Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
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, Jul 3, 2:17 PM MDT, 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 217 PM MDT SUN JUL 3 2005 .DISCUSSION...FORECAST CONCERNS INCLUDE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION THROUGH MIDWEEK ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES. 18Z SURFACE MAP ANALYSIS SHOWED A COLD FRONT EXTENDING ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA INTO NORTHERN KANSAS AND THEN WEST TO NEAR GOODLAND AND INTO NORTHEAST COLORADO. THE FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH. A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WAS LOCATED OVER SOUTHWEST KANSAS. A DRYLINE WAS SEEN ON LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS OVER EASTERN COLORADO FROM NEAR AKRON TO FLAGLER COLORADO. IR AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER WESTERN COLORADO MOVING EASTWARD WHILE A STRONGE VORT MAX WAS MOVING EASTWARD ALONG THE NORTH DAKOTA AND CANADIAN BORDER. A DRYLINE WAS SEEN ON LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS OVER EASTERN COLORADO FROM NEAR AKRON TO FLAGLER COLORADO. MORNING CONVECTION HAD MOVED EASTWARD OUT OF OUR FORECAST AREA WHILE THE NEXT ROUND OF CONVECTION WAS MOVING OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF COLORADO. MODELS INITIALIZED WELL TODAY WITH POSITION OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY AS WELL AS WITH UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVES MOVING EASTWARD IN UPPER FLOW. FOR TONIGHT EXPECT CONVECTION TO CONTINUE AT LEAST INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH. MODERATE INSTABILITY FROM AFTERNOON SUN AS WELL AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL WORK WITH THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE AS WELL AS THE NEARBY FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO CONTINUE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION. WILL MENTION THAT SOME STORMS MAY BE SEVERE AT LEAST DURING THE EVENING. WILL EXPECT MOST OF THE CONVECTION TO END BY AROUND MIDNIGHT BUT WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS FOR OUR EASTERN ZONES INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD IN THE 60S. FOR TOMORROW EAST TO SOUTHEAST SURFACE WINDS WILL OCCUR CONTINUING TO BRINGING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. SHOULD SEE A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE DURING THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL HELP TO PROMOTE INSTABILITY FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS MODELS SHOW ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING EASTWARD THROUGH THE REGION BY LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL HELP PROMOTE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION AGAIN. HAVE NOT MADE A GREAT DEAL OF CHANGE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES. EXPECT SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES THAN PREVIOUS DAYS IN THE 80S. WE WILL BE NORTH OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG WITH UPSLOPE EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A REPEAT OF THE WEATHER PATTERN ON TUESDAY AS WELL AS WEDNESDAY WITH AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH LATE IN THE DAY AND EVENING BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT TO CONTINUE CHANCE POPS FOR CONVECTION. EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY TO WARM A BIT INTO THE LOW TO MIDDLE 90S. MODELS DO SHOW THE START OF THE BUILDING UPPER RIDGE INTO THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY. THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD FOR THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY LOOKS DRY WITH SEASONAL TEMPERATURES AS STRONG 500 MB UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S WITH OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .KS...NONE. .NE...NONE. .CO...NONE. && LAMMERS
