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
Gray, ME (KGYX), launched 12:00Z, 7.3 hours before the alert went out and 36 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.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
1203 PM EDT SAT JUN 23 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE GULF OF
MAINE AND INTO THE MARITIMES TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
FROM THE WEST TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH FROM
THE WEST SUNDAY NIGHT AND WILL STALL OVER NEW ENGLAND MONDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION ON

&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
---1600Z UPDATE---
SLOW MOVERS CONT IN THE MTNS OF MAINE. HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR ALL BUT THE COASTAL AREAS OF MAINE AND NH. CELLS IN NRN
FRANKLIN CO MAY PRODUCE UP TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN DURING THE NEXT 60
MINUTES AT THEY CONT TO BACKBUILD.
/PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS.../
HAVE UPDATED THE GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT
CONDS...INCLUDING THE LARGE BREAK IN THE CLOUD COVER OVER FAR
WESTERN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE. THESE AREAS WILL INITIALLY
DESTABILIZE THIS AFTERNOON...LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG
AND ISOLD SEVERE TSTMS. THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A WIND
THREAT...AND WITH THE LOWERING OF HEIGHTS ALOFT...HAIL WILL BE A
THREAT AS WELL. FOR THIS REASON...ENHANCED WORDING HAS BEEN ADDED
TO THE GRIDS.
STILL MONITORING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALLY TORRENTIAL
DOWNPOURS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES HAVE COME DOWN A
LITTLE...HWVR THERE IS STILL A THREAT OF A QUICK TWO INCHES OF
RAIN OR SO AND THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED FLOODING AND FLASH
FLOODING IN ISOLD STMS THIS AFTN AND INTO THIS EVE. ENHANCED
WORDING HAS ALSO BEEN PLACED IN THE GRIDS (AND HWO) FOR THIS POSSIBILITY.
ANOTHER ROUND OF SLOW MOVING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AS
STRONG UPPER TROUGH SWINGS IN FROM THE WEST. AS WITH YESTERDAYS STORMS
HEAVY RAIN MAY CAUSE FLASH FLOODING IN SOME AREAS. PW'S ARE
SOMEWHAT LESS THAN YESTERDAY BUT STILL WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH
VALUES NEAR 1.5 INCHES. PRECIP LOADING WILL LIKELY CAUSE MORE WET
MICRO BURSTS IN HEAVIER CELLS. IN ADDITION DROPPING FREEZING
LEVELS WILL INCREASE THE HAIL THREAT WITH THESE STORMS. FAIR
AMOUNT OF HIGH AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY OFFSHORE WILL LIKELY HOLD DOWN SURFACE HEATING
THIS MORNING SO EXPECT MUCH OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO HOLD OFF
TILL LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON. EXPECT HIGH TEMPS TO RANGE
THROUGH THE 70S TO NEAR 80.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER TROUGH CROSSING THE REGION OVERNIGHT WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND
THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST. BEST CHANCE OF RAIN
WILL BE IN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MAINE ZONES WHERE A PERIOD OF
STEADIER RAIN WILL ACCOMPANY THE BEST DYNAMICS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL
SHIFT EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.
SUNDAY LOOKING PRETTY GOOD AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE
NORTHEAST. EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID
70S TO MID 80S.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRES MOVES OFF TO THE E AS A CD FNT APPROACHES FROM THE W
SUNDAY NGT AS A STRONG UPR LVL TROF DIGS SE TOWARD THE NE U.S.
THIS WILL SPREAD THE CHC OF RW/TRW INTO THE FCST AREA SUNDAY NGT.
THE FNT MOVES SLOWLY E INTO THE REGION ON MONDAY AS A SFC LOW
FORMS ALONG THE FNT. THIS WILL GIVE US A HIGH PROBABILITY OF
RW/TRW ON MONDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME HEAVY RAINFALL WITH
OVER AN INCH OF QPF POSSIBLE.
THE UPR LVL SYSTEM CUTS OFF MONDAY NGT AND STAYS OVER THE NE U.S.
THRU THURSDAY WITH COOL TEMPS ALOFT ALLOWING FOR INSTABILITY CLOUDS
AND CHC RW/TRW. FINALLY ON FRIDAY THE UPR LVL CUTOFF MOVES E AS A
WEAK RIDGE ALOFT MOVES OVER THE REGION. THIS MAY BE SHORT LIVED AS
ANOTHER UPR LVL TROF MOVES IN FROM THE W AND COULD BRING A QUICK END
TO ANY DRY WX ON FRIDAY.
GENERALLY USED GFS40...HPC QPF AND BLEND OF MAV/MET MOS FOR SUNDAY
NGT AND MONDAY. FOR REST OF THE LONG TERM FCST USED GMOS...EXCEPT
USED A BLEND OF GFS40 AND MEX MOS GUIDANCE FOR MAX AND MIN TEMPS.
