Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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 26, 3:55 PM MDT, 2 hours 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
355 PM MDT SUN MAY 26 2013

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR MON AND TUE...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 222 HAS BEEN IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM
FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE CONVECTION EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S AS FAR WEST AS BILLINGS AS
ATMOSPHERE PRIMING UP. CRAVEN SEVERE WEATHER INDEX PEAKS ABOUT 600
PM IN OUR AREA WITH HIGHEST VALUES FROM EASTERN CARBON COUNTY TO
CUSTER AND POWDER RIVER COUNTIES THIS EVENING. TRIGGER WILL BE A
WEAK DISTURBANCE IN EASTERN UTAH TRACKING ACROSS THE BEARTOOTHS
AND INTO THE HIGH PLAINS LATE TODAY. VERTICAL WIND PROFILE NOT AS
STRONG AS YESTERDAY ACCORDING TO PROGGS...BUT VAD WIND PROFILE
FROM KBLX IS STRONGER THAN PROGGED AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR STILL
EXCELLENT TO SUPPORT UPDRAFTS AND HAIL PRODUCING STORMS...WHICH
WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT FOLLOWED BY LIGHTNING...TORRENTIAL
RAINFALL. STORMS WILL LIKELY SHOW LOTS OF SPIN BY THE TIME THEY
APPROACH ROSEBUD...BIG HORN AND SHERIDAN COUNTIES. INSTABILITY NOT
AS GREAT AS YESTERDAY...SO WE WILL NOT MENTION ISOLATED TORNADO
AT THIS TIME. FORCING AND STORMS WILL LINGER IN THE EAST LATE THIS
EVENING BEFORE EXITING INTO THE DAKOTAS.

FOR MONDAY...STRONG SHORT WAVE TROUGH IN THE MEAN SW FLOW ALOFT
TRACKS OVER MONTANA. THE NEW PROGGS SHOW THE TRACK A LITTLE
FURTHER SOUTH THAN YESTERDAYS MODEL CYCLES. SO THE CHANCE OF BEING
DRY SLOTTED IS A LITTLE LESS. BUMPED POPS UP A LITTLE FOR MONDAY
OVER THE WEST AND SOUTH...BUT THE NORTH AND EAST WILL HAVE THE
BEST CHANCE OF STRONG CONVECTION AS CONVERGENCE ALONG BOUNDARY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT WAVE WILL LIKELY FORM ONCE THE DOWNSLOPE
DEVELOPS IN BILLINGS. THIS AREA WILL THEN MOVE INTO A BETTER
ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT DEEP CONVECTION TO THE NORTH AND NEAR THE
DAKOTA BORDER.

WE SHOULD THEN DRY OUT MONDAY NIGHT AND INTO TUESDAY MORNING AS A
SHORT WAVE RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER US. HOWEVER...BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON
THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH TO OUR WEST MOVES INTO THE ROCKIES WITH
DIVERGENCE AND HEIGHT FALLS GENERATING PLENTY OF LIFT. THIS MEANS
AN INCREASING CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION LATE TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT. BT

.LONG TERM...VALID FOR WED...THU...FRI...SAT...SUN...

AN UNSETTLED EXTENDED PERIOD WAS STILL ON TAP FOR THE FORECAST
AREA. MODELS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN BRINGING A NEGATIVELY
TILTED TROUGH THROUGH THE REGION WED THROUGH THU. MODELS HAD
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF QPF OVER THE AREA WITH THE GFS SHOWING MORE QPF
THAN THE OTHER MODELS. GFS ALSO HAD PRECIPITABLE WATERS OVER AN
INCH OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. CHANCES FOR THUNDER WILL
BE BETTER ON WED THAN THU DUE TO GREATER INSTABILITY. CONTINUED
THE LIKELY POPS FOR BOTH DAYS. MIXING WILL BE LIMITED BOTH DAYS
IN A COOL MOIST AIRMASS. HAVE LOWERED TEMPERATURES FOR THIS
PERIOD.

MODELS DIVERGED WITH THE PATTERN BEGINNING ON FRI AS THE ECWMF
LINGERED THE UPPER TROUGH/LOW OVER THE REGION WHILE THE GFS
SHIFTED IT TO THE E. BOTH MODELS TRIED TO BUILD IN SOME UPPER
RIDGING FOR SAT. MODELS HAD VARYING PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS FOR FRI
SO JUST CONTINUED THE SCATTERED POPS FOR NOW. SAT LOOKED DRIER SO
CONTINUED THE CLIMATOLOGICAL POPS. THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT E ON SUN.
KEPT CLIMATOLOGICAL POPS FOR THIS PERIOD TOO. FRI WILL BE ANOTHER
COOL DAY WHILE SAT AND SUN WILL FEATURE A WARMING TREND. ARTHUR
&&

.AVIATION...

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MON. THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE ACCOMPANIED
BY MVFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
FROM GOLDEN VALLEY TO STILLWATER TO CARBON COUNTIES E THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THESE STORMS WILL HAVE LARGE HAIL AND WIND
GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 KT. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE FROM KMLS E AND S MON AFTERNOON. EXPECT AREAS OF MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION THROUGH MON. ARTHUR
