The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

NCEI Storm Data entries that began inside the alert's area while it was in force. Before 2003 the local storm report archive is thin, so this is the record of what happened rather than what was phoned in.

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.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1201 PM EDT SAT JUN 1 2002

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE IN EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA INDICATES THAT A
SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS ACROSS ALL OF EASTERN
KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL...BUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS ALSO POSSIBLE.

A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOCATED ALONG THE OHIO RIVER WILL
SERVE AS THE SPAWNING GROUNDS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON. THESE WILL THEN DRIFT SOUTHEAST AND A FEW STORMS COULD
BECOME SEVERE THANKS TO PLENTY OF MOISTURE...INSTABILITY AND FAIRLY
STRONG WINDS ALOFT.

RESIDENTS OF EASTERN KENTUCKY SHOULD STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO
AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR UPDATES. SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE
NECESSARY LATER TODAY.
