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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Des Moines, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 4, 3:14 PM CDT, 10 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 3:14 PM CDT, 10 hours 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
314 PM CDT WED JUN 4 2008

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION AND WATCHES IN EFFECT...

.SHORT TERM/TONIGHT...
FOCUS TONIGHT REMAINS ON SEVERE AND HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. WARM FRONT
HAS LIFTED SLOWLY NORTH TO NEAR THE IA/MO BORDER. GREATEST
INSTABILITY CURRENTLY IS TO THE SOUTHWEST IN NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS
AND SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA. LACK OF 0-3 KM CAPE IN SOUTHERN IOWA NEAR
THE WARM FRONT SUGGESTS THAT SFC BASED CONVECTION IS STILL SEVERAL
HOURS OFF IN IA. ONCE CONVECTION DOES BEGIN ALL MODES OF SVR WX ARE
POSSIBLE NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. LATER TONIGHT THE LOW LEVEL JET
WILL FOCUS INTO THE STATE AND WILL CONTINUE TO FUEL THUNDERSTORMS
NEAR THE WARM FRONT AS IT LIFTS NORTH OVER IA. AREAS OF HEAVY
RAINFALL REMAIN POSSIBLE BUT THE FORWARD PROPAGATION OF THE STORMS
SHOULD LIMIT POTENTIAL. WILL EXPAND FLASH FLOOD WATCH NORTH TO
HIGHWAY 20 WHERE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL IN A SHORT PERIOD WILL
CAUSE HYDROLOGIC ISSUES GIVEN RECENT HEAVY RAINS.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY-WEDNESDAY/...
ACTIVE PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
NUMEROUS VIGOROUS WAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW DURING THE PERIOD
WHILE THE MIDWEST REMAINS CONNECTED TO THE MIDWEST. ONGOING ELEVATED
CONVECTION LIKELY ONGOING AT THE START OF THE PERIOD IN ADVANCED OF
A WARM FRONT LIFTING THROUGH THE STATE. MARGINAL SEVERE WX AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE THURSDAY MORNING HOWEVER THE BIG
SHOW STILL ON TARGET FOR THURSDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THE PRIMARY
SEVERE EVENT LIKELY TO BEGIN AFTER 00Z THURSDAY EVENING THEN TURNING
INTO A COMBINATION SEVERE AND HEAVY RAIN EVENT AFTER MIDNIGHT.
TONIGHTS RAINFALL WILL LIKELY BE A PRIMER FOR THURSDAY NIGHT.
HYDROLOGY CONCERNS WILL GREATLY INCREASE IF CENTRAL IOWA GETS ONE
INCH PLUS TONIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A NORTH TO SOUTH 2 TO 4
INCH BAND THURSDAY NIGHT. ALL MODES FOR SEVERE WEATHER ARE LIKELY
WITH THE TORNADIC POTENTIAL ENHANCED WEST OF INTERSTATE 35. PWATS
APPROACHING 2 INCHES WITH A 60 KT LOW LEVEL JET FEEDING INTO THE
REGION WILL PROMOTE THE POTENTIAL FOR EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS.
STORM MOVEMENT ALONG THE BOUNDARY SUGGESTS TRAINING POTENTIAL.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER FRIDAY MORNING THEN ANOTHER CHANCE OVER
THE EAST IN THE AFTERNOON. A BRIEF BREAK FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
SATURDAY THEN THE NEXT SYSTEM BRINGS THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL BACK BY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. POSSIBLE THAT THE WARM FRONT WILL HANG
UP OVER IOWA LEADING TO A PROLONGED THUNDERSTORM CHANCE THROUGH
MONDAY BEFORE FINALLY PUSHING TO THE NORTH BY MIDWEEK.

&&

.AVIATION 05/06Z...
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF THE AREA...AFFECTING KDSM AND
KMCW...AND VERY NEAR KALO AT THIS TIME. KOTM REMAINS SOUTHEAST OF
THE ACTION BUT WILL PROBABLY GET HIT AT SOME TIME DURING THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS. THUNDERSTORMS NOT EXPECTED TO END UNTIL CLOSE TO
12Z...AFTER WHICH MVFR CIGS AND PERHAPS SOME BR/HZ WILL LINGER INTO
THE MID/LATE MORNING HOURS. ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL
ENTER THE PICTURE THURS EVENING/NIGHT.
