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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
445 AM MDT THU JUN 20 2002

SUBTLE AND DISTINCT SHORTWAVE IS EVIDENT OVER SOUTHEAST AZ THIS
MORNING. MOVING NE TOWARDS WESTERN NM. IR IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS SOME
MID LEVEL CLOUDS ASSCD WITH THIS FEATURE. ANOTHER HOT DAY IN THE
WEST WITH WINDS JUST BELOW BRZY CATEGORY. POTENTIAL FOR DRY TSTMS
NOW TOO.

SOUTHEASTERLY GRADIENT TO UP AGAINST SANGRES AND SACS TODAY AND
POSSIBLY TO SANDIAS/MANZANOS. WEAK FRONT NEAR NM/CO BORDER AND
OLD OUTFLOWS FROM EVENING CONVECTION IN SE NM AND OVERNIGHT STORMS
IN EASTCENTRAL NM. THESE BOUNDARIES WILL PROVIDE LIFT FOR INITIAL
STORMS. NOT QUITE AS HOT IN THE EAST TODAY DUE TO INCREASED
MOISTURE. FCSTD TEMP FOR TCC TODAY BY LOOKING AT WEST TX TEMPS WEDN
AFTN AND SHAVING OFF A FEW DEGREES TO ACCT FOR SLIGHTLY HIGHER
ELEVATION AND UPSLOPE.

EASTERLY GRADIENT TO CAUSE EAST WINDS IN CENTRAL VALLEYS
TONIGHT...CARRYING MID 40S TO MID 50S DEWPTS INTO THE WEST SIDE.
THOUGHT ABOUT INCREASING POPS TO 30 AT ABQ...HOWEVER WASNT
CONFIDENT ENOUGH ABOUT DEPTH OF MOISTURE AT THIS POINT TO DO THAT.
STILL PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND CHC POPS FOR EAST FRIDAY. STORMS MAY
ONCE AGAIN BE DRY IN THE FAR WEST...AND MAYBE EVEN IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEYS...FRIDAY. THUS THE SCT WORDING WITH ONLY 20 POPS AT ABQ
FRIDAY.

I ALSO WANTED TO PUT STRONGER WINDS IN FMN AND GUP FRIDAY. WILL SEND
A CORRRECTION TO THE ZONES TO DO THAT. EXPECT THE WEST TO MIX AND
DRY OUT SATURDAY. STILL A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE EAST...ESPECIALLY IN
THE FAR EAST IF DRYLINE STAYS WEST OF TX BORDER. SEE NO CHANCE OF
PRECIP IN THE EXTENDED...JUST REALLY HOT. JWS
