The radar

The Northeast Alabama radar (KHTX), 21 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 01:26 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 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 1.4 hours before the alert went out and 151 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 27, 6:58 PM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.

.UPDATE...
FOR 00Z TAFS

&&

.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 233 PM CDT WED MAY 27 2015/
THE 19Z IR/VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT AN
ELONGATED SHORT WAVE AT 500 MILLIBARS WAS MOVING SLOWLY EASTWARD OUT
OF THE OHIO THROUGH TENNESSEE VALLEYS AND FURTHER SOUTH INTO CENTRAL
MISSISSIPPI. SHOWERS AND STORMS WERE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP TO THE
SOUTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA AND UP INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE IN THE
PVA REGIONS. EXPECT THAT BREAKS IN CLOUDS/INSTABILITY AND PWAT VALUE
INCREASES THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD TO AT LEAST
CHANCE POPS FOR THE FORECAST AREA INTO THE EVENING HOURS. EXPECT THAT
THE ECMWF/NAM SOLUTION INVOLVING LESSENING THE AMOUNT OF PRECIP/LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AFTER 06Z SHOULD BE THE TREND
TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH INVOLVING TONIGHTS PRECIP CHANCES. WILL CONTINUE
WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS DURING TONIGHTS 06Z-12Z TIME FRAME.

THERE WILL STILL BE PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AVAILABLE ALONG WITH
PWAT VALUES SLIGHTLY ABOVE 1.3 INCHES BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. AS TEMPS
WARM INTO THE MID 80S AND LIFTED INDICES LOWER TO -3 BY THE
AFTERNOON...WILL CONTINUE WITH A CHANCE POP FOR THE FORECAST AREA
INTO THURSDAY EVENING. THE LOW LEVEL SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW AND STILL
ABUNDANT MOISTURE SHOULD AGAIN RESULT IN A CHANCE POP FOR FRIDAY FOR
THE FORECAST AREA. BY 12Z SATURDAY...A COLD FRONT IS PROGGED BY THE
MODELS TO SLOWLY SHIFT SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE MIDWEST WITH CONTINUED
MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS OUR AREA.

WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS FOR THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH SUNDAY
AS THE WEAKENING COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO SLOWLY MAKE IT SOUTHWARD
THROUGH KENTUCKY AND INTO WEST TENNESSEE. HAVE UPPED PRECIP CHANCES
INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY FOR SUNDAY DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE COLD
FRONT TO THE FORECAST AREA...PWAT VALUES APPROACHING 1.5 INCHES AND
NEARLY A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AFTERNOON ATMOSPHERE. THE MODELS ARE IN
FAVORABLE AGREEMENT INVOLVING STALLING OUT THE COLD FRONT TO THE
NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY BETWEEN SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY. THE GFS
AND ECMWF MODELS ARE BOTH SIMILAR INVOLVING ALSO SLOWLY SHIFTING A
WEAK UPPER LOW AT 500 MILLIBARS SOUTHEAST INTO WEST TENNESSEE BY
TUESDAY. THE EFFECTS OF THIS UPPER SYSTEM ALONG WITH ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD CONTINUE TO RESULT IN HIGHER END CHANCE POPS
FOR THE FORECAST AREA INTO WEDNESDAY. HAVE FOLLOWED CLOSER TO THE
SLIGHTLY COOLER GFS TEMPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIODS.
