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
Midland Regional, TX (KMAF), launched 00:00Z, 2.1 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 MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
257 PM CDT FRI MAY 26 2006
.SHORT TERM...
SURFACE TROUGH/DRYLINE FROM EASTERN EDDY COUNTY SOUTH TO THE
UPPER TRANS PECOS AND EASTERN SLOPES OF THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS WILL
MOVE LITTLE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. CUMULUS CLOUDS BEGINNING TO
FORM IN THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS THOUGH SLOWER THAN YESTERDAY...
POSSIBLY DUE TO SUBSIDENCE OCCURRING BEHIND SHORTWAVE MOVING OFF
INTO CENTRAL TEXAS AND 2 DEGREE WARMING OF 700 MILLIBAR
TEMPERATURES TODAY. LOOKING FOR DECREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE OF
CONVECTION THIS EVENING AS COMPARED TO LAST EVENING. INHERITED
10- 20 POPS LOOK FINE THIS EVENING WITH BEST POPS ACROSS THE
WESTERN BASIN...JUST EAST OF SURFACE TROUGH. JUST MINOR TWEAKS
WERE NEEDED TO THE GRIDS.
.LONG TERM...
MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT A WESTERN CONUS TROUGH/EASTERN CONUS
RIDGE THROUGH THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. A SURFACE TROUGH WILL
PERSIST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS WITH A DRYLINE MIXING
EAST DURING THE DAY AND RETREATING WEST AT NIGHT. A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH PROGRESSING OVER THE GREAT BASIN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL INDUCE ROBUST SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS OVER
THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...AND THIS IN TURN WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE
IN WINDS ACROSS THE CWFA SATURDAY. WINDS MAY APPROACH WARNING
CRITERIA AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE GUADALUPES SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. THESE WINDS...ALONG WITH VERY LOW FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS
AND SINGLE DIGIT RH VALUES WILL CREATE DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE WESTERN CWFA THIS WEEKEND. THE DRYLINE WILL
MIX TO FAR EASTERN ZONES AS WELL...AND WITH INCREASING CIN OVER
MUCH OF THE AREA...PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE CONFINED TO THE WESTERN
LOW ROLLING PLAINS SOUTH ACROSS THE LOWER TRANS PECOS DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THEREAFTER...THE
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS BEGINS TO FLATTEN
SOMEWHAT...WITH A NET WESTWARD TRANSLATION OF BOTH THE MIDLEVEL
THERMAL AND THETAE RIDGES. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN AN UPTICK IN
ISOLD CONVECTION BACK OVER THE MOUNTAINS...MORE OR LESS WHAT ONE
WOULD EXPECT UNDER WEAK SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT THIS TIME OF
YEAR. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE HOT THIS WEEKEND...BUT WILL
BEGIN TO COOL DOWN TO MERELY ABOVE NORMAL READINGS NEXT WEEK AS
LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES DECREASE AND MOISTURE INCREASES.
GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND THE ENSEMBLE GFS MEANS GIVES
ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE IN THIS FORECAST. NAM DEWPOINT GRIDS
LOOKED BEST IN CLOSE...BUT EVEN THERE A FAIR AMOUNT OF ADJUSTING
TOWARD A CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF DRYLINE EVOLUTION AND CLIMATOLOGY
WAS NEEDED. MAX TEMP GRIDS REFLECT A STRONG WEIGHTING TOWARD THE
HIGH END OF THE ENSEMBLE GFS MOS ENVELOPE THROUGH TUESDAY...THEN
TOWARD THE OPERATIONAL GFS MOS SOLUTION BEYOND THEN. ALL OTHER
FORECAST ELEMENTS REFLECT THE GFS SOLUTION TEMPERED BY MOS.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
FIRE WEATHER A BIG CONCERN THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WITH
INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPING WITH VERY DRY FUELS IN
PLACE ACROSS EXTREME WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. WILL
EXTEND THE RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
WE HAVE ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE DAY SATURDAY FOR
EXTREME WEST TEXAS AND THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS. CRITERIA
SHOULD BE MET ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS CLOSER TO THE
STRONGER WIND FIELDS ALOFT BUT WILL PROBABLY BE MORE MARGINAL
FURTHER SOUTH INTO WEST TEXAS DUE TO MARGINAL 20 FOOT WINDS.
HOWEVER WILL ISSUE WARNING GIVEN HOLIDAY AND VERY DRY FUELS PER
TEXAS FOREST SERVICE REQUEST.
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
ACROSS EXTREME WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO BEHIND A
DRYLINE. HAVE INCLUDED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THESE TIME
PERIODS GIVEN VOLUME OF PEOPLE OUT AND ABOUT THIS WEEKEND AND
VERY DRY FUELS CONTINUING.
