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 28, 3:50 PM EDT, 29 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ 350 PM EDT FRI JUL 28 2006 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... A SHORT PERIOD OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS INTO THE EVENING. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM. SEE OUR LATEST PRODUCTS ON THE WEB REGARDING THE STATUS OF SHORT FUSED WARNINGS. DAMAGING WINDS LOOK TO BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THE ACTIVITY...BUT MAYBE SOME SMALL HAIL AS WELL. THE ACTIVITY WILL WINDS DOWN THIS EVENING AND THEN PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT. HOT WEATHER WILL BE ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WORK WEEK. FOR THE MOST PART...THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND WILL BE DRY, BUT I HAVE INCLUDED A CHC FOR THUNDERSTORM ON SUNDAY. AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS...THE DAILY TEMPERATURES SHOULD CREEP UP A FEW DEGREES EACH DAY. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 90S THIS WEEKEND. SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR WILL BE ACROSS OUR AREA SATURDAY WITH DEW POINTS DROPPING INTO THE LOW TO UPPER 60S DURING THE AFTERNOON IN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE ENOUGH TO KEEP EXCESSIVE HEAT CRITERIA AWAY FROM OUR AREA ON SATURDAY. SUNDAYS VALUES LOOKS A BIT HIGHER...BUT NO WIDESPREAD 100 DEGREE HEAT INDICES SHOW UP UNTIL MONDAY. WE WILL REISSUE THE SPS FOR THE INCREASING HEAT AND HUMIDITY AND LET THE NEXT SHIFT GIVE A LOOK AT THE NEXT SET OF DATA IN CASE A WATCH MAY BE NEEDED. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... A QUESTION THAT MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ASKING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD (IF NOT EARLIER) IS HOW LONG WILL THE EXCESSIVE HEAT LAST? TODAYS MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE NOW BEGINNING TO SHOW HOW THIS MAY COME ABOUT. THE 00Z/28 ENSEMBLE MEANS AND BOTH THE CANADIAN AND EUROPEAN MODELS ARE NOW SHOWING SIGNS THAT TROUGHINESS WILL BEGIN TO TAKE SHAPE OVER THE ERN PART OF THE COUNTY LATE NEXT WEEK. THE HPC SFC PROGS SHOW A FRONT AND SEVERAL WEAK WAVES MOVING ALONG IT. THE FRONT SAGS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN AREAS LATE THURSDAY AND THEN INTO THE PHILLY AND SRN NJ AREAS FRIDAY MORNING. OUR FORECAST WILL BE MAINLY DRY ON TUE AND WED...EXCEPT NORTHERN AREAS WHERE SOME CHC OR SLIGHT CHC POPS ARE POSSIBLE. CHC POPS ARE IN MOST AREAS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES EACH DAY FROM TUE INTO THU SHOULD BE IN THE LOW TO MID 90S ACROSS THE REGION (COOLER...OF COURSE...AT THE SHORE AND IN THE POCONOS). ON FRIDAY, 80S WILL BE MORE COMMON, BUT I HAVE LEFT A 90 IN THE METRO AREAS FOR NOW. THE DEW POINT GRIDS GENERALLY IN THE 70S IN THE EARLY PART OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD...THEN SOME RELIEF (DEW POINTS IN THE 60S) STARTING TO PUSH DOWN FROM THE NORTH LATE IN THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION... AT 3:30 PM, THE MAIN SQUALL LINE WAS ALREADY THROUGH KRDG, KABE, KILG, KPHL AND KPNE. IT EXTENDED THROUGH KTTN AND WAS APPROACHING KMIV AND KACY. THE LINE WAS MOVING EASTWARD AT A FAIRLY GOOD CLIP AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE TSTMS FROM ALL BUT KMIV AND KACY SHORTLY. WE WILL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON THE SPOTTY SHOWERS TO THE WEST, BUT WE DONT EXPECT ANY WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY AFTER THE SQUALL LINE PASSES. A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE IS FORECAST TO PASS OVERHEAD THIS EVENING WITH FAIR WEATHER TO FOLLOW FOR TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. WE HAVE HINTED AT A LITTLE FOG FOR THE HOURS AROUND DAYBREAK SATURDAY WITH A MOSTLY CLEAR SKY AND LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED AT THAT TIME. && .MARINE... THE SQUALL LINE AND SURFACE TROUGH WILL PUSH OFF THE COAST THIS EVENING. THE BERMUDA HIGH IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY REASSERT ITSELF FOR THE WEEKEND FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEW WEEK. AS A RESULT, THERE WILL LIKELY BE A SOUTHERLY WIND DURING THE DAY AND A SOUTHWESTERLY WIND DURING THE NIGHT FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. WIND SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN GENERALLY BETWEEN 5 AND 15 KNOTS WITH WAVES ON OUR OCEAN WATERS MAINLY BETWEEN 2 AND 4 FEET. && .PHI WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

THE SCORCHING HEAT THAT HAS BEEN OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE NATION THIS PAST WEEK IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT OVER THIS SIDE OF THE APPALACHIANS THIS COMING WEEK. HEAT INDICES WILL BEGIN TO CLIMB ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUE TO SLOWLY RISE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WHILE THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE 95 TO 100 DEGREES ON SUNDAY, INCREASED LEVELS OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL MAKE IT FEEL MORE LIKE 100 TO 105 DEGREES ON MONDAY, TUESDAY, AND WEDNESDAY. REMEMBER, THE NIGHTTIME CAN BE JUST AS OPPRESSIVE AND THERE IS LITTLE IF ANY PLACE TO GO FOR RELIEF EXCEPT IN YOUR OWN HOME. SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROPER VENTILATION AND PERHAPS EVEN STAY WITH A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND THROUGH THE UPCOMING HEAT WAVE. HERE ARE A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WHEN THE HEAT ARRIVES. TRY TO AVOID WORKING OR PLAYING DIRECTLY IN THE SUN. IF YOU WILL BE BE OUTSIDE, WEAR LIGHT-COLORED, LIGHTWEIGHT CLOTHING, A HAT WITH A BRIM, AND SUNSCREEN. AN AIR-CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT IS BEST. IF THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE, TURN ON A FAN AND OPEN WINDOWS TO RELEASE TRAPPED HOT AIR. DRINK PLENTY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS EVEN IF YOU ARENT THIRSTY. IF YOU TAKE MEDICATION, CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN ABOUT POSSIBLE ADVERSE REACTIONS IN HEAT. ANIMALS CAN SUFFER FROM THE HIGH HEAT AS WELL. MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO WATER AND SUFFICIENT VENTILATION. LASTLY, NEVER LEAVE ELDERLY PEOPLE, CHILDREN OR PETS ALONE IN CARS. CONTINUE TO MONITOR NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS OR LOCAL MEDIA FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION CONCERNING THE UPCOMING HEAT. EBERWINE/OHARA/KRUZDLO
