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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 2:35 PM MDT, 4 hours 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 235 PM MDT SAT JUN 26 2004 .DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND MODES MAIN CONCERNS. ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER NM TODAY. ACTIVITY OVER NRN MOUNTAINS AND NE PLAINS BEING WATCHED FOR PERSISTENT RAINS OVER AREAS WHICH RECEIVED NOTABLE RAINS LAST FEW DAYS AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 1 INCH FLOW INTO STORMS. BEST INSTABILITY OVER NE PLAINS/NE HIGHLANDS. 19Z LAPS CAPES FROM 1200-2000J/KG...AND 18Z ETA20 INITIALIZED 35-40C K INDICES. ETA20 SHOWS K INDICES TO SPIKE AT 21Z WHILE SFC BASED INSTABILITY PARAMETERS DECREASE RAPIDLY THIS EVENING. THEREFORE FEEL HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING SITUATION MOST PRESSING OVER THE NEXT 3-6 HOURS...WITH A STRAY STORM WITH LARGE HAIL PSBL OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. DO NOT THINK FLOODING SITUATION WILL BE WIDESPREAD OR OVERLY SIGNIFICANT...SO WILL NOT ISSUE FLOOD WATCH. OVER THE SW...PLENTY OF ACTION AS WELL. TEMP/MOISTURE PROFILES INDICATE SOME POSSIBILITY OF STRONG WINDS FROM STORMS...BUT MOST LIKELY NOT SEVERE. MEANWHILE...LOWER MID RIO GRANDE VALLEY SITS DRY IN BETWEEN. HOWEVER STILL A FAIR SHOT OF GETTING SOME RAIN THIS EVENING FROM COLLIDING OUTFLOWS. IN FACT...ETA 20 CONTINUES TO SHOW CONVECTION OVERNIGHT SPAWNED BY SE FETCH OF MOISTURE UP THE VALLEY. THEREFORE HAVE INCLUDED POPS ALL NIGHT IN ABQ METRO AREA...BUT REALLY NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO REST OF PCPN FORECAST TONIGHT. ON SUNDAY...HAVE ADDED MENTION OF DRY T IN FAR WEST AS A MODEST PUNCH OF DRIER AIR INVADES FROM THE WEST AS A RIPPLE TOPS THE UPPER RIDGE OVER SW NM. OVERALL MOISTURE/SHEAR LOOKS BEST NEAR CENTRAL MTN CHAIN...BUT SVR THREAT NOT MUCH BETTER THAN TODAY AS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT BUILDS A BIT OVER CENTRAL NM. MODELS HAVE CONVERGED ON A SOLUTION NOT REALLY BRINGING A COLD FRONT INDUCED NE FLOW INTO THE STATE SUNDAY/MONDAY...ALTHOUGH GFS STILL A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH ESE FLOW. CERTAINLY THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS COULD ENHANCE ANY WINDS ACROSS THE ERN PLAINS AND INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. AT THIS TIME WILL GO WITH A LIGHT SE CANYON WIND SUNDAY NIGHT...WHICH IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY THE MET GUIDANCE. INTO NEXT WEEK...PATTERN CHANGES VERY LITTLE WITH PREDOMINANTLY AFTN/EVE THUNDERSTORMS FORECAST EACH DAY...ESPECIALLY CENTRAL/EAST. PROGS INDICATE THAT UPPER HIGH MAY SHIFT EASTWARD ENOUGH TO ALLOW SPURTS OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TO ENTER THE FRAY BY MIDWEEK. IF THIS PANS OUT...DIURNAL TEMP RANGES MAY NEED TO BE NARROWED A FEW DEGREES...KD && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
