The radar

The Ft Rucker radar (KEOX), 73 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 18:12 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

Peachtre/Fal Fld, GA (KFFC), launched 12:00Z, 6.2 hours before the alert went out and 158 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 Birmingham, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 6, 12:38 PM CDT, 34 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 12:38 PM CDT, 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
1238 PM CDT WED JUL 6 2016

.UPDATE...
For 18Z Aviation forecast.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

After taking a look at this morning's KBMX 12z RAOB, we've added
in a chance of isolated severe storms across all of Central
Alabama. Modifying the sounding to today's forecast highs, over
3000 J/KG of CAPE was being advertised, along with very high low-
level lapse rates. With a bit of dry air aloft and PWATS of 1.87
inches, the threat of microbursts is higher today. Also, 500MB
temperatures are cooler (-8.5 C today as opposed to -6C
yesterday). That would also support the chance of at least quarter
size hail within stronger storms as well. Overall bulk shear today
is lower than observed yesterday, so pulse storms are certainly in
the cards.

Looking off to our north and west, we've got two features to keep
an eye on for this evening's weather. The first is the MCS over
northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, and the next is the
outflow boundary quickly moving southward out of the Ohio River
Valley. As flow aloft becomes more northwesterly with time, we may
have to deal with what's left over from those storms, at least
across our far northeast counties later this evening.

56/GDG

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF Discussion.

For TCL-BHM-EET-ANB-ASN, cloud heights and coverage should
average in the VFR category, with the primary transient element
being a chance for a nearby shower, perhaps a storm this afternoon.
Surface winds will be ~west-southwesterly around 5-10 knots.

Farther south, indications point toward a better chance for
showers and thunderstorms. SHRA and VCTS have been maintained for
MGM-TOI this afternoon, and a TEMPO group was also included from
18Z-20Z as radar shows storms inbound. West-southwesterly surface
winds are expected here as well, at about 5-10 knots with a few
higher gusts in/near storms.

At this time, it looks like the presence of showers and
thunderstorms will wane heading into the evening hours area-wide.
We'll keep an eye out for a few regional elements that could still
generate a few isolated cells tonight.

Lastly, forecast models are suggesting potential for some areas
of low clouds and/or fog overnight. I'll let upcoming TAF cycles
determine the need for introduction.
