The Northeast Alabama radar (KHTX), 34 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 10:56 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 10.9 hours before the alert went out and 159 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 31, 4:48 AM CDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
448 AM CDT TUE JUL 31 2012

.DISCUSSION...
BUSY MORNING HAS SUBSIDED...PERHAPS BRIEFLY...AS THE 2ND ROUND OF
STORMS PUSHES INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA. THE 1ST MCS IS NOW NEAR
MONTGOMERY AL...HAVING DISPLAYED IMPRESSIVE RADAR AND SATELLITE
SIGNATURES DURING ITS APEX OVER THE BIRMINGHAM METRO AREA. ROUND
NUMBER 3 MAY BE TAKING SHAPE NEAR THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU...AS STORM
CLUSTERS WHICH WERE ADVECTING SEWD NOW ARE BUILDING MORE TO THE SW.
ALL OF THESE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH WEAK SHORTWAVES OR REMNANT MCVS FROM
GREAT PLAINS MCS ACTIVITY YESTERDAY MORNING.

THAT LEADS US INTO THE FCST QUESTIONS FOR TODAY...WHICH FOCUS MAINLY
ON WHETHER THE UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE/MCV TRACK KEEPS US IN A FAVORABLE
POSITION FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT. WATER VAPOR INDICATES THAT IT IS
STILL OVER WRN KY/SERN MO WHILE RADAR REMAINS ACTIVE /THOUGH NOT
NEARLY AS ACTIVE AS EARLIER THIS MORNING/ OVER WRN/MID TN. BASED ON
THIS TIMING...SUSPECT THE MORNING MAY END UP HAVING BETTER
ORGANIZATION/FORCING AMIDST ROBUST LOW-MID LVL FLOW...WHILE THE AFTN
IS MORE UNSTABLE. THAT MIGHT LEND ITSELF TO LESS INTENSE ACTIVITY
THIS MORNING OVER THE WRN HALF OF THE AREA WHERE BOTH ROUNDS OF
STORMS HAVE OCCURRED...COMPARED TO THE EAST WHERE COMPARABLY LITTLE
HAS OCCURRED. GIVEN ALL OF THESE FACTORS...STUCK CLOSE TO THE
PREVIOUS POP FCST IN A BROAD ALL-DAY 40 POP...AND TRENDED CLOSE TO
THE COOLER GFS MOS FOR TEMPS /THOUGH IF POST-SHORTWAVE DRYING DOES
OCCUR THIS MAY BE TOO LOW/.

SUBTLE SHORTWAVE RIDGING IS EXPECTED TO BUILD BY EARLY WEDNESDAY...
PROVIDING A MODEST BREAK IN THE ACTION BUT MUCH WARMER CONDITIONS.
HAVE KEPT VERY LOW POPS IN THE FCST ANTICIPATING RELATIVELY WEAK
SUBSIDENCE/DRYING...AND BELIEVE THE NAM MOS IS OVERLY AGGRESSIVE WITH
HEAT CONSIDERING WE HAVE NOT HIT 100 SINCE DROUGHT CONDITIONS EASED
EARLIER IN JULY.

BY THE TIME WEDNESDAY NIGHT ROLLS AROUND...IT IS RIGHT BACK ABOARD
THE NW FLOW TRAIN...WITH CONSENSUS FOCUSING ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
HAVING AT LEAST SLIGHTLY HIGHER DIURNAL POPS. AFTER A BRIEF RESPITE
SATURDAY...A DEEP TROUGH WILL SWING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY...
DRIVING ANOTHER WEAK FRONT INTO THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK AND HELPING
KEEP THE REGION IN UNSTABLE NW FLOW. GFS MOS IS REASONABLE FOR POPS
AND TEMPS IN THIS UNSETTLED PATTERN...IF NOT A LITTLE HIGH ON HIGH
TEMPS IF CONVECTION IS WIDESPREAD ENOUGH.

BCC

&&

.AVIATION...UPDATED FROM 06Z...
AFTER AN ACTIVE MORNING WEST OF KMSL...RADAR SUGGESTS THAT BANDS OF
SHRA/TSRA MAY AFFECT KHSV THRU 12-13Z. MAY NEED TO CONSIDER A
TARGETED TEMPO GROUP THERE VERY SOON. KMSL WILL CONTINUE TO SEE OFF
AND ON -SHRA BUT THEIR CONDITIONS HAVE LIKELY STABILIZED...AND MAIN
TSRA THREAT HAS SUBSIDED. SCTD SHRA/TSRA WILL REMAIN A PROBLEM THIS
MORNING IN ADVANCE OF A DISTURBANCE PUSHING ACROSS THE AREA...BUT
THREATS MAY SUBSIDE BEHIND THE DISTURBANCE THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT VFR
CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF THE SHRA/TSRA.
