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
Albuquerq/Krtlnd, NM (KABQ), launched 12:00Z, 11.1 hours before the alert went out and 177 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 NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 303 PM MDT THU SEP 15 2011 .DISCUSSION... WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS A WELL DEFINED MID/UPR LEVEL TROUGH AXIS FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS SW ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS INTO SOUTHERN CALI. THE 400-250MB ACARS WIND DATA INDICATES A 50-70 KT UPPER JET STREAMING NE ACROSS NM AHEAD OF THIS WAVE. THE LOW LEVEL SFC FRONT THAT OOZED WEST TO THE CONT DVD OVERNIGHT HAS WASHED OUT TO SE FLOW OVER MUCH OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN NM. BEST AREA OF LOW LEVEL CONV AND UPR DIV EXISTS BTWN THE CONT DVD AND THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY WHERE VIGOROUS STORMS ARE IN PROGRESS. ADJUSTED POPS FOR THIS EVENING BASED ON TIMING OF CURRENT STORMS DEVELOPING AND WELL CAPTURED INSTABILITY/PRECIP ON THE LATEST 18Z RUC. SPC WRF AND NSSL WRF ALSO CAPTURE CURRENT SCENARIO INCREASING CONFIDENCE FOR HIGHEST POPS. ALSO ADDED SMALL HAIL...GUSTY WINDS...AND HEAVY RAINFALL TO FORECAST WITHIN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND SURROUNDING CENTRAL MTS THIS EVENING. ANOTHER ROUND OF LOW CLOUDS WILL OCCUR OVERNIGHT AS MORE SHOWERS ENTER THE AREA FROM THE WEST OVER LOW LEVEL SE MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW.

A SECONDARY WELL DEFINED UPPER WAVE ENTERING NORTHERN CALI ON LATEST WATER VAPOR APPEARS MORE VIGOROUS THAN 12Z MODELS. DECIDED TO KEEP TEMPS A LITTLE BLW GUIDANCE FOR FRIDAY AND POPS A LITTLE HIGHER AS MORE INSTABILITY IS POSSIBLE OVER THE REGION OVER DECENT REMNANT MOISTURE AREAWIDE. BY SATURDAY THE 12Z NAM/GFS/EURO/GEM SHOW WEST OR NW FLOW OVER NM THRU EARLY NEXT WEEK WHILE AN UPR HIGH BUILDS OVER THE BAJA. THE NAM/EURO/GEM SHOW A DEEPER UPPER TROUGH AXIS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS STATES THAN THE GFS THUS A STRONGER RIDGE OVER THE SW CONUS. SIDED WITH THE ENSEMBLE AND CLEARED SKIES MORE OUT AT NIGHT...LOWERED MIN TEMPS WITH OVERNIGHT INVERSIONS...DECREASED PRECIP CHANCES AND RELEGATED TO THE HIGH TERRAIN. GUYER && .AVIATION... IFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS WITH LOW CLOUDS AND AREAS OF FOG TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS ESPECIALLY THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE STATE AND EXTREME EAST INCLUDING KCAO CAN KCVS. ELSEWHERE... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MOVING QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST WILL PRODUCE LOCAL MVFR AND LOCAL IFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH MOUNTAIN TOP OBSCURATIONS THROUGH 03Z TO 06Z. LOW CLOUDS AND SOME FOG TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND WESTWARD FROM 06Z TO 15Z EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. SOME CLEARING AND LESS ACTIVITY AFTER 15Z FRIDAY WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EAST. NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 05 && .FIRE WEATHER... A WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY OVER NORTHEAST ARIZONA AND DECENT SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT AREA ARE CURRENTLY SUPPORTING FAST MOVING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO. THE EXCEPTION IS THE EXTREME EAST WHERE LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG PERSIST. ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. SHOWERS TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF LOW CLOUDS EAST...THEREFORE...RH RECOVERIES TONIGHT WILL BE EXCELLENT AREA WIDE. THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO MOVE TO THE EAST ON FRIDAY AND SOME DRYING OCCURS ACCOMPANIED BY A BIG WARMUP EAST AS THE LOW CLOUDS DISSIPATE DURING THE DAY. ENOUGH MOISTURE PERSISTS FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WEST AND NORTH...WITH NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS NORTH CENTRAL HIGH TERRAIN AND ONLY ISOLATED COVERAGE EASTERN PLAINS AND RIO GRANDE VALLEY. SURFACE FLOW TO BE SOUTHWEST MOST AREAS AND VENTILATION TO BE VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT MOST LOCATIONS. NEAR ZONAL FLOW ALOFT ON SATURDAY WITH LOW LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW. CONTINUED MODEST WARMING AND OVERALL DRYING AND AN AREA WIDE REDUCTION IN WETTING RAIN WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED COVERAGE MAINLY WESTERN AND NORTHERN HIGH TERRAIN. VENTILATION TO REMAIN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT. A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL EDGE INTO THE NORTHEAST PLAINS ON SUNDAY. SOME MINOR COOLING NORTHEAST AND AN INCREASE IN SURFACE DEWPOINTS BUT STRENGTH NOT SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT PRECIPITATION IN THE AREA. ISOLATED HIGH TERRAIN THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH TERRAIN CANT BE RULED OUT.
