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.

LINEAR COMPLEX OF T-STORMS MOVING THRU S-CNTRL KS AS OF
0530Z...WILL TRANSLATE EWD ACROSS THE FLINT HILLS AND SERN KS
OVERNIGHT AFFECTING CNU TAF SITE BETWEEN 08Z-12Z. WIND GUSTS OF

JMC

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 308 PM CDT THU MAY 8 2008/

DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERNS...SEVERE POTENTIAL WITH CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
TONIGHT...THEN WEEKEND FORECAST.

THE ANTICIPATED CONVECTIVE EPISODE FOR LATE THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HAS COMMENCED OUT ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS AT
MID-AFTERNOON. RATHER HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE TONIGHT FORECAST
WITH GOOD AGREEMENT IN SHORT TERM AND MESO MODELS...IN TAKING
MESOSCALE SYSTEM ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. DESPITE THE
MODEST ELEVATED CAPE VALUES AROUND 750 J/KG AFTER DARK...THE
IMPRESSIVE 1-6KM LAYER BULK SHEAR WHICH TRANSLATES EASTWARD
WITH THE EXPECTED CONVECTION AND ASSOCIATED MID/UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE...WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE
WEATHER/DAMAGING WIND/HAIL EVENT. MODEL CONSENSUS SUGGESTS
ACTIVITY WILL ARRIVE IN THE RUSSELL AND GREAT BEND AREA BETWEEN
02-03Z...THEN ALONG THE TURNPIKE BY 05-06Z. WILL INSERT SEVERE
WORDING IN THESE AREAS PRIOR TO 06Z. EXPECT MORE MARGINALLY
SEVERE...MAINLY STRONG...STORMS POST MIDNIGHT AS CONVECTION
AFFECTS AREAS EAST OF THE TURNPIKE.

AFTER BRIEF RESPIT ON FRIDAY...CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL
RETURN ON SATURDAY...AS A MORE VIGOROUS UPPER TROF DROPS
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND ACROSS THE PLAINS.
TIMING OF THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL REMAIN KEY TO POTENTIAL
FOR ANY SEVERE WEATHER...MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS. SHEAR
PROFILES MORE THAN ADEQUATE...THOUGH BEST INSTABILITY LOOKS TO
RESIDE JUST SOUTH OF THE BORDER ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.
OTHERWISE DRIER AND COOLER FOR MOTHERS DAY ON SUNDAY.

FOR THE OUTER PERIODS...WHILE REMAINING A BIT DIFFERENT IN THE
DETAILS/TIMING...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER UPPER
TROF TO AFFECT THE AREA BY TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. WILL CONTINUE
WITH MODEST CHANCE POPS TUESDAY...LINGERING SOUTHEAST INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY. DECENT COOLING POTENTIAL BEHIND FRONT FOR MID-WEEK.

DARMOFAL

AVIATION...
18Z TAFS...WHILE VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF THE REST
OF THE AFTERNOON IN CENTRAL KANSAS AND INTO THE EVENING IN SOUTH
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS...A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS GOING TO
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. FOR NOW WILL
KEEP THE VCTS UNTIL WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA WHEN THE THUNDER WILL
AFFECT EACH TAF SITE. IFR CEILINGS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE BEHIND THE
THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE MORNING HOURS.
