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 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 3, 10:24 PM CDT, 2 hours 22 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
1024 PM CDT WED AUG 3 2011

.UPDATE...INCREASED POPS FOR PORTIONS OF THE CWA.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
CONVECTION NORTH OF THE AREA IS BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD THAN
ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. HAVE INCREASED POPS AREA-WIDE TO FOLLOW IN LINE
WITH RECENT CONVECTION TRENDS OVER SRN TN. CHANCE POPS ARE NOW IN
PLACE ALONG AND NORTHEAST OF A LINE FROM MUSCLE SHOALS...TO
DECATUR...TO GUNTERSVILLE...AND INTO SRN PORTIONS OF DEKALB COUNTY.
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EXIST SOUTHWEST OF THIS LINE.

UPDATED ZONES OUT SHORTLY.

TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THIS EVENING ARE HOLDING
STEADY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S AT THIS HOUR...WITH FORT PAYNE COMING
IN THE 'COOLEST' AT 82 DEGREES. AFTER THE HOTTEST DAY SO FAR THIS
YEAR...MUSCLE SHOALS OFFICIALLY REACHED 104 DEGREES...DECATUR
OFFICIALLY REACHED 102...AND HUNTSVILLE INTERNATIONAL REACHED 101
THIS AFTERNOON.

THOUGH THE HEAT ADVISORY CONTINUES DUE TO OVERNIGHT LOWS NOT
DROPPING MUCH BELOW THE MID TO UPPER 70S...SOME RELIEF IS IN SIGHT
FOR PORTIONS OF THE CWA. A WEAK FRONT IS CURRENTLY PUSHING SOUTHWARD
ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE THIS EVENING...SPARKING A FEW CLUSTERS OF
SHOWERS/STORMS JUST NORTH OF THE AL/TN BORDER. THESE WILL CONTINUE
TO DRIFT S/SEWRD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...MAINLY AFFECTING AREAS
IN NORTHEASTERN ALABAMA/SOUTHERN MIDDLE TN. A SECOND AREA OF
CONVECTION IS ONGOING AND MOVING EASTWARD ALONG THE TN/KY STATE LINE.
THIS LOOKS TO AFFECT THE SAME AREAS...BUT WILL MONITOR OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS.

AS A RESULT...POPS WERE INCREASED IN THESE AREAS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.
FOG MAY HAVE TO BE ADDED TO THESE AREAS DEPENDING ON THE COVERAGE OF
THE INCOMING ACTIVITY...BUT WILL LEAVE THIS OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR
NOW. OTHERWISE...THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK AND NO
OTHER UPDATES WERE NECESSARY.

UPDATED ZONES OUT SHORTLY.

&&

.AVIATION.../FROM 00Z TAFS/...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH

/VSBYS ~3SM/. AFTER THE FOG DISSIPATES SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE
TOMORROW... SHOWERS/STORMS WILL DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY OF THE
TERMINALS AS A WEAK FRONT MEANDERS SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA. VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. FOR
NOW...CONFIDENCE ON THE EXACT TIMING/COVERAGE DIRECTLY AFFECTING THE
TERMINALS IS LOW...SO HAVE OPTED TO CARRY VCSH AND A CB GROUP TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS FOR NOW.
