The radar

The Brownsville radar (KBRO), 2 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:46 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Brownsville Intl, TX (KBRO), launched 12:00Z, 9.7 hours before the alert went out and 1 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, May 28, 1:51 PM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
151 PM CDT WED MAY 28 2014

.SHORT TERM /NOW THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...CONVECTION IS TRYING
TO FIRE ALONG A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM AROUND PORT
MANSFIELD TO RIO GRANDE CITY. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE
BOUNDARY AND AN INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE /3000 J/KG OF
CAPE/ LOOK TO BE SUFFICIENT TO FIRE OFF A FEW STORMS THE REST OF
THE AFTERNOON. DID INCREASE POPS ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE
BOUNDARY WHICH IS MAKING STEADY SOUTHWARD PROGRESS. ONE OR TWO OF
THESE STORMS COULD APPROACH SEVERE LIMITS BUT DO NOT EXPECT
WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

WITH THE UPPER LOW CONTINUE TO SPIN OVER THE ARKLATEX AND PROGGED
TO DRIFT SOUTH ALONG THE TX/LA BORDER WILL MAINTAIN THE LOW END
POPS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. WEAK PERTURBATIONS AND MODEST
MOISTURE AND A CONTINUED CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE
ENOUGH TO WARRANT THE LOW CONVECTION CHANCES. MODEL GUIDANCE
REMAINS LOW BUT SLIGHTLY HIGHER THEN YESTERDAY. CONVECTION OVER
THE SIERRA MADRE DOES NOT LOOK TO A FACTOR THIS EVENING. DRIER AIR
ALOFT AND A MORE NORTH TO SOUTH FLOW ACROSS NORTHEAST MEXICO LOOK
TO KEEP CONVECTION ISOLATED AND WEST OF THE RIVER RESPECTIVELY.

TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN RATHER HOT DURING THE DAY AND UNSEASONABLY
WARM AND MUGGY AT NIGHT. MAV/MET GUIDANCE CONTINUE TO SHOW NOT AS
WARM DAYTIME HIGHS ON THURSDAY WITH POSSIBLE SOME THICKER HIGH
CLOUDS MOVING IN FROM THE EASTERN PACIFIC. WILL TREND JUST SLIGHTLY
HIGHER THEN THESE MODELS KEEPING THE THICKEST CLOUDS TO OUR SOUTH.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...A MID LEVEL LOW
SPINNING OVER EAST TEXAS WILL SHIFT SLOWLY EAST...BUT WILL STILL
BE WITHIN RANGE...ROUGHLY OVER LOUISIANA...TO MAINTAIN UNSETTLED
CONDITIONS LOCALLY. THE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY FILL AND
FLATTEN OUT GOING INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER HEIGHTS
BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST UNDER MULTIPLE ATTACKS OF SHORT WAVE
TROUGHS MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. IN ADDITION...UPPER
MOISTURE FROM THE CURRENT TS AMANDA IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL
WORK ACROSS MEXICO AND INTO THE SOUTHWEST GULF...WITH FEW TO
SCATTERED HIGH CLOUDS FOR THE CWA AS WELL. IT LOOKS LIKE THE BEST
CHANCE OF CONVECTION REACHING THE CWA WILL BE FRIDAY MOVING EAST
FROM NORTHEAST MEXICO. CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL DIMINISH OVER THE
WEEKEND AS THE ENVIRONMENT BECOMES LESS FAVORABLE...THAT IS...
LESS UPPER MOISTURE...H5 MID LEVEL RIDGING MOVING IN FROM THE
WEST...AND A DISAPPEARING UPPER LOW. SINCE THE SCENARIO HAS NOT
CHANGED A WHOLE LOT...KEPT THE INHERITED FORECAST MAINLY INTACT
WITH ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE. TEMPS FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND
SHOULD BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL WITH A PERSISTENT ONSHORE
WIND. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID 70S FOR MUCH OF THE CWA...
WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER DEW POINTS AND HUMIDITY FOR EASTERN SECTIONS.
A RICHER MIX OF SUN WILL DEVELOP LATE IN THE WEEKEND AS THE MID
LEVEL RIDGING FROM THE WEST GAINS CONTROL.

&&

.MARINE...
NOW THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...BROAD LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE TEXAS
COAST AND BROAD HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL
PRODUCE A WEAK ON SHORE FLOW TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. SEAS
TO LOWER ANOTHER FOOT BY THURSDAY. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED TSTM
ACTIVITY IS HOWEVER EXPECTED TONIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH AN UPPER
LEVEL STORM SYSTEM REMAINING OVER EAST TEXAS.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...A BROAD MID LEVEL LOW OVER LOUISIANA
AND THE NORTHWEST GULF COAST WILL CONTRIBUTE TO CONTINUED UNSETTLED
MARINE CONDITIONS FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND. UPPER MOISTURE FROM
THE REMAINS OF TS AMANDA IN THE PACIFIC MAY ALSO PLAY A ROLE IN
MAINTAINING CLOUD COVER. IN GENERAL...HOWEVER...A FLAT PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE GULF WILL PRODUCE LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHEAST
WINDS AND LOW TO MODERATE SEAS.
