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.
The watch it was issued in

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE TO AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1159 PM CDT MON APR 28 2014
...INCREASING RISK OF A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT LATE TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL ACROSS MUCH OF OUR REGION...
...HEAVY RAINS AND FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...
.AVIATION...
06Z ISSUANCE...STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING IFR
LEVEL CIGS TO FORECAST POINTS...AHEAD OF A LINE OF TSRA MOVING EAST
ACROSS SE-ERN MS/W-RN AL. DISCRETE CELLS ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT AREA
AIRPORTS IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...WITH THE LINE CROSSING THE AREA
AROUND SUNRISE. ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE
FORECAST...WITH STRENGTH DEPENDING UPON HOW MUCH HEATING OCCURS
DURING THE DAY.
/16
&&
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)...EARLY AFTERNOON WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS A DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW SPINNING OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS
STATES WITH BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW ENCOMPASSING MUCH OF THE CENTRAL PART
OF THE NATION IN THE BASE OF THIS FEATURE. A MID LEVEL JET STREAK
LIFTING FROM THE ARKLATEX REGION TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS
AFTERNOON HAS AIDED IN ENHANCED LIFT WITH NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS
FIRING ACROSS NORTHEAST LOUISIANA INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
MISSISSIPPI...AND FAR NORTHWEST ALABAMA. AN OUTBREAK OF
SUPERCELLS/SEVERE STORMS WITH TORNADOES IS CURRENTLY ONGOING ACROSS
MUCH OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI THIS AFTERNOON. RADAR IS
CURRENTLY QUIET FOR THE TIME BEING ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA...WITH
PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES IN PLACE AND INCREASED SOUTHERLY WIND
FLOW COURTESY OF AN INCREASED MSLP GRADIENT BETWEEN A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE EAST AND A COLD FRONT FRONT APPROACHING THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION. LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW FREQUENT
GUSTS APPROACHING OR OCCASIONALLY ABOVE 30 MPH ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
REGION THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL MAINTAIN THE WIND ADVISORY WHICH
CURRENTLY RUNS THROUGH 10 PM CDT.
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD TONIGHT...
BECOMING CENTERED ROUGHLY IN THE VICINITY OF NORTHERN MO/SOUTHERN IA
BY 12Z TUESDAY. DEEP LAYER FORCING WILL BECOME FOCUSED FROM SOUTHERN
TN...THROUGH MUCH OF NORTHERN AND WESTERN AL...AND SOUTHWESTWARD
INTO SOUTHEAST MS AND LA THIS EVENING. AN ASSOCIATED COMPLEX OF
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE WITHIN THIS GENERAL VICINITY
THIS EVENING/TONIGHT WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS EXPECTED TO RESIDE
WITHIN THE COMPLEX. THE LEADING EDGE OF THE COMPLEX IS EXPECTED TO
PUSH INTO NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA DURING THE LATE
MONDAY EVENING HOURS/PRE-DAWN HOURS TUESDAY...GENERALLY BETWEEN 10
PM AND 4 AM NORTHWEST OF THE I-65 CORRIDOR...BEFORE THE COMPLEX
GRADUALLY PROGRESSES SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF I-65
BETWEEN 3-4 AM AND 10 AM TO NOON TUESDAY. THE PRESENCE OF A
WARM/VERY MOIST AIRMASS WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S F WILL BE IN PLACE TONIGHT ALONG WITH AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS
[MLCAPE VALUES AS HIGH AS 1500-2000 J/KG]. 0-6 KM SHEAR VALUES WILL
RANGE BETWEEN 40-50 KNOTS...WHILE LOW/MID LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES WILL
SUPPORT 0-3 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES AROUND 250 M2/S2
ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. AS
SUCH...THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE SUPERCELL
STORMS TO BE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE COMPLEX LATE TONIGHT. TORNADOES...
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL ALL BE A HAZARD LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITHIN
THE LINE...WITH MANY LOCATIONS POTENTIALLY RECEIVING 1 TO 2 INCHES OF
RAIN OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY...WITH LOCALIZED DOUBLE OR HIGHER
THESE AMOUNTS UNDERNEATH THE STRONGER STORMS.
THE DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PIVOT ACROSS THE VICINITY
OF THE UPPER MIDWESTERN STATES TUESDAY. AS EARLIER MENTIONED...THE
EARLY MORNING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROGRESS
SOUTHEAST OF I-65 THROUGH THE MORNING. AS CONVECTION DECREASES
THROUGH THE MID TO LATE MORNING...THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR RE-LOADING
OF INSTABILITY/CAPE ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS IN ADVANCE A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE
TROUGH/JET STREAK THAT WILL BE APPROACHING OUR CWFA. THE LATEST NAM
AND GFS SOLUTIONS SHOW MLCAPE VALUES INCREASING TO AROUND 2000-3000
J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE JET
STREAK PUSHING ACROSS THE REGION WILL AID IN THE RAPID INITIATION OF
ADDITIONAL SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS/STORMS ACROSS THE CWFA
DURING THE AFTERNOON. INSTABILITY AND SHEAR WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR
SUPERCELL STORM MODES...WITH 0-3 KM VERTICAL AND WIND SHEAR PROFILES
SUPPORTIVE OF TORNADOES...ONE OR TWO POTENTIALLY STRONG...IN
ADDITION TO A DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WIND/LARGE HAIL THREAT. THE
LATEST DAY 2 SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK FROM SPC PLACES MUCH OF OUR
FORECAST AREA IN A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS...SO A SIGNIFICANT
OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER MAY SOME LOCATIONS...PARTICULARLY ACROSS
INTERIOR SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT
THIS POTENTIAL IN THE HWO/GRAPHICS. IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE
THREAT...ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTRIBUTE TO AN ONGOING
FLOOD/FLASH FLOOD THREAT THROUGH TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF
RECENT HEAVY RAINS/SATURATED FUEL MOISTURE...AND WILL KEEP THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT. 21/CLL
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...CONTINUED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE EVENING TUESDAY...SOME STILL POSSIBLY STRONG
TO SEVERE EAST OF I-65 AND OVER THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE DURING
THE EVENING. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS MOST OF THE FCST AREA
(EXCEPT FOR THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE) OUTLOOKED FOR A MODERATE
RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER...WITH TORNADOES POSSIBLE...INTO TUESDAY
OVERNIGHT. IN ADDITION A HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT WILL ALSO BE
CONTINUING OVERNIGHT TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER EASTERN COUNTIES. A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN EFFECT TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE FRONT FINALLY MOVES THROUGH AND CLEARS
MOST OF THE FCST AREA BY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH RAIN AND STORM
CHANCES FINALLY ENDING. TEMPERATURE FCST FOLLOWS MOS GUIDANCE. 12/DS
&&
.LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO
EXTENDED FCST THIS AFTERNOON AS WE WERE FOCUSED ON THE MORE URGENT
SHORT TERM PERIOD. FCST IS STILL ADVERTISING A 30 PERCENT CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS DOWN NEAR THE COAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...BUT MORE RECENT
DATA SUGGEST THIS ACTIVITY MAY PUSH A LITTLE FURTHER OFFSHORE THAN
PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES WE WILL LIKELY HAVE TO
LOWER RAIN CHANCES FOR LATE WEEK ALONG THE COAST. NO CHANGES TO
TEMPERATURE FCST FOR LONG TERM PERIOD. 12/DS
&&
.MARINE...MODERATE TO STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING BETWEEN A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ADVANCING EASTWARD
INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT FROM THE
WEST. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT ACROSS THE MARINE AREA
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING DUE TO THE INCREASING WINDS AND BUILDING
SEAS. WINDS...WAVES AND SEAS WILL BE LOCALLY HIGHER IN AND NEAR
MARINE STORMS. SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED WIND SHIFT IS FORECAST ON
WEDNESDAY WITH A DECREASING CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE
DAY AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. OFFSHORE FLOW FORECAST ON THURSDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. 21/CLL
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...INCREASING COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA THIS EVENING. THESE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.
ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS IS LIKELY ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION ON
TUESDAY. LOCALLY HEAVY WIDESPREAD RAINS AND SEVERE WEATHER IS
POSSIBLE. TRANSPORT WINDS WILL BE STRONG OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST
INITIALLY...BECOMING MORE WESTERLY AND THEN NORTHWESTERLY BY
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. EXPECT GOOD TO EXCELLENT AFTERNOON
DISPERSIONS BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. PATCHY LIGHT FOG WILL BE
POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH VISIBILITIES BETWEEN 3 TO 5
MILES. 12/DS

A ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP NORTHWEST OF I-65 LATER THIS EVENING. THE PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES TO THE NORTHWEST OF I-65 THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. A STRONG TORNADO OR TWO IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE OVERALL LINE OF STORMS WILL THEN SLOWLY MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TO BE LOCATED GENERALLY ALONG THE I-65 CORRIDOR BY SUNRISE. THIS LINE WILL BEGIN TO SLOW AND MAY BECOME STATIONARY BY MID MORNING AS IT SETTLES TO THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY...WHICH WILL LINGER INTO TUESDAY EVENING. A SECOND AND POTENTIALLY STRONGER ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA BY MIDDAY TUESDAY. THESE WILL EVENTUALLY FORM INTO A LINE AND MOVE EASTWARD. INDIVIDUAL STORMS WILL MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST. THE PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. A STRONG TORNADO OR TWO IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AGAIN ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL BE ELEVATED BEGINNING TONIGHT...FIRST TO THE NORTHWEST OF I-65 AND THEN REGION-WIDE TOMORROW...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD TOTALS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. TOTALS COULD BE EASILY DOUBLED IF STRONG STORMS REPEATEDLY MOVE OVER THE SAME AREAS. GIVEN THE RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL THE AREA HAS EXPERIENCED... THIS ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE POTENTIAL FLOODING ISSUES AND RIVER STAGE RISES. WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM CDT FOR FREQUENT GUSTS TO 30 MPH OR HIGHER.
