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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
718 PM CDT MON APR 28 2014

.UPDATE...
MESOSCALE UPDATE.

&&

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
TORNADIC SUPERCELLS CONTINUE TO PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWFA THIS
EVENING, ORIENTED SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. SB CAPE
VALUES OF 1500-2000 J/KG ARE NOSING UP AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE OF
CONVECTION AS IT SHIFTS EASTWARD, WITH EFFECTIVE SHEAR APPROACHING
500 M2/S2. THE SIGTOR REMAINS ~4, WITH THE SUPERCELL COMPOSITE
PARAMETER DISPLAYING A BULLSEYE OF 20 DIRECTLY OVER THE HUN CWFA.
THIS WILL LEAD TO A TORNADIC THREAT FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS.

AN H5 JET CONTINUES TO DIG NORTHEASTWARD AROUND THE BASE OF THE
UPPER TROF OVER THE MIDWEST, PROVIDING DIVERGENT FLOW ALOFT,
ENHANCING LIFT FOR THE SEVERE STORMS ONGOING ACROSS THE AREA. AN H85
JET OF 40-50KTS FROM THE SW WILL COMBINE WITH A 925MB JET FROM THE
S/SE TO ENHANCE LL FLOW AND A DAMAGING WIND THREAT.

THE CENTER OF THE UPPER LOW IS LOCATED OVER NWRN MO/SWRN IA, WITH
THE SFC LOW LOCATED JUST SW OF THE UPPER LOW. THE COLD FRONT HAS
MEANDERED CLOSER TO THE CWFA, NOW ON THE DOORSTEP OF THE MS RIVER,
WITH A MESO HIGH NOTED BEHIND THE INITIAL LINE OF SEVERE STORMS IN
NRN MS.

THE LINE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWFA, WITH THE HP
SUPERCELLS CONTINUING TO PRODUCE PROLIFIC RAIN RATES OF 4+ INCHES PER
HOUR. A FEW BASINS IN NW AL HAVE SURPASSED 4 OR 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL
IN THE SPAN OF TWO HOURS OR LESS, WITH THE AREAS WITHIN TRAINING
CELLS MEASURING A BIT MORE.

WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR TRENDS AND PROVIDE MESOSCALE UPDATES
AS NECESSARY, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS JUST YET.
