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
Flgstf/Belemont, AZ (KFGZ), launched 00:00Z, 2.2 hours before the alert went out and 205 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.

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 Las Vegas, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 15, 4:00 PM MST, 3 hours 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 4:00 PM MST, 3 hours 12 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAS VEGAS NV 400 PM PDT SUN JUL 15 2012 .SYNOPSIS...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL REMAIN A THREAT OVER THE EASTERN MOJAVE DESERT...SOUTHERN NEVADA AND NORTHWEST ARIZONA THROUGH THIS EVENING. DRY AND STABLE AIR PUSHING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SIERRA AND WESTERN MOJAVE DESERT WILL BRING A GRADUAL DRYING TREND WITH DECREASING THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE FROM WEST TO EAST MONDAY AND MOSTLY DRY WEATHER TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. && .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOPED DURING THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HAVE SHOWN A WEAKENING TREND AS OF THIS WRITING...BUT CONVECTION COULD EASILY EXPAND DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH DYNAMIC SUPPORT FROM THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA LOW STILL A FACTOR. WATER VAPOR LOOPS SHOWED A SHORTWAVE EJECTING UP INTO SOUTHERN NEVADA THROUGH THIS EVENING AND AN OVERHEAD CURVED JET OF 40-50 KNOTS. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT BUT ISOLATED STORMS COULD KEEP GOING ANYWHERE EAST OF A LINE FROM BARSTOW UP THROUGH MERCURY AND THE WESTERN LINCOLN COUNTY BORDER. MODELS CONTINUE TO INSIST DRYING WILL DEVELOP OVER ALL OF SAN BERNARDINO INTO WESTERN CLARK COUNTY BY MONDAY AFTERNOON BUT PAST EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THEY ARE OFTEN TO QUICK TO SCOUR OUT MOISTURE WHEN IT IS AS ENTRENCHED AS THE CURRENT SITUATION. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD PERSIST OVER MOST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA AND MOHAVE COUNTY ARIZONA MONDAY THEN THE TROUGH ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST STRENGTHENS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS ADDITIONAL ENERGY DROPS OUT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO DEVELOP DEEP DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW AND FINALLY PUSH MOISTURE TO THE EAST AND BRING AN END TO THUNDERSTORMS. .LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO FORECAST FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THE GFS AND ECMWF STILL DEPICT MID LEVEL MOISTURE BEING STRIPPED FROM HURRICANE FABIO WILL BE PULLED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SIERRA THURSDAY WHICH MAY PRODUCE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS. THE TROUGH THEN LIFTS AWAY AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. EXPANDS WESTWARD AND THE DOOR OPENS FOR A RETURN OF MONSOONAL MOISTURE GOING INTO THE WEEKEND. && .AVIATION...FOR MCCARRAN...SHRA/TSRA AROUND THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY AND THE APPROACH CORRIDORS WILL PERSIST THROUGH 03Z THOUGH THE PROBABILITY OF ONE HITTING THE TERMINAL IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO MENTION IN THE TAF. WINDS GENERALLY BE FROM THE SOUTH THROUGH EARLY EVENING BUT WILL BE DRIVEN BY NEARBY SHOWERS AND STORMS BEFORE FAVORING LIGHT DIURNAL TRENDS OVERNIGHT. THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT AFTER 20Z MONDAY. FOR THE REST OF SOUTHERN NEVADA...NORTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA..NUMEROUS SCT SHRA/TSRA WILL PERSIST THROUGH LATE EVENING ESPECIALLY EAST OF A KBJN-KDRA-KEED LINE. GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS AND REDUCED CIGS/VSBY POSSIBLE IN AND NEAR ANY SHRA/TSRA. ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH AROUND 06Z. WINDS AWAY FROM SHRA/TSRA SHOULD FAVOR TYPICAL DIURNAL TRENDS. OTHERWISE FEW-SCT CLOUDS AOA 8K-12K FEET WEST WITH SCT-BKN CLOUDS GENERALLY AOA 10K FEET CENTRAL AND EAST. ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED MONDAY AFTERNOON THOUGH COVERAGE WILL GENERALLY BE CONFINED TO SOUTHERN NEVADA AND NORTHWEST ARIZONA AS DRIER AIR PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST. && .VEF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
