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 tornado 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
350 PM CDT MON JUL 28 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL A BIT UNCERTAIN THIS EVENING AS EARLY MORNING
MCS TRACKED ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH. IT APPEARS THE SOUTHWEST
SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE TAPPED FOR DEEP SURFACED BASED CONVECTION THIS
EVENING AND TRACK EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN NORTH DAKOTA. THIS
WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR THE CURRENT FORECAST. PLACED THE SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT ACROSS SOUTHERN NORTH DAKOTA FOR THE EVENING AND
TAPERED THE THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES DOWN AFTER MIDNIGHT. ON TUESDAY I
DOWNPLAYED THE PRECIP CHANCES AS BUILDING H5 RIDGE SHUTS DOWN
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL BUT KEEPS TEMPS WARM TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
NEXT CHC FOR PRECIP WILL BE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS SHORTWAVE
TROUGH FLATTENS RIDGE.

THAT DO DEVELOP DUE TO EARLIER MORNING CONVECTION AND A WEAK CAPPING
LAYER IN PLACE. ATTM THE BEST AREA FOR SURFACE BASED STORMS LOOKS TO
BE ACROSS SOUTHWEST ND...THEN EXPANDING INTO LARGER AERIAL COVERAGE
LATER THIS EVENING. VERY POSSIBLE THAT ONLY A FEW ISOLATED STORMS
