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.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 314 PM MDT SUN JUN 6 2010/

SHORT TERM...

..SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE ALONG I-25 THIS EVENING...
..VERY HOT AND DRIER ON MONDAY...

AIR MASS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA HAS BECOME VERY UNSTABLE THIS
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND JUST WEST OF I-25 WHERE LAPS AND
SPC ANALYSIS SUGGEST CAPES IN THE 2000-3000 J/KG RANGE. STILL SOME
CIN ON THE PLAINS AND LOWER ARKANSAS VALLEY AT 20Z...THOUGH QUICK
LOOK OUTSIDE SUGGESTS CAP IS BREAKING ALONG THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS
SLOPES AS NUMEROUS TCU HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP. FAIRLY STRONG TSRA
ALREADY FIRING OVER THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AT 20Z...AND WOULD EXPECT
STORMS TO INTENSIFY AS THEY ENCOUNTER MORE UNSTABLE AIR OVER THE
EASTERN MOUNTAINS. MAIN LIMITING FACTOR FOR SEVERE STORMS IS RATHER
WEAK 0-6KM SHEAR...WITH VALUES ONLY AROUND 30 KNOTS...AS STRONGER
UPPER LEVEL WINDS ARE OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE.
STILL...GIVEN THE STRONG INSTABILITY...WILL LIKELY SEE AT LEAST A
FEW SEVERE STORMS OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND I-25 CORRIDOR
THROUGH THIS EVENING. AXIS OF DEEP INSTABILITY IS FAIRLY
NARROW...WHICH WILL LIMIT THE EASTWARD EXTENT OF STRONG CONVECTION
THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY CLOSE TO THE KS BORDER. STORMS SHOULD END
TOWARD MIDNIGHT...WITH GRADUAL CLEARING BY MORNING.

ON MONDAY...SLIGHT INCREASE IN WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT IS FORECAST TO
MIX TO THE SURFACE BY AFTERNOON...SHOVING DEEPER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
EAST TO THE KS BORDER. GFS DROPS DEWPOINTS INTO THE 20S OVER MUCH OF
THE AREA BY 00Z...WHILE NAM IS AROUND 10F HIGHER WITH MAINLY 30S. AS
A RESULT...NAM DEVELOPS SOME ISOLATED HIGH BASED...MAINLY DRY TSRA
OVER THE AREA IN THE AFTERNOON...WHILE THE GFS IS DRY. KEPT SOME
VERY LOW POPS OVER THE MOUNTAINS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE NAM
SCENARIO...BUT WENT WITH A DRY FORECAST OVER THE WESTERN VALLEYS AND
I-25 CORRIDOR. LEFT SOME LOW POPS ALONG THE KS BORDER...WHERE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE IS SLOW TO MIX OUT...ESPECIALLY FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER.
WITH THE INCREASE IN DOWNSLOPE FLOW AND WARMING AT 700 MB...SHOULD
BE A VERY HOT DAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE PLAINS...WHERE READINGS IN
THE 95-10F RANGE ARE LIKELY OVER THE PLAINS. COMBINATION OF
INCREASING WINDS...LOW RH AND HIGH HAINES WILL INCREASE THE FIRE
DANGER OVER MUCH OF THE AREA...THOUGH WIND SPEEDS WILL REMAIN JUST
BELOW CRITICAL HIGHLIGHT THRESHOLD.  --10

LONG TERM...
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)

COMPLEX FORECAST ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS THROUGH MID WEEK WITH
MOISTURE AND BOUNDARIES MOVING ACROSS THE AREA OWNING TO POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

MONDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY NIGHT... SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN MODELS LEADS
TO BIG DIFFERENCES IN SENSIBLE WX AND HAVE FOLLOWED CLOSER TO THE
NAM SOLUTION THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH ITS BETTER HANDLING OF TERRAIN
FEATURES. AT ANY RATE...MODERATE WESTERLY FLOW PERSISTS ACROSS THE
REGION WITH AN EMBEDDED SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER
OF STATES MONDAY NIGHT ALLOWING FOR BACKDOOR FRONT TO SLIDE ACROSS
THE EASTERN PLAINS LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. COLD AIR
LAGS WELL BEHIND THE FRONT...HOWEVER WILL SEE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
POOLING BEHIND BOUNDARY WITH A STRAY SHOWER NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
OVERNIGHT. WILL ALSO SEE STRATUS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE PLAINS AS THE
LOW ATMOSPHERE SATURATES THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS ALLOWING
FOR ENHANCED LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE ALONG WITH AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
WITH DEW PTS IN THE UPPER 40S TO UPPER 50S TO REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS
THE SE PLAINS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. LATEST NAM INDICATING A MINOR PV
LOBE CIRCULATING AROUND UPPER HIGH ACROSS NORTHERN NEW MEXICO
HELPING TO INITIATE CONVECTION...HOWEVER WILL LIKELY BE A ENHANCED
UPSLOPE AND LATE AFTERNOON HEATING OWNING TO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS. MODEL SOUNDINGS
INDICATING CAPES BETWEEN 1500-2500 J/KG ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS
ALONG WITH BULK SHEARS OF 30-45 KTS...OWNING TO POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
STORMS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS AND I-25 CORRIDOR INITIALLY. STORMS EXPECTED
TO ROLL OUT ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS AND HAVE KEPT ISOLATED
POPS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT.  ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS EXPECTED ACROSS THE PLAINS ONCE AGAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW KEEPS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
IN PLACE WITH STORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE EASTERN MTS IN THE
AFTERNOON SPREADING ACROSS THE FAR SE PLAINS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT.
NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE FORECAST OUT WEST WITH MAINLY DRY AND HOT
CONDITIONS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD.

THURSDAY-SUNDAY...THE 06 12Z ECMWF HAS NOW COME INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH THE GFS...THOUGH BOTH MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE RUN
TO RUN DIFFERENCES AND HAVE STARTED TO TREND TO A COOLER AND WETTER
FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND. AT ANY RATE...WARM AND DRY SW FLOW AHEAD
OF EASTERN PAC SYSTEM DIGGING ACROSS THE WEST COAST THURSDAY WILL
ALLOW FOR ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 90S TO AROUND 100
EXPECTED ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS FOR THURSDAY. MODELS NOW DIG AN
UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LOW ACROSS THE DESERT SW ON SATURDAY
BEFORE SLOWLY LIFTING THE SYSTEM OUT ACROSS THE ROCKIES LATE SUNDAY
AND MONDAY. THIS ALLOWS FOR COOL SFC HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD ACROSS
THE EASTERN PLAINS WITH BETTER CHANCES OF WIDESPREAD PRECIP AS
SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE STATE. LATEST MODELS INDICATING H7 TEMPS
DROPPING TO BETWEEN 0C AND 4C ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY MORNING...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH ELEVATION SNOW. WILL
WAIT AND SEE.  -MW

AVIATION...THREAT OF TSRA AT KCOS AND KPUB IN THE 22Z-03Z TIME
FRAME...WITH BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS FROM KPUB SOUTHWARD. A SEVERE
STORM WITH LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS IS POSSIBLE AT BOTH SITES. AT
KALS...MOST CONVECTION HAS REMAINED NORTH OF THE TERMINAL THIS
AFTERNOON...THOUGH GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS ARE A POSSIBILITY THROUGH
00Z.  STORMS OVER MOST OF THE AREA SHOULD END BY 06Z. EXPECT LESS IN
THE WAY OF TSRA ON MON...AS WINDS BECOME WESTERLY AND PUSH MOISTURE
AWAY FROM THE AREA. COULD STILL SEE ONE OR TWO HIGH BASED STORMS
OVER THE MOUNTAINS...WITH ERRATIC AND GUSTY WINDS THE MAIN THREAT.
