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

Dodge City, (KDDC), launched 12:00Z, 7.7 hours before the alert went out and 105 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 Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 30, 2:30 PM CDT, 13 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 30, 2:30 PM CDT, 13 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
230 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

...UPDATED FOR THE LONG TERM DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 1004 AM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

WV IMAGERY AND 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS INDICATE A CLOSED OFF UPPER
LEVEL LOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN DAKOTAS. MEANWHILE, A +90KT
UPPER LEVEL JET IS STREAMING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST
INTO NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. NEAR THE SURFACE,
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE STRETCHES FROM CENTRAL NEBRASKA SOUTHWARD
ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS INTO EXTREME WESTERN OKLAHOMA. SURFACE
DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE 50S(F) ACROSS CENTRAL AND MUCH OF SOUTHWEST
KANSAS WITH THE 40S(F) NEAR THE COLORADO BORDER.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 120 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DRIFT SLOWLY EAST ACROSS
WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS INTO CENTRAL KANSAS THIS
AFTERNOON, THEN GRADUALLY DISSIPATE BY THIS EVENING. SMALL HAIL
AND GUSTY WINDS MAY BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY OF THESE SHOWERS/STORMS.
WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS UNLIKELY.

SHORT RANGE MODELS INDICATE THE CLOSED OFF UPPER LOW IN THE
NORTHERN PLAINS SHIFTING EAST ACROSS THE DAKOTAS TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY. MEANWHILE, A TROUGH AXIS ATTENDANT TO THE UPPER LOW WILL
LIFT NORTHEAST OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST
TONIGHT. AS THIS OCCURS, THE SURFACE BOUNDARY/TROUGH EXTENDING
FROM CENTRAL NEBRASKA SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL KANSAS WILL BEGIN TO
PUSH EAST THIS EVENING, SHIFTING THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT FURTHER TO OUR EAST. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE
POSSIBLE EARLY THIS EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS, INCLUDING NEAR
AND ALONG A LINE FROM ST. JOHN TO MEDICINE LODGE. HOWEVER,
WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED. MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS
ARE THEN EXPECTED INTO FRIDAY AS AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES
FURTHER EAST INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION WHILE DRIER AIR
NEAR THE SURFACE ADVECTS EAST-SOUTHEAST INTO WESTERN KANSAS.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL TONIGHT AS LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS
TAKE HOLD ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN KANSAS WHILE SKIES REMAIN MOSTLY
CLEAR. WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE 30S(F) NEAR THE
COLORADO BORDER TO THE 50S(F) HOLDING IN CENTRAL KANSAS, LOOK FOR
LOWS MAINLY DOWN INTO THE 50S(F) LATE TONIGHT WITH LOWER TO MID
60S(F) POSSIBLE IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS WHERE INCREASED MOISTURE
WILL REMAIN. A WEST TO NORTHWESTERLY DOWNSLOPE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS FRIDAY AS THE SURFACE BOUNDARY/TROUGH
ADVANCES FURTHER TO THE EAST. THE NAM AND GFS SHOW TEMPERATURES AT
H85 RANGING FROM AROUND 20C IN CENTRAL KANSAS TO NEAR 25C IN FAR
SOUTHWEST KANSAS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND
A DOWNSLOPE FLOW ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS, LOOK FOR HIGHS WELL UP
INTO THE 80S(F) TO NEAR 90F.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 226 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

THE MOST RECENT LONG RANGE MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
THE 5H PRESSURE PATTERN, OUT THROUGH ABOUT 84 HOURS, THEN THE GFS
BECOMES SLIGHTLY MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THE TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES
AREA.  FURTHER DOWN THE FORECAST, THERE WILL BE A LARGE UPPER LOW
MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE NORTHERN STATES MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY.  A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL SAG DOWN INTO THE PLAINS AND
MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH VORTICITY AND UPPER LEVEL LIFT FOR THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS.  FURTHERMORE, A COLD FRONT WILL PASS BY
FRIDAY NIGHT AND BRING COOLER AIR SOUTHWARD INTO KANSAS.  HIGHS ON
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL ONLY BE IN THE LOWER 70S TO LOWER 80S.
SATURDAY WILL ALSO GET WINDY WITH NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH
AND GUSTY.  SO IT WILL BE COOL AND WINDY SATURDAY.  AFTER SUNDAY,
THE UPPER FLOW WILL TURN TO THE WEST AND GO ZONAL, AND A SOUTHWEST
FLOW AT THE SURFACE WILL PUSH SURFACE TEMPERATURES BACK INTO 90S FOR
BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY.  THE MODELS ARE DEPICTING A DRY LINE
FORMING BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY, WITH A COLD FRONT CRASHING THROUGH
LATE TUESDAY.  FOR NOW, WITH THAT SURFACE SET UP AND MINOR
DISTURBANCES FLOWING OVERHEAD, THERE COULD BE SOME SEVERE WEATHER
DEVELOP BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY AFTERNOONS.  THIS SITUATION WILL
NEED TO BE MONITORED.  THAT COLD FRONT PASSING THROUGH LATE TUESDAY
WILL KNOCK HIGH TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE 80S FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.  THE UPPER MINOR WAVES PASSING QUICKLY THROUGH THE PLAINS
DURING THE MID WEEK WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION CHANCES GOING FOR WEDNESDAY,
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1201 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING. AS FOR WINDS, A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM SOUTHERN
NEBRASKA SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS INTO FAR WESTERN OKLAHOMA
WILL PUSH SLOWLY EAST TODAY AND TONIGHT. AS A RESULT, LIGHT AND
VARIABLE WINDS WILL BECOME WESTERLY 10 TO 20KT THIS AFTERNOON THEN
BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE AGAIN THIS EVENING AFTER SUNSET.
