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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
245 PM CDT MON AUG 26 2002

A CONCERN FOR THE SHORT RANGE IS THE CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WITH LARGE HAIL TONIGHT. AN INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE OVER
THE REGION TONIGHT WITH WARM ADVECTION LIFT IN LOWER LAYERS. LOW
PRESSURE ALOFT CENTERED IN SOUTHWEST SASKATCHEWAN WILL RESULT IN
SOUTHWEST FLOW PLUS A SHORT WAVE ENTERING SOUTH CENTRAL ND THIS
EVENING. ALSO...THE RESULTANT SHEAR SUGGESTS CHANCE OF ORGANIZED
CONVECTION.

A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY AS THE SURFACE TROUGH
PERSISTS WITH WEAKENING FLOW ALOFT. THEN...A DRY RESPITE IS LIKELY
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER FLOW SPLITS AND A SURFACE
HIGH BRINGS WEAK COLD ADVECTION.

FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD...THE AVN MODEL SHOWS A RETURN TO SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT WITH TRAINING SHORT WAVES...PLUS INCREASING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE. THE MRF CONTINUES THE UPPER SOUTHWEST FLOW INTO THE WEEKEND
AS A TROUGH DIGS ON THE PACIFIC COAST. THIS MOIST PATTERN MAY
FINALLY BREAK LATE MONDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH ROTATES EAST THROUGH
CANADA.

.BIS...NONE.
