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 00:00Z, 3.1 hours before the alert went out and 119 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.

56What 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 24, 6:44 PM CDT, 3 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 6:44 PM CDT, 3 hours 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 644 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z AVIATION. && .DISCUSSION... TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION HAS REALLY PLAYED A ROLE IN DELAYING THE ONSET OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER CENTRAL ALABAMA. SOME AREA HAVE SIMPLY NOT RECOVERED AT ALL WITH SURFACE DEW POINTS DROPPING INTO THE MID 60S. SATELLITE IMAGERY MAKES CENTRAL ALABAMA APPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING OF FIRE. THIS WILL SOON CHANGE AS WE EXPECT DEVELOPMENT IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST AREAS OR MOVE IN FROM GEORGIA. THE INSTABILITY PARAMETERS EXPECTED THE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR UN ORGANIZED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH A POTENTIAL OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. ATLANTA JUST HAD A WIND GUST OF 61 MPH WITH STORMS EAST OF US. KEPT THE MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS GOING ALL NIGH AS THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL OF MESOSCALE INTERACTIONS AT ANY TIME...BUT AN OVERALL DECREASE IS COVERAGE IS ANTICIPATED. THE ONE FLY IN THE OINTMENT WOULD BE IF A COLD POOL CAN BE ESTABLISHED ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A MORE EXTENSIVE THUNDERSTORM AREA AND IT MOVE WESTWARD INTO THE AREA...WILL MONITOR CLOSELY. DECREASED POPS EVER SO SLIGHTLY ON THURSDAY AS MOISTURE AND BOUNDARIES APPEAR TO BE A BIT LESS. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE SURFACE DEW POINTS CLOSELY...BECAUSE IF THEY CAN REMAIN INTO THE 70S AND TEMPS ARE EVEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER...HEAT INDICES WILL BE NEAR 105 DEGREES. AT THIS TIME...WILL NOT ISSUE AN ADVISORY FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON. MOST MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING OVERHEAD ON FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL BE GOOD...THEREFORE...STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY FRIDAY. GUSTY WINDS...LIGHTNING AND HAIL WILL BE THE THREATS. SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AS UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH DEEPENS. EXPECT WIDESPREAD RAIN CHANCES ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND MAINTAINED HIGH POPS. 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES INCREASE RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT TO AROUND 30 KTS WHICH IS UNSEASONABLE FOR LATE JUNE AND COULD ALLOW FOR STORM ORGANIZATION. STRONGER STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE BUT CONFIDENCE IN SEVERE STORMS IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE HWO AT THIS TIME...AND WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/STORMS AHEAD OF THE FRONT COULD HINDER DESTABILIZATION. MODELS SEEM TO BE TRENDING A LITTLE QUICKER IN MOVING THE FRONT OUT OF THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING. POPS ON SUNDAY HAVE BEEN DECREASED A BIT AND MAY NEED TO BE DECREASED FURTHER IF TRENDS CONTINUE. FOR MOST AREAS SUNDAY WILL BE A VERY PLEASANT DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S AND COMFORTABLE DEWPOINTS. LOW PW VALUES WILL RESULT IN DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL BE NEAR SEASONAL AVERAGES. MODELS DIFFER ON A POSSIBLE SHORTWAVE MOVING DOWN THE BASE OF THE TROUGH ON MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT SO WILL KEEP POPS LOW. MORE SEASONABLE RAIN CHANCES RETURN BY TUESDAY. 32/DAVIS 75 && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. WE HAVE THREE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES MOVING INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AND WILL CAUSE ISSUES AT MOST SITES OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE OUTFLOW IN THE WEST WILL IMPACT TCL...BHM AND EET. MEANWHILE A SECOND OUTFLOW MOVING OUT OF GEORGIA IS SLIDE INTO THE SOUTH AND WILL IMPACT MGM AND TOI. MEANWHILE A THIRD OUTFLOW IS NOW MOVING IN NORTHEAST ALABAMA AND WILL IMPACT ANB AND ASN. TRIED TO TIME OUT OUT THE IMPACT OF ALL OUTFLOWS BUT WILL LIKELY HAVE TO AMEND FREQUENTLY AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT 6 HOURS. BY SUNRISE COULD BE SOME BRIEF MVFR WITH HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN THE NORTHEAST. THEN MORE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AFTER 19 TO 21Z ON THURSDAY. 16 && .FIRE WEATHER... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH HOT AND HUMID CONTINUES WILL CONTINUE THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA LATE SATURDAY...DECREASING RAIN CHANCES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP OFF SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH DRIER AIR ALSO IN PLACE. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL NOT BE EXTREMELY LOW. 75 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
