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 27, 12:20 PM CDT, 2 hours 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 27, 12:20 PM CDT, 2 hours 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
1220 PM CDT WED APR 27 2011

.UPDATE...FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.
&&

.AVIATION...
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE. WITHIN
THUNDERSTORMS...SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND LIFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE.
OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED GIVEN THE TIGHT
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SURFACE LOW.
WINDS WILL SUBSIDE SOME THIS EVENING...WITH MVFR CIGS EXPECTED
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BY THURSDAY
MORNING.
&&

.HYDROLOGY...SIGNIFICANT RIVER FLOOD EVENT POTENTIALLY UNFOLDING
ACROSS THE TN VALLEY TODAY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES HAS
ALREADY FALLEN OVER THE LAST 36 HOURS ACROSS THE NW ALABAMA AND SRN
TN INCLUDING THE IRON CITY AND BIG NANCE BASINS. AMOUNTS SO FAR HAVE
BEEN LESS EAST OF I-65 WITH 1 TO LOCALLY 2 INCHES.

WITH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF ROBUST CONVECTION EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE LATE
EVENING FROPA...RAINFALL TOTALS OF 4 TO 5 INCHES SEEM LIKELY IN THE
IMPACTED BASINS. LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT MODERATE FLOODING IS
EXPECTED ALONG THE PAINT ROCK AND ELK RIVERS WITH MAJOR FLOODING
ALONG THE BIG NANCE NEAR COURTLAND. IN FACT...THE RIVER STAGE AT
COURTLAND IS FORECAST TO RISE TO 23 FEET BY THURSDAY MORNING. THIS
WOULD BE THE HIGHEST CREST THERE SINCE 1990 AND WOULD CAUSE
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS IN AND NEAR COURTLAND.

RESIDENTS IN LAUDERDALE COUNTY SHOULD ALSO MONITOR THE PROGRESSION OF
SHOAL CREEK...WITH THE RIVER STAGE FORECAST TO RISE WELL ABOVE FLOOD
STAGE UPSTREAM AT IRON CITY.

&&

.DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 911 AM CDT WED APR 27 2011/

BUSY DAY ALREADY ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WITH SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE
REPORTED EARLIER IN SEVERAL COUNTIES FROM OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING
QLCS AND HP SUPERCELLS. NEXT ROUNDS OF SCT CONVECTION WITH ELEVATED
HAIL CORES ALREADY TRACKING INTO NW AL. STORMS ACROSS NRN MS HAVE
SHOWN ROTATION...AND STORMS ACROSS NRN AL HAVE STARTED TO EXHIBIT HP
CHARACTERISTICS AS WELL.

LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A COMPLEX LOW STRUCTURE FROM CENTRAL
INDIANA SOUTH TO THE ARKLATEX. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT STRETCHES
SOUTH THROUGH EAST TEXAS. CLOSER TO THE HOME...THE EARLY MORNING
CONVECTION HAS LEFT A SMALL OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS OUR ERN COUNTIES.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND PROFILER DATA SHOWS AN 80KT MID LEVEL JET
STREAK PUNCHING OUT OF THE ARKLATEX THIS MORNING. CONVECTION HAS
BEGUN TO FIRE ALONG THE APEX OF THIS JET STREAK. THIS WILL BE THE
AREA TO MONITOR THROUGH THE AFTN HOURS AS THE JET STREAK AND THE
ASSOCIATE U/L JET MAX PROGRESSES EAST. THE 12Z NAM SHOWS LARGE SCALE
ASCENT IN THE EXIT REGION OF THE H25 JET DURING THE AFTN. THIS WILL
BE COINCIDENT WITH MLCAPES ~2-2.5 KJ/KG AND LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES
IN EXCESS OF 600 M2/S2. THE ONLY MITIGATING FACTOR MAY BE RAIN COOLED
LOW LEVEL AIR DUE TO ONGOING CONVECTION...BUT THIS IS UNCERTAIN ATTM.

AM NOT PLANNING MAJOR CHGS TO FCST FOR NOW OTHER THAN TO TWEAK FOR
CURRENT CONDITIONS AND SHORT TERM TRENDS. TEMPS WILL BE HIGHLY
DEPENDENT ON BREAKS BETWEEN CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS...BUT NOT GOING TO
SWEAT THAT RIGHT NOW.

CLUSTERS OF SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM AHEAD OF...AND ALONG
A STRONG COLD FRONT AND MOVE RAPIDLY ACROSS THE REGION. A POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG...LONG TRACK TORNADOES EXISTS...IN ADDITION TO DAMAGING
WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. RESIDENTS ACROSS THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY ARE URGED TO REMAIN ALERT FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND
POSSIBLE WARNINGS.

THE HEAVY RAINFALL FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE
THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING...WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY EVOLVE
INTO A SMALL STREAM AND RIVER FLOODING EVENT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
PLEASE REFER TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AND THE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS THREAT...AND CONTINUE TO MONITOR
RIVER FLOOD WARNINGS AS THEY ARE ISSUED FOR SEVERAL RIVERS AND
STREAMS ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.

ALSO...GUSTY WINDS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA...THEREFORE A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN
EFFECT THROUGH 8 PM WEDNESDAY EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS WEEKEND...AS
ANOTHER COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA.
