Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 16 storm reports to this flash flood warning; the first came 4 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 nearest sounding before it

Slidell Radar S, LA (KSIL), launched 12:00Z, 7.1 hours before the alert went out and 163 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 flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jun 19, 1:05 PM CDT, 1 hour earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 1:05 PM CDT, 1 hour before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
105 PM CDT Mon Jun 19 2023

...New AVIATION, NEAR TERM...

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 103 PM CDT Mon Jun 19 2023

General VFR conditions were noted across most of the forecast
area at 17z, with the exception of low MVFR conditions in showers
and thunderstorms stretching across southern Mobile and Baldwin
counties and near coastal areas. Am expecting this convection to
continue into the afternoon hours, with additional showers and
thunderstorms forming over the area at this time. Local drop to
low end MVFR conditions are expected in the stronger storms. South
winds 10 to 15 knots are expected through the afternoon, with
stronger winds likely near the thunderstorms. A cool front will
move south across the area tonight, bringing drier northerly air
and VFR conditions.
/16
&&

.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Tuesday)
Issued at 103 PM CDT Mon Jun 19 2023

Looking at the big picture, an upper low organizes over Kentucky
today, then pushes south. A weakly organized surface low
associated with the upper low moves south from Tennessee to over
the Southeast Tuesday, with a cold front moving southeast across
the forecast area tonight through Tuesday. The soupy airmass over
the forecast area pushes south of the coast tonight into Tuesday,
with a significant downturn in rain chances for tonight and
Tuesday for land portion of the forecast area. Along and south of
the coast is another story, with the cold front stalling along or
just south of the coast.

For this afternoon, the area of showers and thunderstorms over
southern Baldwin and Mobile counties are expected to hang tough the
next few hours, with this area on the eastern end of a tongue of
MLCapes rising to around 4500J/kg, along with effective Bulk Wind
Shear values of 40-50kts. As the afternoon progresses and cloud
debris from this morning's convection moves off, am expecting
the airmass to destabilize forecast area-wide. Upper support has
moved off, though with wind shear value north of the coast in the 30-
40kts range, organized convection is possible. Add in DCapes in the
1000-1300J/kg range, damaging downbursts are likely. Steeper mid
level lapse rates have shifted south to along and south of the
coast, though small hail remains possible, especially with the
stronger storms. Tornadoes remain possible this afternoon,
especially near left-over boundaries from the convection earlier.
Water issues also remain possible, especially south of I-65.

Temperatures this afternoon are going to be governed by the cloud
cover and this afternoon's heating. Mid to upper 80s are expected
east of a Butler to Crestview line with cloud debris and rain
cooling from the this morning helping to limit heating, upper 80s
to mid 90s west. Tonight as the cooler and drier air moves south
across the area, upper 60s along and north of highway 84 are
expected. with around 70 to low 70s south. Tuesday, the drier
airmass and mostly sunny skies will allow temperatures to rise into
the around 90 to low 90s.

With a large tidal range and swell from the general southerly flow
on the coast, the risk of Rip Currents remains High through mid
week.

0430 PM     Tornado          4 NNE Elsanor           30.60N 87.55W
06/17/2023                   Baldwin            AL   NWS Storm Survey

            A miniature supercell produced a weak
            tornado northeast of Elsanor on the evening
            of 6/17/2023. After analyzing storm chaser
            footage and radar data along with damage
            reports it was determined the tornado began
            around 430 PM CDT just north of I-10 west of
            County Road 87 and tracked southeast across
            I-10 near the intersection of County Road
            87. It was here where there were reports of
            some snapped off tree limbs. The rest of the
            evolution of the tornado is unique as it
            slowed and stalled for a brief period over
            forest to the north of Timber Company Road
            before occluding to the northeast, crossing
            I-10 near mile marker 59. This is where
            additional tree damage was observed and
            lines up well with the radar couplet. It is
            possible the tornado became stronger after
            crossing I-10 for the second time as the
            rotational velocity increased notably,
            however this area to the north of I-10 is
            primarily forest and limited road access.
            Thus, the end point of the tornado is being
            estimated by the weakening of the radar
            velocity couplet and the reports from storm
            chasers.
