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.

What 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 Goodland, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 23, 6:37 PM CDT, 4 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 6:37 PM CDT, 4 hours 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
537 PM MDT THU JUL 23 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1235 PM MDT THU JUL 23 2015

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG SURFACE TROUGH LINE
RUNNING FROM OGALLALA NEBRASKA TO LIMON COLORADO. BETTER COVERAGE
OF STORMS WILL BE NORTH OF I-70 WITH MEAN WINDS CARRYING ANY
STORMS TO THE EAST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. STRONGER STORMS WILL
BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY
RAINFALL.

TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN A BIT SLOW TO CLIMB TO AFTERNOON HIGHS
GIVEN THE PERSISTENCE OF MORNING STRATUS...BUT KEPT MAX TEMPS
TODAY IN THE MIDDLE 90S SEEING THE RAPID RECOVERY LAST HOUR OR
TWO. FRIDAY WILL BE ANOTHER HOT DAY IN THE 90S.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 105 PM MDT THU JUL 23 2015

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING FRIDAY EVENING ALONG THE
COLD FRONT DRAPED ROUGHLY ALONG I70 AND SLOWLY SINKING SOUTH. VERY
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE
BOUNDARY ALONG WITH 30-35KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR...SUFFICIENT FOR
A FEW SEVERE STORMS AND PERHAPS A SUPERCELL. NOT MUCH IN THE WAY
OF SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING SO COVERAGE WILL BE LIMITED. BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON THE FRONT WILL BE FAR TO THE SOUTH LEAVING THE LOCAL
AREA IN A POST FRONTAL UPSLOPE REGIME. ONCE AGAIN SYNOPTIC FORCING
WEAK BUT THERE IS A HINT OF SHORTWAVE TROUGH TOPPING THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS RIDGE AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE/INSTABILITY FOR AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP. SHEAR SOMEWHAT LESS THAN
PREVIOUS DAYS SO SEVERE THREAT WILL BE RATHER LIMITED BUT STILL
SOME STRONGER STORMS POSSIBLE. OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPEARS TO
RETURN NORTH ON SUNDAY AS WARM FRONT AND MAY BE A FACTOR FOR
THUNDERSTORM INITIATION. LARGE SCALE PATTERN WILL CHANGE VERY
LITTLE WITH ANOTHER POSSIBLE WEAK TROUGH ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER
RIDGE IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING RESULTING IN SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS.

UPPER RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN EARLY NEXT WEEK AS STRONG SHORTWAVE
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. WHILE BEST FORCING
WITH THAT SYSTEM WILL REMAIN TO THE NORTH...LOCAL AREA WILL BE ON
THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF STRONGER WINDS ALOFT AND SOME INCREASE IN
SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES ROTATING THROUGH THE
BASE OF THE TROUGH. END RESULT WILL BE SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE POPS
FOR THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 537 PM MDT THU JUL 23 2015

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AT BOTH KGLD AND KMCK THROUGH THE
FIRST 9 HR OF THE TAF PERIOD. FOG/STRATUS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA/NORTHCENTRAL KANSAS AROUND SUNRISE
FRIDAY...WHICH COULD IMPACT KMCK. CURRENT GUIDANCE LEANS TOWARDS
PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS...SO DID NOT LOWER VIS BELOW 6SM. OTHER
AVIATION CONCERN IS POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS. WHILE COVERAGE
HAS BEEN ISOLATED IT STILL APPEARS BASED ON RADAR AND SHORT RANGE
GUIDANCE THAT A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY MOVE WITHIN VICINITY OF
EITHER TERMINAL IN THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE TAF PERIOD. LOOKS
LIKE THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS STRONGER UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES INTO
THE REGION.
