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

Slidell Radar S, LA (KSIL), launched 12:00Z, 10.6 hours before the alert went out and 100 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, Jun 21, 3:45 PM CDT, 1 hour 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
345 PM CDT SUN JUN 21 2015

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...UPPER RIDGING ACROSS THE AREA
WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN SOME AND SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH MONDAY AS A
SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. THIS IS EVIDENCED BY
INCREASED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ON RADAR THIS AFTERNOON.
AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH
DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT IN ADDITIONS TO FREQUENT LIGHTNING
AND VERY HEAVY RAIN. THE WET MICROBURST RISK REMAINS HIGH. THE
STORMS WILL DISSIPATE THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING. VERY
MUGGY CONDITIONS CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 70S
INLAND TO AROUND 80 ALONG THE COAST. THE AREA WILL BE BETWEEN A
BUILDING UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST AND THE WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE ON
MONDAY. THIS COMBINED WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2 INCHES
AND HIGHS IN THE MID/UPPER 90S WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE STRONG IN THE
AFTERNOON HOURS WITH GUSTY WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN. /13

THIS AFTERNOON'S WET MICROBURST RISK IS HIGH

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...THE FORECAST AREA WAFFLES FROM
BEING PRIMARILY UNDER THE NEUTRAL POINT OR COL AREA BETWEEN A STRONG
RIDGE TO THE EAST CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN ATLANTIC AND ANOTHER
OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH PERHAPS
TUESDAY TO FALLING UNDER THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE RIDGE TO THE WEST.
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BLANKET THE AREA WITH PWATS
CLIMBING TO AROUND 2.O INCHES DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO TREND A LITTLE WARMER THEN CLIMATOLOGICAL
NORMS. DAY TIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S.
EXPECT A SEA BREEZE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST EACH AFTERNOON
TRIGGERING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION INTO THE EARLY EVENING AS
IT PUSHES NORTHWARD. ISOLATED CONVECTION IS ALSO POSSIBLE OVER THE
MARINE AREA OVERNIGHT AS A LAND BREEZE AIDED BY THE WEAK NWLY FLOW
ALOFT DEVELOPS LATE EACH NIGHT AND PUSHES SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GULF
WATERS. /08 JW

.LONG TERM...[FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY]...PERHAPS A LITTLE RELIEF IN THE
TEMPERATURES ARRIVES BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. SPECTRAL MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW THE TWO HIGH PRESSURE RIDGES ON EITHER SIDE OF US
GETTING DEPRESSED TO THE SOUTH AS A LONGWAVE TROUGH DEVELOPS OVERHEAD
WITH OUR REGION ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY. ONLY MINOR SHORTWAVE
TROUGH ENERGY IS CURRENTLY PROJECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND SO DON'T EXPECT ANY WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE OUTBREAKS. MORE
LIKELY WELL SEE A SLIGHT UP TICK IN THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION...AND
AGAIN SLIGHTLY COOLER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES. /08 JW

&&

.AVIATION...18Z ISSUANCE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MOST
OF THE PERIOD. A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CONDITIONS IS POSSIBLE IN AND
AROUND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE
AFTERNOON. /13

&&

.MARINE....A BROAD RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS POSITIONED OVER
THE GULF THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. A LIGHT TO MODERATE AND
MAINLY SOUTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD WITH
LITTLE CHANGE IN SEAS. STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP LOOK TO BE ISOLATED IN
COVERAGE.
