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

Del Rio, TX (KDRT), launched 12:00Z, 10.7 hours before the alert went out and 211 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, May 7, 2:09 PM CDT, 3 hours 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
209 PM CDT MON MAY 7 2007

.SHORT TERM...
CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS THE NE TO SW ORIENTATION OF THE
TROUGH WELL WITH AT LEAST ONE SHORTWAVE EVIDENT OVER NORTHERN
MEXICO.  THIS TROUGH WILL REMAIN VERY STATIONARY THROUGH TUESDAY
EVENING WITH SEVERAL SHORTWAVES ROTATING AROUND THE BASE OF IT.
THE COLD FRONT THAT MOVED THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT IS NOW SITTING
ALONG AN ABILENE TO SAN ANGELO TO DEL RIO LINE.  THIS TOO IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN STATIONARY THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING AND WILL
PROVIDE A CONVERGENT FOCUS FOR STORMS TODAY AND TOMORROW.

SURFACE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO TURN TO THE EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND
TO THE SOUTHEAST LATER THIS EVENING.  THIS EASTERLY FLOW WILL ALLOW
DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S AND 70S TO MOVE BACK INTO THE AREA.  WINDS WILL
REMAIN EASTERLY ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE PECOS THROUGH TUESDAY.  THERE
WILL BE SOME MODERATE MID-LEVEL LIFT TODAY...THE BEST THIS AFTERNOON
AND THEN AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THE BEST MID AND
UPPER LEVEL LIFT ACROSS THE AREA WILL BE TOMORROW.  A 30-35 KT LLJ
WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT TONIGHT ALONG THE EASTERN FRINGE OF THE CWA
RUNNING UP INTO THE BOUNDARY AND AIDING MOISTURE CONVERGENCE.

WHILE THE MAIN THREAT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE HEAVY RAIN
AND FLASH FLOODING...SEVERE WEATHER IS A POSSIBILITY THIS AFTERNOON
AND THIS EVENING AS WELL AS A SLIGHT CHANCE TOMORROW AS WELL.
INSTABILITY LOOKS SLIGHTLY BETTER TODAY THAN TOMORROW WITH SURFACE BASED
CAPE VALUES OF UP TO 2500 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON DOWN IN THE LOWER
TRANS PECOS.  THE BEST SBCAPE VALUES TOMORROW WILL BE BELOW 1800
J/KG AND WILL BE DOWN IN THE BIG BEND AND THE LOWER TRANS PECOS.
0-6KM BULK SHEAR WILL BE AGAIN SLIGHTLY BETTER TODAY WITH 50-60KTS
EXPECTED AND ONLY 40-45KTS EXPECTED TOMORROW.

WITH GROUND SATURATED FROM LAST WEEKS RAINS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA...PWAT VALUES ABOVE AN INCH...WHICH BRINGS THEM TO NEAR 200
PERCENT OF NORMAL...AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MOVING BACK INTO THE AREA
TONIGHT...HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A GREAT THREAT OVER
THE NEXT TWO DAYS.  A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE CONTINUED THROUGH
TUESDAY EVENING FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY WARNING AREA.

.LONG TERM...
LARGE UPPER TROUGH THAT HAS BROUGHT ACTIVE WEATHER TO THE REGION
WILL DEVELOPER A CUTOFF LOW OVER NEW MEXICO BY WEDNESDAY.  AS LONG AS
TROUGH/LOW IS WEST OF THE REGION... CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL CONTINUE.
WHEN UPPER LOW COMBINED WITH A STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE
AREA THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL BE ENOUGH TO EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  WHILE WATCH FOR ALL THE AREA... MODEL
QPF CONTINUES TO DEVELOP HEAVIEST RAIN ACROSS EASTERN PERMIAN
BASIN... LOWER TRANS PECOS... AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING THE TROUGH AXIS SHOULD CROSS THE
AREA ENDING THE CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD RAIN.  RAIN CHANCES WILL
TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST... BUT THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A FEW
STORMS AROUND THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS DAYTIME HEATING ACTS
ON THE RAIN SOAKED GROUND.

MAY AVERAGE MONTHLY RAINFALL AT MAF IS 1.79 INCHES... CONSIDERING WE
ARE ALREADY AT 1.52 THROUGH THE FIRST 6 DAYS... THERE IS A REALLY GOOD
CHANCE WE WILL EXCEED THAT THIS WEEK BY QUITE A BIT.

MODELS BUILD UPPER TROUGH IN FROM THE WEST THURSDAY KEEPING IT OVER
THE CWA THROUGH THE WEEKEND... BUT NOT BUILDING IT ACROSS THE REST
OF TEXAS.  RIDGE WILL BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES AND DRIER WEATHER
TO THE REGION.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COOL ON WEDNESDAY AS CLOUD COVER AND
RAINFALL LIMIT INSOLATION... BUT BY THURSDAY WILL SEE A RETURN TO
80S WITH 90S ALONG THE PECOS AND RIO GRANDE.  TEMPERATURES WILL
INCREASE THROUGH NEXT MONDAY.
