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 St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jan 29, 11:26 AM CST, 1 hour 59 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 29, 11:26 AM CST, 1 hour 59 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1126 AM CST TUE JAN 29 2008

.UPDATE...
NEW RECORD HIGH FOR KSTL...70F...OLD WAS 67F (1988).

STORMS BEGINNING TO FIRE AHEAD OF VERY POWERFUL COLD FRONT...AND
TORNADO WATCH IS BEING PLANNED BY FORECASTERS AND SPC AS I TYPE
THIS.

ATTENTION...THESE STORMS WILL BE RACING TO THE NORTHEAST AT
GREATER THAN 60 MPH...WHICH WILL GIVE PEOPLE LITTLE TIME TO REACT.
THE MAIN THREAT SHOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS...BUT A FEW TORNADOES
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH SUCH A STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT.

FRONT STILL ON TRACK...ON DOORSTEP OF COLUMBIA MISSOURI AND
POISED TO CROSS THE ST. LOUIS METROPOLITAN AREA BETWEEN 2 AND 3
PM. TEMPERATURE WILL DROP MORE THAN 30 DEGREES WITH THE FROPA.

CVKING

&&

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN WX STORY WILL REVOLVE AROUND TWO ITEMS. THE FIRST IS SYSTEM
TO AFFECT THE AREA PRIMARILY TODAY...AND WILL LIKELY CARRY A BIT
INTO THIS EVENING. A VERY STRONG CDFNT WILL SWEEP THRU THE AREA
TODAY...MAINLY BETWEEN 18Z AND 00Z AND RESULT IN AN ENORMOUS TEMP
DROP WHEN IT PASSES THRU...OF 30-40F IN MOST LOCATIONS...MOSTLY
WITHIN THE SPAN OF ABOUT 4 HOURS. AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE
UNSEASONABLY WARM AND MOIST AIR...WITH TEMPS FROM 55 TO 60...AND
DEWPOINTS FROM 50 TO 55. ADD IN THE VERY SHARP CDFNT...A STRONG
MID LEVEL TROF...A LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 160KT H300 JET BY
MIDDAY...AND ONE HAS THE INGREDIENTS FOR EXPLOSIVE PCPN
DEVELOPMENT BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON JUST AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...WHICH SHOULD BE JUST THRU THE KUIN AND KCOU AREAS BY THAT
TIME. P-TYPE WILL BE SHRA/TSRA AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WHERE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY WILL EXIST WITH FAVORABLE SHEAR AND DEEP LIFT. HIGH
WINDS JUST OFF THE GROUND...WHERE KMDH HAD 47KT GUSTS JUST FROM A
LIGHT SHOWER...WILL ENABLE ANY CONVECTION TO NOT HAVE TO WORK TOO
HARD TO MIX DOWN SEVERE CRITERIA GUSTS...THUS THE SLIGHT RISK FOR
SVR STMS IS JUSTIFIED FOR AREAS AROUND THE STL METRO AREA AND PTS
TO THE S AND E. NOT FAR BEHIND THE FRONT...PCPN WILL CHANGE TO
SNOW...AND PERHAPS SLEET FOR A BRIEF PERIOD AS SHALLOW ARCTIC AIR
UNDERCUTS AIR THAT IS NOT COOLING AS RAPIDLY...CREATING A BRIEF
PERIOD WHERE A WARM WEDGE OF AIR ALOFT WILL EXIST. SNOW AMOUNTS
WILL BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE...WITH UP TO AN INCH POSSIBLE IN THE
NWRN FA...WITH A DUSTING POSSIBLE ELSWHERE. SNOW WILL RAPIDLY COME
TO AN END EARLY THIS EVENING.

OTHER BIG ITEM TODAY IS WIND. WIND SPEEDS OF 20 TO 30MPH WILL BE
COMMON...AND ONCE CDFNT PUSHES THRU...SHEAR STRENGTH OF CAA AND
BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL CREATE POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS TO 45MPH.
WINDS WILL TAKE ALL NIGHT BEFORE DIMINISHING...BUT NOT BEFORE
PUSHING WIND CHILL VALUES TO 10 BELOW IN THE NRN FA LATE TONIGHT.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE SNOW STORM SLATED FOR LATE THIS WEEK.
MODELS CONTINUE TO MAKE THEIR MINOR ADJUSTMENTS ON TRACKS...WHILE
THE SYSTEM ITSELF IS STILL OVER THE NRN PACIFIC. THEREFORE...ANY
ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE FORECAST WERE CONSERVATIVE IN NATURE UNTIL
THE NOAM UPPER AIR NETWORK CAN GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THIS. THE
MODEL TRENDS ARE THUS...THE NAM CONTINUES TO BE THE FURTHEST S ON
TRACK...WITH THE GFS CONT TO SLOLY TREND MORE SLY ON ITS TRACK.
NAM/GFS REMAIN THE FASTEST ON FORWARD SPEED...BUT THE ECWMF...BY
FAR THE MOST CONSISTENT MODEL ON THIS SYSTEM OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS...HAS SPED UP ITS FORWARD SPEED AS WELL TO MORE CLOSELY MATCH
THE NAM/GFS. THESE TRENDS ALL SUGGEST THAT MODELS ARE COMING MORE
CLOSELY IN LINE WITH THE MORE SLY NAM TRACK. THIS WILL KEEP THE
BULK OF THE GOOD SNOW CHANCES TO THE S...AND LIMIT WHAT SNOW CAN
LINGER THRU FRIDAY...BUT THE 00Z ECWMF STILL STUBBORNLY SUGGESTS
SIGNIFICANT SNOW FOR THE CNTRL/SRN FA DURING THIS TIMEFRAME...AND
WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE IT WEIGHT IN THE FORECAST.

TES

&&

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...
POWERFUL COLD FRONT WILL RACE EAST...WITH STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS
ON BOTH SIDES. IN FACT...KSGF JUST GUSTED TO 39KTS AHEAD OF FRONT.
THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH
IFR CEILINGS AND SNOW BAND TO SPREAD EAST ACROSS TAF SITES THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ONLY INCLUDED BLOWING SNOW AT KCOU AND KUIN
AT THIS TIME. CONDITIONS TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE LATE THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT.
