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.

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 Jun 6, 3:29 PM CDT, 2 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 3:29 PM CDT, 2 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
329 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014

.DISCUSSION...

COVERAGE OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAS INCREASED OVER THE LAST
COUPLE HOURS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND WATCHING SEVERAL
MULTICELL CLUSTERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THIS ACTIVITY WILL
MOVE TO THE EAST SOUTHEAST...BUT ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE DEVELOPING
AND BECOMING ORGANIZED UPSTREAM. THESE STORMS WILL POSE A THREAT
OF DAMAGING WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. LOOK TO GRAPHICASTS FOR
MORE NEAR TERM UPDATES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER THE MCS OVER EASTERN
ARKANSAS PUSHES EASTWARD MAINTAINING STRENGTH BEFORE IT REACHES
CENTRAL ALABAMA LATER TODAY. LATEST SATELLITE TRENDS SHOWS
LIGHTNING ACTIVITY AND COLDEST CLOUD TOPS PUSHING MORE IN A NNE
DIRECTION...TOWARD THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. AHEAD OF THE
MCS...CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING IN A NORTH TO SOUTH ORIENTED LINE
ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER FROM MEMPHIS INTO NW LOUISIANA. THE
AIRMASS ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI HAS NOT SEEN MUCH ACTIVITY
TODAY AND IS QUITE UNSTABLE. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO BECOME THE
FOCUS AS IT MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND
CONTINUE TO POSE A THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA.

FOR THE WEEKEND...THE MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SLIGHTLY AMPLIFIES
ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW...KEEPING SHORT WAVE IMPULSES TO OUR
NORTH. AIRMASS WILL BE UNSTABLE AND EXPECT AFTERNOON STORMS TO
DEVELOP...BUT WITH LESS ORGANIZATION THAN TODAY. A FEW STRONG
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE...BUT COVERAGE WILL BE LOWER. ON
SUNDAY...MID LEVEL FLOW DEAMPLIFIES AND HEIGHTS FALL. SURFACE LOW
SHIFTING ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY WILL DROP A FRONT SOUTHWARD
THROUGH THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY...PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. STRONG STORMS WILL AGAIN BE
POSSIBLE.

MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST. A WEAK
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA ON MONDAY...WITH
WESTERLY WINDS TURNING MORE SOUTHERLY BY TUESDAY. DIURNALLY DRIVEN
CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE BOTH AFTERNOONS...AS TYPICALLY IS THE
CASE DURING THE SUMMER. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE AREA
OVERNIGHT TUESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY. MODELS AGREE THAT THE TROUGH
WILL HANG AROUND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED...WITH SLIGHTLY
HIGHER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION THEN WHAT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL
FOR SUMMER. ALTHOUGH THERE IS MODEL CONSISTENCY...WILL KEEP
CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST...GIVEN THE LACK OF DEEP LAYER
MOISTURE. TEMPERATURES DURING THE EXTENDED WILL START OFF SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL AND THEN TREND DOWNWARD WITH THE UPPER TROUGH MOVING
INTO THE AREA.

14/73

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

CONVECTION IS GETTING GOING MUCH EARLIER TODAY MUCH IN THANKS TO
LESS CLOUD COVER EARLY ON DURING THE MORNING...ALLOWING THINGS TO
HEAT UP QUICKER AND CONVECTION TO COMMENCE. LESS CHANCES AT
MGM/TOI EARLY ON BUT ACTIVITY SHOULD PROGRESS SOUTHWARD DURING THE
AFTERNOON. A FEW STORMS COULD GET STRONG BY LATE AFTERNOON.

NOTE: SOME MISSING DATA AT MGM...BUT SHOULD BE TEMPORARY AS TECHS
ARE WORKING ON EQUIPMENT AT THIS TIME.
