The radar

The Columbus AFB radar (KGWX), 87 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:47 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Birmingham, AL (KBMX), launched 12:00Z, 8.7 hours before the alert went out and 129 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 29, 3:23 PM CDT, 20 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
323 PM CDT WED JUL 29 2015

.DISCUSSION...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS CENTRAL
ALABAMA IN THE HOT AND HUMID AIR MASS. TEMPERATURES QUICKLY ROSE
INTO THE MIDDLE 90S BY LATE MORNING AND HEAT INDICES CLIMBED INTO
105-108 RANGE...BUT CONVECTION HAS COOLED DOWN MOST AREAS AND THE
HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN CANCELLED. THE ARE TWO CLUSTERS OF STORMS
ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA...ONE NEAR THE I-20 CORRIDOR AND ANOTHER
ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHERN COUNTIES OF CENTRAL ALABAMA. BY SUNSET
THE NORTHERN ACTIVITY SHOULD BE SOUTH OF I-20...AND WILL GO WITH
JUST 20 PERCENT RAIN CHANCES FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20
OVERNIGHT...WITH 30 PERCENT CHANCES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES.

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA ON THURSDAY. THIS
BOUNDARY WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION...WITH MOST OF THE
CONVECTION LIKELY DEVELOPING SOUTH OF I-20 DURING THE AFTERNOON.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...HEAT AND HUMIDITY VALUES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE
AN ISSUE...AND HEAT INDICES MAY CLIMB TO AROUND 105 DEGREES BEFORE
THE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS GET GOING. BY FRIDAY THE NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF CENTRAL ALABAMA SHOULD NOTICE THE DRIER AIR LOCATED
BEHIND THE FRONT...AS SURFACE DEWPOINTS FALL INTO THE LOWER 60S.
THE SURFACE BOUNDARY SHOULD HANG UP NEAR THE I-85 CORRIDOR...SO
RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHEAST AREAS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH THE MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING TOWARDS LESS
CONVECTION ACROSS THIS AREA...AND DID LOWER POPS SLIGHTLY IN
THESE AREAS. RAIN FREE CONDITIONS EXPECTED MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS
THE UPPER TROF AXIS OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES PUSHES THE
DEEPER MOISTURE INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL ALSO
STAY LOWER WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S.

58/ROSE

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS ALREADY ONGOING ACROSS PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL ALABAMA. BASED ON HIRES MODELS BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A BIT
LESS COVERAGE IN THE NORTHEAST AS COMPARED TO OTHER AREAS SO HAVE
ADDED A TEMPO FOR TSRA AT ALL TERMINALS EXCEPT ANB/ASN FOR NOW.
WILL MONITOR CLOSELY AND MAY HAVE TO AMEND IF COVERAGE INCREASES.
BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL ACCOMPANY STORMS
AND GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE.

HIRES MODELS ALSO SHOW MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY SHIFTING SOUTHWARD
THRU THE DAY AS THE SHORTWAVE TRAVERSES THE AREA. THEREFORE HAVE
BEST CHANCE OF TS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. MAY HAVE TO EXTEND TS
MENTION A BIT LONGER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTH. SOME PATCHY
FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN LATE TONIGHT.

.FIRE WEATHER...

ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY VALUES WILL COTINUE
INTO THURSDAY. A WEAK COOL FRONT WILL BRING LESS HUMID AIR INTO
CENTRAL ALABAMA ON FRIDAY...ALONG WITH DECREASING CHANCES OF
RAIN.
