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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
435 PM CDT TUE MAY 8 2012

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WED NIGHT/...ALL ATTENTION REMAINS
CENTERED ON THE ONGOING CONV FIRING ACROSS THE WESTERN AND
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE BRO CWA. THE LATEST UPDATE FROM SPC
INDICATES THAT THE SVR WX POTENTIAL IS NOW STARTING TO SHIFT
EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION WHERE
BETTER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND BETTER INSTABILITY IS LOCATED. WW
297 HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO INCLUDE WILLACY AND CAMERON COUNTIES
THROUGH 7 PM. THE LARGE MID LEVEL CLOSED LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DROP
SOUTH AND EAST ACROSS NORTHERN MEX AND THE BORDER REGION WED AND
WED NIGHT. THE APPROACH OF THIS FEATURE WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN THE
POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL CONV THROUGHOUT TOMORROW AND TOMORROW
NIGHT DUE TO PERSISTENT MID LEVEL PVA. AT THE SURFACE THE CLOSE
PROXIMITY OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MID LEVEL
FEATURE WILL ALSO ENHANCE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. ACCORDINGLY WILL
MAINTAIN CHC POPS THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE SHORT RANGE PERIOD.
&&

.LONG TERM /WED NIGHT THROUGH TUES/...THE STRONG MID LEVEL LOW TO
THE WEST OF TX WILL MOVE STEADILY EAST THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK AND WILL BE LOCATED OVER THE MID GULF COAST REGION BY LATE
SAT. 500 MB RIDGING WILL THEN SHIFT FURTHER EAST OVER THE U.S./MEX
BORDER REGION RESULTING IN A DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIRMASS IN
PLACE THROUGHOUT SUN THROUGH TUES. EXPECT TEMPS TO REMAIN NEAR
TO A LITTLE ABOVE CLIMO THROUGH DAY 7. WITH ABOVE NORMAL POPS
THROUGH LATE FRI/SAT AND NIL POPS AFTER SAT.
&&

.MARINE...A FAIRLY LIGHT PG WILL PREVAIL EARLY IN THE CWF PERIOD
MAINTAINING LOW TO MODERATE WINDS AND SEAS. THE PG WILL THEN
STRENGTHEN UP LATER THIS WEEK PUSHING THE WINDS AND SEAS BACK UP
TO SCEC/SCA LEVELS ON THURS AND FRI.
