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 Feb 24, 11:25 PM CST, 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 11:25 PM CST, 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
1125 PM CST THU FEB 24 2011

.UPDATE...FOR 06Z TAFS
&&

.AVIATION...STRONG CONVECTIVE LINE OF TSRA CONTINUES TO TRACK EWD
ACROSS N CNTRL AL...WITH SFC WINDS GUSTING NEAR 40KT AT TIMES WITH
THE STRONGER CELLS. LIFR CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN COMMON WITHIN THIS
LINE OF STORMS...ALONG WITH FREQUENT CC/CG LIGHTNING. BEHIND THE
CONVECTIVE LINE...LINGERING SHRA ARE RESULTING IN BRIEF/TEMPO VIS
RESTRICTIONS WITH MVFR CEILINGS AT TIMES. ONCE THE CONVECTIVE LINE
CLEARS NRN AL TO THE E...MVFR CONDITIONS ARE XPCTED TO BECOME
ENTRENCHED...WITH CEILING HEIGHTS AOA 1500 FT.
&&

.DISCUSSION...AS IS SO OFTEN THE CASE...THE LINE HAS SPED UP IN THE
LAST COUPLE HOURS AND IS NOW POISED TO IMPACT THE EXTREME
NORTHWESTERN EDGE OF THE CWFA BETWEEN 9 AND 10PM. FROM THERE...IT
WILL RAPIDLY SPREAD EASTWARD...EXITING DEKALB COUNTY BETWEEN 2 AND 3
AM. THE MAIN THREAT TONIGHT IS STILL EXPECTED TO BE DAMAGING WINDS
/ESPECIALLY WITHIN BOWING SEGMENTS/...ALTHOUGH ISOLATED INSTANCES OF
HAIL OR TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.

THE 00Z BMX/JAN SOUNDINGS SHOW A PRETTY SOLID CAP AT AROUND
700MB...WHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE LACK OF
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE. WHILE BUFR
SOUNDINGS DO SHOW THIS CAP EVENTUALLY WEAKENING IN TIME FOR THE MAIN
LINE...THIS DOES SUGGEST THAT THE OVERALL SEVERE WINDOW SHOULD BE
RELATIVELY SHORT LIVED. HOWEVER...SRH OFF BOTH SOUNDINGS /AND OHX AS
WELL/ IS SUFFICIENTLY AMPLE FOR LOW LEVEL ROTATION WITHIN ANY
STORM...AND ANY STORM ALONG THE LINE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MIX DOWN MOST
OF THE 50-60KT JET.

HAVE UPDATED THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK TO REFLECT THE FASTER
TIMING...AND THE WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT. IN ADDITION...MADE
SOME TWEAKS TO THE GRIDS TO REFLECT THE TEMPORAL RESOLUTION OF THE
SQUALL LINE. UPDATED ZONES WILL BE FORTHCOMING VERY SHORTLY.
