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.

NWS Aberdeen, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 22, 3:20 AM CDT, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR CENTRAL/N-EAST SD AND W-CENTRAL MN
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ABERDEEN SD
320 AM CDT SAT JUN 22 2002

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD. A FEW WEAK STORMS HAD DEVELOPED IN THE FAR SOUTHERN
CWA AS OF 08Z...WHICH APPEAR TO BE RIGHT ALONG THE WARM FRONT. THIS
IS ALSO RIGHT ALONG THE +12 700MB TEMP LINE...WHICH MAY BE WHY THEY
DO NOT SEEM TO BE DOING MUCH AT THIS TIME. WILL GO AHEAD AND MENTION
SOME EARLY MORNING THUNDER IN THE SOUTHERN ZONE GROUPING...BUT DO
NOT EXPECT THEM TO MAKE IT MUCH FARTHER NORTH AS THE CAP BEGINS TO
INCREASE DURING THE DAY. THIS CAP THEN BECOMES PRETTY STRONG OVER
MOST OF THE CWA (+12 OR HIGHER) THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THE EXCEPTION
WILL BE THE FAR NORTHWEST WHERE THE CAP BEGINS TO WEAKEN AHEAD OF AN
UPPER WAVE MOVING INTO THE REGION LATER TONIGHT. WILL GO WITH A
SMALL POP IN THAT AREA FOR TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...BUT NO POPS ANYWHERE
ELSE UNTIL SUNDAY NIGHT WHEN THE WAVE PUSHES FAR ENOUGH EAST TO
ALLOW THE CAP TO WEAKEN OVER THE REST OF THE CWA. AN UPPER LEVEL
HIGH BEGINS TO PUSH NORTHWARD FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS ON
MONDAY...WITH A WEAK SURFACE PATTERN SETTING UP. NO SIGNIFICANT
ENERGY OR SURFACE FEATURE AROUND...SO WILL KEEP DRY. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE WARM TODAY AS H85 TEMPS RISE ABOVE 20 DEGREES ALL
AREAS...ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE AN ABUNDANCE OF CLOUDS AROUND AS
WELL. WILL STICK CLOSE TO MET GUIDANCE. THE REST OF THE WEEKEND WILL
BE WARM AS WELL...BUT TODAY SHOULD BE THE WARMEST. NO CHANGES MADE
TO THE EXTENDED ATTM.

.ABR...NONE
