Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
248 PM CDT FRI APR 15 2011

.DISCUSSION...

SHORT DISCUSSION TODAY. WE WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED ALL COUNTIES IN
OUR WARNING AREA INTO TORNADO WATCH 141. ALTHOUGH THE BEST
CONDITIONS WILL BE ALONG THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE
AREA...ENOUGH INSTABILITY IS CREEPING NORTHWARD WHICH WARRANTED

POSSIBILITY THAT THE WATCH WILL BE EXTENDED PAST 9 PM CDT
TONIGHT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AND WE WILL MODIFY THE FORECAST ACCORDINGLY.

CONCERN IS SEVERE THREAT WITH TORNADIC SUPERCELLS POSSIBLE.  THREAT
IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS UPPER LEVEL LOW AND SURFACE TROUGH
APPROACH AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA EARLY
