Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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.

  WESTERN SECTIONS. RADAR ESTIMATES THAT 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN FELL

  BACK TO MOUNTAIN HOME. SOME ROADS WERE BEGINNING TO HAVE WATER     
  PONDING ON THEM. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN WILL LIKELY FALL OVER THE

MAY BE TO GREAT FOR SAFE PASSAGE. IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT TWO FEET OF

218 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2005

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT
H5 PATTERN WILL KEEP RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN SECTION OF THE COUNTRY.
A LOW WILL MAKE A RUN AT THE RIDGE ON DAY 4...WITHOUT MAKING
SIGNIFICANT INROADS. THE TROPICAL SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE ITS NORTHWARD
TRACK...BRINGING WITH IT ABUNDANT RAINS MAINLY AHEAD OF AND TO THE
RIGHT OF ITS PATH. THIS WILL KEEP RAINFALL DOWN OVER THE EASTERN
PART OF OUR CWA WHICH NEEDS IT. THERE WILL BE A SURFACE LOW
GATHERING STRENGTH IN THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. ITS IMPACT WILL BE MINIMAL ON OUR WEATHER SINCE ITS SUPPORT
WILL BE TOO FAR NORTH TO PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO THE STATE. IF THERE
IS A FRONTAL PASSAGE...IT WILL BE JUST BARELY INTO THE NORTHWEST
CORNER...RATHER THAN BEING STRONG ENOUGH TO BRING RELIEF TO THE HEAT
AND HUMIDITY IN PLACE OVER THE STATE. TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE A TOUGH
TIME GETTING TOO MUCH PAST THE LOWER 90S IN A RICH TROPICAL
ENVIRONMENT. HIGHS WILL BE PRIMARILY IN THE 80S WITH A FEW 90S IN
THE HOT SPOTS. DEW POINTS WILL DICTATE THE LOWS SO THE MID 60S TO
LOWER 70S WILL BE IN ORDER.
&&

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
AN UPPER LOW WILL TRANSLATE ACROSS THE NORTHERN U.S. DURING THIS
PERIOD AND STALL IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION. AN UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE
INTO THE MID SOUTH LATE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BEHIND A SURFACE COLD
FRONT. GFS CONTINUES TO BE CONSISTENT THROUGH THE LONG TERM. WILL
CONTINUE SCATTERED POPS ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND ISOLATED POPS
ELSEWHERE. DRIER AIR MOVES IN WEDNESDAY WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
WEDNESDAY WILL BE DRY THEN A SHORT WAVE MOVES THROUGH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.
