Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
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
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 9.4 hours before the alert went out and 169 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, Jun 24, 3:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 357 PM EDT SUN JUN 24 2007 .SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...UPDATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE FIRING UP SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...EXCEPT WITH THE OCCURRENCE EXTENDING FURTHER NORTH AND EAST INTO OUR FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. WILL EXPECT THE SURFACE BASED CONVECTION TO LAST INTO THE EVENING. DURING THE NIGHT...WHAT IS LEFT OF AN UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OVER IL WILL DRIFT A BIT TO THE SE. AN AREA OF DEEP MOISTURE IN THE SW FLOW ALOFT ON THE SE SIDE OF THE LOW WILL ALSO MOVE A BIT FURTHER SE...COUPLED WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT ALOFT. LAST NIGHT THE AREAS IN THIS REGIME HAD EXTENSIVE COVERAGE OF PRECIP TO OUR W AND NW. ALTHOUGH THE MOISTURE IS NOT SHOWN BY THE MODELS TO BE QUITE AS HIGH TONIGHT AS LAST NIGHT...THINK THAT THE SET UP STILL DESERVES A SUBSTANTIAL POP...AND HAVE USED 50 PERCENT AS SUGGESTED BY MOST MOS. SOME OF THE NOCTURNAL PRECIP COULD LINGER INTO MONDAY MORNING. IF HEATING IS SUFFICIENT...WE MAY ALSO SEE REDEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH A COMBINATION OF THE TWO PRECIP POSSIBILITIES...HAVE USED A 30 PERCENT POP FOR THE PERIOD. ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN...AND ANY INFLUENCE WILL BE TO OUR N AND W. 500 MB HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD WESTWARD TOWARD US...WITH RISING 500 MB HEIGHTS AND WARMING TEMPS ALOFT. THIS SHOULD LIMIT CONVECTION...AND HAVE DECIDED TO USE THE 20 PERCENT POPS OF THE MAVMOS. THE ATMOSPHERE ALOFT CONTINUES TO DRY OUT FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE E-W ORIENTED 500 MB RIDGE AXIS OVER THE AREA. HAVE KEPT PRECIP OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR THIS PERIOD. .LONG TERM.../WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...UPDATED BACKED OFF ON POPS FOR WEDNESDAY TO A SLIGHT CHANCE AS MODEL RUNS AND MOS GUIDANCE ARE COMING IN DRIER. MOISTURE IS PRESENT WITH SOME DECENT ENVIRONMENTAL INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...SFC TRIGGERS ARE LACKING...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IS TENDING TO KEEP A MID LEVEL CAP IN PLACE AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE MORE STABLE THAN NOT. BOTTOM LINE IS THE RIDGING JUST LOOKS TOO STRONG TO ALLOW ANYTHING TO DEVELOP. FOR THE REMINDER OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD...THE 12Z GFS RUN WAS NOT AS CONSISTENT AS IT HAS BEEN IN THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. THIS MORNINGS SOLUTION TRENDED ABOUT 12 HRS SLOWER WITH THE COLD FRONT ENTERING OUR AREA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF AND GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND STAYING THE COURSE WITH BOUNDARY TIMING...SIMILAR OR THE SAME AS IN PREVIOUS RUNS. WITH THIS ONLY BEING THE FIRST RUN WITH SUCH A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE GFS... DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON DELAYING THE TIMING OF THE FRONT UNTIL THIS LATEST DEVELOPMENT BECOMES MORE CONCRETE. STILL LOOKS TO BE A GOOD FETCH OF MOISTURE FROM THE GULF INTO THE REGION AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. PW/S ARE ON THE ORDER OF 2 INCHES AND PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCIES ARE DECENT AS WELL. SO WE CAN PROBABLY EXPECT A LITTLE HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS...AND BETTER COVERAGE OF THOSE HIGHER AMOUNTS THAN WITH THE MORE RECENT SYSTEMS. FRONT SWEEPS COMPLETELY THROUGH AT THE END OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH THE PROMISE OF SOME COOLER AND MORE PLEASANT WEATHER...AT LEAST FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. && .AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/ A THICK DECK OF CI WAS OVERHEAD AT TAF ISSUANCE. HOWEVER...CLOUDS WERE NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP SHOWERS FROM POPPING UP ACROSS THE AREA. EXPECT THESE SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...GRADUALLY INCREASING IN AERIAL COVERAGE. ALSO THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO DEVELOP FURTHER SOUTH IN TN. TRIED A BROAD BRUSH APPROACH FOR THE TAFS. GENERALLY KEPT THUNDERSTORMS CONFINED MORE TO THE SOUTH EARLY ON AS THOSE SITES ARE CLOSER TO THE MORE UNSTABLE AIR. INCLUDED A PERSISTENT MVFR CONDITION FOR ALL SITES TONIGHT...MORE FOR MIST OR LIGHT FOG THAT WILL DEVELOP THAN FOR ANY STRAY AREAS OF PRECIPITATION THAT MAY PASS THROUGH. FOR THE MOST PART...TOMORROW LOOKS TO BE A REPLAY OF TODAY. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SHORT TERM...HAL LONG TERM...RAY AVIATION...RAY
