Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 2 storm reports to this tornado warning; the first came 39 minutes after it went out.

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 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 Birmingham, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Mar 14, 6:53 PM CDT, 49 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
653 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2019

.UPDATE...
Evening Update and 00Z Aviation.

&&

.SHORT TERM...

Supercell thunderstorms continue across Central Alabama. A few of
these storms have radar confirmed tornadoes. Slow eastward
movement is anticipated the next few hours. Additionally, as the
sun sets, LCL heights will lower and become more conducive to
tornadoes. Coverage of these storms will not be overwhelming, but
the storms that are there will have the potential of producing
large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes. A new Tornado Watch is
currently going out with areas from Wadley to Wetumpka to
Hayneville. A few counties on the back side of the original watch
will be trimmed.

75

Previous short-term discussion:
Broken line of supercellular activity was located from northern
Blount County, to near Tuscaloosa, to near Livingston. SBCAPE
values in the 1000-1500 and similar values for MLCAPES. Supercell
composite was modest with Bulk Shear values 50-55kts. This is more
than enough for organized severe thunderstorms. LCL heights are
750-1000m, which is a tad high for tornado genesis, but not out of
the question. Storms certainly are rotating and interacting
boundaries may help generate some tornadoes. Additionally, DCAPE
is around 1000 with CAPE in the hail growth region of near 700.
Therefore, damaging winds and large hail also remain in the table.
Have expanded the Tornado Watch eastward a few counties and expect
the threat to remain for several more hours as the higher winds
overspread the warm sector.

Did not cancel all of the western counties just yet. This is due
to SBCAPE values still high enough for storms. Additionally, some
left movers are possible.

75

Previous short-term discussion:
Showers and a few thunderstorms are moving into our far northwest
counties at this time with potential for some severe thunderstorms
containing a risk for winds, hail and a few tornadoes.

Sufficient wind shear exists across our western and northern
counties for severe thunderstorms and the risk of tornadoes this
afternoon and evening. Sufficient instability is more confined to
our western counties at this point but is expected to expand
further east into the central portion of our forecast area later
this afternoon and evening.

BMX 14/18z sounding continues to indicate a cap in the 800-700 mb
layer but surface temperatures have warmed enough to result in
some positive buoyancy that is able to overcome the warm layer
aloft. This along with increased forcing is allowing showers to
increase in coverage across our western counties.

The risk for thunderstorms, some strong to severe, will persist
through the rest of the afternoon across our northwest and west-
central counties then the risk shifts eastward toward the I-65
corridor from late afternoon through early evening. The best
combination of wind shear along with instability will reside
generally near and north of the I-20 corridor.

Instability is expected to wane through the evening across our
eastern counties as dynamics pull northeast into the Tennessee
River Valley tonight. As a result the severe storm potential
gradually decreases this evening and into the overnight hours.

Shower and thunderstorm activity will continue, however, as this
system slides east across the entire area this afternoon and
tonight followed by cold air advection becoming dominant from west
to east tonight and into Friday. Lows will range from the mid 40's
northwest to the mid 60's overnight while highs Friday will
struggle to reach the low 60's across much of our forecast area
with exception being our far southeast counties where highs will
manage to reach near 70.

Dry conditions are forecast Friday night and into the day
Saturday with lows ranging from mid 30's northwest to the mid 40's
southeast. Highs will range from the mid 50's northwest to the
low 60's southeast.

05

.LONG TERM...
Friday through Wednesday.

By Friday morning the surface cold front has cleared our southeast
counties. Have kept the mention of chance and likely post frontal
PoPs generally along and south of the I-59 corridor as low and mid
level RH values remain nearly saturated and forcing is maintained in
the upper levels. Rain chances gradually decrease from northwest to
southeast throughout the day Friday. Noticeably cooler temperatures
are expected Friday night as northerly winds advect cooler air into
the area. Cloud cover and elevated winds should prevent frost in our
far northern counties Friday evening.

A less active and quieter weather is expected for the latter part of
the weekend into much of next week. By Saturday, upper level
troughing has pushed towards the east coast, while split flow begins
to dominate the west coast. Subsidence and confluent flow
characterize the upper levels, while the surface is dominated by
high pressure. For much of this period, conditions will be drier
and cooler for Central Alabama. High temperatures will generally
be in the 50's and 60's. Low temperatures ranging from the upper
30's to 40's. The exception will be for Saturday night as low
temperatures in our northern counties will be in the low 30's.
Clear skies and calm to light surface winds could allow for patchy
frost to develop in our far northern counties Saturday night.
Will continue to monitor the potential for frost through the
remainder of the period as moisture associated with upper level
waves of energy and surface wind speed could impact development.

07

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF Discussion.

A prefrontal trough with showers/storms will move eastward the
next few hours and affect several of the terminals. The cold
front lags back to the west into Mississippi. So a shower remains
possible behind this main supercell storms. An area behind the
storms has the potential to drop ceilings into MVFR range and held
the ceilings through around 06z north and 12z. The VFR ceilings
and winds continuing to veer toward westerly.

75

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon, becoming
more widespread during the late afternoon and evening. A few
strong to severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening
especially west of Interstate 59. Winds will be gusty now through
this evening. However, with high relative humidity and saturated
soil conditions, there are no fire weather concerns expected at
this time. Rain lingers into Friday. Dry conditions are expected
for the weekend on through the beginning of next week.
