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

Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 12:00Z, 9.8 hours before the alert went out and 163 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 3:37 PM EDT, 2 hours 11 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
337 PM EDT FRI JUN 28 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTH ACROSS
THE AREA THIS WEEKEND AND BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY FOR MUCH OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
THE UPPER TROUGH/LOW OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES IS PROGGED TO SAG
SOUTH TONIGHT. WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME DIURNAL DECREASE TO THE
SHOWER/STORM ACTIVITY...IT IS LIKELY THAT AREAS OF NE OH/NW PA WILL
STILL BE CAUGHT IN THE DEEPER CIRCULATION AND SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT
COULD OCCUR AS WELL NEAR LAKE ERIE TONIGHT. WILL NOT ISSUE A FLOOD
WATCH AT THIS POINT SINCE IT IS JUST SPECULATION BUT WILL MONITOR.
IT IS QUITE WET ESPECIALLY OVER EXTREME NE OH/NW PA. ELSEWHERE
WILL SHOW A SLOW DECREASE IN THE PROBABILITY OF RAIN BUT WILL KEEP
AT LEAST A SMALL CHANCE GOING ALL NIGHT.

FORECAST LOWS WILL BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE...
MOSTLY IN THE LOWER 60S. DEWPOINTS WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE LOWER
60S TONIGHT AND LOWS LAST NIGHT UPSTREAM WERE GENERALLY IN THE
LOWER 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
THE MAIN SHORT WAVE IS PROGGED TO DIG SOUTH ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES ON SATURDAY...ULTIMATELY TO CLOSE OFF OVER THE MIDWEST BY
SUNDAY AND THEN DRIFT...AND DRIFT. KIND OF HARD TO PIN DOWN WHEN AN
ORGANIZED BATCH OF SHOWERS/STORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH...IT MAY BE
MOSTLY DIURNAL. WILL HAVE A HIGHER POP ACROSS NE OH/NW PA SATURDAY
MORNING OTHERWISE WILL SHOW A GENERAL INCREASE IN POP EACH DAY AND A
DECREASE EACH NIGHT. WITH THE BOUNDARY FLOW COMING AROUND FROM
THE NORTH THERE COULD BE A BIT OF A LAKE SHADOW EACH DAY WITH
SOMEWHAT LESS ACTIVITY RIGHT ALONG THE LAKE SHORE UNTIL SOMETHING
CAN COME ACROSS THE LAKE FROM THE CANADIAN SIDE. THE ACTIVITY
COULD ACTUALLY INCREASE A LITTLE BY MONDAY...SOME OF THE MODELS
SHOW THE INVERTED TROUGH ALONG THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE APPALACHIANS
RETROGRADING WEST.

DO NOT EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO CHANGE MUCH FROM DAY TO DAY. AS LONG
AS WE CAN GET A LITTLE SUNSHINE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SNEAK INTO
THE MID AND UPPER 70S...PERHAPS TOUCH 80 IN A FEW SPOTS. LOWS
GENERALLY IN THE LOWER 60S...A FEW UPPER 50S IN THE COOLER
OUTLYING AREAS WITH MID 60S AT THE LAKESHORE AND SOME URBAN AREAS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE EXTENDED AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PERSIST
THROUGH MID WEEK. EXPECT TO SEE VARIABLE CLOUDS WITH INTERMITTENT
SCATTERED TSRA...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
MODELS SHOW A BREAK TOWARD END OF FORECAST PERIOD...BUT RIGHT NOW
CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON ANY SPECIFIC TIMING.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
PRODUCING SCATTERED TSRA ACROSS ENTIRE AREA. TSRA SHOULD DIMINISH
AFTER SUNSET WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND AS SHORTWAVE MOVES
SOUTH OF AREA.

DO EXPECT IFR STRATUS AND BR TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. STILL DOUBTS IN
MY MIND AS TO THE EXTENT...MUCH WILL DEPEND UPON HOW MUCH RAIN WE
RECEIVE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.

.OUTLOOK...NON-VFR IN SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS
EARLY MORNING FOG THROUGH TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS MARINE FORECAST.  LOW PRESSURE WILL
LINGER OVER LAKE ERIE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...THEN SLIDE SOUTH OF THE
LAKE ON MONDAY. NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON
INTO MONDAY. THE LAKE WILL LIKELY BECOME CHOPPY AS A NORTHEAST FLOW
OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS DEVELOPS ON THE LAKE.  WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO
MONITOR...BECAUSE IF GRADIENT JUST A BIT STRONGER MAY WELL NEED A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY.

&&

.CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
OH...NONE.
PA...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
