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, Jun 23, 3:34 PM CDT, 46 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
334 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2009

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ONGOING EXTREME INSTABILITY AND SEVERE CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE THIS
EVENING. SOME THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WITH TRAINING CELLS...WILL
BE LETTING THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE HEAT ADV EXPIRE AT 7 PM WITH
THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING AND EXTENSION OF THE HEAT ADVISORY
CONTINUING OVER THE SOUTH FOR THE REMAINDER OF TNT AND WED. BOUNDARY
MAY REFIRE STORMS LATE TONIGHT THOUGH WITH SOME LESSENING OF
INSTABILITY OVERNIGHT...HAVE TRIMMED POPS BACK UNTIL AFT 06Z WHEN
SOME RETURN FLOW MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL STORMS AT THAT TIME.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
KIND OF A SIMILAR PATTERN WEDNESDAY AS TODAY. THERE MAY BE AN
EXITING MCS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST IN THE EARLY MORNING...THEN THERE
SHOULD BE ANOTHER MCS MOVING INTO NW IA DURING THE LATER MORNING
AND MOVING/DEVELOPING EAST AND SOUTHEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON.
COLD FRONT WILL BE DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE CWA DURING THE AFTN
AND WILL ADD TO THE LOW LEVEL FORCING...THOUGH CONVERGENCE ON THE
WEAKER SIDE. THOUGH THERE IS SOME CONCERN ABOUT HOW CONVECTIVE
OUTFLOWS MAY IMPACT MAGNITUDE OF INSTABILITY...STILL APPEARS THAT
WE WILL BE SUFFICIENTLY UNSTABLE TO PROMOTE AND SUSTAIN STRONG AND
POTENTIALLY SEVERE CONVECTION AT ANY TIME INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
RAINFALL RATES WILL BE HIGH GIVEN THE ABNORMALLY HIGH PWAT LEVELS
AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE IN AREAS THAT
RECEIVE REPEATED THUNDERSTORMS. WILL PROBABLY HAVE ONE MORE MCS TO
DEAL WITH OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY...BEFORE
THE FRONT IS FINALLY SUPPRESSED TO OUR SOUTH AND WE GET A COUPLE
OF DAYS OF DRY AND COOLER WEATHER.

REGARDING THE HEAT...HAVE CONTINUED EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL IOWA SOUTH OF I-80. HOWEVER...THERE
IS SOME UNCERTAINTY...ESPECIALLY ON THE NORTH AND EAST EDGE OF
THIS WARNING THAT CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS FROM TONIGHT MAY NOT ALLOW
TEMPS AND RH LEVELS TO COMBINE FOR THE 110 HEAT INDEX THAT WE ARE
EXPECTING. HOWEVER...IF THE OUTFLOWS ARE OVERCOME...THEN IT SEEMS
REASONABLE THAT THE AIRMASS SOUTH OF THE FRONT WILL BE AS HOT AND
HUMID AS IT WAS TODAY.

NEXT PERIOD OF CONCERN IS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WHEN ANOTHER
500 MB TROUGH PASSES TO OUR NORTH AND A SURFACE COOL FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. HAVE GONE WITH THE BETTER CHANCES NORTHERN HALF...CLOSER
TO UPPER LEVEL FORCING. UNCERTAINY ABOUNDS EARLY NEXT WEEK AS GFS
SENDS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL WAVE ACROSS THE NRN CONUS...BUT THE EC
AND GFS ENSEMBLE MAINTAIN THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS TO OUR WEST.
HAVE JUST VERY LOW POPS MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...AND MAINLY IN THE
NORTH.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THAN CURRENT
LEVELS...GENERALLY AROUND NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...23/18Z
LINE OF CONVECTION NOW MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN AREAS AND WILL
IMPACT KFOD...KMCW...AND KALO FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HAVE ADDED
VRB25G40KT GUSTS WITH TSRA EXPECTED AS THE LINE PASSES EAST. PSBL TO
SEE 50KT GUSTS WITH SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS. FARTHER
SOUTH...STORMS NOT AS LIKELY EARLY ON BUT CONTINUED CHANCES FOR SOME
THUNDER AT KDSM DURING THE 20-22Z PERIOD THIS AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT
TNT ANOTHER CHANCE FOR STORMS AND WILL LEAVE FOR EVENING SHIFT TO
PIN DOWN MOST FAVORED AREAS...THOUGH NORTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS LOOK
TO BE MOST FAVORABLE AT PRESENT./REV
