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.

The nearest sounding before it

Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 11.5 hours before the alert went out and 172 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.

BE RATHER MOISTURE STARVED THANKS TO WLY LOW LVL FLOW. ALSO...MAIN
UPR LVL ENERGY ASSOC W/ L/W TROF/LOW OVR THE GREAT LAKES WILL REMAIN
N OF THE AREA. SO JUST SOME ISOLD TO WIDELY SCT SHWRS AND TSTMS ARE
EXPECTED WITH THE FRONT (PRIMARILY IN THE NRN MTNS...FOOTHILLS...AND
NC PIEDMONT). UNDER MID LVL CLOUDS AND MODEST CAA...MOS CONSENSUS
FOR MIN TEMPS LOOKS REASONABLE.

WEDNESDAY...FRONT PUSHES S AND E OF THE AREA BY LATE MORNING...WITH
COOL DRY AIR MASS BUILDING IN FROM THE NW. GUIDANCE SHOWS LOW LVL
CAA CONTINUING DURING THE AFTN...WITH THE NAM SHOWING SIGNIFICANTLY
MORE WND THAN THE GFS. A BLEND OF THE TWO KEEPS WNDS GENERALLY IN

OVER AREA TUE AS SHORTWAVE APPROACHES FROM THE W. SFC HIGH ALSO
BEGINS TO MOVE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST TUE WHICH WEAKENS RIDGE
OVER AREA. THIS ALSO PUTS AREA IN MORE MOIST SE FLOW. WITH THIS IN
MIND...INCREASED CLOUDS AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED
FOR TUE. TEMPS SHOULD BE BELOW AVG SAT-SUN...NEAR AVG MON...THEN
BELOW AVG AGAIN TUE DUE TO GREATER CLOUD COVER.

AT KAVL AND KHKY (WHERE COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE GREATEST). SOME
