The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
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.
The nearest sounding before it
Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 00:00Z, 2.1 hours before the alert went out and 129 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 9:05 PM CDT, 0 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 905 PM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003 .MESO-SCALE DISCUSSION...CLUSTERS OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO PUSH ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI. ACTIVITY CONTINUED TO BE CONCENTRATED IN THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS REGION...AND HAD ALSO INCREASED ALONG THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR. TORRENTIAL RAINFALL ALONG WITH SOME SEVERE WINDS AND HAIL HAVE ACCOMPANIED THESE STORMS. SERIOUS FLOODING WAS TAKING PLACE IN NEOSHO IN FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. RADAR ESTIMATES OF 2 TO 5 INCHES HAD FALLEN FROM THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS TO JUST NORTH OF ROLLA IN CENTRAL MISSOURI WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS NEAR 7 INCHES IN NORTHERN CAMDEN COUNTY. A DIFFUSE SURFACE BOUNDARY APPEARS TO HAVE BECOME ORIENTED ALONG THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR. CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS ARE LINING UP ALONG THIS BOUNDARY FROM SOUTHERN MISSOURI INTO OKLAHOMA. SERIOUS FLOODING HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED IN NEOSHO IN FAR SOUTHWEST. THUNDERSTORMS MOVING OUT OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA WILL BRING MORE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL TO THIS AREA. UPPER DIVERGENCE AND INCREASING WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE POTENT SHORTWAVE COMING ACROSS OKLAHOMA WILL INTERACT WITH THE SURFACE BOUNDARY TO SUPPORT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE NIGHT. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE BUT FLOODING WILL BECOME THE PRIMARY CONCERN AS STORMS REPEATEDLY MOVE ACROSS THE SAME AREAS. THE STORMS MAY CONGEAL INTO A LINEAR CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. .SGF... .MO...FLOOD WATCH WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT. .KS...FLOOD WATCH WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT. FOSTER
