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 flash flood 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
Reno, NV (KREV), launched 12:00Z, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 193 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.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Reno, NV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 3, 2:05 PM PDT, 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 2:05 PM PDT, 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV 205 PM PDT FRI JUL 3 2015 .SYNOPSIS... ABUNDANT MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION WILL BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING NEAR THE CALIFORNIA COAST WILL CONTINUE THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. LOCAL FLASH FLOODING, FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WILL REMAIN THE PRIMARY THREATS WITH THESE STORMS. && .SHORT TERM... FEW CHANGES MADE TO THE SHORT TERM AS DEEP MOISTURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE EASTERN SIERRA INTO WESTERN NEVADA. CURRENT DEW POINTS ARE IN THE 50S WITH PW 1-1.2 INCHES, NEAR RECORD LEVELS FOR EARLY JULY. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED FROM TAHOE NORTH TO WESTERN LASSEN COUNTY WITH ANOTHER LINE OVER THE SIERRA FRONT. THESE STORMS ARE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF A SHORT WAVE EVIDENT IN WV IMAGERY MOVING NORTH THROUGH THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY. ANY STORM IS CAPABLE OF TORRENTIAL RAINS IN THIS ENVIRONMENT AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN THIS EVENING. SOUTH OF THIS WAVE, THERE IS SUBSIDENCE SO CUT BACK ON THE STORMS THIS EVENING FOR MONO-MINERAL COUNTIES. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD WIND DOWN OVERNIGHT, BUT A FEW WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE. SATURDAY STILL LOOKS LIKE IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A VERY ACTIVE DAY AS ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN NEVADA DURING THE AFTERNOON. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY REMAIN HIGH ALONG WITH LIGHT FLOW ALOFT FOR SLOW MOVING STORMS. AGAIN, LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING REMAINS A CONCERN AND IT COULD AFFECT SEVERAL AREAS TOMORROW. CONSIDERED ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH, BUT WILL HOLD OFF. MODELS ARE INDICATING SOME MORNING CLOUD COVER WHICH MAY LIMIT THE INSTABILITY ENOUGH TO KEEP THE THREAT LOWER. RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS THE BEST POTENTIAL WILL BE ALONG THE 395 CORRIDOR WHERE MUCH OF THE RAINFALL HAS FALLEN THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. IN ADDITION, A WEAK AFTERNOON ZEPHYR IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WHICH WOULD ENHANCE CONVERGENCE AND ADD LOW LEVEL FORCING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE WELL INTO THE EVENING AT LEAST NORTH OF I-80 AS THE SHORT WAVE MOVES THROUGH BEFORE SLOWLY DIMINISHING. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE A QUIETER DAY WITH A LITTLE LESS MOISTURE AND SOME SUBSIDENCE BEHIND SATURDAY'S WAVE. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL DEVELOP AND PROPAGATE EAST DURING THE DAY WITH ANOTHER WEAK ZEPHYR. WALLMANN .LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... SO MODERATE CHANGERS WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST, MAINLY CONCERNING THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE. MID RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR NEXT WEEK. THERE ARE SOME INITIAL TIMING VARIANCES FOR MONDAY BETWEEN GFS AND THE ECMWF WITH THE EC A LITTLE SLOWER WITH THE WAVE ON MONDAY. HOWEVER, AGREEMENT BECOMES MORE CONSISTENT MONDAY NIGHT ONWARD. LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING THE SIERRA WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW INCREASING. PREVIOUSLY, THE THOUGHTS WERE THAT FLOW WOULD BE TOO DRY FOR CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW. HOWEVER, RESIDUAL MOISTURE WILL KEEP THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST. THE LOWEST LEVELS ARE DRIER, SUGGESTING THAT SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING MODERATE TO STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS. DID CHANGE SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORM PLACE MORE OVER THE SIERRA INITIALLY BEFORE TRANSITIONING INTO MAINLY WESTERN NEVADA WITH STRONGER WESTERLY FLOW IN THE AFTERNOONS. OTHERWISE, TEMPERATURES WILL STAY MUCH CLOSER TO SEASONAL AVERAGES. THIS IS MAINLY DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTING EASTWARD ALLOWING THE HEAT DOME TO ABATE ACROSS WESTERN NEVADA AND THE SIERRA. && .AVIATION... AVIATION WEATHER WILL BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY AS ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AGAIN OVER THE REGION. BEST COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD BE ALONG THE SIERRA AND JUST EAST INTO FAR WESTERN NEVADA AND NORTHEAST CALIFORNIA. OUTSIDE THE STORMS VFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY...BUT WITHIN THE STORMS LOWERED CIGS AND VSBYS ARE LIKELY ALONG WITH A CHANCE FOR SMALL HAIL. TURBULENCE IS LIKELY NEAR THE STORMS AS WELL. ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS IS EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY...THEN LESS STORMS ARE LIKELY FOR SUNDAY. 20/BOYD && .REV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NV...NONE.
