The radar
The Laughlin AFB radar (KDFX), 43 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 01:20 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
Del Rio, TX (KDLF), launched 00:00Z, 1.3 hours before the alert went out and 95 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.

TB3What 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 Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 14, 6:48 PM CDT, 1 hour 28 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 14, 6:48 PM CDT, 1 hour 28 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 648 PM CDT THU MAY 14 2015 .AVIATION... CONVECTION SOUTH OF SAN ANTONIO SHOULD DISSIPATE BEFORE GETTING TO THE AIRPORTS...BUT IT COULD MAKE IT BEFORE SUNSET. ANY TSRA/SHRA WILL DROP CIGS TO MVFR...OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING. CIGS WILL DROP BY 04Z OR 05Z IN AUSTIN AND SAN ANTONIO. AT ABOUT THIS TIME EXPECTING CONVECTION TO MOVE INTO DRT FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THERE IS LESS OF A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MAKE IT TO SAN ANTONIO AND AUSTIN LATER OVERNIGHT. AFTER STORMS PASS CIGS WILL IMPROVE THROUGH THE LATE MORNING. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 314 PM CDT THU MAY 14 2015/ SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)... LATE AFTERNOON RADAR IMAGERY AND LIGHTNING DATA FROM THIS AFTERNOON SHOW AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION FOR AREAS EAST OF I-35...WITH THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY OVER THE COASTAL PLAINS. DAYTIME HEATING ALONG WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN A WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT SHOULD ALLOW THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...WE EXPECT A DECREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EAST OF I-35. CAN/T RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER OR STORM OVERNIGHT...BUT WILL ONLY CARRY A 20-30% CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION TONIGHT. A DIFFERENT STORY IS EXPECTED TO UNFOLD OVER THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS AND SOUTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. AN ACTIVE SUBTROPICAL JET ALOFT ALONG WITH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING UP ALONG THE RIO GRANDE SHOULD RESULT IN A ROUND OF CONVECTION THIS EVENING ALONG THE SERRANIAS DEL BURRO MOUNTAINS. STORM MOTION VECTORS SHOW THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE EAST THIS EVENING. RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE LOW- LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS TO AROUND 30KTS. WE COULD ALSO SEE ADDITIONAL STORMS DEVELOP ON LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. STORM MOTION VECTORS REALLY DECREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT...SO SLOW MOVING STORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE A CONCERN. BASED ON RECENT RAINFALL AMOUNTS / POCKETS OF SATURATED SOILS AND EXPECTED AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS NEAR 3 INCHES...WE WILL ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM 15/00Z-15/12Z. ON FRIDAY...RAINFALL CHANCES WILL LIKELY DEPEND ON WHAT OCCURS TONIGHT. FOR NOW...WE/LL FOCUS THE HIGHER CHANCES OF RAINFALL FOR AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 83 AS A STRONGER MID- LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH LIFTS NORTHWARD. GIVEN PLENTY OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL REMAINS A CONCERN. WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...WE SHOULD SEE A DECREASE IN RAINFALL COVERAGE. LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)... WE SHOULD SEE SOME DRYING IN THE MID-LEVELS ON SATURDAY BEHIND A DEPARTING SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THIS WILL REDUCE OUR RAIN CHANCES SLIGHTLY AND WE/LL KEEP A 30-40% CHANCE FOR NOW TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION. THE WEATHER PATTERN TRENDS A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE BEGINNING LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK. SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT STRENGTHENS ONCE AGAIN AS ANOTHER MID-LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS TROUGH SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SEND A WEAK COLD FRONT OR PERHAPS A STRONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTO THE REGION BY LATE MONDAY. THE MODELS ALSO SHOW A NORTHERN STREAM UPPER JET OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WITH A SUBTROPICAL JET OVER NORTHERN MEXICO. THIS SHOULD PUT OUR REGION IN FAVORABLE DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT ON MONDAY AND PERHAPS INTO EARLY TUESDAY. RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK WITH A CONTINUED LONG WAVE TROUGH TO OUR WEST AND ACTIVE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER TEXAS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
