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 NEW ORLEANS/BATON ROUGE LA
315 PM CDT SUN JUN 16 2002

IN THE SHORT-TERM...THE AERA OF RAINSHOWERS AND SPOTTY THUNDER IS
BECOMING VICTIMIZED BY THE DRIER AIR THAT WAS OVER OUR AREA THIS
MORNING. THE TRIGGERING FEATURE HAS BECOME RATHER WEAK AND
OVERPLAYED BY ALL THE MODELS. THE AVN RUNS FROM YESTERDAY HAD THE
BETTER TIMING. MOST OF THE RAINFALL IS BEGINNING TO FALL APART
EXCEPT FOR NEWLY FORMED CONVECTION IN THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR CWA
WHICH SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY 7 PM. PLAN ON CONCEDING THE
ONGOING RAINFALL TO THE DAYTIME PACKAGE AND GO WITH A MORE
OPTIMISTIC FORECAST FOR TONIGHT.

BEYOND TONIGHT...AGREE WITH DRYING THAT THE AVN SHOWS AS WELL AS
DEEP LAYERED NORTHERLY FLOW. THIS WILL PROVIDE A BRIEF HIATUS FROM
THE TYPICAL SEA BREEZE REGIME. MAY SEE AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TWO
TOMORROW AFTERNOON IN THE METRO NEW ORLEANS AREA DUE TO LAKE BREEZE
CONVERGENCE. BY TUESDAY A SLOW RECOVERY TO ONSHORE FLOW.

IN THE EXTENDED...MODELS ARE SHOWING A STRENGTHENING BERMUDA RIDGE
BUILDING INTO THE EASTERN U.S. THIS WILL PLACE A DEEP TROPICAL FETCH
INTO OUR CWA FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND. PLAN
TO MAINTAIN SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY BEYOND WEDNESDAY.
