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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
604 PM EDT WED MAY 27 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL TAPER OFF
OVERNIGHT...LEAVING WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS IN PLACE. A COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY WITH MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH AND WEST THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY WITH LESS HUMID CONDITIONS. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE SATURDAY WITH MORE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
...AS OF 6 PM EDT...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 227 REMAINS IN
EFFECT ACROSS SOUTHERN VT/WESTERN MA/NW CT AND THE MID HUDSON
VALLEY. IT HAS BEEN CANCELLED ELSEWHERE...
A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDS FROM SW VT INTO THE
MID HUDSON VALLEY...WITH A TRAILING STRATIFORM AREA OF RAIN
EXTENDING INTO THE S/E PORTIONS OF THE CAPITAL REGION AND SE
CATSKILLS. AREAS S AND E OF THIS LINE...SB CAPES REMAIN ABOVE
1000 J/KG...WITH SOME POCKETS OF 1500 J/KG. SO CAN NOT RULE OUT
ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN THESE AREAS. FARTHER N AND
W...WHERE THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRED EARLIER...THE AIR MASS HAS BEEN
WORKED OVER ENOUGH...AND THE SEVERE THREAT HAS ENDED.
THIS LINE SHOULD CONTINUE MOVING E/SE THROUGH 7 PM.
AFTER THIS LINE MOVES THROUGH...STILL CAN NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM REDEVELOPING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE UPPER
HUDSON VALLEY/WESTERN ADIRONDACKS AND SOUTHERN VT SHORTLY AFTER
SUNSET AS MID LEVEL COOLING AND HEIGHT FALLS SPREAD ACROSS THE
REGION. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT ANY RENEWED ACTIVITY SHOULD THEN
DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING.
THE MAIN COLD FRONT...AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH REMAINS WELL WEST OF
THE REGION ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THIS MAY ALLOW ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO APPROACH THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS
TOWARD DAYBREAK.
OTHERWISE...SOME PATCHY FOG/LOW CLOUDS COULD DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT
GIVEN THE VERY MOIST LOW LEVELS FROM THE RAIN COOLED AIR.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY...THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS
WILL PASS ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE LATE MORNING INTO THE
EARLY/MID AFTERNOON HOURS. THE MID LEVELS WILL BE A BIT COOLER
TOMORROW...AND STILL WITH FAIRLY STRONG WINDS ALOFT. HOWEVER...THE
LOW AND MID LEVELS WILL BE DRIER THAN TODAY. AT THIS TIME...HAVE
INCLUDED MENTION OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
FOR LATE MORNING THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR
AREAS MAINLY E OF THE HUDSON RIVER. IN THESE EASTERN AREAS...HAVE
INCLUDED MENTION OF GUSTY WINDS/SMALL HAIL. CAN NOT RULE OUT AN
ISOLATED MARGINALLY SEVERE CELL IN THE AFTERNOON...ESP FOR
ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. OTHERWISE...DEEP MIXING IN THE WAKE
OF THE FRONT SHOULD ALLOW FOR GUSTY WEST/NORTHWEST WINDS TO
DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON. SOME GUSTS COULD REACH UP TO 35 MPH. MAX
TEMPS SHOULD REACH THE LOWER/MID 80S IN VALLEYS AND MID/UPPER 70S
ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
THU NT-FRI NT...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN...PROVIDING MAINLY CLEAR
SKIES. MID LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL BE RATHER HIGH...SO STILL EXPECT
WARM TEMPS ON FRI...REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 80S IN LOWER
ELEVATIONS...AND UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN. THU
NT/FRI AM WILL BE COOLER...MAINLY IN THE LOWER/MID 50S. FRI NT/SAT
AM WILL BE MILDER...WITH MAINLY 50S TO LOWER 60S.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SAT-SUN...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE IN
THE DAT SAT...AND PASS THROUGH SAT NT/EARLY SUN. THERE ARE SOME
INDICATIONS THAT A WAVE DEVELOPS ALONG THIS BOUNDARY...AS SOME
UPPER LEVEL ENERGY FROM THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS POSSIBLY GETS
CAUGHT AHEAD OF THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. SO...EXPECT
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS BY
MID TO LATE MORNING...THEN SPREAD S AND E FOR MOST AREAS N AND W
OF THE CAPITAL REGION BY MID AFTERNOON...THEN POSSIBLY INTO
WESTERN MA/NW CT BY SUNSET. DEPENDING ON INSTABILITY...SOME SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS COULD OCCUR. SHOWERS SHOULD LINGER INTO SAT NT AND
SUN AM...ESP FOR AREAS S AND E OF THE CAPITAL REGION. TEMPS ON SAT
SHOULD REACH 85-90 IN VALLEYS...AND MID 70S TO LOWER 80S ACROSS
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. SAT NT/SUN AM MINS SHOULD FALL INTO THE 50S FOR
MOST AREAS. COOLER ON SUN...WITH MAXES MAINLY IN THE 60S TO LOWER
70S.
SUN NT-WED...SHOWERS MAY LINGER ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS FOR SUN NT-
MON...DEPENDING IF THE FRONT SLOWS DOWN. OTHERWISE...FAIR AND LESS
HUMID OTHER AREAS...BEFORE HUMIDITY INCREASES AGAIN BY WED. TEMPS
WILL BE AT OR A BIT BELOW SEASONABLE LEVELS.
&&
.AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A PRE FRONTAL TROUGH WITH ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
AFFECT THE TAF SITES THROUGH ABOUT 24Z/01Z. SOME UNCERTAINTIES ABOUT
EXACT TIMING...BUT SELECTED AN HOUR OF MVFR VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS
AT EACH TAF SITE...WHICH CAN BE AMENDED OR SLIGHT TIMING DIFFERENCES
AS THE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AND MOVE EAST. THERE MAY BE SOME VERY
BRIEF IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS BUT AGAIN...
THIS FAR OUT CAN AMEND TO INCLUDE IFR DEPENDING ON HOW THE
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AND MOVE. AFTER ABOUT 01Z/02Z...THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE REGION...BUT A FEW LINGER SHOWERS COULD BE AROUND
THROUGH ABOUT 04Z...WHEN WINDS SHOULD BECOME LIGHT AND SOME MVFR
VISIBILITIES IN FOG AND SOME INTERVALS OF MVFR CEILINGS DEVELOP AT
ALL THE TAF SITES. CONDITIONS COULD FLIRT WITH IFR AT KPSF AND KGFL
AFTER 10Z...BUT CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES COULD LOWER AT ALL SITES
THROUGH 10Z...BUT AGAIN...THE BEST CHANCE FOR IFR IS AT KPSF AND
KGFL. BY 14Z...CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TO VFR AT ALL SITES.
SOUTH WINDS AT 10 TO 15 KT...WITH SOME GUSTS AROUND 20 KT AT TIMES THIS
AFTERNOON...DIMINISHING TO 6 KT OR LESS TONIGHT. WINDS WILL TREND TO
SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE MORNING AT 10 TO 15 KT. WINDS WILL TREND TO WEST
