The radar
The Beale AFB radar (KBBX), 92 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 01:13 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
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 00:00Z, 1.2 hours before the alert went out and 220 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.

JHWWhat 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 Aug 11, 1:35 PM PDT, 4 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 11, 1:35 PM PDT, 4 hours 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV
135 PM PDT MON AUG 11 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY AS LOW
PRESSURE OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST MOVES THROUGH NORTHWEST NEVADA.
A SECOND LOW WILL MOVE INTO OREGON TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY
WILL BRING DRIER CONDITIONS AND GUSTY WINDS. DRY AND WARM
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST WILL GET KICKED INLAND
TONIGHT AND ABSORBED BY A LARGER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN MOVING
TO THE NORTH AT 25-30 MPH SO FAR TODAY, WITH VERY LITTLE RAINFALL
REACHING THE GROUND. THE STRONGER STORMS THE REST OF THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING MAY PRODUCE GUSTY OUTFLOWS TO 60 MPH AND
HAIL.
FOR TONIGHT...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES DO NOT LOOK QUITE AS GOOD WITH
MODELS SHOWING MID/UPPER LEVEL CAPE AND INSTABILITY WITH BEST
FORCING OVER INTERIOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. HOWEVER ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF PORTOLA
TO PYRAMID LAKE TO FALLON. STORMS LATE TONIGHT WILL MOVE QUICKLY,
PRODUCE BRIEF PERIODS OF RAIN WITH DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES, THE
THREAT FOR HAIL AND STRONG OUTFLOWS WILL END BY 9 PM THIS EVENING.
AS THE LOW MOVES OVER NORTHWEST NEVADA TUESDAY, THE BEST CHANCE OF
STORMS WILL BE DOWNWIND OF LASSEN PEAK AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 95 IN
PERSHING AND CHURCHILL COUNTIES. AGAIN STORMS WILL MOVE QUICKLY
PRODUCING LITTLE RAINFALL AND DRY STRIKES.
THE SECOND LARGER LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE OREGON COAST LATE TUESDAY
AND HELP INCREASE WINDS AND LOWER HUMIDITY TUESDAY EVENING AND
TUESDAY NIGHT. GUSTS WILL INCREASE TO AS HIGH AS 30-40 MPH IN THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE TAHOE BASIN, ACROSS NORTHEAST
CALIFORNIA/NORTHWEST NEVADA AND THE FOOTHILLS ALONG HIGHWAY 395
NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. RIDGE GUSTS COULD
BE AS STRONG AT 60-70 MPH. THIS WILL LEAD TO CHOPPY TO ROUGH
CONDITIONS ON AREA LAKES, ESPECIALLY LAKE TAHOE, SO BOATERS WILL
WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE FORECAST AND CHECK CONDITIONS BEFORE
HEADING OUT. BRONG
.LONG TERM...
FEW CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE ONGOING FORECAST AS DETERMINISTIC
MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD LARGE SCALE AGREEMENT. UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING
THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WILL BRING COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND LOCALLY BREEZY WINDS OF 25 TO 30 MPH. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO ABOUT 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL, WHILE LOWS
WILL BE NEAR SEASONAL NORMS. MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL
REMAIN WELL TO THE NORTH, ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND INTO
IDAHO, WHILE NORTHERN CA/NV WILL BE UNDER DRY WESTERLY FLOW.
A GRADUAL WARM UP IS ON TRACK INTO THE WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES
RETURNING TO NEAR NORMAL. FORECAST MODELS ARE HINTING AT ANOTHER
TROUGH DEVELOPING ALONG THE WEST COAST SUNDAY INTO MONDAY, BUT THE
FLOW REMAINS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST, WHICH WILL KEEP THE AREA DRY. DJ
&&
.AVIATION...
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY INITIATED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH
STORMS MOVING FROM THE SOUTH TOWARD THE NORTH. ALL AREA TERMINALS
HAVE A 20-30 PERCENT CHANCE OF BEING IMPACTED BY THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH ABOUT 02Z, WITH BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS AFTER 02Z MOVING
NORTH OF A KTRK-KCXP-KNFL LINE. STORMS TODAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
BRING GUSTY AND ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS OF 40-50 KTS ALONG WITH HAIL
UP TO ONE INCH IN DIAMETER. HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE UNDER STORM
CORES, WHICH WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE CIGS/VIS. STORMS WILL BE
MOVING, SO PONDING OF WATER ON RUNWAYS IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL LINGER NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80 OVERNIGHT
WITH STORMS MAINLY NORTH AND EAST OF A KSVE-KNFL LINE ON TUESDAY.
CONDITIONS WILL BE DRY WITH CLEARING SKIES WEDNESDAY INTO THE
WEEKEND. DJ
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
THE UPPER LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS FORECAST
TO MOVE INLAND TONIGHT AND EXIT THE AREA ON TUESDAY WITH ONE MORE
PERIOD OF ACTIVE WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION. FOR TODAY, THE MAIN
FORCING WILL BE FROM DAYTIME HEATING ALONG THE TERRAIN OF THE
EASTERN SIERRA. STORMS WILL BE STRONGER TODAY WITH BRIEF HEAVY RAIN,
WIND GUSTS TO UP TO 60 MPH AND LARGE HAIL TO ONE INCH IN DIAMETER
POSSIBLE.
UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE INLAND TONIGHT BRINGING A POTENT UPPER
LEVEL PV MAX THROUGH THE REGION (06Z-18Z) WITH STORM BEARING WINDS
INCREASING TO 35KT. STORMS WILL BE ELEVATED TONIGHT AND MOVING
QUICKLY, SO LITTLE IN THE WAY OF RAINFALL WILL OCCUR LATE TONIGHT
FOR AREAS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80. RECENT RAINFALL ALONG THE SIERRA
FRONT AND BASIN AND RANGE WILL LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE FIRE
GROWTH FOR NOW, ALTHOUGH SOME NEW FIRE STARTS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
THE NEXT CONCERN WILL BE LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AS
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ENTERS THE REGION. FIRE OFFICIALS
SHOULD BE AWARE OF HOLD OVERS AS WE TRANSITION TO WINDY AND DRY
CONDITIONS. A DRY SLOT WILL PUSH INTO THE EASTERN SIERRA AND WESTERN
NEVADA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT ALONG WITH INCREASING WEST TO SOUTHWEST
FLOW. THE DRY AIR WILL LIMIT OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES FOR
NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND NORTHWEST NEVADA, INCLUDING THE LAKE TAHOE
BASIN, ESPECIALLY FOR THE MID SLOPES AND RIDGES WHICH WILL RESULT
IN THE POTENTIAL FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON FOR GUSTY WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY FOR ZONES 270, 271, 272,
278 AND 458. HOHMANN/WEISHAHN
