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

Boise Airport, ID (KBOI), launched 12:00Z, 8.2 hours before the alert went out and 215 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.

CLOSED 500 MB LOW OVER COLORADO AND ANOTHER OVER SOUTHERN BRITISH
COLUMBIA. A DINKY LITTLE SHORT RIDGE BETWEEN THE TWO THIS MORNING
OVER NEVADA IS KEEPING SKIES CLEAR FOR THE MOMENT. THE COLORADO
LOW WILL FILL AND DRIFT EAST ALLOWING THE BC LOW TO DIG INTO THE
GREAT BASIN THROUGH TUESDAY.DEEP LAYER RH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
OVER MOSTLY NORTHERN NEVADA BUT THE LOW LEVELS ARE UTTERLY
DRIPPING. THERE IS MUD EVERYWHERE. EXPECTING THIS MICROLAYER RH TO
ENABLE MORE CONVECTION THROUGH THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. IN

GETTING HARD TO FIND NEW THINGS TO SAY IN INTERESTING WAYS.
OH...ONE ADDITION. WITH CLEARING SKIES...SOME PATCHY FOG IS LIKELY

BRINGING SNOW TO IDAHO AND NE NEVADA...SPECIFICALLY THE HIGHEST
PEAKS IN THE JARBIDGE WILDERNESS AREA AND THE RUBIES...IN ADDITION
TO ANOTHER ROUND OF VALLEY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TS. AS THE TROF AXIS
MOVES INTO EASTERN NV WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SHOWERS WILL DECREASE FROM
THE WEST. THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN FORECAST CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE A

AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN ELKO AND WINNEMUCCA WILL BE BACK IN THE
80S FOR THE WEEKEND...WHICH WILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOUT NORMAL FOR THE
