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...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
950 PM MDT WED JUN 12 2002

LATEST ANALYSIS HAS AXIS OF 55 TO 60 DEGREE DEWPOINTS STRETCHING
FROM KLIC-KITR-KHYS WITH READINGS IN THE 30S AND 40S TO OUR NORTH.
OUTFLOW FROM NEBRASKA CONVECTION WAS MOVING SOUTHWEST TOWARD THE
AREA WITH READINGS INCREASING BACK INTO THE 50S. OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
ALL OVER THE PLACE AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ATTEMPT AN UPDATE WITH
CONVECTION STILL DEVELOPING TO THE WEST MOVING EAST.

18Z AVN HAD 03-06Z PRECIP PLACEMENT BEST WHEN COMPARED TO MOSAIC
RADAR IMAGERY. TAKEN THE 18Z AVN FOR THE UPDATE...IT WOULD AGREE
WITH RUC/ETA TRENDS OF KEEPING THE 850 THTE-E AXIS/CAPE AXIS OVER
THE SOUTHERN CWA WHERE FURTHER PRECIP IS POSSIBLE. OVER THE NORTHERN
AND CENTRAL CWA CHANCES OF PRECIP WOULD DECREASE.

SO FOR THE UPDATE...LOWERED POPS A BIT ACROSS THE AREA AND REMOVED
THEM FROM THE FAR NORTHERN ZONES. ALSO UPDATED SKY COVER TO REMOVE
BECOMING WORDINGS. WINDS AND TEMPS LOOKED ALRIGHT SO NO CHANGES
THERE.

.GLD...NONE.
