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 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 4, 7:05 PM MDT, 2 hours 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
705 PM MDT SAT JUL 4 2015

.DISCUSSION...

A COLD FRONT IS PUSHING TOWARDS THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER AS OF
7PM MDT. THE FRONT SHOULD CROSS THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER BY 9PM
AND THEN MOVE INTO CENTRAL MONTANA ALONG A LINE FROM GREAT FALLS
TO LEWISTOWN BETWEEN 11PM MDT AND 1AM MDT. THE FRONT WILL REACH
THE HELENA VALLEY AFTER 2AM MDT AND THE BOZEMAN AREA EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ALONG
THE HI-LINE AND GLACIER NATIONAL PARK AS OF 7PM MDT. AS THE FRONT
PUSHES SOUTH...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP.
HAVE LOWERED POPS THROUGH 03Z FOR CENTRAL MONTANA BASED ON THE
SLOWER TIMING OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. THOUGH WINDS ARE GENERALLY
LIGHT AS OF 7PM MDT...WINDS WILL INCREASE AND GUST 25 TO 35 MPH
WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS ARE ALSO
ANTICIPATED IN AND NEAR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY. MLV

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 2330Z.
A CANADIAN COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION
TONIGHT. EXPECT A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH WITH SOME STORMS PRODUCING
GUSTY WINDS THROUGH 10Z SUN. LOW CLOUDS AND LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS IS
POSSIBLE OVER NORTH CENTRAL MT SUN MORNING. A SCATTERED
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON. AN AREA OF SMOKE
WILL ALSO MOVE SOUTHWARD THRU THE REGION ON SUNDAY...LIMITING
VISIBILITIES AND MAKING MOUNTAINS/PASSES OBSCURED AT TIMES. BRUSDA

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 530 PM MDT SAT JUL 4 2015/
TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...A CANADIAN COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD
THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. AT 3 PM THE COLD FRONT WAS STILL NORTH
OF CALGARY...THUS THE MAIN PUSH OF COLD AIR WILL LIKELY MOVE INTO
THE CUT BANK AREA AFTER 7 PM AND IN THE GREAT FALLS AREA AFTER 10
PM. GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS ARE STILL POSSIBLE BEHIND THE FRONT FOR
A FEW HOURS. A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS
EVENING...MAINLY NORTH OF GREAT FALLS ALONG THE COLD FRONT. GUSTY
WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE A BIT
COOLER ON SUNDAY ACROSS THE REGION. THE FORECAST MODELS INDICATE
THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAINFALL TO OCCUR LATE TONIGHT AND ON SUNDAY
MORNING. SOME MODELS HAVE AROUND 0.25 INCHES OF RAINFALL...THIS
MIGHT BE A BIT HIGH...BUT AROUND 0.10 TO 0.20 RAINFALL LOOKS
POSSIBLE FOR MUCH OF NORTH CENTRAL MT LATE TONIGHT THRU SUNDAY
MORNING. IN THE SOUTHWEST...JUST A PASSING SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM IS
POSSIBLE. TEMPERATURES REBOUND ON MONDAY CLOSER TO SEASONAL
NORMALS. THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE FOR MAINLY A MOUNTAIN
THUNDERSTORM IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHWEST MT ON MONDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN THIS HAPPENING...AS WARMER
AIR TRIES TO PUSH BACK NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION. BRUSDA

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT
ON THE LARGE SCALE FEATURES DURING THIS PERIOD. A SHORTWAVE IN THE
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL COMBINE WITH A CANADIAN COLD FRONT TO
BRING SCATTERED SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST
AREA TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO REMAIN NEAR
SEASONAL AVERAGES DURING THIS TIME. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA
OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST IS THEN FORECAST TO MOVE ONSHORE THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AND MOVE NORTHEAST OVER THE GREAT BASIN ON
FRIDAY INTO MONTANA BY SATURDAY. WHILE THE FORECAST MODELS ARE IN
BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF THIS ON THE 04/00Z RUNS THAN
THEY WERE ON THE 03/00Z MODEL RUNS, THIS CURRENT SOLUTION IS ABOUT
24 HOURS LATER THAN THE FORECAST MODELS INDICATED ON THE 03/00Z
RUNS. THIS COULD BE EXPLAINED BY THE FACT THAT THE 03/00Z MODELS MAY
HAVE UNDERESTIMATED THE STRENGTH OF THE BLOCKING RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. REGARDLESS, AS THE FLOW ALOFT
SHIFTS FROM NORTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY ON THURSDAY, THE MAIN CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE FOCUSED ACROSS SOUTHWEST MONTANA.
THEN, AS THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY WITH THE UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS SHIFTING TO THE EAST, THE CHANCE FOR
STORMS WILL SPREAD OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA FOR FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY. WITH UNCERTAINTY REGARDING COVERAGE OF THESE STORMS, HAVE
KEPT CHANCES NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS. WITH THIS SHIFT IN THE FLOW
ALOFT, TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO WARM TO AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. COULSTON
