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.

The nearest sounding before it

Miami, FL (KMFL), launched 00:00Z, 11.1 hours before the alert went out and 16 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, Jan 25, 4:38 AM EST, 1 hour 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
438 AM EST MON JAN 25 2010

.DISCUSSION...
COLD FRONT MAKING STEADY SOUTHEASTWARD PROGRESS OVER NORTH CENTRAL
FLORIDA AND THE EASTERN GULF EARLY THIS MORNING, WITH A SQUALL LINE
JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWEST FROM THE TAMPA BAY AREA
TO THE OFFSHORE GULF WATERS. OVER LAND, DEWPOINTS NEAR 70 ALONG WITH
IMPRESSIVE SHEAR PROFILES ACTING ON JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO
PRODUCE BANDS OF SHOWERS MOVING NORTH ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. MAIN
CONCERN WITH THESE PRE-FRONTAL SHOWERS IS WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH AND
WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS IN STATEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS. THE SQUALL LINE WILL MOVE ONSHORE THE SOUTHWEST GULF COAST
AROUND MID MORNING AND MOVE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF SOUTH FLORIDA
INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT MOST OF
THE SEVERE LEVEL THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF AREA AS
MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS OVER LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BEGINS
TO LIFT OUT TO THE NE AND AWAY FROM SOUTH FLORIDA. NEVERTHELESS,
STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS IN THE 40-50 KT RANGE ALONG WITH
CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SUPPORT A BAND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS AS HIGH
AS 40 TO 50 MPH IN THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY. WILL WORD THE ZONES AND
THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK ACCORDINGLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE
STRONG WIND GUSTS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL CLEAR THE PENINSULA BETWEEN 2 AND 4 PM WITH
PRECIP GRADUALLY ENDING AND SKIES CLEARING. MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES RETURN TO SOUTH FLORIDA TONIGHT AS CONTINENTAL AIR
MASS BEHIND THE FRONT SWEEPS IN. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN ABOUT 5 TO
10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OFF THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST WEDNESDAY,
BRINGING ABOUT A SHIFT TO NE WINDS AND A GRADUAL WARMING WHICH
WILL LAST THROUGH FRIDAY.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE DOWN THE STATE ON SATURDAY,
WITH GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IN MOVING THE
FRONT THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA LATE IN THE DAY ON SATURDAY ALONG WITH
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. COOLER AGAIN ON SUNDAY, WITH THE ECMWF
SHOWING MORE COOLING THAN THE GFS. FOR THE TIME BEING WILL
INDICATE TEMPS SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL NORMS AND HAVE PLENTY OF
TIME TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AS NECESSARY.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG S TO SW WINDS WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE AND
COLD FRONT TODAY, WITH WINDS DECREASING FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE. NORTH WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT TUESDAY WILL BE IN THE 15
KNOT RANGE AND LIKELY NOT REQUIRE SMALL CRAFT HEADLINES BEYOND
TONIGHT. WINDS COME AROUND TO THE NORTHEAST BEGINNING ON WEDNESDAY
AND CONTINUE TO VEER TO SE BY FRIDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DRIER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTINENTAL AIR MASS WILL DROP
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES TO NEAR CRITICAL LEVELS OVER THE WESTERN
HALF OF SOUTH FLORIDA TUESDAY. RIGHT NOW IT IS MARGINAL AT BEST
THAT WE WILL SEE RED FLAG CONDITIONS, BUT TRENDS HAVE BEEN
POINTING AT DRIER CONDITIONS AND LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO
REEVALUATE THE RED FLAG THREAT. SLOWLY MODERATING RH VALUES ON
WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND AS WINDS TURN TO EASTERLY DIRECTION.
