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, May 24, 1:48 PM CDT, 4 hours 56 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 148 PM CDT THU MAY 24 2007 .SHORT TERM... UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN CONUS MOVE VERY SLOWLY TO THE EAST. SHORTWAVES ARE ROTATING AROUND THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TROUGH AND ARE MOVING ACROSS THE CWA. AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT IS MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL CWA THIS AFTERNOON. THE FRONT IS BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED MOISTURE TO THE REGION. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON BECOMING STATIONARY OVER NORTHERN BREWSTER AND PRESIDIO COUNTIES THIS EVENING. LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT. ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL ENHANCE THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WITH A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX POSSIBLY DEVELOPING OVER THE UPPER TRANS PECOS REGION AND PERMIAN BASIN LATE TONIGHT. WITH CAPES IN THE 1500 TO 2000 RANGE AND BULK SHEAR VECTORS OF 20 TO 30 KTS SOME OF THE STORMS MAY APPROACH SEVERE LIMITS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HOWEVER WITH PWATS OF AROUND 1 INCH...THE GREATEST THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE FLOODING. STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS WITH GAP WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT AFFECTING THAT AREA. WILL KEEP WINDS JUST BELOW WARNING CRITERIA WITH WINDS OF NEAR 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 50 MPH. ELSEWHERE NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH ARE EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MAINLY IN THE 50S AND 60S TONIGHT AS THE COOL AIRMASS CONTINUES TO SETTLE INTO THE AREA. .LONG TERM... WITH UPPER TROUGH WEST OF THE REGION AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR STORMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SOME AREAS MAY RECEIVE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN... WHILE OTHER AREAS RECEIVE VERY LITTLE. NOT LOOKING FOR MUCH IN THE WAY OF SEVERE WEATHER. MODELS NOT IN AGREEMENT AS TO LOCATION FOR HEAVIEST RAIN. WILL LEAN TOWARD HPC QPF FORECAST WHICH FAVORS THE NORTHEAST PERMIAN BASIN/WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS FOR THE HIGHEST RAINFALL. ACTUAL HPC TOTALS LOOK A LITTLE HIGH... BUT COULD SEE 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN FROM THE SHORT TERM THROUGH THE WEEKEND EAST OF A GAIL TO BIG SPRING LINE. 12Z MAF SOUNDING HAD PW OF 0.85 INCH WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWING PW INCREASING OVER 1 INCH NEXT FEW DAYS. WILL MENTION LOCAL FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL IN THE HWO. FRIDAY SHOULD START WITH THE FRONT SITTING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PERMIAN BASIN WHICH MAY HELP STORMS TO TRAIN ALONG IT. AS EASTERLY SURFACE FLOW RETURNS TO THE SOUTHEAST... THE FRONT SHOULD LIFT NORTHWARD. HOWEVER RAIN COOLED AIR FROM CONVECTION COULD DELAY ITS NORTHWARD MOVEMENT. GFS DEVELOPS AN MCS IN THE SHORT TERM... AND DEVELOPS ANOTHER MCS FRIDAY NIGHT MOVING SOUTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO AND OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST TEXAS. WILL KEEP HIGHEST POPS FRIDAY ACROSS PERMIAN BASIN NEAR THE FRONT... SHIFTING THEM WEST OVERNIGHT FOR THE MCS. AS A NUMBER OF WEAK DISTURBANCES TRACK ACROSS THE AREA... WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS THROUGH SUNDAY AND FAVOR DEVELOPMENT OVER WESTERN MOUNTAINS. LOW POPS MONDAY. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO STAY BELOW NORMAL DUE TO CLOUDS AND RAINFALL INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST TUESDAY RESULTING IN HIGHS NEAR NORMAL AND DECREASING RAIN CHANCES... BUT THEN ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY KNOCKING DOWN HIGHS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
