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

Dodge City, (KDDC), launched 00:00Z, 2.9 hours before the alert went out and 155 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.

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 302 PM MDT SAT MAY 26 2012

THROUGH TONIGHT...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS
EVENING TO THE EAST OF A DRY LINE...WITH THE BEST CHANCES IN THE
EASTERN PORTION OF THE AREA WHERE MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL BE
STRONGEST. TORNADO PARAMETERS BASED ON NAM SOUNDINGS ARE LOW IN
THIS AREA...AND STORMS WILL BE HIGH BASED...SO DAMAGING WINDS SEEM
THE MOST LIKELY THREAT...NEXT BEING LARGE HAIL. A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA DURING THE EARLY MORNING...WITH MULTIPLE MODELS
SUGGESTING POTENTIAL FOR PRECIP AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS EVENING
AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. WHILE DEW POINTS WILL BE HIGHER OUT EAST
OVERNIGHT...DEW POINTS WILL RECOVER OVER THE WESTERN PORTION OF
THE AREA. STRONG WINDS WILL DECREASE SLIGHTLY AFTER MIXING ENDS
THIS EVENING...BUT SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY GUSTY UNTIL AFTER THE COLD
FRONT MOVES IN AND CAUSES WINDS TO VEER TO WESTERLY.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...LATEST GUIDANCE HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY
EASTWARD WITH PLACEMENT OF THE DRY LINE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. STILL
LOOKS AS THOUGH LOCATIONS EAST OF A LINE FROM MCCOOK TO GOVE WILL
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SEE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD SHIFT EAST
OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 06Z. WEST OF THE DRY LINE...ANOTHER DAY OF
BORDERLINE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS IS ANTICIPATED. GIVEN
ONGOING FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHT TODAY...WILL DEFER TO THE OVERNIGHT
SHIFT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.

CONDITIONS UNTIL TUESDAY AFTERNOON WHEN A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. WILL CARRY A INCREASING CHANCES FOR
PRECIP THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY WITH SUBSIDENCE OVERTAKING THE
REGION BY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...WILL SEE PERIODIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PRECIP DURING THIS TIME FRAME. A MID/UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO
BUILD ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS RESULTING IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
ACROSS THE TRI-STATE REGION. TOUGH TO PINPOINT TIMING/COVERAGE AT
THIS POINT BUT SLIGHT CHANCE/CHANCE POPS APPEAR REASONABLE. TEMPS
WILL GRADUALLY WARM BACK INTO THE MID 80S BY SATURDAY.
