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, Jul 5, 3:40 PM CDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
340 PM CDT TUE JUL 5 2011

.SHORT TERM...A QUASI STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST SOUTH OF
THE NEBRASKA/SOUTH DAKOTA LINE THIS AFTERNOON...IS FINALLY SHOWING
SOME SIGNS OF SAGGING SOUTHWARD THE PAST HOUR. PLENTY OF INSTABILITY
OF AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY WITH LITTLE INHIBITION TO SPEAK OF...SHOULD
ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME LOCALLY STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE BOUNDARY AS IT PROGRESSES SOUTHWARD THROUGH
THE EVENING HOURS. CONVECTION HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO SHOW SOME SIGNS OF
INTENSIFICATION JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE LOCAL AREA THE PAST HALF
HOUR OR SO...AND EXPECT FURTHER ENHANCEMENT AS THE BOUNDARY PUSHES
INTO VERY UNSTABLE AIR TO THE SOUTH. EVENTHOUGH FREEZING LEVELS
ARE RELATIVELY HIGH THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECT SOME POTENTIALLY LARGE
HAIL WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS ALONG WITH VERY GUSTY WINDS. WITH
THIS BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO BE VERY SLOW MOVING AND ADDITIONAL
STORMS EXPECTED TO FIRE UP AND ORGANIZE ALONG THE BOUNDARY TO THE
WEST OF THE LOCAL AREA...EXPECT ACTIVE WEATHER TO PERSIST INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT.

FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY IS A BIT TRICKY AS IT WILL BE SOMEWHAT
DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT LOCAL OF AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
WITH THINKING THAT THIS FRONT WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL OR SOUTHERN
KANSAS BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS WEDNESDAY...KEPT HIGHEST POPS TO THE
SOUTH...ALBEIT SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE WILL BE IN
PLACE TO JUSTIFY AT LEAST CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA DURING THE DAY. SHOWER ACTIVITY IS THEN EXPECTED TO INCREASE
AGAIN OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AS FORCING
FROM THE LOW LEVEL JET SHOULD HELP INCREASE COVERAGE OF STORMS
ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. ITS JULY AND THE WEATHER WILL
GENERALLY REFLECT THAT. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
U.S. WILL GRADUALLY BUILD UPPER HEIGHTS INTO THE REGION THIS WEEKEND.
BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE FORECAST AREA IS AGAIN CLOSE ENOUGH TO A
WEAK SOUTHWEST FLOW WHICH MAY BRING A LITTLE BETTER SHOT FOR
RAINFALL.

FIRST...THERE IS PRETTY GOOD UNIFORMITY AMONGST MODELS THURSDAY WILL
SEE LINGERING SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS GRADUALLY WORKING
EAST/SOUTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON. OVERALL
TIMING IS CONFINED TO THE DAYTIME AREAS...WITH THE BEST SHOT FOR RAIN
IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST FORECAST AREA. WITH THE PRECIPITATION AND CLOUDS
TEMPERATURES WILL HOLD BELOW NORMAL AND IN THE MIDDLE 80S ON
AVERAGE.

UPPER RIDGING INCREASES HEIGHTS SLIGHTLY FRIDAY/SATURDAY...AND THIS WAS
VIEWED AS A DRIER PERIOD THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST. ANY STORMS ALONG THE
WESTERN HIGH PLAINS WILL MIGRATE EAST...BUT STRUGGLE TO REACH EVEN
CENTRAL NEBRASKA. HAVE SCALED BACK RAIN CHANCES BOTH FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. ON LATE SUNDAY...A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH/BOUNDARY MAY
FINALLY MAKE IT FAR ENOUGH EAST AND INTO THE FORECAST AREA AS THE UPPER
FLOW BECOMES A LITTLE MORE SOUTHWESTERLY IN NATURE. THIS THINKING LINGERS
INTO THE MONDAY/TUESDAY...AND SO THERE ARE A LITTLE BETTER...BUT NOT
MUCH BETTER...CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR THIS TIME
FRAME. OVERALL...ITS A PRETTY STANDARD EARLY...VERY WARM...GENERALLY
MUGGY EARLY JULY WEEKEND.

AS HEIGHTS RISE...TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE RISE AS WELL BY
SATURDAY. TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT WILL BE COMMON AGAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
FORECAST AREA...WITH PLENTY OF 90S ELSEWHERE. TEMPERATURES MAY SLIDE
BACK SOME SOME ACROSS THE NORTHERN FORECAST AS THE SURFACE TROUGH SAGS
INTO NORTHERN AREAS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1253 PM CDT TUE JUL 5 2011/

AVIATION...18Z KGRI TAF. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SAG
SOUTHWARD OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...BRINGING A CHANCE OF A VCTS OR
TSRA TO KGRI BY 05/22Z. TEMPO MVFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THIS
FRONT PASSES BY FROM 05/22Z-06/02Z IN A PASSING TSRA. MAY SEE A
SECOND ROUND OF CONVECTION TOWARDS EARLY MORNING...HOWEVER
CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH WITH THIS...SO CONTINUED WITH JUST A
PROB 30 GROUP AT THIS TIME. FOR WEDNESDAY...CLOUDY AND
OCCASIONALLY SHOWERY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE DAY AS
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION ATTEMPTS TO DEVELOP BEHIND THIS EVENINGS
COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LESS THAN 15 KTS THROUGH THE
TIME PERIOD...SHIFTING FROM SOUTHEASTERLY TO MORE EASTERLY THIS
EVENING.
