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.

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.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 2, 6:25 PM CST, 2 hours 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
625 PM CST FRI MAR 2 2012

.UPDATE...

FOR 00Z AVIATION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

AS OF EARLY THIS AFTERNOON CONVECTION HAS BEEN OCCURRING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NORTH ALABAMA...EASTERN MISSISSIPPI AND WESTERN
TENNESSEE. THESE STORMS ARE FORMING WELL AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT
IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THESE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORMING IN A MOIST AND UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LAYER
WITH TEMPERATURES TODAY RISING UP INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S.
THE SOUNDING FROM BMX AT 18Z INDICATED NEARLY 1400 J/KG OF CAPE WITH
NO CAP TO LIMIT CONVECTION FROM FORMING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
WINDS ARE CURRENTLY SOUTHWEST ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS ANY
BACKING OF THE WINDS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS COULD INCREASE THE
LIKELIHOOD FOR TORNADIC SUPERCELLS. NEAR SUNSET THE LOW LEVEL WINDS
FIELDS BECOME MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL AS A SQUALL LINE FORMS ACROSS
CENTRAL ALABAMA.

LATEST MODELS MOVE THE COLD FRONT THROUGH CENTRAL ALABAMA BY 18Z
SATURDAY. A FEW SHOWERS COULD LINGER BEHIND THE FRONT INTO SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN ALABAMA AS
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION AND CLEARING BEHIND THE FRONT WILL PUSH
TEMPERATURES INTO THE 30S ACROSS THE CENTRAL ALABAMA SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY MORNING. AS THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET EJECTS
NORTHEAST...HEIGHT RISES WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.
WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING LATE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THIS PATTERN WILL LEAD TO TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 30 AND LOWER 40S AND HIGHS IN
THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S. MODELS DIFFER ON WHEN THE NEXT SYSTEM
WILL IMPACT THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. WITH THE GFS SHOWING A MORE
PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL WAVE THAT WOULD IMPACT THE REGION ON
WEDNESDAY. WHILE THE ECMWF HAS A MUCH SLOWER SYSTEM AS THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW CLOSES OFF OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND SLOWLY PROGRESSES
EASTWARD BRINGING PRECIPITATION CHANCES ON FRIDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR MODEL TRENDS FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...

00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA IN
ADVANCE OF COLD FRONT MOVING FROM WESTERN MISSISSIPPI EAST INTO THE
AREA TONIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE GUSTY GRADIENT WINDS SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS TSRA WILL PRECEDE THE FRONT WITH SOME OF THEM LOCALLY
SEVERE.  TSRA WILL LIKELY COME THROUGH JUST IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT
IN THE FORM OF A SQUALL LINE.  SEVERE THREAT SHOULD END AS THE FRONT
PASSES BUT LINGERING RAIN WILL CONTINUE BEHIND THE FRONT UNTIL AFTER
12Z.  EXPECT FRONT TO REACH VCNTY OF TCL BY AROUND 03Z AND CONTINUE
EAST TO VCNTY OF TOI BY 08Z.  GENERAL MVFR OR BETTER CONDITIONS
EXPECTED ALONG AND IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...OUTSIDE OF TSRA AREAS
...WITH LINGERING MVFR TO VFR CIGS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE FCST PERIOD.
