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
Reno, NV (KREV), launched 12:00Z, 10.9 hours before the alert went out and 171 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 Reno, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 25, 2:04 PM PDT, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 25, 2:04 PM PDT, 1 hour 49 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV 204 PM PDT THU JUL 25 2013 .SYNOPSIS... MOIST AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN CALIFORNIA AND WESTERN NEVADA INTO THE WEEKEND. SOME STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE, PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN, LARGE HAIL, AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. && .SHORT TERM... UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE SOUTHERN CA COAST AND RIDGE OVER THE FOUR CORNERS ARE INTERACTING TO BRING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO THE REGION OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. DEEP MOISTURE, BETWEEN 0.75-1.0" OF PRECIPITABLE WATER AND AN ERODING CAP WILL HELP TO DEVELOP SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. STORMS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO INITIATE OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE CENTRAL SIERRA SOUTH OF TAHOE, AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTH ALONG THE SIERRA FRONT, INCLUDING RENO-CARSON-TAHOE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. THIS LARGE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL MAKE THE STORMS FAIRLY WET, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENING HOURS WITH SOME LOCATIONS SEEING LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL. FLASH FLOODING MAY BE POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY AROUND RECENT WILDFIRE BURN SCARS, INCLUDING IN DOUGLAS AND LYON COUNTIES NEAR THE BISON FIRE. VERY INTERESTING THING ON VISIBLE SATELLITE THIS MORNING, WE HAD SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS IN LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WITH SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS. THIS IS VISUAL CONFIRMATION THAT THE SHEAR IS INCREASING OVER THE REGION AND STORMS THAT DEVELOP TODAY OVER THE EASTERN SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS, LARGE HAIL, AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. STORMS WILL CONTINUE WELL INTO EVENING AND EVEN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THERE IS MID-LEVEL MOISTURE BEING PULLED UP FROM THE SOUTH, ALONG WITH A MID/UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND JET MAX ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE. BOTH NAM AND GFS MODIFIED SOUNDINGS ARE SUGGESTING ELEVATED CAPE AROUND 100-200 J/KG, ESPECIALLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80. THESE STORMS WILL BE HIGH BASED (AROUND 15K FEET MSL) WITH FAST STORM MOTIONS, MEANING LITTLE TO NO RAINFALL EXPECTED WITH THESE STORMS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, AS MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY REMAIN OVER THE REGION. AS THE UPPER LOW PUSHES FURTHER TOWARD THE NORTHERN CA COAST, THIS WILL INCREASE SHEAR ALOFT EVEN MORE, WITH CONTINUED POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT AS WELL, WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE. THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD FURTHER EAST ON FRIDAY, INTO WEST-CENTRAL NEVADA. WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER LOW FOR SATURDAY, BECAUSE IF THE LOW PUSHES FASTER INTO NORTHERN CA ON SATURDAY, THIS COULD LIMIT THUNDERSTORM FORMATION OVER OUR AREA TO ONLY THE FAR EASTERN ZONES. OTHERWISE, WE COULD SHOULD SEE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORM COVERAGE AGAIN EAST OF HIGHWAY 395. HOON .LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... NO CHANGES MADE TO THE ONGOING FORECAST AS MODELS REMAIN IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. A TROUGH MOVING INTO THE WEST COAST WILL BRING DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST NEVADA BEGINNING SUNDAY. REMNANT MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY COULD LEAD TO THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT SUNDAY AFTERNOON, BUT IT LOOKS TO BE CONFINED MAINLY TO AREAS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 95, ESPECIALLY AS AFTERNOON WEST WINDS INCREASE. BEYOND SUNDAY, THE AIRMASS WILL BE TOO DRY AND STABLE FOR ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. A LONGWAVE TROUGH AND SOUTHWEST FLOW REMAIN OVER THE WEST THROUGH MIDWEEK WITH SEVERAL PIECES OF ENERGY SHIFTING INLAND. THIS WILL BRING TYPICAL AFTERNOON ZEPHYR WINDS TO THE SIERRA FRONT WITH GUSTS OF 20 TO 30 MPH EACH DAY. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A STRONGER TROUGH WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY, WHICH MAY ENHANCE WINDS A BIT AND BRING SOME CLOUD COVER, BUT NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES TO GRADUALLY COOL THROUGH THE PERIOD, TRENDING CLOSER TO SEASONAL NORMS. THIS TRANSLATES TO LOW TO MID 90S IN WESTERN NEVADA VALLEYS AND UPPER 70S TO MID 80S IN SIERRA VALLEYS. DJ .AVIATION... THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FIRE ALONG THE SIERRA BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND THEN PUSH OFF INTO FAR WESTERN NV MID AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. THE GFS/NAM SHOW SUBTLE A SHORTWAVE FEATURE THAT MAY KEEP CONVECTION GOING WELL INTO THE EVENING. ON FRIDAY, THE ATMOSPHERE WILL DESTABILIZE FURTHER AS AN UPPER LOW MOVES CLOSER TO THE WEST COAST. SO COVERAGE IS GOING TO INCREASE WITH OVERALL STORM INTENSITY INCREASING. HEAVY RAIN, GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL WILL ACCOMPANY STRONGER CELLS. HOHMANN/HOON && .FIRE WEATHER... MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE TODAY AS SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES AND THE RIDGE AXIS LIFTS NORTHWARD. INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MAIN CONCERNS WITH STORMS WILL BE FOR HAIL, LIGHTNING, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS, AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE RELATIVELY WET AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE AROUND 1.00 INCH AND DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE HIGH 40S TO LOW 50S, ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80 THE NEAR SURFACE LAYER WILL BE DRY INITIALLY, SO STORMS WILL BE MORE HYBRID IN NATURE BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO WETTER STORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. A SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE SIERRA AND WESTERN NEVADA LATE TONIGHT, WHICH MAY RESULT IN ISOLATED ELEVATED CONVECTION FROM THE TAHOE BASIN NORTHWARD TO THE OREGON BORDER. IF ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS INITIATE TONIGHT, THEY WILL BE RELATIVELY DRY WITH INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR DRY LIGHTNING AND FIRE STARTS. FORECAST MODELS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT WITH THE LOCATION OF THE SHORTWAVE TONIGHT, FORECASTER CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH FOR WHERE STORMS WILL INITIALLY DEVELOP. ALTHOUGH, BOTH MODELS DO HIGHLIGHT BETTER CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPMENT FROM INTERSTATE 80 NORTHWARD FOR TONIGHT. LINDAMAN && .REV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NV...NONE.
