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.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 25, 1:33 PM EDT, 4 hours 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 133 PM EDT TUE JUL 25 2006 .DISCUSSION... HIGH PRESSURE WAS BUILDING INTO NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALLOWING FOR THE WINDS OVER THE CWA TO BECOME EASTERLY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE TO PUSH INLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND KEEP THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE NEAR THE WEST COAST AREAS. A FEW SHOWERS WHERE ALSO DEVELOPING AROUND LAKE OKEECHOBEE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG WITH THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY OVER THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST AREAS AS THE HEATING CONTINUES AND THE SEA BREEZES COLLIDE. SO WILL CONTINUE SCATTERED POPS OVER THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST AREAS...AND REDUCE THEM DOWN TO ISOLATED OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA THROUGH REST OF THE WEEK KEEPING THE EASTERLY WIND FLOW OVER THE CWA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE SUMMER TIME PATTERN OVER SOUTH FLORIDA...WITH NIGHT TIME AND MORNING ACTIVITY EAST COAST AND AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACTIVITY INTERIOR AND WEST COAST AREAS. TEMPS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO WARM UP INTO THE MID 90S WITH THE DEW POINTS IN THE MID 70S OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS OF SOUTH FLORIDA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE HEAT INDEX TO GET UP INTO THE RANGE OF 105 TO 110 OVER THIS AREA FOR COUPLE OF HOURS EACH AFTERNOON. SO PLAN ON PUTTING A HEADLINE IN THE ZONES FOR THE INTERIOR AREAS OF THE CWA ABOUT THE HEAT INDEX TEMPS. .EXTENDED FORECAST... THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BREAK DOWN SOMEWHAT THIS WEEKEND ALLOWING FOR A TROPICAL WAVE TO MOVE THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA THAT IS CURRENTLY EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. THIS WILL BRING SOME DRYING OVER THE CWA EARLY THIS WEEKEND AHEAD OF THE WAVE...BEFORE DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES INTO THE CWA FOR LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE STEERING FLOW WILL ALSO BE SHIFTING FROM A SOUTHEAST DIRECTION TO A SOUTHWEST DIRECTION THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. SO HAVE DECREASE THE POPS EARLY THIS WEEKEND OVER THE CWA...BEFORE INCREASING THEM BACK TO SCATTERED CONDITIONS LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE HIGHEST POPS ALONG THE EAST COAST AREAS. && .MARINE... THE WINDS WILL REMAIN LESS THAN 10 KNOTS FROM THE SOUTHEAST DIRECTION THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BEFORE INCREASING TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WATERS. THE WINDS WILL THEN REMAIN AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS ON SATURDAY FROM THE NORTHEAST BEFORE DECREASING TO 5 TO 10 KNOTS FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON SUNDAY. THE SEAS WILL ALSO REMAIN LESS THAN 6 FEET THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. SO BOATING WEATHER LOOKS GOOD THIS WEEK INTO THIS WEEKEND OUTSIDE OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .FIRE WEATHER... THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES THROUGH THE WEEK...DUE TO THE TROPICAL AIRMASS OVER THE CWA. SO NO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME WITH THE FIRE WEATHER. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
