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
San Diego, CA (KNKX), launched 12:00Z, 7.8 hours before the alert went out and 97 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 SAN DIEGO CA 900 AM PDT FRI JUL 22 2005 .SYNOPSIS...A MONSOONAL AIR MASS WILL BRING HUMID WEATHER INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. THUNDERSTORMS MAY MOVE WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES. FOR THE LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK...A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MAY DEVELOP OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST BRINGING DRYING AND MINOR COOLING. && .DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE... SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES... MARINE LAYER CONTINUES TO BE VERY SHALLOW AND CONFINED MAINLY TO THE COASTAL WATERS ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A PATCH OF FOG ON THE COAST FROM NEAR LA JOLLA TO SOUTH OF CARLSBAD. EXPECT LITTLE CHANGE IN THE MARINE LAYER DEPTH THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER NORTHWEST MEXICO OVERNIGHT WAS PUSHING ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA INTO THE SOUTHERN DESERTS THIS MORNING.

MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WAVE SHOULD INCREASE ON SATURDAY WITH THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING MORE WIDE SPREAD SATURDAY AFTERNOON. CLOUDS ON SUNDAY COULD BE THICK ENOUGH TO LIMIT HEATING WHICH MAY RESULT IN MORE GENERALIZED SHOWERS BUT THERE STILL IS THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS MOISTURE ON SUNDAY. SOME OF THIS MOISTURE SHOULD REACH THE WESTERN VALLEY AND COASTAL AREAS ON SUNDAY. MOISTURE SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE ON MONDAY ALLOWING ADDITIONAL HEATING SO EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE A WEAK TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP ALONG THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST DURING THE LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK WHICH SHOULD BRING SOME COOLING ALONG WITH SOME DRYING TO THE AREA DURING THE PERIOD. NO ADDITIONAL UPDATES ARE PLANNED AT THIS TIME. && VERY SHALLOW...BELOW FL003...AND PATCHY COASTAL STRATUS BETWEEN CARLSBAD AND ENSENADA SHOULD BURN OFF BY 1600 UTC. ENOUGH MOISTURE AND HEATING IN PLACE FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AGAIN TODAY.
