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 Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 20, 10:18 PM EDT, 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 10:18 PM EDT, 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1018 PM EDT SAT JUN 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE BILL WILL PASS ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC STATES TONIGHT. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN
WITH THE ASSOCIATED HEAT SUNDAY THROUGH MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1016 PM EDT SATURDAY...

REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BILL ARE CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE
OHIO VALLEY... AND CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE OUR WEATHER... AS A SURFACE
TROUGH/CONFLUENT AREA EXTENDED FROM THE LOW INTO NORTH CAROLINA...
WHILE THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS... AND VORT MAX CROSS OVERNIGHT.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP... MAINLY IN THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA... CLOSER TO THIS FORCING. EXPECT THE
ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS MOVES
EASTWARD. WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE
AREA... WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S MOST PLACES... WILL SUPPORT WARM
LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 410 PM EDT SATURDAY...

THE PERSISTENT SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN US COAST IN
RECENT DAYS WILL RETROGRADE INTO THE INTERIOR SOUTHEAST AND RE-
ESTABLISH INFLUENCE INTO THE CAROLINAS/SOUTHERN MID-ATLANTIC STATES
IN THE WAKE OF THE REMNANTS OF BILL. HOT TEMPERATURES WILL
CONSEQUENTLY CONTINUE OVER CENTRAL NC...WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S. A MODIFIED EML AND ASSOCIATED STEEP MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ~7.5 C/KM WILL BE DIRECTED EAST ACROSS THE TN VALLEY AND
CENTRAL APPALACHIANS BY SUN AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE THE EML SHOULD LARGELY CAP THE ENVIRONMENT TO DEEP
CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL NC...THE STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT WOULD
SUPPORT EXPLOSIVE THUNDERSTORM GROWTH WHERE/IF THE CAP CAN BE
BROKEN...WITH THE RELATIVE BEST CHANCE OF THAT BEING OVER THE
NORTHERN PIEDMONT DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON-EVENING OWING TO THE
PROBABLE APPROACH OF UPSTREAM STORMS FROM THE HIGHER TERRAIN OVER
THE VIRGINIAS. PERSISTENCE LOWS AGAIN MOSTLY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM SATURDAY...

AFTER A BRIEF BREAK IN THE PERSISTENT MID LEVEL RIDGING THIS
WEEKEND...RIDGING WILL ONCE AGAIN EXPAND EASTWARD ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST US THROUGH EARLY/MID NEXT WEEK. GIVEN THIS FEATURE AND THE
FACT THAT THE MAIN BAND OF WESTERLIES WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE
AREA...ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED MAINLY DIURNAL STORMS ARE
EXPECTED. IN ADDITION...ANOTHER ROUND OF EXCESSIVE HEAT IS EXPECTED
WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S (LIKELY NECESSITATING MORE
HEAT ADVISORIES) AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOW/MID 70S.

THE RIDGE OVER THE EAST COAST IS PROGGED TO BREAK DOWN BY THE END OF
THE WEEK AND ESPECIALLY INTO THE WEEKEND AS ANOTHER RIDGE REALLY
BEGINS TO AMPLIFY ON THE WEST COAST...THUS INDUCING TROUGHING ON THE
EAST COAST. A FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. ALL
OF THIS WILL LEAD TO INCREASING PRECIP CHANCES AND A BREAK IN THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT (ALTHOUGH TEMPS WILL STILL BE ABOVE NORMAL).

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 739 PM SATURDAY...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO CROSS THE AREA THIS
EVENING... BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF PERIODS OF SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS. OTHERWISE... VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE 24
HOUR PERIOD. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE... WITH GUSTS OF 20-30
KTS DIMINISHING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.

OUTLOOK: MAINLY VFR...EXCEPT FOR IN MAINLY DIURNALLY-DRIVEN SHOWERS
AND STORMS AMIDST WEST TO WEST NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...SOME OF WHICH
MAY EVOLVE INTO A RELATIVELY ORGANIZED COMPLEX OF STORMS CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING STRONG-SEVERE WIND GUSTS...THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.
