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.

UPDATED TO ADD 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 427 AM CDT SAT JUN 18 2011/

DISCUSSION...
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN REMAINS THUNDERSTORM CHANCES OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS...AS THE MIDSOUTH REMAINS NEAR THE PERIPHERY OF A
ROBUST UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER TX. MAIN STORM TRACK WILL EXTEND
FROM EASTERN KS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY THROUGH TONIGHT. NORTHERN
CHANCES OF THE MIDSOUTH WILL THUS SEE THE BETTER CHANCES FOR
STORMS TODAY.

THE SOUTHERN PLAINS UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE LOWER
MS RIVER VALLEY ON SUNDAY... EFFECTIVELY PRECLUDING RAIN CHANCES
OVER ALL BUT THE FAR NORTHERN AREAS OF THE MIDSOUTH. RAIN CHANCES
SHOULD PEAK AT AROUND 15 PERCENT ALONG THE MO/KY BORDERS...AND
THIS MAY BE A STRETCH. HEAT INDICES IN EXCESS OF 100 DEGREES WILL
BE THE BIGGER STORY OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE MIDSOUTH ON SUNDAY.
HEAT INDICES OF 100 TO 105 WILL LIKELY PERSIST INTO TUESDAY...
PARTICULARLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I40.

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EASTERN SEABOARD BY
TUESDAY EVENING... AS A SLOW MOVING 565DM UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE
UPPER MIDWEST. A MIDLEVEL TROF AXIS AND SLOW MOVING SURFACE COLD
FRONT WILL EXTEND SOUTHWARD INTO THE ARKLATEX BY MIDDAY WEDNESDAY.
THE GFS PLACES PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES IN
THE PREFRONTAL ZONE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY TEMPS WILL BE
TRICKY... HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON STORM COVERAGE AND SUNSHINE.

THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY EDGE EAST INTO THE MIDSOUTH AND
WASH OUT THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY....AS SYNOPTIC FORCING WEAKENS. THE
PRESENCE OF THE WASHED OUT FRONT... CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES AND WEAK
DAYTIME CONVECTIVE INHIBITION WARRANT 20 POPS INTO THE WEEKEND.

PWB

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF CYCLE

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE 12Z TAF
PERIOD. A COUPLE OF MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS DEVELOPED
OVERNIGHT...ONE OVER WESTERN MISSOURI AND THE OTHER OVER CENTRAL
ILLINOIS. AS OF TAF ISSUANCE THE TWO HAVE MERGED TOGETHER AND WILL
CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE EAST SOUTHEAST. CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW ON
THIS CONVECTIVE SYSTEM AFFECTING TAF SITES. HOWEVER...OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES PRODUCED BY THIS SYSTEM MAY TRIGGER ISOLATED/SCATTERED
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS...PARTICULARLY AT MKL AS IT INTERACTS
WITH THE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. AS A RESULT...HAVE VCTS AT MKL
18/14-22Z...AND ONLY MENTIONED CB AT REMAINING SITES AS CONFIDENCE
IN COVERAGE/TIMING IS MUCH LOWER. SOUTHWEST WINDS AROUND 10-12 KTS
WILL INCREASE TO 12-15 KTS BY THIS AFTERNOON AND DIMINISH TO 8-10
KTS AFTER 19/00Z.
