The radar
The Northeast Alabama radar (KHTX), 107 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:00 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
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
Birmingham, AL (KBMX), launched 12:00Z, 12.0 hours before the alert went out and 155 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
223 PM CDT THU MAR 15 2012
.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE HAS MAINTAINED THE SUMMER-LIKE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS MUCH
OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS TODAY...WITH HIGHS IN THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY PUSHING INTO THE LOWER 80S ALREADY THIS AFTERNOON. THESE
TEMPERATURES ARE APPROACHING 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR MARCH
15TH...AND HAVE ALREADY TIED THE RECORD HIGH AT KMSL (85 DEG AT 2PM
WITH A RECORD OF 85 DEG IN 1908) AND BROKEN THE RECORD AT KHSV (83
DEG AT 2PM WITH A RECORD OF 82 DEG IN 1946) COMBINED WITH DEWPOINTS
IN THE 60S SURGING NORTHWARD ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND
TOWARD OHIO...DIURNALLY DRIVEN THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN RAPIDLY
INCREASING IN COVERAGE ACROSS THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF MS/AL/GA AND
NORTHWARD ACROSS TN AND KY (WITH GA/CAROLINA STORMS LIKELY DRIVEN
SOMEWHAT BY TOPOGRAPHY AS WELL). A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE HAS HELPED
WITH THE FORCING FOR THESE STORMS AND REMAINS SLIGHTLY WEAKER HEADING
INTO THE DEEP SOUTH...HENCE THE TAPERING OFF OF STORMS ACROSS OUR CWA
AND SOUTHWARD. THE OTHER LIMITING FACTOR INHIBITING STORM GROWTH IN
OUR AREA HAS BEEN THE POCKET OF MID LEVEL DRY AIR...WHICH SHOULD
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. COMBINED
WITH THE CONTINUED HEATING...EXPECT THE TC IN OUR AREA TO START
PRODUCING TSRA IN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. HAIL WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE
MAIN CONCERN WITH AFTERNOON TSRA...WITH SOME GUSTY OUTFLOW AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ALSO POSSIBLE DUE TO THE SLOW STORM MOVEMENT.
HEADING INTO FRIDAY...THE RIDGE WILL SLIDE EVER SO SLIGHTLY TO THE
EAST. THIS SHOULD PUT THE TN VALLEY IN THE FLOW THAT AREAS TO OUR NW
HAD TODAY...ALLOWING LINGERING OVERNIGHT STORMS THAT BECOME MORE
ELEVATED IN NATURE. DIURNALLY DRIVEN STORMS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN
TOMORROW AFTERNOON ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEAK SHORTWAVE THAT WILL ALSO
SLIDE SLOWLY EASTWARD. HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE THAT A GOOD PORTION OF
THE NE CWA WILL SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON SO
HAVE BUMPED UP POP CHANCES INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY FOR POINTS
GENERALLY NE OF HSV. WITH SLIGHTLY GREATER COVERAGE OF CLOUDS AND
STORMS...WILL KEEP TEMPS SIMILAR TO THOSE SEEN TODAY.
THE WEAKER RIDGE CURRENTLY OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WILL PUSH
EASTWARD THROUGH THIS WEEKEND AND REINFORCE THE EAST COAST SURFACE
RIDGE. THE 'RING OF FIRE' SHOULD ALSO PUSH EASTWARD AND ALLOW ONE
MORE DAY OF AFTERNOON POP-UP STORMS ON SATURDAY THEN FOCUS MOST OF
THE PRECIP EAST OF THE AREA FOR SUNDAY-TUESDAY. CONTINUED S-SE FLOW
WILL KEEP CONDITIONS UNSEASONABLY WARM THROUGH MID WEEK UNDER
GENERALLY PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE TREND PUT OUT
BY THE MID SHIFT TO KEEP TEMPERATURES JUST ABOVE GUIDANCE DUE TO THE
UNUSUAL SET-UP FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. LOOKING AT THE RECORD HIGHS
OVER THE NEXT WEEK...IT LOOKS LIKE SATURDAY MAY BE OUR BEST CHANCE OF
BREAKING RECORDS DUE TO THE RELATIVELY LOW RECORD MAX TEMPS...BUT
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A COUPLE MORE RECORD-BREAKING
TEMPERATURE DAYS BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
ON THE LARGER SCALE...THE AMPLIFYING RIDGE ON THE EAST COAST WILL
CORRELATE TO A RIGOROUSLY DEEPENING TROF ACROSS THE WEST COAST AND
ROCKIES. MODELS ARE GENERALLY IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH TUESDAY
WITH THE DEEPENING TROF DEVELOPING A CUTOFF LOW ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST..BUT SOLUTIONS TEND TO DIVERGE WITH THE SPEED OF BRINGING
THAT LOW BACK INTO THE MAIN FLOW. IN THESE TYPES OF SITUATIONS THE
MODELS GENERALLY TEND TO RUSH THE PROGRESSION OF THE LOW SO HAVE
WEIGHTED MY FCST TOWARD THE SLOWER GFS SOLN WHICH WOULD KEEP THE
MAIN AREA OF POPS WEST OF THE CWA UNTIL AT LEAST THURSDAY. EITHER
WAY...TEMPS SHOULD START TO COOL BACK DOWN HEADING INTO NEXT WEEKEND
AS CLOUD COVER AND POP CHANCES INCREASE AHEAD OF THE LOW AND COLD
FRONT.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 1223 PM CDT THU MAR 15 2012/
FOR 18Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS NORTH
AL AND SOUTHERN MIDDLE TN. TSRA DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON MAY
BRING MVFR TO IFR CIGS IN THE VICINITY OF THE AIRPORTS. DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY WITH THE MOVEMENT, HAVE INCLUDED VCTS UNTIL 01Z WHEN TSRA
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH SOMEWHAT (CB IS INCLUDED DURING
OVERNIGHT). ADDITIONAL SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT IS THEN EXPECTED AFTER
12Z AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION INDICATED
BY VCSH.
