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, 10.3 hours before the alert went out and 190 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 10, 3:53 PM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 3:53 PM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 353 PM CDT FRI APR 10 2015 .SHORT TERM (THROUGH THIS EVENING)...LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE STILL SHOWS THE CHANCE FOR A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS FORMING OUT AHEAD AND ALONG A COLD FRONT MOVING SOUTH TOWARDS THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON...PROGGED TO MOVE OFFSHORE LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. LATEST RADAR LOOPS CONTINUE TO SHOW SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MOST INLAND AREAS OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH A FEW ISOLATED STRONG CELLS POSSIBLE GENERATING BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND GUSTY WINDS MAYBE UP TO 25 TO 35 MPH. AS THE FRONT NEARS THIS AFTERNOON...GENERALLY AFTER 3 PM CDT...STRONGER STORMS WILL BE LIKELY GENERATING GUSTY STRAIGHT LINE WINDS POSSIBLY TO NEAR 60 MPH...HEAVY RAIN...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND A FEW ISOLATED CASES OF MEDIUM TO LARGE HAIL. LATEST MODEL SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE REGION SHOW SLIGHTLY HIGHER INSTABILITY VALUES COMPARED TO YESTERDAY WHICH SUPPORTS THIS REASONING. AS MENTIONED EARLIER DEEPER MOISTURE AXIS JUST TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING SHIFTS EAST OVER MUCH OF THE REGION ALLOWING FOR HEAVIER RAINFALL AMOUNTS ALSO...POSSIBLY UP TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR WITH SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS. THE NEWER GUIDANCE ALSO DEPICTS SOME DRYNESS IN THE LOWER TO MID LEVELS SUPPORTING THE POSSIBILITY OF FEW STRONG DOWNBURSTS OR OUTFLOWS WITH THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS LATER TODAY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING GENERALLY TO THE NORTHEAST AND EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WITH POSSIBLE STRONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SHIFTING SOUTH TOWARDS THE AL AND NWFL LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. LATEST POST FROM STORM PREDICTION CENTER KEEPS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP THROUGH THIS EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL TO THE MID 60S WELL INLAND TO THE NORTHWEST AND THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S FOR ALL OTHER AREAS INCLUDING THE IMMEDIATE COAST. (LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY)...A SHALLOW WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH TO THE COAST JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WITH THE BULK OF THE HEAVIER PRECIP MOVING WELL OFFSHORE BY 12Z SAT. THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH AND STALL OVER THE NORTHERN GULF WATERS BY MIDDAY SAT THEN BEGIN TO RETREAT NORTHWARD AND DISSIPATE LATE SATURDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WITH THIS PATTERN EXPECT LOW STATUS AND LIGHT PRECIP TO FORM IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT OVERNIGHT AND EARLY SAT ERODING SLOWLY LATER IN THE DAY AS BETTER MIXING DEVELOPS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER DUE MOSTLY FROM DAYTIME HEATING. ALOFT A PROGRESSIVE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD FROM THE WEST BY SAT AFTERNOON SHIFTING EAST OF THE CWFA BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND. TO THE SOUTH DEEP LAYERED MOISTURE OFFSHORE WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT NORTH WITH INCREASED ISENTROPIC LIFT OR OVERRUNNING OVER MOST OF THE LOWER HALF OF THE CWFA BY MID TO LATE SAT AFTERNOON...THUS GENERATING SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THESE AREAS BY AFTERNOON POSSIBLY HEAVY AT TIMES NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST BY LATE AFTERNOON. AS FOR TEMPS WILL LEAN TOWARDS THE WARMER MAV GUIDANCE OVERNIGHT AND DURING THE DAY ON SAT ADJUSTING SLIGHTLY FOR CONSISTENCY WITH SURROUNDING WFOS. LOWS SAT WILL FALL TO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S WELL TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST AND THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S FOR ALL OTHER AREAS INCLUDING THE IMMEDIATE COAST. 32/EE .LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY MORNING WILL RAPIDLY MOVE EAST...ALLOWING THE STALLED FRONT OVER THE NORTHERN GULF TO RETURN NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING GULF MOISTURE BACK INTO THE AREA WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES CLIMBING TO 1.7 INCHES. MEANWHILE AN UPPER LOW ACROSS TEXAS WILL OPEN UP AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST THROUGH MIDWEEK. A NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE PHASES WITH THE EJECTING UPPER LOW AND SENDS A COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA TUESDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE AREA AS SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW CONTINUES. THE STALLED FRONT COMBINED WITH SEVERAL UPPER DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER FLOW WILL MAINTAIN SCATTERED TO OCCASIONALLY NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THURSDAY. THE GLOBAL MODELS AGREE ON A STRONGER TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE AREA LATE NEXT WEEK WHICH FINALLY SWEEPS THE MOIST AIR EAST OF THE AREA AND BRINGS IN A DRIER AIRMASS. /13 && .AVIATION... 10.18Z ISSUANCE...MVFR TO IFR CIGS THROUGH 11.06Z FOLLOWED BY IFR TO LIFR CIGS AND VISIBILITIES THROUGH ABOUT 11.14Z THEN IFR TO MVFR CIGS THROUGH 11.18Z. LOWER CEILINGS WILL BE MOSTLY IN AND AROUND NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING FORMING AHEAD OF A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. VARIABLE WIND GUSTS GENERALLY FROM 30 TO 55 KNOTS WILL ACCOMPANY MOST OF THE STRONGER STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WITH MAYBE A FEW ISOLATED CASES OF WINDS POSSIBLY UP TO 60 KNOTS OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER. OTHERWISE...WINDS WILL BE MOSTLY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AT 8 TO 12 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING SHIFTING NORTH TO NORTHEAST IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT LATE THIS EVENING CONTINUING THROUGH 11.18Z. 32/EE && .MARINE...A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE SOUTH OVER THE MARINE AREA LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED AS THE FRONT NEARS THE GULF CONTINUING THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEKEND AS THE FRONT STALLS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF ON SATURDAY THEN RETREATS NORTHWARD AND DISSIPATES. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE HIGHER IN AND AROUND THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SATURDAY. A LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTHEAST FLOW CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT EARLY SATURDAY SHIFTING EAST THEN SOUTHEAST LATE SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. A LIGHT TO MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH MIDWEEK. 32/EE && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
