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 watch it was issued in
The SPC watch in force over the same counties when this warning went out.

POSITIONS OF UPPER HIGH OVER LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND UPPER LOW OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST HAS LEFT US IN NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...ALLOWING IMPULSES BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEMS TO TRACK RIGHT OVER OUR AREA. WITH THIS...INCREASING CAPES TO OVER 3000 J/KG...AND WEAK BOUNDARY SITTING ACROSS THE AREA...CANNOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON. LAPSE RATES AND LEVELS OF DRY VS. MOIST AIR ON 12Z KFFC SOUNDING INDICATE THAT DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT... BUT WITH MORNING INVERSIONS RIGHT AT 0C AND -20C AND SOME WEAK COOLING ALOFT AS THE UPPER LOW SPINS OVER THE OCEAN...CANNOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF LARGE HAIL AS WELL ESPECIALLY AS THE INTERMITTENT IMPULSES MOVE OVER THE AREA. RIDGE/TROUGH AMPLITUDE WILL INCREASE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO... PUSHING THE FLOW EVEN MORE NORTHERLY (AN ANOMALY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR). THIS WILL BEGIN PUSHING THE POPS A LITTLE MORE TO THE WEST AND EVENTUALLY FURTHER SOUTH BY WEDNESDAY AS A GENERAL SURFACE WEAKNESS DEVELOPS OVER THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE. IN GENERAL...CANNOT RULE OUT POPS JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM BUT HAVE BACKED OFF A BIT LATE WEDNESDAY AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN TOWARD THE LOWER APPALACHIANS AND TROUGH AXIS PUSHES SOUTH TOWARD FLORIDA. CONTINUED TO TAKE A BIAS-ADJUSTED MAV/MET BLEND FOR TEMPERATURES...LEANING TOWARD THE MET AS MAV HAS BEEN MUCH TOO COOL THE LAST SEVERAL NIGHTS. .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... RIDGE AXIS BEGINS BUILDING BACK IN FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDING...BRINGING WEAK NORTHWESTERLY FLOW BACK TO THE AREA. UPPER TROUGH PUSHES A WEEK FRONT THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST ON FRIDAY...INCREASING POPS AND THUNDER CHANCES. THIS WEAK FRONT PUSHES OUT BY SATURDAY BUT WE ARE LEFT WITH VERY WEAK FLOW ALOFT THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND. NOT A WHOLE LOT OF AGREEMENT ON THE FINAL DETAILS OF THE EXTENDED BETWEEN THE GFS/ECMWF/UKMET FOR THE END OF THE EXTENDED THOUGH THEY SEEM TO HINT AT ANOTHER UPPER LOW ROTATING AROUND THE HIGH AND POSSIBLY BRINGING ANOTHER WEAK FRONT INTO THE REGION BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.
