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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Birmingham, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 28, 6:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 6:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
645 PM CDT MON APR 28 2014

.UPDATE...
FOR 00Z AVIATION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

RAPID DESTABILIZATION IS HAPPENING IN THE WARM MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER.
CLOUD COVER IS SCATTERED TO BROKEN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AND
TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED SIGNIFICANTLY UP INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70.
THESE CONDITIONS HAVE YIELDED EXTREME SBCAPE VALUES OF NEAR 2000
TO 3000 J/KG. THE 18Z BMX SOUNDING INDICATES THAT THE CAP SHOULD
BE GONE BY NOW WITH TEMPERATURES CURRENTLY IN THE 80S. THE 0-1 KM
SRH IS CURRENTLY AROUND 100-200 M2/S2 ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. WE
WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE LOW LEVEL SHEAR CAREFULLY TONIGHT AS THE
MODELS DIFFER ON HOW MUCH THE SHEAR RAMPS UP OVER THE AREA. MOST
OF THE HI-RES MODELS HAVE BEEN INDICATING A SECONDARY LOW
DEVELOPING JUST TO THE NORTHWEST THAT CAUSES THE WIND FIELDS TO
BECOME MORE SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. IF THIS
WERE TO HAPPEN 0-1 KM SRH VALUES WOULD BUMP UP ANYWHERE FROM
250-400 M2/S2. EXPECT THE CAPE WILL DECREASE SOME WITH THE LOSS
OF DAYTIME HEATING BUT THIS SHOULD NOT PLAY A MAJOR FACTOR IN
LIMITING THE THREAT. DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF THE SEVERE WEATHER
PARAMETERS A STRONG TO VIOLENT TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT OVER
NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. IN ADDITION...THE SPC
HAS UPGRADED THE SWODY1 TO A HIGH RISK ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHWESTERN ALABAMA. THE MAIN THREAT AREA WILL BE OVER THE
NORTHWESTERN HALF OF CENTRAL ALABAMA BUT CANNOT RULE OUT SEVERE
STORMS OR A TORNADO FURTHER TO THE EAST. THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL
BEGIN TO WEAKEN LATE TONIGHT AND TOWARDS SUNRISE AND THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. THIS IS A
VERY SERIOUS THREAT AND SHOULD BE TAKEN AS SO. PLEASE BE SURE THAT
YOU HAVE MULTIPLE WAYS TO RECEIVE SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS. DANGEROUS
SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECT THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. PLEASE HAVE ALERT SYSTEM THAT CAN WAKE YOU UP DURING THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT LIKE A NOAA WEATHER RADIO.

THE THREAT TOMORROW LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO TODAY. MODELS HAVE BEEN
MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND HAVE
PUSHED IT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA NEAR DAYBREAK TOMORROW. IF
THIS WERE TO HAPPEN...WE COULD SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
TOMORROW AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH ROTATES THROUGH THE BROAD
UPPER LEVEL LOW. SBCAPE VALUES ONCE AGAIN PUSH UP TO 2000-3000
J/KG WITH AN INCREASE IN THE LOW LEVEL JET DUE TO THE INCOMING
SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP WITH THE DIVERGENT
FLOW ALOFT AND EXTREME INSTABILITY. SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
ONCE AGAIN WITH TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND
FLOODING POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN. THERE ARE STILL SOME UNCERTAINTIES
BECAUSE THE THREATS ARE CONDITIONAL ON HOW THE SYSTEM EVOLVES
TONIGHT. REGARDLESS...THESE TWO THREATS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY
SERIOUSLY...WE HAVE NOT HAD AN EVENT LIKE THIS IN CENTRAL ALABAMA
IN SOMETIME.

05/MA

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

THE MAIN LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COMES LATER TONIGHT
DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. ALL TYPES OF SEVERE
WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH STRONG DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL
AND TORNADOES. FURTHER UPDATES WILL REFINE THE TIMING OF THE LINE
OF THUNDERSTORMS.

NOTE...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS NOW ISSUING SEASONAL
TERMINAL FORECASTS FOR THE TALLADEGA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KASN) IN
TALLADEGA...ALABAMA. THE FORECASTS WILL BE ISSUED THROUGH AT LEAST
MAY 8TH 00Z. DUE TO THE LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF OBSERVATIONS...
KASN TAF WILL HAVE AMD NOT SKED APPENDED TO THE END OF THE FORECAST.
