What was reported inside it
| Time | Report | Where | Remark |

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
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 00:00Z, 0.7 hours before the alert went out and 162 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, Mar 15, 7:05 PM CDT, 36 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 705 PM CDT THU MAR 15 2012 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z TAFS && .DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 223 PM CDT THU MAR 15 2012/ 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. CCC && .AVIATION... FOR 00Z TAFS... TSRA WILL BE ONGOING AT THE START OF THE TAF PERIOD...WITH GUSTY WINDS ALONG WITH REDUCED VIS AND CIGS. AFTER THE TSRA LINE MOVES EAST OF THE AREA...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. WITH LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED TOWARD DAYBREAK AND MOISTURE LINGERING ACROSS THE AREA...PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP. SCATTERED TSRA ARE AGAIN EXPECTED ON THURSDAY...ALONG WITH SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS.
