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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Sioux Falls, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 18, 10:20 AM CDT, 3 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 18, 10:20 AM CDT, 3 hours 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
1020 AM CDT THU AUG 18 2011

.DISCUSSION...
MID LEVEL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SEEM DESTINED TO BE MORE ACTIVE
NEXT SEVERAL HOURS THAN WE HAVE BEEN CARRYING AS THEY MOVE EAST
SOUTHEAST OVER THE SOUTHERN PART OF FORECAST AREA. MID LEVEL THERMAL
SUPPORT APPEARS TO BE THERE TO KEEP ACTIVITY GOING. THIS IS THE MAIN
DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT WE WERE CARRYING IN THE EARLIER FORECAST. AS
THIS ACTIVITY MOVES TOT HE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF AREA...THE WEST WILL
BE SET UP AS EXPECTED FOR LATE DAY AND EARLY EVENING DEVELOPMENT OF
SEVERE STORMS...WHICH SHOULD MOVE EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS MOST OF THE
AREA TONIGHT. MOISTURE CONTINUES TO GET DEEPER AND CAP SHOULD BE
EASILY BROKEN OUT WEST. TEMPERATURES SOUTHEAST MAY BE SLIGHTLY
STUNTED BY CLOUDS AND SHOWERS FROM WHAT WE HAD BEFORE BUT OVERALL
EARLIER FORECAST HIGHS LOOK GOOD. / WILLIAMS

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH ABOUT 21Z WITH ELEVATED CONVECTION MOVING
EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN PART OF FORECAST AREA. A FEW EARLY
MORNING MVFR CEILINGS PRETTY MUCH GETTING HEATED UP TO VFR LEVELS.
CONVECTION DEVELOPING AFTER 21Z WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE AND BECOME
MUCH MORE OF A HAZARD THAN THE CURRENT RELATIVE WEAK CELLS. ASIDE
FROM THE OBVIOUS TURBULENCE HAZARDS...LOCAL MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS
MAY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH 19/06Z AS COVERAGE TO STORMS
INCREASES. EVENTUALLY WITH THE INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
LEVELS...AREAS OF MVFR CEILINGS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP AWAY FROM
STORMS. THESE AREAS MAY LINGER AFTER 19/06Z THROUGH 19/12Z AS STORMS
DECREASE AND/OR MOVE EAST OUT OF AREA. / WILLIAMS

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
MAIN FOCUS TODAY WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. STARTING
OFF THE EARLY MORNING WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SW MN AND
NW IA IN ASSOCIATION WITH 850 TO 700 MB THETAE ADVECTION. MAIN
INSTABILITY WILL MOVE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA TOWARD SUNRISE...
PUSHING THUNDERSTORMS INTO CENTRAL IA AND MN. ANOTHER AREA OF
ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND WEAK FORCING WILL SHIFT FROM SW SD INTO SE
SD THIS MORNING. THIS WILL PRODUCE A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...WITH CHANCES SPREADING EAST THROUGH THE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON. CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION ON THE LOW SIDE SO
MAINLY LOOKING AT 20 POPS WITH THIS ELEVATED INSTABILITY.

MAIN THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MID AFTERNOON THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. MODELS IS FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A WEAK SHORTWAVE
TROUGH SLIDING INTO CENTRAL SD MID TO LATE AFTERNOON AND 80 TO 100
KT UPPER JET ACROSS SD. THIS WILL COINCIDE WITH MAX HEATING OF THE
DAY...SO SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM BREAKING ANY CAP WHICH MAY BE IN
PLACE. CAPE AND SHEAR PROFILES SUGGEST STORMS WOULD RAPIDLY DEVELOP
INTO SUPERCELLS...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES. MIXED LAYER CAPES WILL EASILY APPROACH 3000 J/KG BY LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND 0-6 KM SHEAR SHOULD BE IN THE 50 TO 60 KT
RANGE...AND EVEN GREATER SHEAR THROUGH DEEPER LAYERS WITH THE UPPER
LEVEL JET IN PLACE. GIVEN THE CAPE AND SHEAR PROFILES...HAIL SIZE
COULD EASILY APPROACH BASEBALL SIZE IF NOT LARGER DURING INITIAL
SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA.
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD SEE UPSCALE GROWTH...EVENTUALLY CONGEALING INTO
AN A LINEAR MCS. WILL SEE A GRADUAL DECREASE IN HAIL SIZE AS STORMS
PUSH EAST...BUT AT THE SAME TIME WIND THREAT WILL INCREASE. STEEP
LOW TO MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR...AND DEEP
STORM RELATIVE INFLOW ALL INDICATE 70 TO 80 MPH ARE NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION WITH ANY BOWING LINE SEGMENTS AND EMBEDDED CIRCULATIONS.
THE MCS SHOULD  INTO SW MN AN NW IA DURING THE EVENING...ALTHOUGH
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE IS A GOOD
POSSIBILITY WITH STRONG ELEVATED THETAE ADVECTION IN PLACE.
THUNDERSTORM SHOULD MOVE EAST FAST ENOUGH THAT FLASH FLOODING WILL
NOT BE A BIG CONCERN. HOWEVER...SW MN MAY BE THE PIVOT POINT OF THE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH...SUCH THAT THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE IN PLACE LONG
ENOUGH FOR SOME HEAVIER RAIN AMOUNTS...SO FLASH FLOODING NOT OUT OF
THE QUESTION SHOULD THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE.
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MOVE SE OF THE FORECAST AREA BY THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS.

ONCE CONVECTION EXITS THE AREA...THINKING THIS WILL PUT A DAMPER ON
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THIS NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. EC STILL TRYING TO HOLD
A MIDLEVEL BNDRY OVER THE MISSOURI VALLEY FRI THROUGH FRI
NIGHT...SPARKING MORE CONVECTION...BUT IT SEEMS MORE REASONABLE THAT
ANY THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL DRIVE THE BNDRY FAR ENOUGH
SOUTH TO PRECLUDE CONVECTION IN THE CWA FRI OR FRI NIGHT. MOST
LIKELY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACROSS SRN NEBRASKA WHERE THE NEXT
SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO TRACK.  /97
