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 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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
447 PM EDT SAT MAY 14 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY DRIFT FROM THE OHIO
VALLEY TO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AND THEN
REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL
MAINTAIN AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #302 REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 8 PM OVER
PTNS OF SC AND SE VA (SOUTH OF THE JAMES) ALONG WITH NE NC. THE
LATEST MESOANALYSIS SHOWS MUCAPES IN THE AREA OF 2000-3000 J/KG OVER
THE WATCH REGION...ALONG WITH POINTS W-SW TOWARD SOUTH HILL.
LATEST RUC GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT MODERATELY UNSTABLE
PROFILES INTO EARLY EVENING...WITH MUCAPES TOPPING NEAR 3000
J/KG OVER THE WATCH AREA ACROSS THE INTERIOR PTN OF NERN NC (TOTAL
TOTALS IN THE LOWER 50S AND LI'S BETWEEN -5 AND -7C). MEANWHILE...
LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOPS AND FCST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE
AVAILABILITY OF SOME DRY AIR IN THE MID LAYERS...EVIDENCED BY WET
BULB ZERO HEIGHTS SOME 2 TO 2.5 KFT LOWER THAN THE FCST FREEZING
LEVEL. THIS ALONG WITH -10 TO -30C CAPES PROJECTED TO MAX OUT BTWN
300-500 J/KG OVER SERN VA/NERN NC (HIGHEST SOUTH) WILL CONTINUE TO
ALLOW FOR AN INCREASED RISK FOR LARGE HAIL IN THE STRONGEST CELLS.
MID LEVEL WIND PROFILES ARE MARGINAL (700-500 MB AVG WIND SPEEDS
25-30 KTS)...HOWEVER AS THE LIFT ARRIVES LATE THIS AFTN/EVENING WITH
THE LIFT ARRIVING LATER TODAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT "SPOKE" (VORT
LOBE) AHEAD OF THE MID-UPR LEVEL LOW...ALONG WITH THE DRY AIR
AVAILABILITY ALOFT...THE RISK FOR LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
WILL EXIST OVER THE WATCH AREA. 0-6 KM HODOGRAPH STRUCTURE (MORE
CURVED) ALONG WITH THE 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR (BTWN 20-30 KTS) WOULD
SUPPORT MULTICELLULAR STORM CLUSTERS.
OTHERWISE...HAVE CONTINUED TO INCREASE POPS FROM SSW-NNE LATER
THIS AFTN AND EVENING AHEAD OF THIS INITIAL NARROW SHORTWAVE.
EXPECT A BROKEN LINE OF CLUSTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS LIFTING NNE
OUT AHEAD OF THE VORT LOBE...AND GIVEN THIS DIRECTION FAIRLY
PARALLEL TO THE ORIENTATION OF CONVECTION...EXPECT IT WILL TAKE A
WHILE BEFORE THE CONVECTION SHIFTS E OF I-95. MEANWHILE...OVER
N/NE AREAS...LLVL STABILITY CONTINUES WITH THE MORE EASTERLY
(ONSHORE) COMPONENT TO THE LOW LEVEL FLOW. ANY THUNDERSTORMS OVER
THE N/NE AREAS (INCLUDING THE LWR ERN SHORE) WILL BE THE ELEVATED
VARIETY LATER THIS EVENING OR OVERNIGHT WITH THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY
MOVING THROUGH...GIVEN THE SFC-BASED CAPPING INVERSION IN PLACE.
THE CHANCE OF RAIN WILL GENERALLY DECLINE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
HOWEVER...LINGERING INSTABILITY WILL MAINTAIN AT LEAST SLIGHT
CHANCE/CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS AND PERHAPS THUNDER. LOWS TONIGHT
IN THE LOW TO MID 60S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE INITIAL WARM CONVEYOR BELT MOVES OFF THE COAST BY SUNDAY...AS
THE UPPER LOW MAKES SLOW PROGRESS EASTWARD. HOWEVER...LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN AND WHEN COMBINED WITH DRYING ALOFT CAPE
VALUES OF AROUND 1000 J/KG ARE POSSIBLE. ADDITIONALLY A SURFACE
COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST. HENCE A CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE AND A SEVERE THREAT
CANNOT BE RULED OUT. LATEST SPC OUTLOOK HAS THE LOCAL AREA IN A 5
PERCENT RISK. HIGH TEMPERATURES SUNDAY ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM
THE MID 70S N...TO AROUND 80 S.
MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. THERE
COULD BE A BRIEF LULL SUNDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE SURFACE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
RETURN. LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW
60S...FOLLOWED BY HIGHS MONDAY IN THE MID 70S TO LOW 80S.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
TUE/WED...
UPR LOW IN PLACE OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE CONUS...WITH THIS
FEATURE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY EVOLVE INTO REX BLOCK FOR THE LATTER
HALF OF THE WEEK...AND WL CONTINUE TO BRING RAIN CHCS TO THE AREA
THROUGH THE PERIOD. WHERE POSSIBLE...HV TRIED TO ORIENT BEST RAIN
CHCS TO LT AFTN/ERY EVENING TIME PERIOD. HOWEVER...IN THIS AIRMASS
WILL MAINTAIN A SLIGHT CHANCE EVEN IN THE OVERNIGHT/ERY MORNING
HOURS.
THU-SAT...
GFS/ECMWF IN DECENT AGREEMENT FOR LATE WEEK INTO NEXT
WEEKEND...SUGGESTING UPPER LOW WL ONLY BE MODESTLY SHUNTED EAST BY
00Z/SAT. THIS WOULD TRANSLATE TO LOWER SHRA CHCS...BUT WON'T
COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THEM UNTIL POTENTIALLY UNTIL DAY 10 WHEN LOW
AMPLITUDE RIDGING FINALLY LOOKS TO TAKE HOLD.
FOR TEMPERATURES...HV REMAINED NR CLIMO EACH DAY...WITH GRADUAL TEMP
RECOVERY BY THU-SAT AS CLDS THIN OUT A BIT.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE AFTERNOON WILL FEATURE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY SE VA
AND NE NC. INCLUDED CB REMARKS FOR ALL BUT SBY THROUGH ABOUT 01Z.
MVFR CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE MUCH OF THE AFTN AT ALL OF THE TAF
SITES...OCCASIONALLY IMPROVING TO VFR. SE WINDS WILL VEER SLIGHTLY
TOWARD S.
WIDESPREAD IFR CEILINGS WILL REDEVELOP OVER THE AREA OVERNIGHT
EXCEPT AT ECG WHICH WILL BE WELL ENTRENCHED IN THE WARM SECTOR.
WINDS TURN TO S/SW AND MAY BE GUSTY AT TIMES ON SUNDAY. CEILINGS
IMPROVE TO MVFR BY LATE MORNING. TSTMS WILL AGAIN BE PSBL ON SUNDAY
ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTN BUT DID NOT INCLUDE IN THIS ISSUANCE.
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE PORTION OF NEXT
WEEK WITH A FRONTAL ZONE IN THE AREA STARTING MONDAY AND AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NEAR OR TO THE S/W OF THE AREA. AREAS OF
MAINLY MORNING STRATUS AND FOG WILL LOWER CONDITIONS TO MVFR AND
OCCASIONALLY IFR AND SCATTERED MAINLY AFTN THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE.
&&
.MARINE...
SEAS HAVE STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN 5 FT AT OUR BUOYS. HOWEVER WITH
WAVEWATCH AND SWAN CONTINUING TO FORECAST 5 FT SEAS. A SLIGHT
INCREASE IN SWELLS COULD BRING THEM CONSISTENTLY BACK TO 5 FT.
MATCHED OUR NEIGHBORS TO OUR N AND S AND EXTENDED OUR SCA TIL
10Z MONDAY.
SEAS AND SYNOPTIC WINDS ARE TOO MARGINAL TO EXTEND SCA AT THE MOUTH
OF THE BAY. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY RESULT IN THE NEED FOR MWS
OR SMW THIS EVENING.
AS SURFACE LOW BECOMES CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC
STATES MONDAY...PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL DIMINISH AND THE WINDS AND
SEAS MAY SUBSIDE BELOW SCA CRITERIA...ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN
WATERS. OFFSHORE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE FROM THE E OR SE
THROUGHOUT THE COMING WEEK AND WAVEWATCH HAS SEAS BUILDING BACK UP
BY WEDNESDAY.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
LOOKS AS IF THE ASTRONOMICALLY HIGHER EVENING TIDE CYCLE WILL BE
ABOUT A HALF FOOT HIGHER THAN TIDE EARLY THIS MORNING...AND HV
ACCOUNTED FOR THIS IN LATEST CWF.
PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIDAL DEPARTURES AROUND 1 TO 1.5 FT ABOVE
NORMAL WILL CONTINUE FOR THE CHESAPEAKE BAY COASTLINES OF THE
VA/LOWER MD EASTERN SHORE AND THE NORTHERN NECK. COASTAL FLOOD ADVY
REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH SUNDAY AFTN W/GUIDANCE SUGGESTING CURRENT
DEPARTURES (~1.5 FT ABOVE NORMAL TIDE) WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. A FEW HIGH TIDE CYCLES THIS WEEKEND ARE LIKELY TO REACH THE
VERY LOW END OF MINOR FLOODING...ESPECIALLY FROM CAMBRIDGE TO
ONANCOCK...AS WELL AS FROM LEWISETTA TO STINGRAY POINT.
