The radar
The Northeast Alabama radar (KHTX), 63 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:47 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 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.
The nearest sounding before it
Birmingham, AL (KBMX), launched 00:00Z, 3.8 hours before the alert went out and 142 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.

KDWWhat 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 Jul 10, 6:48 PM CDT, 3 hours 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 6:48 PM CDT, 3 hours 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 648 PM CDT WED JUL 10 2013 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z TAFS && .DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 345 PM CDT WED JUL 10 2013/ THE CENTRAL TENNESSEE VALLEY REMAINS LOCATED BENEATH A MODERATE NORTH-NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME ALOFT THIS AFTERNOON -- TO THE EAST OF A MID-LEVEL HIGH CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND TO THE WEST OF A WEAK INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE FLORIDA STRAITS NORTHWARD INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION. ALTHOUGH DEEP-LAYER FORCING FOR ASCENT IS WEAK AND UNFOCUSED...THE COMBINATION OF DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT AND STRONG INSOLATION/DESTABILIZATION WILL ALLOW FOR SCATTERED/NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS WILL ACTUALLY BECOME MORE SUPPORTIVE OF WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT...AS A PRONOUNCED MID- LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS CONTINUES TO DIG SOUTHEASTWARD REACHING THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES BY THURSDAY MORNING. AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG SURFACE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM CENTRAL MICHIGAN SOUTHWESTWARD INTO SOUTHERN KANSAS...BUT IS FORECAST TO MAKE STEADY SOUTHWARD PROGRESS AND EXTEND FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS NORTHEASTWARD INTO NORTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE/SOUTHERN KENTUCKY BY 12Z THURSDAY. MOST RECENT NWP GUIDANCE IS IN STRONG AGREEMENT THAT AFTERNOON CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG A PREFRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE MID-MISSISSIPPI/LOWER OHIO VALLEYS WILL CONGEAL INTO A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM THAT IS FORECAST TO TRANSLATE SOUTHEASTWARD REACHING THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA BY EARLY/MID EVENING AND EITHER EXITING OR DISSIPATING ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES VERY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL BE QUITE WEAK /GENERALLY 15-20 KNOTS AT MOST/ THE MCS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP A STRONG COLD POOL WHICH MAY ENHANCE THE THREAT FOR GUSTY WINDS IN THE 30-40 MPH RANGE. OTHERWISE...THE MAIN IMPACTS WILL BE LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL -- WHICH MAY AGGRAVATE PREEXISTING FLOODING ISSUES. GIVEN STRONG CONSISTENCY IN THIS SOLUTION AMONG THE GFS/UKMET/GEM/ECMWF AS WELL AS THE WRF-NMM AND NSSL WRF...THE PRESENCE OF A MID-LEVEL WAVE...AND PWAT VALUES NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE 2 INCHES...WILL INCREASE POPS INTO THE 70-80 PERCENT RANGE. ALTHOUGH THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY STILL BE LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE AREA AT 12Z THURSDAY...THERE IS A HIGH AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE CONVECTIVE FORECAST TOMORROW. THIS IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE IMPACTS OF OVERNIGHT CONVECTION AND A POTENTIALLY RAIN- COOLED AND STABLE BOUNDARY LAYER THAT MAY BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION AS THE FRONT SLIDES SOUTHEASTWARD. BASED ON THE FACTORS MENTIONED ABOVE AND INDICATIONS OF WEAK MID-LEVEL SUBSIDENCE IN FORECAST SOUNDINGS...WILL SLIGHTLY UNDERCUT MOS POPS TOMORROW. THERE IS ALSO QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING WHEN THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH SOUTHWARD...WITH THE UKMET THE FASTEST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS AND THE NAM THE SLOWEST -- ACTUALLY STALLING THE FRONT ON TOP OF THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY. WILL TAKE A BLEND OF THE GUIDANCE AND ADVERTISE A FRONTAL PASSAGE SOMETIME LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EARLY THURSDAY EVENING...WITH LOWS ON FRIDAY MORNING FALLING INTO THE MID 60S. DURING THE PERIOD FROM FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...THE CENTRAL PLAINS MID-LEVEL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN AND BUILD NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE GREAT LAKES IN RESPONSE TO DOWNSTREAM HEIGHT FALLS ACROSS WESTERN CANADA. AS THIS OCCURS...THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. INVERTED TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO RETROGRADE SOUTHWESTWARD. THIS REGIME WILL MAINTAIN A DRY NORTHEAST FLOW ACROSS THE AREA...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S AND LOWS IN THE MID 60S. IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD...THE CENTRAL CONUS MID-LEVEL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN FURTHER AND BECOME ESTABLISHED ACROSS NEBRASKA/IOWA/NORTHERN KANSAS/NORTHERN MISSOURI THIS WEEKEND -- FORCING THE INVERTED TROUGH TO ACCELERATE WESTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO AND INTO SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS BY SUNDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH AFTERNOON CONVECTION MAY BEGIN TO INCREASE SLIGHTLY BY SUNDAY AS LOW-LEVEL FLOW VEERS TO THE SOUTHEAST...RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL LIKELY LIMIT THE CHANCE FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...THAT SAID...IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THAT RAIN CHANCES MAY INCREASE MORE SUBSTANTIALLY IF THE REMNANT CIRCULATION OF CHANTAL AND ITS ASSOCIATED MOISTURE PLUME LIFT NORTHWESTWARD INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. AS INDICATED BY SOME MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE. GIVEN THE LOW PROBABILITY AT THIS TIME...WILL KEEP POPS/TEMPS NEAR CLIMO. 70/DD && .AVIATION... FOR 00Z TAFS...CONVECTION ACROSS NE AL HAS BEEN WEAKENING A BIT OVER THE PAST FEW HRS...ALTHOUGH ADDITIONAL CLUSTERS REMAIN BOTH N AND S OF THE IMMEDIATE AREA. THE OVERALL TREND WOULD HAVE MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY DIMINISHING LATER THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. HOWEVER...SUBTLE EMBEDDED WAVES TRAVERSING SEWD WITHIN A NWLY FLOW REGIME MAY ALLOW FOR SOME REDEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT. UNTIL THEN...VFR CONDS ARE GENERALLY XPCTED WELL INTO THE AFTERNOON HRS. ONLY EXCEPTION MAY BE SOME -BR/MVFR VIS DURING THE EARLY MORNING PERIOD...MAINLY BETWEEN 10-13Z. 09 && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE.
