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 Oct 26, 3:17 PM CDT, 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 26, 3:17 PM CDT, 51 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
317 PM CDT TUE OCT 26 2010

.DISCUSSION...

TAKING A LOOK AT THE OVERALL SCHEME OF THE STORM SYSTEM. UPPER LOW
CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS IN TURN
IN HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT INCREASE INSTABILITY ACROSS THE NORTH.
AS OF 230 PM...HERE ARE SOME MORE SPECIFIC NUMBERS IN THIS
AREA...GENERALLY NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR. THE STORM RELATIVE
HELICITY FROM 0-1KM IS BETWEEN 250 AND 300. THE STORM RELATIVE
HELICITY FOR THE 0-3KM IS BETWEEN 300 AND 350. BULK SHEAR NUMBERS
FOR THE 0-1KM ARE BETWEEN 30-35. LAPSE RATES ARE ALSO AROUND 7 TO
7.5 BETWEEN THE 0-3KM RANGE. STORMS ARE ROTATING AND WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. LOOK FOR THE OVERALL DYNAMICS TO BEGIN
TO WEAKEN AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES...ALTHOUGH SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE NIGHT. A NEW TORNADO
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED AS WELL. FOR SPECIFICS ON THE THREAT OF THE
MOMENT CONTINUE TO CHECK OUT THE HOMEPAGE AS WELL AS THE HWO.

THE SYSTEM WILL CLEAR OUT BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE MAIN COLD
FRONT CLEARS THE AREA. THE COLD EST AIR WILL COME IN DURING THE
DAY THURSDAY WITH COLD MORNINGS IN STORE FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNINGS. AT THIS POINT IT APPEARS THAT THE COLDEST MORNING WILL
BE SATURDAY MORNING. MAY EVEN SEE A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD FREEZE/FROST
AREAWIDE.

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

THE MORNING STRATUS HAS LIFTED INTO A VFR SUPPORTIVE STRATO-CUMULUS
DECK ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND I THINK THE PREDOMINANT CLOUD
CONDITION WILL REMAIN LIKE THIS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.  TIMING OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO INDIVIDUAL TAF SITES IS A BIT MORE
PROBLEMATIC THAN TYPICAL FOR THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM...DUE TO
UNCERTAINTIES INVOLVED WITH THE SPEED OF THE ONGOING ADVANCING
CONVECTION. I AM MORE CERTAIN THAT TCL...BHM...AND EET WILL SEE SOME
SIGNIFICANT STORMINESS BEFORE 27/0000Z...BUT LESS CERTAIN ABOUT
ANB.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT TOOK 18-24 HOURS BEFORE THE RAIN
ACTUALLY GETS TO MGM AND TOI.

/61/

NOTICE...KEET TAF WILL HAVE (AMD LTD TO VIS WIND AND WX) AMENDED TO
THE END OF THE FORECAST THROUGH THE END OF 2010. THE CEILOMETER DATA
WILL BE GOING THROUGH NUMEROUS TESTS AND MONITORED FOR ACCURACY.
