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.

NWS North Platte, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 11, 9:03 PM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 11, 9:03 PM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before

.UPDATE...

WATCH.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 158 PM CDT THU AUG 11 2011/

DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT AS WINDS ALOFT REMAIN STRONG...LAPSE RATES
STEEP AND MOIST AND FREEZING LEVELS ARE AROUND 11500 FT AGL. SFC
ANALYSIS...RADAR...SATELLITE...THE HRRR AND CONSENSUS OF NAM...SREF
AND GFS SUGGEST NCNTL NEB ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 83 AND ALONG AND
NORTH OF NEBRASKA HIGHWAY 2 WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY OR CONGESTED AREA
FOR STORM ACTIVITY. THE RUC IS SUGGESTING THE REST OF THE FCST AREA
WILL BE SOMEWHAT CAPPED LIMITING STORM COVERAGE TO MAINLY ISOLATED
ACTIVITY. THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENT FEATURES HIGH CAPE BUT DRY AIR
ALOFT SOUTH AND WEST BUT HIGH CAPE AND MOIST ALOFT ACROSS THE
AREA OF GREATEST INTEREST...AS MENTIONED ABOVE. THE FATE OF THE HEAVY
CUMULUS BUILD UP ACROSS SWRN NEB REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

STORM ACTIVITY COULD COMMENCE MID TO LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE MOST OF THE NIGHT BEFORE SETTLING DOWN EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

SOME LINGERING SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY EXITS THE FCST AREA
TO THE EAST FRIDAY MORNING WITH CANADIAN AIR BUILDING IN FOR THE
WEEKEND. THIS HIGH WILL BUILD VERY SLOWLY THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY PROVIDING COOL AND STABLE EAST AND SOUTHEAST SFC
WINDS WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S MOST AREAS. THE EXCEPTION
WOULD BE ACROSS THE FAR WEST AND SOUTHWEST WHERE WARM AIR COULD
BEGIN SPREADING NORTH OUT OF ERN COLO AND WRN KS.

THE GFS AND 00Z ECMWF SUGGEST ISOLATED TO PERHAPS SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG A WARM FRONT MONDAY NIGHT...MAINLY
EAST OF HIGHWAY 83. THEREAFTER THE GREAT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF THIS
SUMMER BUILDS NORTH AND BRUSHES NEBRASKA WITH HUMID 80S TO LOWER 90S
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT SHOULD BE MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE
FCST AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH COOLER WEATHER FOR THURSDAY. THE
SLOWER GFS AND GEM WERE FAVORED OVER THE FASTER 00Z ECMWF WHICH
DRIVES THE COLD FRONT THROUGH 1 DAY EARLIER. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE OPERATING TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR THE HIGH CAPE
ENVIRONMENT AND APPROACHING COLD FRONT. OTHERWISE THE ATMOSPHERE
SHOULD REMAIN CAPPED AS H7 TEMPS RISE TOWARD 15-16C.

AVIATION...
SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED FROM 21 UTC THROUGH AT LEAST 06
UTC. IFR CONDITIONS...HAIL...AND SURFACE WINDS OF 50 KTS OR GREATER
ARE EXPECTED WITH THE STORMS. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IN IMPACTS AT ANY
GIVEN LOCALE IS MODEST AT BEST GIVEN SCATTERED NATURE OF THE STORMS.
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION 06 TO 12 UTC...AND IS
EXPECTED TO BRING YET ANOTHER ROUND OF TSRA TO NORTHERN NEB. IN THE
WAKE OF THE STORMS AND BEHIND THE FRONT...STRATUS COULD FORM...BUT
LOW CONFIDENCE PREVENTS ITS INCLUSION IN THE KLBF OR KVTN TAFS.
