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

Bismarck Municip, ND (KBIS), launched 00:00Z, 5.5 hours before the alert went out and 218 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Bismarck, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 6, 2:10 PM CDT, 10 hours 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 2:10 PM CDT, 10 hours 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
210 PM CDT MON JUN 6 2005

.SHORT TERM...
MAIN CONCERN IS SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOODING TONIGHT. LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE IS STREAMING INTO THE REGION AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING SURFACE
LOW. CAPES WILL BE RISING THIS AFTERNOON AND A LOW LEVEL JET WILL
MOVE INTO THE STATE THIS EVENING. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO BEGIN IN
THE FAR WEST BEFORE SUNSET.  NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST NORTH
DAKOTA HAS THE HIGHEST RISK OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING.  THE ETA AND
GFS MODELS SHOW MAXIMUM CONVERGENCE AND THE MOST QPF JUST NORTH OF A
SURFACE LOW CENTER. THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO
TUESDAY FOR CENTRAL ND. SHORT WAVES WILL COMBINE WITH A LINGERING
SURFACE LOW TO MAINTAIN A POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THEN A
PERSISTENT  SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL MAINTAIN A GOOD CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM...
FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED
FORECAST PACKAGE AS INHERITED FORECAST LOOKING GOOD. LATEST GFS80
SOLUTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AN UPPER LOW OVER MT ON SUNDAY. THIS
WILL BRING THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION SATURDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING AS THE NORTHERN PLAINS FALLS UNDER VERY
GOOD UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND DECENT MOISTURE ADVECTION.

&&

.BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
...FLASH FLOOD WATCH NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL ND FROM 9 PM CDT
THIS EVENING TO 6 AM CDT TUESDAY MORNING...
