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.

DISCUSSION...

SYNOPSIS...
DEEP() MID-UPR DECK LOW MOVING SLOWLY NE OVER ERN CO PLAYING VITAL ROLE
IN SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER SRN/CENTRAL PLAINS THIS EVENING.
STRONG-SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY BROKEN OUT ALONG WRN CORRIDOR &
THIS WAS EXPECTED CONSIDERING THESE AREAS ARE BENEATH LEFT-EXIT REGION OF
100KT 300-MB JET MAX. ALTHOUGH DIRECTIONAL DEEP-LAYER SHEAR IS LACKING
DEEP-LAYER SPEED IS NOT (50KTS) & WITH MLCAPES 1500 LARGE HAIL (UP TO
GOLFBALL-SIZED AND DAMAGING WINDS OF 70-80 MPH ARE LIKELY OVER CENTRAL &
SC KS THIS EVENING WHERE SVR #703 IS IN EFFECT TIL 9 PM CDT.

TONIGHT:
WITH IMPRESSIVE MID-UPR SUPPORT INTERACTING STRNG N/NE SFC-850MB MOIST-
URE MIGRATION WILL GO ALMOST FULL-THROTTLE ON POPS OVER MOST OF CENTRAL
& SC KS WHERE 80-90% ASSIGNED. AS AFORE-MENTIONED MID-UPR DECK LOW LIFTS
ACROSS CO/KS BORDER GREATEST STRONG (& POSSIBLY A FEW SEVERE) TSRA WILL
SHIFT E TARGETING SE KS LATE TONIGHT WHERE 90-100% POPS ASSIGNED.

MON & MON NIGHT:
WITH MID-UPR LOW STRENGTHENING GRADUALLY AS IT LIFTS SLOWLY ACROSS KS/
NEBRASKA BORDER ATTENDANT COLD FRONT WILL SURGE E ACROSS SE KS THEREBY
BRINGING FAIRLY QUICK END TO CONVECTION BY EARLY MON EVENING. ONSET OF
WLY LWR DECK COMP SHOULD TEMP DROP IN CHECK WITH LOWS OF 45-50 EXPECTED
MOST AREAS.

TUE & TUE NIGHT:
AFTER BRIEF INTERMISSION TSRA RETURN TO PRIMARILY NW CORRIDOR WHERE
CLOSEST GRADUALLY INCREASING SFC-850MB SPEED CONVERGENT AXIS & WHERE
ALSO ALIGNED WITH STRONG LWR-DECK MOISTURE ADVECTION. SUCH CONVECTION
TO BE FURTHER AIDED BY GRADUALLY DEEPENING MID-UPR TROF MOVING E ACROSS
CO/NM THATLL PROVIDE INCREASING MID-UPR DIFFLUENCE OVER THESE AREAS.

WED-NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT:
ANTICIPATE AN ACTIVE PERIOD AS TWO STRONG MID-UPR LONG-WAVE TROFS SURGE
IN ELY MANNER ACROSS SRN PLAINS. THE 1ST SUCH MID-UPR TROF IS SCHEDULED
TO CROSS THESE AREAS WED & WED NIGHT THEREBY INDUCING INTENSE SURFACE
CYCLOGENESIS OVER CO/KS BORDER. IN RESPONSE STRONG NE LWR-DECK MOISTURE
MIGRATION ENSUES & WITH ARRIVAL OF STRONG MID-UPR SUPPORT 40-60% POPS
BEING ASSIGNED WED WITH THE HIGHER POPS ASSIGNED TO SE KS WHERE BETTER
ALIGNED WITH MOISTURE AXIS & GREATEST UPR-DECK DIFFLUENCE. PRONOUNCED
PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF UPR PATTERN SHOULD LIMIT SIGNIFICANT TSRA CHANCES
(40-50% FOR A DAY 4 FORECAST) TO FAR SE KS WED NIGHT.

LATE THU NIGHT & FRI A 2ND MID-UPR TROF STRENGTHENS RAPIDLY AS IT SURGES
E IN ALMOST IDENTICAL TRACK AS ITS PREDECESSOR. ONE POTENTIAL INHIBITOR
TO SIGNIFICANT TSRA DEVELOPMENT IS THAT WITH SUCH A RAPID SUCCESSION OF
POTENT SYSTEMS MAY PREVENT SUFFICIENT FUEL FROM RETURNING TO SC & SE KS.
PER THIS REASON HAVE TAKEN CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO POPS BY ASSIGNING
15-20% POPS TO SE KS THU-FRI.
