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.

321 PM MDT WED AUG 22 2007

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)

...SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL ON THE INCREASE...

A SEVERE STORM FIRED ALONG A DRYLINE/CONVERGENT ZONE
OVER EASTERN LAS ANIMAS THIS AFTERNOON...AND IS NOW
TRACKING NORTHEAST THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL BENT COUNTY.
AND SO...WE ARE UNDERWAY WITH SEVERE WEATHER ONCE
AGAIN. HAVE INTRODUCED SEVERE POTENTIAL ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST PLAINS AND ACROSS EL PASO COUNTY FOR THIS
EVENING.  0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE BEST ACROSS
EL PASO COUNTY...UP AROUND 40 KTS.  BUT LOW LEVEL
SHEAR IS BETTER ALONG SOUTHEAST PLAINS CONVERGENT
BOUNDARY.  IN THIS AREA...0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES
ARE MORE LIKE 25-30 KTS.  LARGE HAIL/DAMAGE WINDS
SHOULD BE MAIN THREATS THIS EVENING.

GETS MORE SERIOUS TOMORROW AFTERNOON.  NAM12 0-6KM
BULK SHEARS GO OVER 50 KTS ACROSS EL PASO COUNTY
BY 6 PM THURSDAY.  THIS...COUPLED WITH AN INDICATED
SURFACE BOUNDARY PRESSING SOUTH ACROSS EL PASO
COUNTY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON SHOULD BE A RECIPE
FOR SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT.  COULD ALSO BE STORMS
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS AGAIN...IN VICINITY OF
OLD CONVERGENT BOUNDARY.  SO...ANOTHER DAY OF
HAIL/DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL.  THIS DAY ALSO
WARRANTS MENTION OF TORNADO POTENTIAL DUE TO
HIGH AMOUNT OF SHEAR THAT WILL BE PRESENT...MUCH
HIGHER THAN WEVE SEEN IN A WHILE.  THIS WOULD
BE ESPECIALLY TRUE ACROSS EL PASO COUNTY IN THE
AFTERNOON.  STAY TUNED.  LW

.LONG TERM...
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)

UPPER LVL TROF WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THURS NIGHT THROUGH FRI
WITH COLD FRONT DROPPING THROUGH SE PLAINS THURS EVENING PARTIALLY
DRIVEN BY AFTN CONVECTION ACROSS EAST CENTRAL CO. APPEARS HEAVIEST
PCPN MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE NOSE OF LOW LVL JET OVERNIGHT...ACROSS
EXTREME SE CO WRN KS WHERE BOTH GFS/NAM INDICATE MCS WILL DEVELOP.
HOWEVER WITH FORCING FROM UPPER TROF MOVING ACROSS FCST AREA
OVERNIGHT COULD SEE ISOLATED/SCAT THUNDERSTORMS JUST ABOUT
ANYWHERE. AS FRONT DROPS SOUTHWARD SHOULD SEE ANOTHER PCPN MAX
ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SE MTS WHERE UPSLOPE WILL PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL LOW LVL FORCING. DEW POINTS IMMEDIATELY ALONG/BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL BE IN THE MID 50S/LOWER 60S THURS EVENING...NETTING
SBCAPE VALUES OF UP TO 2500 J/KG. WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEARS AROUND 50
KTS...ISOLATED SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL/DAMAGING WIND CAN BE
EXPECTED. COULDN/T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT ALONG THE
SFC BOUNDARY.

THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ONGOING FRI MORNING AS UPPER TROF CONTINUES TO
MOVE ACROSS CEN/ERN CO INTO THE CEN PLAINS BY THE AFTN.  12Z NAM/GFS
AREN/T TOO PARTICULARLY WET FOR FRI...AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN FROM THE
WEST AND AREA COMES UNDER SUBSIDENCE ALOFT.  FRI WILL BE COOL...AND COULD
BE TOO CAPPED ACROSS THE PLAINS...THOUGH WITH COOLER AIR ALOFT
BEHIND THE TROF...CAP MAY NOT BE ALL THAT STRONG.  HAVE KEPT SOME
GENERALLY ISOLATED POPS FOR FRI AFTN ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS/PLAINS.

SAT WILL BE DRIER AND WARMER...THEN 12Z GFS ADVECTS MOISTURE FROM
REMNANTS OF HURRICANE DEAN INTO THE 4 CORNERS REGION BY SUN
AFTN/NIGHT.  MODELS SEEM TO BE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME RESOLVING THE
TIMING OF THIS...HOWEVER BY MON...SHOULD START SEEING AN INCREASE IN
POPS FOR WRN AREAS.  MEANWHILE...TEMPS SHOULD BE WARMING ON THE
PLAINS AS LEE TROF DEEPENS AND H7 TEMPS WARM BACK TO +16 TO +19C FOR
SUN AND MON.  NEXT FRONT MAY DROP THROUGH THE SE PLAINS BY MON
NIGHT...BRINGING ANOTHER COOL DOWN/UPSWING IN PRECIPITATION FOR THE
EAST ON TUES/WED. -KT
