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.

NWS Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 23, 3:23 AM CDT, 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 3:23 AM CDT, 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
323 AM CDT MON JUN 23 2008

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENTLY...AREA PROFILERS SHOWING A STRONG 80KT 300MB JET CUTTING
ACROSS WESTERN MISSOURI DOWN TO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. NOT REALLY
SEEING THE LLVL JET ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AS CONWAY PROFILER
STILL OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. NEODESHA 925MB WINDS HAVE SWUNG
AROUND TO THE SOUTHWEST AT 20KTS...WHILE STRONGEST JET STILL BEING
OBSERVED OUT OVER NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AT LMNO2. WILL NEED TO
MONITOR LLVL JET AS IT IS EXPECTED TO NOSE INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI
EARLY THIS MORNING. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING EXTENDED TRAIN OF
THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHWEST MISSOURI EXTENDING NORTHWEST INTO
SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA ALONG A LINE OF STRONG LIFT DEPICTED ON RUC
305 AND 310K PRESSURE SURFACES. PRIMARY THREAT CONTINUES TO BE
LARGE HAIL.

TODAY...RUC SLOWLY MOVES THIS LIFT EASTWARD INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI
THROUGH NOON TIME TODAY. TRIED TO TIE POPS WITH THIS LIFT AND
RAISED POPS ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI TO REFLECT THIS. THINK BY
THIS AFTERNOON...ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BE WORKED OVER PRETTY GOOD.
COULD BE SOME CONTINUED BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS THIS AFTERNOON...SO
CONTINUED SLT CHC POPS. BY THIS EVENING...WRF HINTING AT POSSIBLY
ANOTHER MCS DEVELOPING OVER NORTHEAST KANSAS AND THEN TRACKING
ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI. HAVE INCREASED POPS FOR THIS AREA TO
REFLECT THIS POSSIBILITY.

BY TUESDAY...THE FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR TUESDAY WILL BE HIGHLY
DEPENDANT ON WHAT HAPPENS THOUGH WITH THE TUESDAY MORNING MCS AND
LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THIS CLOSELY. MODELS SHOWING A
STRONG SOUTHWEST LLVL JET THAT SHOULD FORCE THE BOUNDARY THATS
BEEN OVER THE AREA NORTH INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE A TOUGH TIME WITH POPS THROUGH
THE DAY ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. WRF IS SHOWING CAPES AROUND 2000 J/KG
ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MISSOURI ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND I
HAVE INCREASED POPS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES TO REFLECT THIS AND
WILL HIGHLIGHT SEVERE POTENTIAL IN HWO WHEN I ISSUE IT THIS
MORNING. DOES LOOK LIKE A FAIRLY STRONG SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS
NORTHERN MISSOURI TUESDAY EVENING.

CONTINUE TO UNDERCUT MOS TEMPERATURE FORECASTS THROUGH MID WEEK
WITH ALL THE MOISTURE WE HAVE RECEIVED. MOS HAS BEEN RUNNING WARM
FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS...DO NOT SEE ANY REASON FOR IT TO CHANGE
ANYTIME SOON. WILL KEEP SOME MENTION OF POPS GOING THROUGH THE
WEEK AS MODELS HAVING TOUGH TIME WILL MINOR SHORTWAVES MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA.

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 06Z TAFS...CONVECTION GETTING GOING ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS
AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. WENT AHEAD AND ADDED SOME TEMPO IFR TO THE
JLN TAFS TO REFLECT INCREASING CONVECTIVE COVERAGE OUT THAT WAY. AS
FOR SGF...LOOKS LIKE CONVECTION MAY STAY WEST AND SOUTH OF THE
AIRFIELD...BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH RADAR TRENDS CLOSELY.
