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 tornado 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 24, 6:42 PM CDT, 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 24, 6:42 PM CDT, 27 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
642 PM CDT MON MAY 24 2010

.AVIATION...
WIDELY SCATTERED TSRA NEAR THE TERMINALS ARE EXPECTED TO DECLINE
IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE BY SUNSET. KCDS STANDS THE GREATEST
CHANCE OF PRECIP AS A +TSRAGR PASSES JUST SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL
EARLY THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE EXPECT SELY WINDS TO BE MAINTAINED
FOR THE DURATION OF THIS PERIOD WITH A WINDOW OF MVFR CIGS AT BOTH
TERMINALS BY EARLY TUE MORNING...POSSIBLY LOWERING TO IFR AT
LBB...BEFORE RETURNING TO VFR LATER IN THE MORNING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 333 PM CDT MON MAY 24 2010/

SHORT TERM...
SCATTERED TSTM DEVELOPMENT IS ONGOING EAST OF A NEARLY STATIONARY
DRYLINE RUNNING ROUGHLY ALONG I-27 TO LUBBOCK...THEN BENDING SW INTO
SRN TERRY COUNTY WHERE THE DRYLINE INTERSECTS AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
MOVING NW FROM STORM ACTIVITY IN THE PERMIAN BASIN...IN THIS SECTOR
THE DRYLINE/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WAS SLOWLY RETREATING TO THE NW.
CURRENTLY...THE STORMS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE AGAINST REMAINING CAP
BETWEEN 600-650 MB AS INDICATED ON KAMA 18Z SOUNDING. WE DO THINK
THAT BETWEEN NOW AND 8 PM OR SO THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST
ISOLATED CELLS TO BREACH THE CAP AND REALIZE CAPES UP TO ABOUT 3000
J/KG. SHEAR IS ON THE LOW SIDE...BUT BACKED SFC WINDS ARE RESULTING
IN MODEST SR-HELICITY AND THIS SHOULD INCREASE THIS EVENING AS
LOW-LVL WINDS BACK AND STRENGTHEN SO WILL MAINTAIN MENTION OF SVR IN
THE FCST.

TONIGHT...THE DRYLINE WILL RETREAT QUICKLY INTO EASTERN NM AND WE
EXPECT A RETURN OF LOW STRATUS ACROSS THE AREA. SW FLOW ALOFT AROUND
BROAD UPPER TROUGH TO OUR WEST SHOULD PRODUCE PERIODS OF ENHANCED
/ALTHOUGH MODEST/ ASCENT THROUGH THE NIGHT THAT MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO
GENERATE A FEW ELEVATED STORMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LOW-LEVEL
JET...THIS POTENTIAL WILL BE MAINLY ACROSS THE ROLLING PLAINS.
TUESDAY...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL SWING NEWD ACROSS NM...BRUSHING
WTX. WITH THE DRYLINE NEAR THE TX/NM BORDER...AFTERNOON TSTM CHANCES
SHOULD BE HIGHEST ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES. AGAIN...PROGS OF
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR AND INSTABILITY ARE SUFFICIENT FOR A CHANCE OF SVR
WX FROM ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY IN THE NW WHERE
SHEAR WILL BE STRONGEST. DUE TO GREATER STRATUS COVERAGE IN THE
MORNING AND DEEPER MOISTURE ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES...THEY SHOULD
NOT WARM UP AS MUCH ON TUE AND WE EXPECT HIGH TEMPS MAINLY IN THE
MID-80S AREAWIDE.

LONG TERM...
HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN OF RECENT DAYS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK WITH ONE NOTABLE DIFFERENCE...THE BLOCKING
RIDGE ACROSS THE ERN CONUS WILL BEGIN RETROGRADING BEFORE TAKING UP
RESIDENCE IN THE GREAT PLAINS BY FRI. UPSHOT OF THIS LOCALLY WILL BE
A DIMINISHING MID/UPPER TROPOSPHERIC FLOW WITH THE DRYLINE TAKING
REFUGE IN NM.

BEST CHANCE FOR WETTING RAINS APPEARS TO BE TUE EVENING AS MOST
MODELS SUGGEST LATE DAY TERRAIN-INDUCED CONVECTION IN NM POSSIBLY
AMPLIFYING INTO AN MCS AS THE LLJ EMERGES. PRESENCE OF RESPECTABLE
MID-LEVEL WINDS DURING THIS TIME WOULD FAVOR TRANSPORTING SOME OF
THIS ACTIVITY INTO OUR CWA...SO CHANCE POPS CONTINUE TUE NIGHT ON
THE CAPROCK. BEYOND THIS TIME PRECIP CHANCES ARE LESS CERTAIN AS
THE STEERING FLOW SLACKENS AND HEIGHTS GRADUALLY BUILD. PERSISTENT
SELY LL FLOW WOULD FAVOR LATE DAY TSRA ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
NM POSSIBLY THREATENING OUR WRN ZONES BY SUNSET EACH NIGHT. BUT
WILL KEEP THIS SCENARIO RELEGATED TO WED NIGHT FOR NOW AS
UNCERTAINTY BEYOND THIS TIME IS TOO GREAT. ALTHOUGH CAPPING IS
WEAK TO NON-EXISTENT ACROSS THE CWA DURING PEAK HEATING WED-
THU...LACK OF FOCUSED LIFT MAY PRECLUDE STORMS ESPECIALLY OFF THE
CAPROCK. HOWEVER...ANY PRE-EXISTING CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES COULD
CERTAINLY COMPENSATE FOR SYNOPTIC LIFT.

GFS/ECMWF/GEM ALL INDICATE THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE L/W RIDGE WILL
WEAR DOWN MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AS A PACIFIC TROF LIFTS NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. NORTHWARD DISPLACEMENT OF THIS TROF DOES
NOT INSPIRE MUCH CONFIDENCE IN ADDING PRECIP MENTION FOR SUCH A HIGH
VIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND...SO WILL KEEP PRECIP MENTION AT BAY EVEN THOUGH
THE DRYLINE WILL LIKELY MAKE A RETURN UNDER A DEEPENING SWLY FLOW.
