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, 11.5 hours before the alert went out and 140 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 National Weather Service Mobile AL 237 PM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026 ...New DISCUSSION, MARINE... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 234 PM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026 - Strong storms are possible this afternoon with gusty downburst winds being the main threat. - Moderate risk of rip currents Tuesday and Wednesday for coastal Alabama and northwest Florida beaches. - Peak heat index increases to around 105-107 this afternoon with the Heat Risk remaining in the Moderate to Major category. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 234 PM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026 Storms are finally beginning to develop inland as of 19Z after convection lingered along the coastline throughout the morning hours. This afternoon will have another round of scattered storms dropping in from the north featuring ample instability, minimal/non- existent shear, and ample dry air aloft. Some strong storms are possible late this afternoon into the early evening hours with the predominant threat being gusty downburst winds given the dry air aloft noted in the soundings. Convection should steadily wane after sunset, although a few storms may linger into the late evening hours. As we head into the overnight hours and tomorrow, the ridge aloft nudges deeper into the Southeast. This pattern shift will allow our dry-ish northerly flow aloft to turn easterly through mid-week. Flow aloft turns onshore on Thursday as the ridge gets flattened by a trough pivoting into the East Coast. Meanwhile, a parade of subtle shortwaves pivot across the region throughout the week in this pattern, which will lead to a somewhat higher coverage in showers and storms each afternoon in the middle to latter half of the week. This slightly more active diurnal convective pattern will keep daytime highs in check with no extreme heat concerns through the remainder of the week. Beach Forecast - LOW rip current risk continues through tonight before increasing to a MODERATE risk tomorrow through Wednesday for coastal Alabama and northwest Florida beaches. The risk falls to LOW for the remainder of the week. 07/mb && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1238 PM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026 VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast outside of scattered afternoon and evening SHRA/TSRA activity inland areas. Gusty winds and LIFR/IFR visibilities will accompany some of the stronger storms. /22 && .MARINE... Issued at 234 PM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026 Waterspouts are possible in the morning hours over the next several days. No other significant impacts are expected other than locally higher winds and seas possible near thunderstorms. 07/mb && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
