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, 7.6 hours before the alert went out and 46 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.

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 Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 23, 10:16 AM EDT, 5 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 10:16 AM EDT, 5 hours 18 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. 70/DD && .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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
