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.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 17, 9:16 PM CDT, 5 hours 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
916 PM CDT MON MAR 17 2008

.DISCUSSION...
EVENING FORECAST HAS PROGRESSED ABOUT AS EXPECTED AND
CURRENTLY SEE NO REASON TO UPDATE THE FORECAST AT THIS
TIME.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS WIDELY VARIABLE WITH MANY AREAS NOT RECEIVING
MUCH AT ALL BUT SOME SMALL AREAS AFFECTED BY TRAINING STORMS HAVE
MEASURED OVER AN INCH AND RADAR ESTIMATES HAVE INDICATED AS MUCH
AS NEAR 2 INCHES SO FAR THIS EVENING.

SOME THUNDERSTORMS DEFINITELY BEAR WATCHING
AND STILL A TORNADO THREAT. SEVERE THREAT WILL DIMINISH
AS THE NIGHT GOES ON AND WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY SIGNIFICANT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 341 PM CDT MON MAR 17 2008/

DISCUSSION...
DANGEROUS FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS/LARGE STREAMS AND
RIVERS POSSIBLE NEXT OF COUPLE DAYS.

IN THE SHORT TERM...INITIAL CONVECTION EVOLVING LATE
AFTERNOON OR EVENING WILL HAVE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
TO BE SEVERE GIVEN SHEAR PARAMETERS. CONVECTION WILL
THEN TRANSITION  INTO A LARGE AREA OF HEAVY RAIN AND
SCATTERED THUNDER.

EXTREMELY WET PERIOD ON TAP FOR THE NEXT 36-48 HOURS.
RATHER SATURATED GROUND WILL INSURE COPIOUS RAINFALL
RUNOFF.   MODERATE FLOODING OF STREAMS / SOME RIVERS
NEARLY CERTAIN.  MAJOR RIVER FLOODING ON SOME RIVERS
PROBABLE.  AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE THE AREAS MOST
VULNERABLE FOR FLOODING INCLUDE...SOUTHEAST AND EAST
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AS WELL AS WEST CENTRAL / NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS.  IN THAT AREA UPWARDS OF SIX INCHES PRECIP
POSSIBLE.  FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 12Z WEDNESDAY.

SIGNIFICANT UPPER LOW WILL MIGRATE FARTHER SOUTHEAST
OVERNIGHT INTO MEXICO... THEN TURN NORTHEAST TUESDAY
REACHING AROUND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WEDNESDAY MORNING.
PACIFIC MOISTURE IN ADVANCE OF UPPER LOW WILL COUPLE
WITH  LOWER LEVEL GULF MOISTURE FOR PRECIPITABLE H2O
VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1.50 OVER SEVERAL PERIODS. LARGE
SCALE OMEGA AND SEVERAL IMPULSES MOVING ACROSS/ALONG
SURFACE TROUGH STRETCHING... FROM EASTERN TEXAS INTO
ARKANSAS/CENTRAL MISSOURI COMPLETES THE WET PICTURE.

DISCUSSION...
COMPLEX SURFACE SYSTEM OVER THE REGION WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE AREAS OF
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT. SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES WITH
WIND AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE MOST LIKELY THREATS BUT SHEAR VALUES ARE
SUFFICIENT FOR DISCREET SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS THAT COULD CAUSE A
TORNADO. THE THREAT OF SURFACE BASED STORMS WILL DIMINISH LATE TONIGHT
AND HEAVY RAIN BECOMES MORE LIKELY AS A LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES
MOISTURE TRANSPORT OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
INCREASE TO 1.5 INCHES AND WITH LOW LEVEL JET FEEDING ADDITIONAL
MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH...WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY TO FORM
OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION LIKELY NEEDED.

TUESDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...NO HAZARDS.
THURSDAY...NO HAZARDS.
FRIDAY...NO HAZARDS.
SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORM EVENT WILL BE ONGOING TUESDAY
MORNING. THIS EVENT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF TUESDAY AND
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. RAINFALL TOTALS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES WILL BE COMMON
ALONG AND TO THE EAST OF INTERSTATE 44. LESSER AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO
THE NORTH AND WEST. SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IS EXPECTED.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA BUT RAIN WILL
CONTINUE BEHIND THIS FRONT AND GRADUALLY END FROM THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT ON SATURDAY WILL BRING THE NEXT CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS.
