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
Chatham, MA (KCHH), launched 12:00Z, 9.6 hours before the alert went out and 117 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, Jul 8, 4:00 PM EDT, 1 hour 33 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 400 PM EDT WED JUL 8 2009 .SYNOPSIS... LOW PRESSURE NEAR THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST WILL DEPART SOUTHWARD TONIGHT.

THE STRONGER SHEAR IS FORECAST TO SHIFT S OF THE COAST THIS EVENING. THROUGH REST OF AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...FOCUS FOR CONVECTION MAY SHIFT SLIGHTLY FURTHER SOUTH...BUT LOWER KI VALUES SHOULD KEEP MOST OF THE ACTIVTY NORTH OF THE SOUTH COAST.

THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES AMONGST THE MODELS IN THE LOCATION OF THE LOW PRESSURE AND IN THE GENERAL PATTERN BEYOND. BOTH THE 12Z GFS AND THE 00Z ECMWF HAVE A LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION MIDWEEK. HOWEVER...THE GFS IS MUCH MORE PRORESSIVE...MOVING THE LOW ACROSS QUEBEC ON WEDNESDAY WHILE THE ECMWF MOVES IT THROUGH ON THURSDAY. SINCE THIS IS 7 TO 8 DAYS OUT...WILL MAKE FEW IF ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FOR THOSE DAYS. SO FOR THE DETAILS...FRIDAY WILL BE A NICE DAY...MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGH PRESSURE DOMINANT AND HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY 5 TO 8 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY COULD SEE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

SCATTERED TSTMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS INTERIOR AND MAY AFFECT KBAF/KBDL...WHILE TSTMS FARTHER E MAY REACH KORH/KPVD BEFORE SUNSET.
