The Melbourne radar (KMLB), 120 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:43 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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, 8.7 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.

OCCURRING ACROSS AREA. OPTIMAL INGREDIENTS ALL FALLING INTO PLACE
THIS AFTERNOON FOR NUMEROUS STORMS. ENOUGH EWD STEERING ALOFT SPARED
MOST AREAS FROM NUISANCE FLOODING AND THE DRY GROUND HAS BEEN ABLE
TO RECEIVE THE BULK OF THE HEAVY RAIN. CURRENT ACTIVITY TRANSLATING
ACROSS THE COAST AND POTENTIAL FOR STRONG STORMS WILL DIMINISH DUE
TO AIRMASS LARGELY WORKED OVER WITH OUTFLOWS. WILL KEEP SCT PCPN
IN FORECAST THIS EVENING WITH A FEW EMBEDDED STORMS BEFORE AROUND
10 PM. SHOWERS SHOULD END ALL AREAS BY MIDNIGHT.

SUNDAY...ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS EXPECTED ACROSS AREA AS SETUP
REMAINS IN PLACE WITH RIDGE AXIS SOUTH OF THE REGION AND DEEP

STILL INDICATING 500MB VORT MAX PUSHING ACROSS THE AREA EARLY SUN
WHICH WILL HELP GENERATE LIKELY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE AREA. VORT MAX WILL LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST SUN NIGHT WITH SW
FLOW CONTINUING OVER THE CWA INTO MON WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER POPS
MENTIONED DUE TO LOSS OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. HOWEVER STILL PLENTY
OF MOISTURE OVER THE AREA AND FAVORABLE FLOW REGIME TO KEEP 40/50
POPS IN THE FORECAST.

TUE-WED...EASTERN CONUS TROUGH WILL PUSH TO THE EAST TUES WITH HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS AT THE SURFACE BEGINNING A NORTHWARD PUSH ACROSS
THE AREA. AXIS WILL BE NORTH OF THE AREA BY WED WITH AN ONSHORE FLOW
DEVELOPING. PLENTY OF MOISTURE WILL EXIST OVER THE AREA TO CONTINUE
A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON.
