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.

TJSWhat 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 May 28, 3:57 PM CDT, 1 hour 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 28, 3:57 PM CDT, 1 hour 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL Issued by National Weather Service New Orleans LA 357 PM CDT Wed May 28 2025 ...New Discussion, Marine... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 240 PM CDT Wed May 28 2025 Seabreeze convection, right on schedule per the CAM guidance, will continue to increase in coverage through the remainder of the afternoon and into this evening across the CWA. Although the shear will be limited initially, the thermodynamic profile with MLCAPEs around 3000 J/kg and DCAPEs around 1300 J/kg will mean the potential for a few strong to possibly severe storms this afternoon and evening, mainly due to strong downburst winds. Thus the recently issued severe thunderstorm watch 344 for the MS counties until 02Z this evening. Further west of the CWA, a more organized cluster of strong/severe storms will continue to take shape this afternoon/evening. This developing MCS is in association with a shortwave/vort max moving northeastward through the Northwest Gulf and SE TX/SW LA. The net result will be increasing rain chances as early as 02Z this evening as this entire cluster pushes eastward into the CWA overnight. Primary threats will remain from gusty winds as storms become even more outflow-dominant along with the potential for locally heavy rain. A respite from convection would appear likely by sunrise Thursday as the main outflow shifts south and east of the CWA. However, another even stronger shortwave is expected to affect the CWA and allow convection to regenerate on Thursday. So even with a more stable airmass, the dynamical forcing should be enough to overcome this and regenerate at least scattered to numerous convection on Thursday. The potential for strong to possibly severe storms will exist again on Thursday but probably not as high as this afternoon and tonight given the uncertainty of the extent of how much the airmass will be worked over. Another longer convective respite is expected by Thursday night as more subsident and drier conditions are expected to overspread the area from west to east in the wake of this strong shortwave. The last round of convection is expected to occur along and ahead of a late season cold front which is expected to pass through the CWA by Friday afternoon/evening. Looking like at least a broken line of storms with some potential for strong storms given the modest to high instability. A chamber of commerce weekend is in store as dewpoints drop into the 60s with even some upper 50 dewpoints in the northern CWA. This will translate into overnight lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s for most areas away from the coast over the weekend. Daytime highs will be in the lower to mid 80s. A gradual warming and moistening trend is expected next week as return flow reestablishes itself with the surface high pressure quickly departing eastward. Moisture will remain too shallow to support rain chances until Wednesday. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1201 PM CDT Wed May 28 2025 Mainly VFR conditions will persist through this evening for most of the TAF sites. Isolated to scattered seabreeze convection is expected to develop by 20-21Z this afternoon mainly to the north of the TAF sites. However, a few storms may get close to KMOB during the 21-00z timeframe. The better rain chances are not expected until around midnight through Thursday morning as a shortwave and associated MCS will likely impact the area from west to east. Gusty winds, heavy rain, and frequent lightning will be the primary impacts through sunrise Thursday. A respite from rain chances will likely occur after sunrise Thursday as the weakening MCS pushes east and south of the TAF sites. Will account for this convective scenario with the upcoming TAFs. IFR/MVFR conditions will be likely during the midnight to around 12Z Thursday timeframe due to this MCS affecting the area. Improving conditions, likely VFR, will be the rule throughout the morning on Thursday once the main rain shield passes. && .MARINE... Issued at 240 PM CDT Wed May 28 2025 Gradient mostly south/southwest flow with 1-2 feet seas will prevail through Thursday across the coastal waters. The flow will continue to veer and increase to a more westerly direction ahead of the next cold front on Friday. An offshore flow will occur behind the front by Friday night and persist into Saturday night. Seas will reach around 3 feet by Friday and Saturday due to the stronger gradient. Onshore flow will resume by late Sunday and persist into next week. No SCAs are expected through the period. Convection will be numerous to widespread tonight through Friday evening given the aforementioned shortwaves mentioned above. Dry conditions are expected over the weekend and into Tuesday of next week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
