW PRESSURE WEST OF LOUISVILLE ALONG THE OHIO RIVER...TO
EAST OF NASHVILLE...TO EAST OF HUNTSVILLE AND NW OF CULLMAN. WINDS
NOT DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH CONVECTION EAST OF THE FRONT PRODUCED
WINDS IN THE 20-30 MPH RANGE WITH HIGHER GUSTS...PROMPTING THE
ISSUANCE OF A WIND ADVISORY.

THE WIND ADVISORY IS SET TO EXPIRE AT 7 PM. GIVEN STRONG WINDS IN THE
25-35 MPH RANGE AT THE MUSCLE SHOALS AIRPORT...WILL BE PRUDENT TO LET
THE WARNING REMAIN IN EFFECT INTO THE EARLY EVENING. WILL LET THE
EVENING SHIFT EVALUATE ON IF THEY WISH TO LET THE WARNING EXPIRE ON
SCHEDULE...OR EXTEND IT A BIT FURTHER. OTHERWISE...WITH THE PASSAGE
OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...THE THREAT FOR MORE SHOWERS AND T-STORMS
HAS ENDED. WRAP AROUND LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE WEST OF THIS SYSTEM WILL
KEEP MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES IN PLACE INTO SATURDAY MORNING. CLOUDS
SHOULD DIMINISH DURING SATURDAY MORNING WITH AN OTHERWISE NICE DAY
EXPECTED. HIGH TEMPS UNDER SOME COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL ONLY WARM
INTO THE LOWER/MID 60S.

ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL BRING AN INCREASE OF CLOUDS TO THE REGION DURING
EASTER SUNDAY. HAVE DECIDED TO HOLD ON TO A SLIM CHANCE FOR LATE
AFTERNOON CONVECTION ACROSS FAR NW ALABAMA...DRY WEATHER IS OTHERWISE
EXPECTED. A GOOD MOISTURE RETURN AND DECENT DYNAMICS WILL BRING WITH
IT A LIKELY CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY. SOME OF THESE STORMS PER A QUICK LOOK AT SOUNDINGS COULD BE
STRONG. SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD END MONDAY NIGHT...WITH A RETURN OF
DRY CONDITIONS AND NEAR SEASONABLE WEATHER FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
HAVE NOT MADE ANY BIG CHANGES FURTHER OUT. HAVE KEPT A CHANCE OF
CONVECTION IN THE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

SEE OUR LOCAL STORM REPORTS AT HUNLSRHUN OR NWUS54 KHUN FOR MORE
INFORMATION.

&&

.AVIATION...
NO CHANGES FROM 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

SOUTHERLY WINDS HAVE FINALLY PICKED UP AND ARE SUSTAINED AROUND
20KT WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 30KT...AND EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE AT
BOTH TAF SITES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. A BROKEN LINE OF
TSRA CONTINUES TO DEVELOP OVER NE MS AND IS ABOUT TO CROSS INTO
ALABAMA OVER THE NEXT HALF HOUR. TIMING OF LINE ONSET...BASED ON
RADAR TRENDS...WOULD BE AROUND 1730Z AT KMSL AND AROUND 19Z AT KHSV.
A 1 TWO 2 HOUR WINDOW OF LOWER CEILINGS BELOW 2000 FT...+TSRA...AND
VISIBILITIES BELOW 3 MILES CAN BE EXPECTED AS THIS LINE PUSHES
THROUGH. FRONT SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE AREA AROUND 01Z AT KMSL AND
02Z AT KHSV...BRINGING PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS TO THE AREA AND
WINDS AROUND 10KT SWITCHING TO THE NORTHWEST.
