The radar

The Corpus Christi radar (KCRP), 201 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 02:28 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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

Corpus Christi, TX (KCRP), launched 00:00Z, 2.5 hours before the alert went out and 218 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.

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...ANTICIPATE
CONVECTION THIS EVENING OVER THE WRN CWA OWING TO DECREASING CIN
AND SBCAPE VALUES INCREASING TOWARD 2500-3000 J/KG PER LAPS
ANALYSES. THE WRN SECTION OF THE OUTFLOW BNDRY THAT IS NEARLY
STATIONARY OVER THE WRN CWA MAY PROVIDE LIFT. ADDED PATCHY FOG
AGAIN TO THE FCST FOR THE 09-14Z THURSDAY PERIOD. BASED ON
PERSISTENCE/SREF VISIBILITY PROBABILITY OUTPUT/SOME DRYING
ALOFT/SATURATED SFC LAYER. CONCUR WITH GFS DETERMINISTIC WHICH
PREDICT AN UPPER DISTURBANCE TO MOVE ACRS NRN/CNTRL TX THURSDAY.
THIS SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO GENERATE ADDITIONAL CONVECTION NORTH OF
THE CWA WHICH MAY PROPAGATE INTO THE CWA (SREF MEAN QPF OUTPUT
ADDS CREDENCE TO THIS SCENARIO.)

COASTAL...COMBINING FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO RIP CURRENTS...
THE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS REMAIN MODERATE THIS EVENING/TONIGHT.

LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...PROGRESSIVE PATTERN CONTINUES
WITH ACTIVE WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND. UPPER TROUGH WILL
BE EXITING EARLY IN THE PERIOD...BUT A WEAK SHORTWAVE...STALLED WEAK
FRONT...AND FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME
CONVECTION CONTINUING DURING THE DAYTIME FRIDAY. THE NEXT...MORE
VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE APPROACHES ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH ASSOCIATED
UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. MODEL AGREEMENT PRETTY GOOD
WITH OVERALL SET UP...THOUGH SOME MINOR TIMING DIFFERENCES. PWAT
VALUES BACK INTO THE 1.5 TO 1.75 INCH RANGE AND DIFFLUENCE ALOFT
SHOULD SUPPORT SCATTERED TO POTENTIALLY LIKELY POPS. GFS A BIT
HIGHER WITH QPF NUMBERS AT THIS TIME.

WILL FINALLY SEE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILD EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH ONLY
A COUPLE OF BRIEF SHOTS OF SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. THIS RIDGING WILL
ALSO LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS EXPECTED INTO
THE LOWER AND MID 90S WEST MONDAY-WEDNESDAY. MID TO UPPER 80S LIKELY
MUCH OF THE EAST.
