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
Miami, FL (KMFL), launched 12:00Z, 9.1 hours before the alert went out and 71 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.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 15, 2:33 PM EDT, 2 hours 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 15, 2:33 PM EDT, 2 hours 33 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 233 PM EDT TUE MAY 15 2012 .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT-THURSDAY NIGHT) RECENTLY ANIMATED WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWED THE LOCAL AREA SITUATED BETWEEN A POSITIVELY-TILTED UPPER TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWEST FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION TO TEXAS AND A RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING NORTH OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WITH MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW STREAMING OVERHEAD. A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WITHIN THIS SOUTHWEST FLOW APPROACHING FROM THE WEST COMBINED WITH PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE...DAYTIME HEATING AND INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT ENHANCED RAINFALL COVERAGE THROUGH THE EVENING PERIOD TODAY. THE LATEST RADAR LOOP SHOWED QUITE A BIT OF CONVECTION ALREADY DEVELOPING ALONG THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE SPREADING INLAND. HRRR...NCEP AND LOCALLY RUN WRF SOLUTIONS ARE GENERALLY INDICATING THE BEST COVERAGE SETTING UP OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING PERIODS BEFORE TRENDING DOWN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. SOME STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG WITH GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL. IN ADDITION...PERIODS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLOODING IN THE TYPICALLY PRONE AREAS THROUGH THIS TIME. WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE MODELS REMAIN IN DECENT AGREEMENT AND GENERALLY INDICATE THE UNSETTLED CONDITIONS CONTINUING WITH ELEVATED RAINFALL CHANCES. A FEW NOTABLE DIFFERENCES FOR TOMORROW AND THURSDAY WILL BE THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO VEER TO THE SW AS A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES. UPPER HEIGHTS WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO DECREASE THROUGH THIS TIME AS THE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE COMBINATION OF THESE FEATURES ALONG WITH PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION EACH DAY WITH THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY EXPECTED OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. 85/AG .LONG TERM...(FRIDAY-TUESDAY) THE LATEST MODEL PACKAGE HAS BACKED OFF ON DEVELOPING A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS THIS WEEKEND KEEPING THE STATIONARY FRONT OVER CENTRAL FLORIDA. THIS IN TURN KEEPS THE TROPICAL MOISTURE IN PLACE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THIS WEEKEND ALONG WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF MODEL CONTINUES TO SHOW LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS...WHICH IN TURN PUSHES THE FRONT THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA ON FRIDAY. THE ECMWF MODEL ALSO CONTINUES TO SHOW DRIER AIR WORKING INTO THE CWA FOR THE WEEKEND FROM THE NORTH. BECAUSE OF THE INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE GFS MODEL RUNS AND THE CONSISTENT RUNS WITH THE ECMWF MODEL ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOW IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS...WE WILL BE FOLLOWING THE ECMWF MODEL RUNS FOR THE WEATHER FORECAST THIS WEEKEND. THEREFORE...WE WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW THE FRONT PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA ON FRIDAY WITH DRIER AIR WORKING INTO THE CWA FOR THIS WEEKEND. THE POPS THIS WEEKEND WILL REMAIN AT 20 PERCENT OVER THE CWA THIS WEEKEND WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS EACH DAY. BNB && .MARINE... LIGHT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THURSDAY OVER ALL OF THE LOCAL WATERS OF SOUTH FLORIDA. THIS WILL KEEP THE SEAS AT 2 FEET OR LESS IN BOTH THE ATLANTIC AND GULF WATERS OF SOUTH FLORIDA. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY THIS WEEK OVER THE LOCAL WATERS OF SOUTH FLORIDA...WHICH MAY LEAD TO BRIEF PERIODS WITH GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY CHOPPIER CONDITIONS. && .FIRE WEATHER...
