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 SPOKANE WASHINGTON
1026 AM PDT MON JUL 19 2004

.SYNOPSIS...A VERY MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST TODAY. A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INLAND OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA TONIGHT...
CHANGING THE FLOW TO MORE WESTERLY FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
ANOTHER STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN BY THE END
OF THE WEEK AND IT WILL LAST THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...ANOTHER UPDATE TO THE FORECAST TO HANDLE THIS
AFTERNOON.  HAVE RAISED POPS FOR THE NORTHERN/EASTERN MOUNTAIN
ZONES GIVEN THE CURRENT RADAR AS WELL AS THE ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND
THE SUNSHINE TO HELP PRIME THE ATMOSPHERE.  12Z ETA SHOWS CAPES OF
1000-1500 J/KG IN THE PANHANDLE WITH LITTLE ON INHIBITION.

FOR TONIGHT MODELS ARE SHOWING THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE PRECIPITATION
IN THE PANHANDLE AND SE WASHINGTON.  THIS WOULD BE FROM A VORT MAX
ON THE TAIL END OF THE CLOUD BAND CURRENTLY MOVING ONSHORE IN
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.  DIDNT UPDATE THE FORECAST YET FOR THIS
FEATURE BUT WILL LIKELY INCREASE PRECIP CHANCES ON THE AFTERNOON
PACKAGE.  RJ
