Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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 tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Amarillo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Nov 16, 3:39 PM CST, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 16, 3:39 PM CST, 1 hour 27 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
339 PM CST MON NOV 16 2015

.DISCUSSION...
AS A LOW APPROACHES THE AREA...TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE REACHED THE
70S AND DEW POINTS INTO THE 50S. THIS HAS ALLOWED THE PANHANDLES TO
BE PRIMED FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED OVER THE WESTERN PANHANDLES AND
WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA AND MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST.
SOME OF THE STORMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SEVERE WITH HAIL UP TO QUARTER
SIZE AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH. THE SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS CAPE OVER THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS
OF THE AREA IS FORECAST TO BE AROUND 1600J/KG. EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR
IS LARGE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT DISCRETE SUPERCELLS. HIRES MODELS ARE
INDICATING THESE DISCRETE CELLS WILL TURN INTO A QLCS LATE THIS
EVENING AND THIS LINE OF STORMS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE PANHANDLES BY
MIDNIGHT IF IT FOLLOWS THE TEXAS TECH WRF. IF IT FOLLOWS THE
HRRR...THE LINE WILL FORM EAST OF THE AREA.

ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW...THE OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE WILL SEE WRAP AROUND PRECIP IN THE FORM OF RAIN
TRANSITIONING TO SNOW ON TUESDAY AND CONTINUING INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE NAM AND GFS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT ON THIS PART OF THE EVENT NOW
AND ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE LIGHT WITH TOTALS UP TO ONE HALF
INCH...MOSTLY IN THE NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE. WINDS WILL
STRENGTHEN TUESDAY TO THE 25 TO 35 MPH RANGE SO VISIBILITIES MAY
DROP WHEN SNOW IS FALLING. THESE VALUES ARE CURRENTLY LOWER THAN
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS BUT A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED IF
VISIBILITY DROPS LOW ENOUGH.

AS THE LOW MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST AND PRECIP MOVES OUT OF THE
AREA...WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY ARE LOOKING TO BE DRY. TEMPS
SHOULD BE AROUND SEASONAL VALUES EXCEPT FOR SATURDAY WHEN A DRY COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH AND COOLS TEMPS FOR THE DAY BUT THE RETURN OF
SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD BRING TEMPS BACK UP BY SUNDAY.
