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, May 28, 8:04 PM CDT, 1 hour 41 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
804 PM CDT MON MAY 28 2012

.UPDATE...
EXPANDED THE SEVERE WATCH SOUTHEASTWARD A ROW OR TWO OF COUNTIES
AFTER COORDINATION WITH SPC AND SURROUNDING OFFICES. CONVECTION
HAS INDEED ORGANIZED INTO A LINE AND WILL CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING
STRONG WINDS. OVERALL INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM SHOULD DIMINISH
GIVEN THE DECREASING INSTABILITY WITH LOSS OF HEATING...INCREASING
CIN ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ZONES...AND MARGINAL DEEP LAYER
SHEAR AVAILABLE. TR.92

&&

.AVIATION...
/00Z TAFS/

CONCERNS...THUNDERSTORMS...MVFR CIGS AT WACO.

THUNDERSTORMS...
SEVERE CONVECTION DEVELOPED NEAR SURFACE BOUNDARY NORTHWEST OF FWD
CWA. ALTHOUGH STORMS INITIALLY HAD AN EASTWARD TRAJECTORY...CELLS
HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TURNING RIGHT TOWARD MOIST INFLOW. MEAN FLOW
WOULD SUGGEST SOUTHEASTWARD PROGRESSION AWAY FROM THE BOUNDARY
WILL CONTINUE THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. INSTABILITY DECREASES
TOWARD THE METROPLEX...AND THE STORMS WILL SOON BE INGESTING A
POST-SUNSET BOUNDARY LAYER. THERE WILL STILL BE FAVORABLE
INSTABILITY DOWNSTREAM THIS EVENING...BUT STORMS WILL LIKELY
DIMINISH IN INTENSITY...REACHING THE METROPLEX LATE EVENING TOWARD
MIDNIGHT. WILD CARD WILL BE A RATHER INNOCUOUS SHORTWAVE NOW IN
NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO (EVIDENT ON WV IMAGERY)...WHICH MAY
APPROACH NORTH TEXAS AROUND MIDNIGHT OR THEREAFTER. FOR NOW...
HAVE LIMITED VCTS/CB TO 04-06Z (11PM-1AM CDT) TIME FRAME. WILL
ASSESS FURTHER WITH 03Z AMENDMENTS.

TUESDAY...
POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION TUESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT WITH
LOW CONFIDENCE...WILL FORGO INCLUSION IN TAFS AT THIS TIME.

WACO...
STORMS WILL STAY WELL TO THE NORTH. STRATUS EXPECTED TO INVADE
CENTRAL AND EAST TEXAS TOWARD DAWN...LIKELY REACHING WACO BEFORE
SUNRISE. IN LATE MAY WARMTH...PAPER THIN LAYER SHOULD EFFECTIVELY
MIX OUT BY 14Z (9AM CDT).

25

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 306 PM CDT MON MAY 28 2012/
CUMULUS HAVE BEEN ON THE INCREASE ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM
BOWIE TO BRECKENRIDGE THIS AFTERNOON...AHEAD OF A FRONT THAT
CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM NORTH-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA TO THE TEXAS SOUTH
PLAINS. THE BOUNDARY IS NOT MAKING MUCH PROGRESS SOUTHEAST...AS
THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED ENERGY CAN BE SEEN ON
SATELLITE TREKKING EAST OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THERE IS
HOWEVER A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE WORKING ITS WAY EAST TOWARDS THE AREA
IN THE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. THIS SHOULD HELP WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THUNDERSTORMS DURING PEAK HEATING LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING IN THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR AHEAD OF THE FRONT...LIKELY
IN THE VICINITY OF THE DEVELOPING CU FIELD.

WINDS HAVE DECREASED SOME TODAY COMPARED TO THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS. MEAN FLOW WILL REMAIN MODEST WITH 500MB WINDS AROUND 30 KTS
INCREASING TO 50 KTS AT 300 MB. HOWEVER...MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
WILL BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS...WITH
PWS INCREASING TO AROUND AN INCH AND A HALF AND SB CAPE NEAR 3000
J/KG. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS.
COVERAGE MAY NOT INITIALLY BE ALL THAT HIGH...BUT COULD QUICKLY
INCREASE WITH TIME ESPECIALLY IF SUFFICIENT CELL MERGERS OCCUR...A
SMALL COLD POOL DEVELOPS AND ACTIVITY BECOMES MORE ORGANIZED.
STORM MOTION TO THE EAST WOULD ALLOW ACTIVITY TO SPREAD EAST
ACROSS NORTH TEXAS TONIGHT...AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN DUE TO THE LOSS
OF SURFACE HEATING AND THE PRESENCE OF A STRONGER CAPPING
INVERSION FARTHER TO THE EAST. AT THIS TIME WILL KEEP THE HIGHEST
POPS TONIGHT OVER THE NORTHWEST AND TAPER THEM OFF TO SLIGHT
CHANCE ALONG A SULPHUR SPRINGS TO GOLDTHWAITE LINE.

UPPER RIDGING IS PROGGED TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN MOSTLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE RED RIVER
NEAR THE QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT DURING THE DAY...BUT MAY THEN
SLIDE SOUTHEAST IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AFFECTING THE
NORTHEASTERN THIRD OF NORTH TEXAS TOMORROW NIGHT. AN IMPRESSIVE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL THEN DROP SOUTHWARD FROM CANADA INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE DEEPENING OVER THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THIS SHOULD FORCE THE COLD FRONT
SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS THURSDAY AND POSSIBLY ALL
THE WAY TO THE UPPER TEXAS COAST ON FRIDAY. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT LATE WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY. THE BEST CHANCES WILL BE OVER THE EASTERN AND
NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES WHERE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE BEST.
TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NEAR OR JUST BELOW NORMAL BY THE END
OF THE WEEK BEHIND THE FRONT.
