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.

STRAUSSWhat 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 Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 18, 9:51 PM EDT, 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 9:51 PM EDT, 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 951 PM EDT TUE JUL 18 2006 .SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/... MESOSCALE UPDATE 9 WW 614 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM EDT WED FOR NORTHERN CT...RI AND SE MA EXCEPT NANTUCKET. KBOX RADAR IS BACK ONLINE AS OF 945 PM MAIN PLAYER IS IMPRESSIVE STORM IN WINDHAM COUNTY CT WITH SIGHTS ON PROVIDENCE AND KENT COUNTIES RI. THIS STORM HAS BEEN A HAIL PRODUCER BUT ALSO HAS A HISTORY OF WIND DAMAGE. IT HAS ALSO SHOWN DECENT ROTATION ALOFT. LATEST MESOANALYSIS SHOWS INSTABILITY AXIS RUNNING FROM N CT INTO RI AND SE MA...AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS NOW INCREASING OVER THIS SAME AREA...SO LOOK FOR THIS STORM TO SHIFT INTO PROVIDENCE AND SE MA NEXT 1 TO 3 HOURS. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY BEHIND THIS INITIAL STORM SHOULD ALSO LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN STORMS OVER SOUTHERN RI AND S COASTAL MA...WHETHER OR NOT THESE CAN BECOME SEVERE IS STILL IN QUESTION. WE ALSO NEED TO WATCH POTENTIAL FLASH FLOOD THREAT SHOULD STORMS BEGIN TO TRAIN OVER SAME AREA. JWD && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 926 PM EDT TUE JUL 18 2006/ M8 926 PM... BOX RADAR IS DOWN AND HAS BEEN FOR ABOUT 5 MIN. ALY IS IN ORDA UPGRADE. WE ARE TOTALLY RELYING ON OKX RADAR. SUSPECT PRETTY BIG DAMAGE W SRN WINDHAM CELL PER RADAR SIGNATURES ENROUTE. WE DONT KNOW THE DETAILS YET. DRAG SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/... MESOSCALE UPDATE 7 WW 614 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM EDT WED FOR NORTHERN CT... RI AND SE MA EXCEPT NANTUCKET. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO GET SOME STORMS TO GET GOING OVER NORTHERN CT WHERE WE PRESENTLY HAVE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING OUT UNTIL 930 PM EDT FOR ONE STORM NEAR VERNON...WHILE VERY QUICKLY A SECOND STORM DEVELOPED JUST TO ITS N. JUST HAD A REPORT OF HALF INCH HAIL FROM A SPOTTER IN BOLTON CT...AND 3/4 INCH HAIL IN ANDOVER CT. THIS ACTIVITY MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL STORMS TO FIRE IN NORTHERN CT... RI AND PERHAPS JUST OVER BORDER INTO HAMPDEN/WORCESTER COUNTIES IN MA NEXT 1-3 HOURS...AS INSTABILITY AXIS EXTENDS FROM SW CT TO NE CT...RI AND SE MA AND IS SUPERIMPOSED ON AREA OF PERSISTENT MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY EDGE S THIS EVENING AND LATEST ANALYSIS PLACES IT FROM HARTFORD /DOWNTOWN/ CT INTO NW RI AND VERY CLOSE TO BOSTON. AIRMASS REMAINS UNSTABLE DESPITE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING WITH CAPES STILL RUNNING 2000-3000 J/KG. WIND DAMAGE REMAINS PRIMARY THREAT BUT STRONGER STORMS WILL ALSO HAVE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL. OUTSIDE OF WW 614...WE WILL LOWER OVERNIGHT POPS IN NORTHERN ZONES NOW THAT FRONT HAS DROPPED S. ADDED MENTION OF FOG TO S COAST... CAPE COD AND ISLANDS DUE TO PERSISTENT W/SW FLOW AND HIGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 735 PM EDT TUE JUL 18 2006/ SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/... MESOSCALE UPDATE 6 WW 611 WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE FOR CENTRAL/NORTHERN ZONES AT 8 PM EDT. WW 614 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM EDT WED FOR NORTHERN CT...RI AND SE MA EXCEPT NANTUCKET. FRONT HAS EDGED A LITTLE FARTHER S IN PAST COUPLE OF HOURS AND ROUGHLY EXTENDED FROM HARTFORD TO WORCESTER AND BOSTONS N SHORE. AT SAME TIME...YOU CAN SEE AN IMPRESSIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WORKING S THROUGH MERRIMACK VALLEY...FROM EARLIER SEVERE STORMS THAT MOVED THROUGH CENTRAL NH. WE HAVE TIMED THIS BOUNDARY INTO METRO BOSTON AROUND 820 PM...BUT SHOULD DO LITTLE MORE THAN A WIND SHIFT TO N WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 25 MPH BRIEFLY. WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE THAT IT WILL INITIATE ANY CONVECTION...AS BETTER INSTABILITY REMAINS S OF MASS PIKE. BOUNDARY SHOULD LOSE SOME OF ITS STEAM AS IT REACHES BOSTON. WE ARE NOW FOCUSING OUR ATTENTION ON WW 614 AREA...WHERE CAPES ARE STILL AS HIGH AS 3000 J/KG AND ARE SUPERIMPOSED ON AN AREA OF PERSISTENT MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. INSTABILITY AXIS EXTENDS FROM NYC ONTO S COASTAL RI/MA. A FEW STORMS WILL BEAR CLOSE MONITORING...ONE IN SW CT...ANOTHER IN LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND A THIRD IN NORTHERN NJ WHICH ARE ALL HEADING TOWARD OUR S COAST. INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN DESPITE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...SO STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO SURVIVE TRIP THIS FAR E. WE HAVE ESSENTIALLY LOST CAP...BUT WE NEED EITHER SOME SORT OF BOUNDARY TO INITIATE CONVECTION THIS EVENING OR HAVE UPSTREAM STORMS GET INTO SE NEW ENGLAND. WE THINK LATTER WILL END UP BEING CASE. JWD PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 621 PM EDT TUE JUL 18 2006/ SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/... MESOSCALE UPDATE 5 WW 611 CONTINUES IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT. PLEASE SEE LATEST SPC MESOSCALE DISCUSSION WHICH MENTIONS LIKELY ISSUANCE OF A NEW WW THIS EVENING. FRONT REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS NORTHERN PART OF FORECAST AREA...WITH INSTABILITY AXIS RUNNING FROM SE PA INTO NYC AND S OF MASS PIKE. THIS IS ALSO WHERE WE HAVE NOTICED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE INCREASING DURING PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. SATELLITE ALSO SHOWS CUMULUS CLOUDS BUILDING NEAR S COASTAL SEA BREEZE...ESPECIALLY FROM PROVIDENCE TO PLYMOUTH WHERE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS MAXIMIZED. SOUTHERN ZONES REMAIN IN A HIGH CAPE ENVIRONMENT WITH DEWPOINTS WELL INTO 70S...AND INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO BE PRESENT WELL INTO EVENING DESPITE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. FARTHER N...INSTABILITY REMAINS BUT THERE HAS BEEN SOME LOW LEVEL DRYING AS SEEN BY DEWPOINTS DROPPING A BIT INTO UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S...BUT EVEN IN THIS AREA THERE HAS BEEN SOME RECOVERY IN PAST HOUR AS MIXING DIMINISHES. RADAR MOSAIC SHOWS LINE OF CONVECTION ATTEMPTING TO ORGANIZE FROM LOWER HUDSON VALLEY INTO NW CT AND WESTERN MA. WE THINK WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS WILL TRY TO GET GOING IN WESTERN MA NEXT 1-3 HOURS WHILE MAIN FOCUS OF ACTIVITY SHIFTS INTO CT...RI AND SE MA WHERE GREATER INSTABILITY IS PRESENT. 18Z NAM/GFS BOTH INDICATE GREATER CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL S OF MASS PIKE AS ACTIVITY NOW OVER PA AND ENTERING NORTHERN NJ HEADS IN OUR DIRECTION. JWD PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 519 PM EDT TUE JUL 18 2006/ NO SUPERCELLS YET IN SNE BUT WE ARE NOT DONE THIS EVENING AND FUTURE ATTENTION IS ON TD2 OFF THE SE USA COAST AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A MORE PRODUCTIVE ACTIVE WX PATTERN FRIDAY AND POSSIBLY A SIGNIFICANT 12 HOUR RAIN EVENT DURING THE WEEKEND... SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... COLD FRONT MAKING SOME GRADUAL PROGRESS ACROSS EASTERN NEW YORK STATE AT THE CURRENT TIME. THE FRONT WILL GRADUALLY PUSH THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT THEN STALL JUST S OF THE COASTAL WATERS WEDNESDAY. QUESTION FOR TONIGHT WILL INCLUDE TIMING AND AREAL COVERAGE OF CONVECTION. ITS BEEN THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR SO FAR AT SOME INTERIOR LOCATIONS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 90S AND HEAT INDICES AROUND OR SLIGHTLY OVER 100 DEGREES. CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE CLOSE TO BEING REACHED AND THIS WILL ALLOW THE CAP TO BREAK. HOWEVER STILL AWAITING A COUPLE OF FACTORS BEFORE SCATTERED CONVECTION DEVELOPS. FIRST COLDER 700 MILLIBAR TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL SINK SOUTHWARD FROM NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS EVENING. SECOND THERE WILL BE INCREASING MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AS THE FRONT APPROACHES THE COAST. THEREFORE CONTINUED THE MENTION OF CHANCE POPS THROUGH TONIGHT. THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 8 PM. MOST OF THE SEVERE REPORTS IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND HAVE INCLUDED WIND DAMAGE BUT LARGE HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THE HEAT ADVISORY WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 6 PM. PREFERRED THE GFS OVER THE NAM WITH RESPECT TO THE SLOWER FRONTAL PROGRESS. RAISED MINIMUM TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. FOG PATCHES WILL FORM TONIGHT ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST WHERE IT MAY BECOME LOCALLY DENSE. LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... 14Z HPC GUIDANCE WAS BLENDED WITH 12Z EC/GFS OP RUN MASS FIELD SIGNALS.
