The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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

Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 12:00Z, 11.6 hours before the alert went out and 168 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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
608 PM CDT TUE JUN 7 2005

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FOCUS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.

ATMOSPHERE FAIRLY UNSTABLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WESTERN
MISSOURI EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES FROM THE MID
TO UPPER 80S AND DEW POINTS FROM THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S.  FURTHER
EAST...A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WHICH PUSHED ACROSS EAST CENTRAL AND
SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER
70S.  CAPES ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS THIS
AFTERNOON WERE FROM 2500 TO 3500 J/KG AND HAS AIDED IN SCATTERED
CONVECTION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.  IN ADDITION TO THE
INSTABILITY...REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES IN SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND A
COUPLE OF CONVECTIVE INDUCED VORT MAXES PUSHING EAST OUT OF KANSAS
AND OKLAHOMA WILL AID IN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENINGS CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT.  DRY AIR ALOFT NOTED FROM 12Z SGF SOUNDING AND MAY
PROMOTE SEVERE DOWNDRAFT POTENTIAL HOWEVER MOST STORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO REMAIN BELOW THE SEVERE LIMITS THIS AFTERNOON.

SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY LINGER ON INTO THE EVENING...HOWEVER MAIN
CONVECTIVE THREAT TONIGHT WILL REMAIN WELL TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE
AREA ALONG THE COLD FRONT.  SHOULD SEE DIMINISHING THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY ACROSS THE CWA AFTER SUNSET WITH THE LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING.

MAIN UPPER LEVEL FLOW OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL REMAIN OUT OF
THE SOUTHWEST WITH WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS PERSISTING.  SHOULD SEE
DAILY HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S AND NIGHTTIME LOWS FROM
THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S.  FRONT WILL LIKELY BECOME STATIONARY TO
THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE CWA WITH MAIN CONVECTION FOCUS ALONG THE
FRONT.  COULD SEE INSTABILITY BASED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS...ESPECIALLY ALONG ANY REMNANT OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES OR WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCES MOVING ACROSS THE AREA IN THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.

THESE DAILY CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND AND ON MONDAY.  UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK
INTO THE AREA ON TUESDAY AND WILL KEEP THIS NEW PERIOD DRY FOR NOW.

.AVIATION...

CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE OVER BY 00Z TAF ISSUANCE. VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED OVERNIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. AFTERNOON CONVECTION
POSSIBLE AGAIN TOMORROW...SO LATER TAFS MAY SEE THE NEED TO INCLUDE
A TEMPO TSRA GROUP.

LAWRENCE-CHRISTIAN-DOUGLAS-HOWELL-SHANNON-MCDONALD-BARRY-STONE-
TANEY-OZARK-OREGON-
310 PM CDT TUE JUN 7 2005

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI
OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM WITH HEAVY RAINFALL...CLOUD TO GROUND
  LIGHTNING...HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND WINDS UP TO 70
  MPH.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALL OF THE MISSOURI OZARKS
  AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

  DISCUSSION:

  AN UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION WILL INTERACT WITH INCREASING
  INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA AND SEVERAL REMAINING OUTFLOW
  BOUNDARIES TO PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
  AND EARLY EVENING.  ALTHOUGH WEAK VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS
  IN PLACE...THE STRONG INSTABILITY ALONG WITH A DRY LAYER ALOFT
  WILL PROVIDE THE CAPABILITY FOR SOME OF THESE STORMS TO PRODUCE
  LARGE HAIL AND DOWNBURST WINDS.

  AS THE INSTABILITY DECREASES THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME
  HEATING...THE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL DECREASE.

  THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST ALONG AND
  SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR WHERE PRE-EXISTING
  OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR REDEVELOPMENT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

  THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD
  AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI AND SEVERAL
  UPPER DISTURBANCES PUSH THROUGH.

  THE COMBINED HEAT AND HUMIDITY ON WEDNESDAY WILL ALLOW FOR
  HEAT INDICES TO REACH THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 102 DEGREES
  DURING THE AFTERNOON ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND INTO WESTERN
  MISSOURI.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT.
