The radar

The Cheyenne radar (KCYS), 154 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:23 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

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 Cheyenne, WY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 1, 5:32 PM MDT, 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 5:32 PM MDT, 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHEYENNE WY
532 PM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 302 PM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH
SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED. DEVELOPMENT HAS ALREADY
OCCURRED OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. BATCH OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY OVER ALBANY COUNTY WILL SPREAD
EAST INTO THE PLAINS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS CONVECTION
SHOULD HELP ERODE IF NOT BREAK THE CAP. AT ANY RATE...SHOULD SEE
THE CAP BREAK SOMETIME THIS AFTERNOON WITH STORMS DEVELOPING AND
EVENTUALLY BECOMING SEVERE.

MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL BUT DAMAGING WINDS
AND A FEW TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
VERY JUICY AIR IN PLACE AT THIS TIME WITH DEW POINTS MAINLY IN THE
50S TO LOW 60S EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. THE ONE EXCEPTION BEING
AROUND CHEYENNE WHERE A DRY PUNCH DROPPED THE DEW POINTS INTO THE
30S. MU CAPES FROM CURRENT ANALYSIS RUNNING BETWEEN 2000-3000
J/KG...NEARLY DOUBLE THAT OF YESTERDAY BUT WIND PROFILES ARE
SIMILAR. IMPRESSIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WITH INCREASING WINDS FROM
THE BOUNDARY LAYER THROUGH THE EQUILIBRIUM LEVEL. THIS WILL
SUPPORT SUPER-CELL THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG UPDRAFTS. HAIL SIZES
COULD BE VERY LARGE...CERTAINLY HAIL OVER 2 INCHES IS POSSIBLE AND
COULD SEE A FEW STORMS PRODUCING BASEBALL SIZED HAIL. WIND THREAT
APPEARS TO BE RATHER STANDARD WITH 60-70 MPH WINDS. ALSO...THERE
IS A CHANCE FOR TORNADOES. CURRENTLY A COUPLE BOUNDARIES IN PLACE
OVER THE AREA WHICH COULD BE A FOCUS FOR TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT.
ALSO EASTERLY SURFACE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO 10 TO 15
MPH BY THIS EVENING. THIS COULD ENHANCE THE TORNADO THREAT FOR A
TIME THIS EVENING. THE HIGHEST TORNADIC THREAT APPEARS TO BE NEAR
A SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY IN THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AND
ADJACENT PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL WY EARLY THIS EVENING.

MODELS ARE NOW PUSHING THE MAIN AREA OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR TOMORROW. THIS WILL
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FOR FRIDAY.
MAINLY GARDEN VARIETY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY WITH THE
ONLY POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE MAY BE THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE
BUT THAT DEVELOP ON WHERE THE LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY RESIDES. BOUNDARY
IS FORECAST TO SLAM BACK TO THE WEST FRIDAY NIGHT. COULD SEE SOME
FOG AND LOW CLOUDS EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE AS THE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE INCREASES. MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON BUT TOUGH TO GUAGE THE STRENGTH AT THIS POINT...BUT
BASED ON CURRENT MODELS COULD SEE A FEW MORE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 302 PM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

AN UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO HOLD JUST WEST OF THE CWA FOR MUCH
OF THIS PERIOD...EXTENDING BASICALLY FROM TEXAS NNW JUST WEST OF
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHAIN. SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE UNDER THIS RIDGE FROM THE DESERT SW ACROSS THE REGION WHICH
WILL KEEP AT LEAST WIDELY SCTD MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
CONVECTION GOING ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH SUNDAY THEN IT MIGHT
BECOME MORE ISOLATED EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE MOISTURE DECREASES A
BIT. A DECENT PUSH OF COOLER AIR IS DEPICTED TO MOVE INTO THE
REGION MIDWEEK AND SHOULD ALLOW FOR MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
STORMS WITH RESULTANT UPSLOPE PATTERN. GFS MAY BE OVERDONE WITH
ITS QPF BUT AT LEAST SCTD POPS LOOK IN ORDER THEN. TEMPERATURES
WARM SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE TRENDING DOWN WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 524 PM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT SOUTHEAST
WYOMING AND THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE THIS EVENING. SOME
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SEVERE WITH LARGE DAMAGING HAIL AND WINDS TO
50 KTS IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
NOT BE A STRONG OVER SOUTHEAST WYOMING THIS EVENING BUT GUSTS TO
40 KTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS
WILL DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY LATER THIS EVENING. FOG
MAY DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT INTO THE NORTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE.
WINDY FRIDAY FROM MID MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON OVER
SOUTHEAST WYOMING WITH GUSTS TO 30 KTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 208 PM MDT THU AUG 1 2013

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND
AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. MAIN CHANCES FOR WETTING RAINS WILL OCCUR
OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE IN THIS AREA TODAY AND FOR FAR EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE DISTRICT ON FRIDAY. FURTHER WEST...SOMEWHAT DRIER AND
BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. MINIMUM HUMIDITIES LOOK TO DROP INTO
THE UPPER TEENS TO LOW 30S WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING 20 TO 30 MPH
TODAY AND FRIDAY. LIGHTER WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR THE WEEKEND.
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL BE MORE WIDELY SCATTERED IN THIS AREA
