Narrative:
Training on the radar assist position. Approach called for a manual hand-off on aircraft X. Radar controller provided radar and weather advisories to aircraft X and advised the pilot of the severe weather toward the intended destination. Radar controller advised pilot of surrounding airport weather and advised landing at an alternate airport. Approach called back to advise me of the alternate airport weather. I told the radar controller the information and the controller relayed that to the pilot.after numerous course and altitude changes the pilot said he wanted to get the aircraft on the ground and elected to land at an alternate airport. Radar controller provided bearing; distance and weather information to the pilot until the pilot reported the airport in sight. The radar controller then asked him if he could call to make sure everything went okay and terminated the radar services. We informed the front line manager of the area of all the information we had. The front line manager started a search for airport and contact information to ensure the pilot was able to land safety. We were able to get a hold of the pilot and that's when we were informed the aircraft had landed long and went off the end of the runway.
