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 Bismarck, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 18, 2:24 PM CDT, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 2:24 PM CDT, 1 hour 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
224 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 224 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014

MAIN FORECAST ISSUE TODAY WILL BE CONVECTION THROUGH TONIGHT.

CURRENTLY...TORNADO WATCH 322 IS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL. SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH
DAKOTA WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH INTO SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA.
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO POOL OVER CENTRAL AND
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA ALONG THE INVERTED TROUGH HELPING TO
DESTABILIZE THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW LIFTING
NORTH THROUGH MONTANA IS PROVIDING ABUNDANT UPPER LEVEL DIFLUENCE
OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. IMPULSES LIFTING NORTH AROUND THE
UPPER LOW ARE PROVIDING ABUNDANT BULK SHEAR AS THE SYSTEM NEARS.
THIS ENTIRE SETUP IS RESULTING IN AN INCREASED RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

REGARDING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN
EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES ARE SITUATED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT BACK EDGE OF CONVECTION LOOKS TO BE
ESTABLISHING ITSELF OVER BOWMAN COUNTY. THUS THE WESTERN EXTENT OF
THE WATCH LOOKS GOOD. THIS AREA WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE OUT OF THE
HEAVY RAIN THREAT THIS EVENING. FARTHER EAST...EASTERN PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA FROM THE TURTLE MOUNTAINS TO THE JAMES RIVER
VALLEY LOOK LIKE THEY MAY NOT SEE CONVECTION UNTIL MID EVENING. BY
THIS TIME THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE LIFTING NORTHEAST. THUS
ALTHOUGH HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED...STORMS SHOULD BE PROPAGATING
FORWARD WITH LESS CHANCE OF STORMS TRAINING OVER THE SAME AREA.
THE AXIS OF GREATEST MOISTURE WILL SHIFT OVER THIS AREA. THUS
THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL OF HEAVY RAIN AND WILL LET THE WATCH
RIDE FOR NOW.

THINGS FINALLY QUIET DOWN LATE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...BUT WITH
THE UPPER LOW TRACKING ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER...WILL KEEP
SOME SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE AREA...MAINLY
AFTERNOON DIURNALLY DRIVEN.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 224 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014

BROAD UPPER LOW SLOWLY WORKS ITS WAY EASTWARD JUST TO THE NORTH OF
THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER KEEPING CYCLONIC FLOW OVER THE AREA THROUGH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
MAINLY OVER THE NRN CWA...THOUGH EXPECT ANY STORMS SHOULD REMAIN
TAME WITH INSTABILITY ON THE WEAK SIDE. QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED
FRIDAY NIGHT BEHIND DEPARTING LOW AS IT STARTS TO SHIFT MORE
NORTHEASTERLY. AN ACTIVE WESTERLY FLOW PATTERN DEVELOPS FOR THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...BRINGING A NEAR DAILY CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS/STORMS. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR AVERAGE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 224 PM CDT WED JUN 18 2014

MAINLY VFR CIGS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. FOR THE WEST AND CENTRAL
WE CANNOT RULE OUT MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS IN ANY HEAVY RAIN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR KBIS KDIK AND KISN. THE THREAT OF
THUNDERSTORMS AND MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS BECOMES WIDESPREAD ACROSS
THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...WITH IMPACTS TO
ALL TERMINALS EXPECTED. CONDITIONS IMPROVE WEST THIS EVENING AND
CENTRAL OVERNIGHT.
