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

Miami, FL (KMFL), launched 12:00Z, 6.7 hours before the alert went out and 145 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 10:16 AM EDT, 4 hours 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
1016 AM EDT MON JUN 23 2008

.UPDATE...
WILL MAKE ESSENTIALLY NO CHANGES TO THE FIRST PERIOD FORECAST IN
THIS UPDATE...WITH A CONVECTIVE PATTERN SIMILAR TO RECENT DAYS
EXPECTED TO EVOLVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ONCE AGAIN TODAY. DATA
FROM THE 12Z KMFL RAOB SUGGEST A NORTHEASTWARD STORM MOTION FOR
BOTH ACTIVITY DEVELOPING ALONG THE INLAND MOVING ATLANTIC COAST
SEA BREEZE...AS WELL AS GULF COAST SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY APPROACHING
FROM THE WEST COAST. HIGHEST POPS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE FROM THE
LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGION SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD COASTAL BROWARD
COUNTY...AND SEE NO REASON TO MAKE CHANGES AT THIS TIME.
THERMODYNAMIC INSTABILITY PARAMETERS POINT TO A MODERATE THREAT
FOR WIND/HAIL WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS THIS AFTERNOON...AND THIS
HAS ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED IN AN UPDATED HWOMFL. WILL MAKE MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO HOURLY TEMPERATURE/DEW POINT/SKY COVER GRIDS TO
BRING THEM IN LINE WITH CURRENT TRENDS. UPDATED PRODUCTS WILL BE
ISSUED SHORTLY.

.AVIATION DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 724 AM EDT MON JUN 23 2008/

AVIATION...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOPED AGAIN LATE THIS MORNING
OVER THE INTERIOR AREAS AND PUSH NORTHEAST INTO THE EAST COAST
TAF SITES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...DUE TO THE STEERING FLOW
FROM THE SOUTHWEST. SO WILL SHOW VCSH FOR THE EAST COAST TAF SITES
FROM 14Z AND 17Z...THAN VCTS FROM 17Z UNTIL 00Z...BEFORE GOING
BACK TO VCSH FROM 00Z UNTIL 02Z. APF TAF SITE WILL ONLY HAVE VCSH
FROM 13Z UNTIL 16Z...AS MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE EAST OF THE
APF TAF SITE AFTER 16Z.

THE VIS AND CEILINGS WILL REMAIN IN THE VFR CONDITIONS AT THIS
TIME FOR TODAY...DUE TO THE UNKNOWN TIME WHEN THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE EAST COAST TAF SITES. SO WILL ADMIN
THE EAST COAST TAF SITES LATER TODAY WHEN NEED BE FOR THE CEILINGS
AND VIS.

AVIATION...54/BNB

DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 512 AM EDT MON JUN 23 2008/

DISCUSSION...
LATEST SUITE OF GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO DOWNPLAY THE POTENTIAL FOR
CONVECTION TODAY...MAINLY FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF SOUTH FLORIDA.
BUT RECENT ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE POTENTIAL FOR ACTIVE
CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE TODAY ACROSS THE REGION...INCLUDING THE
EAST COAST METRO AREAS. FACTORS THAT WILL INFLUENCE POTENTIAL FOR
CONVECTION TODAY INCLUDE THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CENTERED IN
THE WESTERN GULF AND EXTENDING ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...
PWATS FORECAST TO BE NEAR 1.8 INCHES...FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE
THE CAPE IN THE AFTERNOON WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION AND 500
MB TEMPS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE FAVORABLE. IN ADDITION...THE
ORIENTATION OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHOULD ENHANCE AFTERNOON
UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A WEAK MID TO UPPER
LEVEL SHORT WAVE IN THE EASTERN GULF WEST OF THE PENINSULA.
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN REMAINS FAVORABLE AS STORM MOTION SHOULD
BE SLOW. THE VERTICAL WIND PROFILE...SOUTHEASTERLY AT LOW LEVELS
AND MORE WESTERLY MID TO UPPER LEVELS...SHOULD FAVOR CONVECTION IN
THE EARLY AFTERNOON IN THE INTERIOR AND AS THE DAY PROGRESSES
CONVECTION WILL START TO SHIFT MORE TO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
PENINSULA. OVERALL...WENT ABOVE LATEST GUIDANCE FOR EASTERN HALF
OF PENINSULA FOR POPS FOR REASONS OUTLINED ABOVE.

GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION. IN ADDITION...GUIDANCE
INDICATES THAT MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE EAST OF
THE WINDWARD ISLANDS MAY APPROACH THE AREA BY MID-WEEK. THERE IS A
SURGE IN THE EASTERLIES IN THE VICINITY OF THE WAVE. GUIDANCE
INDICATED NUMEROUS SHOWERS POSSIBLE BY WEDNESDAY...BUT ONLY
FORECAST SCATTERED SHOWERS UNTIL TIMING BECOMES MORE CERTAIN AS
THERE WAS SOME DISAGREEMENT AMONG THE SUITE OF MODELS ABOUT WHEN
THE MOISTURE MAY PASS THROUGH THE REGION.

MARINE...
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS FORECAST TO
STRENGTHEN ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS...WITH WINDS IN THE 10 TO 15
KNOT RANGE EXPECTED AND POSSIBLY EVEN 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH
ASSOCIATED INCREASE IN LOCAL SEAS.

FIRE WEATHER...
NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS EXCEPT FOR POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION TODAY
ACROSS EXISTING BURN AREAS.

THUNDERSTORMS: NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF
NORTHERN INTERIOR AND NORTHEAST SECTIONS OF MAINLAND SOUTH FLORIDA ONCE
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON, WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER REST OF
SOUTH FLORIDA. THE PRIMARY HAZARD EXPECTED WITH THESE STORMS WILL
BE STRONG GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL...FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE
LIGHTNING STRIKES...AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

MPH MAINLY OVER THE NORTHERN INTERIOR AND NORTHEAST AREAS OF SOUTH
FLORIDA, WHERE THE SEA BREEZES AND LAKE BREEZE COLLIDE.

HAIL: THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS COOL TODAY OVER

PRODUCE HAIL UP TO PENNY SIZE MAINLY OVER THE NORTHERN INTERIOR
AND NORTHEAST AREAS OF SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY WHERE THE SEA BREEZES

MOVEMENT OF ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS TODAY. THIS, IN TURN, WILL
RESULT IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL, LEADING TO PONDING OF WATER IN
POORLY DRAINED LOCATIONS.

VISIBILITY: A MIXTURE OF SMOKE AND FOG TO THE IMMEDIATE WEST OF
SMOLDERING WILDFIRES AROUND THE WESTERN EDGE OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE MAY
RESULT IN VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS TO ONE MILE OR LESS LATE TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

THERE IS A CHANCE OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS

WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD, WITH ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER NOT
