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
Dodge City, (KDDC), launched 00:00Z, 3.5 hours before the alert went out and 118 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.

NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 26, 6:10 PM CDT, 4 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 26, 6:10 PM CDT, 4 hours 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 610 PM CDT SUN JUL 26 2015 ...UPDATED FOR 0Z AVIATION DISCUSSION... .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 100 PM CDT SUN JUL 26 2015 SHORT RANGE MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTING EASTWARD OUT OF THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS TONIGHT WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE DIGS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. AS THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE APPROACHES, A SERIES OF H5 VORT MAXIMA WILL EJECT NORTHEAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES INTO THE HIGH PLAINS OF EASTERN COLORADO THIS EVENING SETTING THE STAGE FOR POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY MONDAY. ALTHOUGH THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN FAIRLY WEAK, THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN THE VICINITY OF THE LEE SIDE TROUGH IN EASTERN COLORADO AS LOWER/MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN. ANY DEVELOPING STORMS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO DRIFT EAST-NORTHEAST INTO WEST CENTRAL AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST KANSAS LATER THIS EVENING. MUCAPES IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG OUT ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER ALONG WITH FAVORABLE VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES SUGGESTS A HEIGHTENED POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS. BASED ON NAM/GFS MODEL SOUNDING HODOGRAPHS, INCLUDING FAVORABLE 0-6KM SHEAR, AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. VERY MILD TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT AS A PREVAILING SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO REINFORCE THE WARMER AIR MASS SETTLED ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS OF WESTERN KANSAS. LOOK FOR LOWS GENERALLY DOWN INTO THE 70S(F) TONIGHT WITH A FEW UPPER 60S STILL POSSIBLE IN WEST CENTRAL KANSAS, ESPECIALLY IF SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY THUNDERSTORMS. HOT TEMPERATURES ARE LIKE MONDAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLIES. SHOULD SEE HIGHS TOP OUT AROUND TO A LITTLE ABOVE 100F MONDAY AFTERNOON. A HEAT ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON. .LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY) ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT SUN JUL 26 2015 MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TURNING EASTWARD OUT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES MONDAY NIGHT THEN PUSHING FURTHER EAST INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS TUESDAY. AN ATTENDANT COLD FRONT IS THEN PROJECTED TO MOVE SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN KANSAS SOMETIME TUESDAY AFTERNOON, PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR POTENTIAL THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH THE FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN FAIRLY WEAK WITH AN UPPER LEVEL JET CORE REMAINING TO OUR NORTH ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA AND NEBRASKA, ENOUGH MOISTURE PRESENT WILL CREATE ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO HELP INITIATE STORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE VICINITY OF THE COLD FRONT AS IT MIGRATES ACROSS THE STATE. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES CONTINUE INTO LATE WEDNESDAY AS THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL OUT AFTER PUSHING FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE IN ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS CREATING AN EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS. ALONG WITH PLENTY OF INSTABILITY, THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED LATE WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY. VERY WARM TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TUESDAY EVEN AS AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT BEGINS TO PUSH INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. A PREVAILING SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY WILL KEEP A WARM AIR MASS IN PLACE ALLOWING HIGHS TO CLIMB WELL UP INTO THE 90S(F) WITH NEAR 100F STILL POSSIBLE IN SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS. RELATIVELY COOLER AIR WILL FILTER SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN KANSAS WEDNESDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT AFTER IT MOVES FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW H85 TEMPERATURES DROPPING SEVERAL DEGREES DOWN TO AROUND 20C ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS BY THE AFTERNOON TIME FRAME. HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH ONLY UP INTO THE 80S(F) ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES MAY REBOUND A LITTLE THURSDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SETS UP ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS BRINGING BACK A SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW TO WESTERN KANSAS. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 610 PM CDT SUN JUL 26 2015 VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH EARLY PORTIONS OF THE NIGHT AS A TROUGH OF UPPER LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO WESTERN KANSAS. ISOLATED STORMS ORIGINATING FROM EASTERN COLORADO WILL PROPAGATE EAST AND MAY REACH AS FAR EAST AS KGCK BY AROUND 3Z. OTHER THAN THE CHANCE FOR STORMS VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS AROUND 10-15 KNOTS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
