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.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 31, 5:15 AM CST, 3 hours 51 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
515 AM CST FRI DEC 31 2010

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

2010 DECIDEDLY NOT GOING QUIETLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT...WITH
NUMEROUS...NUMEROUS WEATHER ISSUES THIS MORNING...INCLUDING ONGOING
CONVECTION AND SVR WEATHER/TOA WATCH...POSSIBLE WIND ADVY CONDITIONS
TODAY AND FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THIS AFTERNOON...ALL BEFORE A MAJOR
COOL DOWN FOR 2011.

...NEAR TERM MESO CONVECTIVE UPDATE...

COMPLEX CONVECTIVE SITUATION CURRENTLY UNFOLDING ACROSS THE CWA THIS
MORNING...WITH AN INITIAL ROUND OF OCCASIONALLY SURFACE BASED
SUPERCELLS MOVING NORTH FROM NORTHERN ARKANSAS.  EVOLUTION OF THESE
STORMS HAS SUGGESTED THAT ELEVATED CAPE VALUES ARE SURELY HIGHER
THAN WHAT MODEL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN SUGGESTING ALL NIGHT.
OBVIOUSLY...SHEAR VALUES HAVE BEEN MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR
ORGANIZATION...AND STORMS HAVE BEEN TRACKING ALMOST PERPENDICULAR TO
SHEAR VECTORS PER SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE...THUS TAPPING INTO THE FULL
EXTENT OF THE 50KT + 0-6 SHEAR AVAILABLE.

INITIAL ROUND OF STORMS LIKELY TO EXIT TO CWA BY 0930Z...WITH SHORT
BREAK EXPECTED THEREAFTER.  MORNING SFC ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT COLD
FRONT FROM LEAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER WESTERN LAKE
SUPERIOR IS STRETCHED OUT SOUTH OF THE KANSAS CITY AREA...STRETCHING
BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST TO BETWEEN EMPORIA AND PARSONS KANSAS.  A
DRYLINE THEN STRETCHES FROM WEST OF PARSONS TO NEAR THE OKLAHOMA CITY
AREA...AND CONVECTION HAS BEEN FIRING ALONG THIS LINE EARLY THIS
MORNING.  SURFACE LOW PRESSURE NEAR OKC IS EXPECTED TO LIFT TOWARD
KANSAS CITY BY 800 AM THIS MORNING.  THIS SHOULD INITIALLY LIFT THE
WARM/MOIST SECTOR SLIGHTLY NORTH EARLY THIS MORNING.  CONVECTION
CURRENTLY OCCURRING NEAR OKC APPEARS TO BE COINCIDENT WITH 700 MB
SPEED MAX AND DRYLINE. LATEST RUNS OF THE RUC SUGGEST THAT 500-800
J/K OF CAPE WILL BE IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE AS IT BEGINS TO
SURGE INTO THE WESTERN CWA.  STRONG SHEAR PROFILES ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE...AND CURRENT EXPECTATIONS ARE
FOR AN EAST-NORTHEASTWARD MOVING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO SWEEP
ACROSS THE CWA BEGINNING AROUND DAYBREAK WITH THE DRYLINE...WITH THE
DRYLINE REACHING THE SGF AREA BY ABOUT 14-16Z.  AT THIS
POINT...CERTAINLY FEEL LIKE ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL REMAIN
POSSIBLE...INCLUDING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND A FEW
ISOLATED TORNADOES. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT INSTABILITY AND
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY MAY BEGIN TO FALL OFF TOWARD THE EAST
LATER THIS AFTERNOON...SO THINK THAT WHILE SEVERE WEATHER WILL STILL
BE A POSSIBILITY EAST OF U.S. 65...BEST CHANCES WILL BE OVER THE
WESTERN 2/3 OR SO OF THE FORECAST AREA.

...TODAY/TONIGHT...NON-CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

PLEASE SEE ABOVE FOR CURRENT SEVERE WEATHER/CONVECTIVE EXPECTATIONS.
OTHERWISE TODAY...DRYLINE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA
THIS MORNING...WITH RAPID CLEARING BEHIND IT.  DESPITE THE PASSAGE
OF THE DRYLINE...STRONG KINEMATIC WIND FIELDS EXPECTED TO BE IN
PLACE OVER THE AREA...AND DEEP MIXING EXPECTED POST-DRYLINE WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN STRONG WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AT THE SFC THIS
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY WEST OF A CASSVILLE TO OSCEOLA LINE...AS WELL
AS PLUMMETING DEWPOINTS.  NET EFFECT OF THIS WILL BE WHAT LOOKS TO
BE SOLID ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS...AS WELL AS FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
ONE POTENTIAL FLY IN THE OINTMENT WITH REGARD TO FIRE WEATHER IS
FUEL MOISTURE.  LEVELS PER RAWS SITES ARE IN THE 15% RANGE...BUT
REALLY THINK THAT COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS AND VERY DRY AIR WILL
RESULT IN RAPID DRYING OF FUELS.  SO...RED FLAG WARNING LIKELY FOR
THIS AFTERNOON OVER SOUTHWESTERN CWA...AND WIND ADV WEST OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED CASSVILLE TO OSCEOLA LINE.

COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY PASS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...PLUMMETING
TEMPS BUT BRINGING AN END TO THE WIND/FIRE WEATHER/CONVECTIVE
CONCERNS.

...NEW YEARS DAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY...

COLD HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD INTO THE AREA ON NEW YEARS DAY...WITH
THE END OF THE PROBLEM-CHILD UPPER TROUGH FINALLY PASSING OFF TO THE
EAST BY SUNDAY.  ZONAL FLOW WILL TAKE OVER...AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO
RESULT IN PRETTY BENIGN WEATHER FOR MUCH OF THE COMING WEEK.  DOES
LOOK LIKE A FEW LOW AMPLITUDE WAVES MOVING ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
CWA...BUT FOR NOW HAVE KEPT THINGS DRY. TEMPS FOR THE EXTENDED LOOK
TO BE RATHER SEASONABLE.

FOR THE 12Z TAFS...

THIS MORNING OR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. SKIES WILL CLEAR BEHIND THE
DRYLINE...BUT VERY STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL RAMP UP THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KTS POSSIBLE AT ALL

457 AM CST FRI DEC 31 2010

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI
OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER RISK LEVEL IS...EXTREME.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

  LIMITED TORNADO RISK.
  ELEVATED HAIL RISK.
  ELEVATED THUNDERSTORM WIND DAMAGE RISK.
  LIMITED FLOODING RISK.
  ELEVATED LIGHTNING RISK.
  LIMITED EXTREME COLD RISK.
  ELEVATED NON-THUNDERSTORM WIND RISK.
  EXTREME FIRE WEATHER DANGER.

DISCUSSION...

A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA BEGINNING EARLY
THIS MORNING AND PERSISTING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS ALONG AND
AHEAD OF A DRYLINE. THESE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE
STRONG TO SEVERE...WITH DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...LARGE HAIL
TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS...AND AN ISOLATED...BRIEF TORNADO ALL
POSSIBLE. WHILE SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE ENTIRE
OUTLOOK AREA TODAY...THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF THUNDERSTORMS
WILL LIKELY BE ALONG AND WEST OF U.S. 65 DURING THE MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. WHILE NOT EXPECTED TO BE A WIDESPREAD
THREAT...LOCALIZED SHORT TERM FLOODING OF LOW WATER CROSSINGS AND
OTHER FLOOD PRONE AREAS WILL ALSO BE A POSSIBILITY WITH THE LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS.

AS THE DRYLINE PASSES...SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAR AND WEST
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BE SUSTAINED BETWEEN 25 AND 35 MPH...WITH
GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40 TO 45 MPH AT TIMES. THE BEST CHANCE FOR STRONG
NON THUNDERSTORM WINDS WILL BE ALONG AND WEST OF U.S. 65...AND A
WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THIS AREA FROM 900 AM CST THIS
MORNING UNTIL 500 PM CST THIS AFTERNOON.

IN ADDITION TO THE VERY GUSTY WINDS...RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE
EXPECTED TO DROP RAPIDLY AS VERY DRY AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE
DRYLINE. THESE LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES...COMBINED WITH THE
GUSTY WINDS...WILL YIELD A SIGNIFICANT TO EXTREME FIRE WEATHER
DANGER THIS AFTERNOON OVER MAINLY FAR SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI. A RED
FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THIS AREA FROM NOON UNTIL 600 PM.

BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING...A STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST...EVENTUALLY
OVERTAKING THE DRYLINE OVER THE EASTERN OZARKS. AS THIS COLD
FRONT PASSES...VERY COLD AIR WILL BEGIN TO SPILL INTO THE
AREA....WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING RAPIDLY LATE TONIGHT. WIND
CHILL VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS BY
DAYBREAK SATURDAY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 44...AND INTO THE
TEENS TO THE SOUTH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

THERE WILL BE A LIMITED THREAT OF EXTREME COLD ALONG AND NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 44 FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN
THE 30S...LOWS IN THE TEENS AND 20S AND WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS TO MIDDLE TEENS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS LIKELY ALONG AND WEST OF U.S. 65 THROUGH
NOON TODAY...AND MAY BE POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON EAST OF U.S.
