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.

The nearest sounding before it

Shreveport, LA (KSHV), launched 12:00Z, 2.3 hours before the alert went out and 137 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
444 AM CDT TUE JUN 21 2011

.DISCUSSION...
MCS OVER N TX CONTINUES TO MAKE GOOD PROGRESS E THIS MORNING...ALTHOUGH
IT HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF DECAYING IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES AS IT BEGINS TO
OUTRUN THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DRY LINE/COLD FRONT
INTERSECTION...EXTENDING FROM NE OK /JUST E OF TUL/...INTO SCNTRL OK
TO NEAR MWL AND S OF ABI. BOUNDARIES FROM THIS MCS WILL LIKELY SERVE
AS FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION THIS MORNING ACROSS NE TX/SE OK/SW
AR...AS THE INITIAL SHORTWAVE AHEAD OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE
CNTRL/SRN PLAINS EJECTS NE ALONG AND N OF THE I-30 CORRIDOR THIS
MORNING. ALSO SEEING SCT SHRA DEVELOPING ALONG A SW TO NE ORIENTED
925-850MB THETA-E AXIS OVER E TX/NW LA/SW AR...WITH LARGE SCALE
FORCING INCREASING LATER THIS MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON WITH THE
APPROACH OF THE INITIAL SHORTWAVE TROUGH. TEMPS TODAY WILL BE
DEPENDENT ON HOW LONG THIS CONVECTION PERSISTS...BUT AS MUCH OF THE
AREA HAS YET TO FALL BELOW 80 DEGREES AS OF 09Z...PREFER TO ADD SOME
CUSHION WITH TEMPS AS CONVECTION MAY DIMINISH DURING THE AFTERNOON
FROM THE W WITH THE TROUGH PASSAGE. CAN/T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SVR
THREAT TODAY IN POCKETS OF INSTABILITY THAT DEVELOPS...BUT BRIEF HEAVY
RAINFALL AND LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS FROM THE
STRONGER STORMS.

THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN BY EARLY EVENING...ALTHOUGH WILL
HAVE TO LOOK UPSTREAM THIS EVENING NEAR THE NEARLY STATIONARY COOL
FRONT...AS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BNDRY WILL INCREASE BY
EARLY EVENING ALONG A 30KT SWRLY LLJ...AS THE NEXT SHORTWAVE ROUNDS
THE PLAINS TROUGH. THE NAM GENERATES MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY
THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT OVER NW AR/SE OK/N TX /ON
THE ORDER OF 2000-3000 J/KG/...AS VERY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
ROUND THE TROUGH. THUS...SCT SVR CONVECTION WILL LIKELY DEVELOP EARLY
THIS EVENING OVER THESE AREAS...WHICH SHOULD BEGIN TO PROPAGATE ESE AS
ANOTHER POTENTIAL MCS INTO SE OK/SW AR/EXTREME NE TX. INSTABILITY
DOWNSTREAM NW OF THE I-30 CORRIDOR IS PROGGED TO BE A BIT LOWER GIVEN
THE PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER/SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS...ALTHOUGH CAN/T RULE
OUT A SVR THREAT AS WELL SHOULD CONVECTION BECOME ORGANIZED ENOUGH TO
PRODUCE COLD POOLING WHICH WOULD SIGNIFY AN ENHANCED DAMAGING WIND
THREAT. WILL KEEP HIGH CHANCE POPS AREAWIDE TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH ANY
POTENTIAL MCS THAT DEVELOPS SHOULD WEAKEN OVERNIGHT AS LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE WEAKENS IN RESPONSE TO THE LOW LEVEL FLOW VEERING MORE
WSW OVER THE REGION.

CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN TO WIND DOWN WEDNESDAY FROM NW TO SE...WITH
THE PRIMARY UPPER TROUGH PASSAGE. SHORT TERM PROGS INDICATE THAT THE
COLD FRONT MAY BE REINFORCED SWD BY THE MORNING CONVECTION INTO
EXTREME NE TX/SW AR WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT SHOULD WASH OUT DURING THE
DAY. BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THE STORMS
WEDNESDAY...AS LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL REMAIN QUITE WEAK ATOP A VERY
MOIST PW ENVIRONMENT /AOA 2 INCHES/. WILL MAINTAIN HIGH CHANCE POPS
FOR THE SRN HALF OF THE REGION WEDNESDAY...TAPERING POPS GRADUALLY
FROM THE NW DURING THE AFTERNOON.

UPPER RIDGING OVER NRN MX WILL BEGIN TO BUILD E ACROSS WCNTRL TX
FRIDAY...BEFORE EXPANDING E OVER OUR REGION DURING THE WEEKEND. THE
GFS DOES WANT TO GENERATE A POTENTIAL MCS IN THE NW FLOW ROUNDING THE
RIDGE EARLY FRIDAY MORNING ACROSS SE OK/SW AR. THE ECMWF IS MUCH
DRIER...MAINTAINING A STRONGER RIDGE FARTHER E THAN THE GFS. WILL SIDE
THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST WITH THE GFS...UPPING POPS TO CHANCE
OVER ALL BUT THE WSW PORTIONS OF E TX. THIS MAY BE OUR LAST BOUT WITH
RAIN FOR SOME TIME AS THE RIDGE EXPANDS E AND AMPLIFIES...WITH TRIPLE
DIGIT HEAT NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY BY LATE IN THE
WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK...ESPECIALLY OVER E TX. HAVE TRENDED TEMPS
ABOVE MOS FOR THE LATTER EXTENDED...ALTHOUGH THE EXTENDED TEMPS WILL
BE GOVERNED TO SOME EXTENT AS TO HOW MUCH RAIN WE CAN RECEIVE DURING
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. MLU AND LFK ARE ALREADY SITTING AT 30 STRAIGHT DAYS
WITHOUT RECEIVING /MEASUREABLE/ RAINFALL.

CONCERNING THE ARKLATEX...SHRA WILL CONTINUE E OF KLFK...TO KELD.
MEANWHILE...A LINE OF TSTMS APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. MVFR/VFR CIGS

SOME DAMAGING WINDS IN BOWS OR HAIL IN TALL STORMS. MAY ONLY SEE
ANOTHER 6 HRS OUT OF THESE...BUT MORE EXPECTED LATER TODAY AND
