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.

.DISCUSSION...

ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER AND WIDESPREAD FLOODING ACROSS PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS MORNING. ACROSS THE I-20 CORRIDOR...NUMEROUS
WATER RESCUES AND IMPASSABLE ROADS DUE TO CREEKS RISING ABOVE BANK
FULL AND 5 TO 8 INCHES OF RAINFALL. ACROSS THE SOUTH...MONITORING
THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS AND TORNADOES. THE BACK EDGE OF THE
HEAVY RAIN SHIELD IS NOW LOCATED GENERALLY FROM WARRIOR TO WOODSTOCK
TO MARION...WITH THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS SHIFTING EASTWARD TO LOCATIONS
EAST OF INTERSTATE 65. THE AIRMASS ACROSS SOUTHEAST CENTRAL ALABAMA
REMAINS CONDUCIVE FOR SEVERE STORM AND TORNADO DEVELOPMENT...WITH
TEMPERATURES REMAINING STEADY IN THE LOW 70S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE
UPPER 60S.

QUICK MODEL ANALYSIS SHOWS THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS STILL WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER...WITH THE SURFACE LOW OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI
RIVER. AS THE TROUGH SWINGS EAST AND THE LOW MOVES TO THE
NORTHEAST...THE MOISTURE FLOW INTO THE AREA WILL CONTINUE. WE ARE
ALSO BEGINNING TO SEE THE REDEVELOP ACROSS MISSISSIPPI...JUST AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT. CURRENT THOUGHTS ARE FOR A LOW END SEVERE THREAT
TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE WEST UNTIL THIS AXIS CLEARS THE AREA.
ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL COULD ALSO FURTHER EXACERBATE THE ALREADY
FLOODING AREAS.
