Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 2 minutes after it went out.

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

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 159 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.

What 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 Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 23, 3:36 PM CDT, 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 3:36 PM CDT, 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
336 PM CDT FRI JUN 23 2006

.DISCUSSION...SURFACE MAP FROM 20Z SHOWS THE COLD FRONT HAS PASSED
THROUGH NASHVILLE, BUT NOT CROSSVILLE. MOST OF THE CONVECTION
GOING ON NOW HAS MOVED OVER TO THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU, WITH MUCH
LESS ACTIVITY GOING ON ELSEWHERE.

OVERNIGHT, CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION,
ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NEAR THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU IN THE VICINITY
OF THE COLD FRONT. IN FACT, THE GFS MODEL DOESNT SHOW THE 500 MB
SHORTWAVE PASSING THROUGH MIDDLE TENNESSEE ANYTIME DURING THE
7-DAY FORECAST PERIOD. THEREFORE, GIVEN THAT A FAIR AMOUNT OF LOW-
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE, BELIEVE POPS ARE WARRANTED
IN MOST AREAS AT LEAST UNTIL TUESDAY, WHEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
FROM THE SOUTHWEST FINALLY PUSHES THE MOISTURE OUT OF OUR AREA.

MODEL SOUNDINGS FOR 18Z TOMORROW SHOW A SUFFICIENTLY UNSTABLE
ENVIRONMENT TO DRIVE SOME AFTERNOON CONVECTION, DESPITE THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT UNDER
ANY RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD, SO
THERE IS NO REASON TO MENTION ANY POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE IN THE
PUBLIC FORECAST.

AGAIN, LOOK FOR THE ATMOSPHERE TO DRY OUT BY TUESDAY, LEAVING US
WITH NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE PERIOD.
