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

Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 12:00Z, 2.3 hours before the alert went out and 116 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, Mar 24, 4:01 AM CDT, 5 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
401 AM CDT TUE MAR 24 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ACTIVE WEATHER WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO
THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND.

SEVERAL LINE SEGMENTS OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS CONTINUE OVER NE OK
THIS MORNING...AHEAD OF COLD FRONT THAT CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM SERN
KS INTO SWRN OK. WHILE INSTABILITY ISNT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE ACROSS THE
REGION...THESE STORMS SHOULD MAINTAIN STRENGTH OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS AS A 50-60KT SWLY LOW-LEVEL JET PERSISTS INTO THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS. ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING MAY OCCUR LATER THIS MORNING
AND INTO THE AFTERNOON AS SURFACE HEATING ENSUES...WITH THE SEVERE
THREAT SHIFTING INTO SE OK AND WRN AR. WILL TAKE A LAST LOOK AT
RADAR TRENDS BEFORE DECIDING ON FIRST PERIOD POPS.

AFTER A COOL NIGHT...THE COLD FRONT TO OUR S WILL BEGIN TO LIFT BACK
N AS A WARM FRONT AS ANOTHER FAST MOVING UPPER WAVE EJECTS INTO THE
PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY. HAVE FOLLOWED THE MORE PROGRESSIVE SOLUTION OF
THE GFS...AS THE NAM APPEARS TOO SLOW AND DEEP WITH THE
AFOREMENTIONED WAVE. HAVE GONE WITH HIGH CHANCE POPS AREAWIDE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND LATER SHIFTS CAN BETTER DEFINE THE POPS.

FORECAST BECOMES INCREASINGLY INTERESTING TOWARD THE END OF THE
WEEK...AS A STRONG UPPER SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DROP OUT OF THE
PACIFIC NW AND DEEPEN ACROSS THE ROCKIES BY THURSDAY. GFS/ECMWF AND
GEM MODELS ARE ALL IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH THE LATITUDINAL
TRACK OF THE CLOSED LOW...WITH ONLY MINOR TIMING DIFFERENCES NOTED
AS THE SYSTEM EJECTS ACROSS OK ON FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS TRACK
APPEARS FAVORABLE FOR SOME EARLY SPRING SNOW ACROSS PARTS OF
KS/MO...AND POSSIBLY INTO NE OK/NW AR. NOT READY TO BITE ON THE 2-4
INCHES OF SNOW SUGGESTED BY THE GFS ACROSS FAR NERN OK...BUT WILL
MAINTAIN A RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING FOR
NE OK/NW AR. WILL CONTINUE TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE SITUATION.

AFTER ANOTHER COOL DAY ON SATURDAY...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BOUNCE BACK
ON SUNDAY AS STRONG SLY FLOW RETURNS.

THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR INTERSTATE 44 AROUND 7 AM AND STRETCH FROM
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS TO EXTREME SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AROUND 1 PM. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND WIND. STRONG WIND
FIELDS AND RESULTANT SHEAR COULD PRODUCE BRIEF ISOLATED TORNADOES. LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN AREAS OF REPEAT THUNDERSTORMS. SHOULD THE COLD FRONT SLOW
DOWN...STORMS OVER WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WILL POSE
A GREATER THREAT THIS AFTERNOON.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE UNSETTLED. THE FRONT WILL START BACK NORTH LATE
WEDNESDAY AS A WARM FRONT...WHICH COULD IGNITE ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS.
A POTENT UPPER LOW DROPPING SOUTH FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES INTO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS FRIDAY WILL BRING A THUNDERSTORM THREAT LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. COLD
AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SYSTEM MAY PRODUCE A RAIN SNOW MIX FOR AREAS
NEAR THE KANSAS OR MISSOURI BORDERS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. SIGNIFICANT
SNOW IS LIKELY NORTH OF OUR AREA. SHOULD THIS SYSTEM TAKE A MORE SOUTHERN
ROUTE...CHANCES INCREASE FOR MEASURABLE SNOW IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS.
