Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
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
Dodge City, (KDDC), launched 12:00Z, 8.5 hours before the alert went out and 74 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.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 325 PM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016 ...Updated for Long Term... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue Jun 28 2016 For this evening, an outflow boundary will continue push south of Dodge City, with some strong to severe storms possible. Hail to quarter size and heavy rainfall possible. A supercell or two is also possible with larger hail with some stronger upper winds today than yesterday. Then later tonight a Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCS) is forecast to move in from Nebraska. Will carry highest chances across south central sections then blend smaller chances west. Severe storms are not expected later tonight, except for some strong winds to 50 mph and small hail, lots of lightning and areas of heavy rainfall. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 60s. For Wednesday, upper level northwest flow will continue with a cold front near the Oklahoma border. Will carry 20 to 30 percent chances wtih the better chances south and east of Dodge City. South winds shift to the east and northeast with a cold front. Highs look to be from the upper 80s near and east of Dodge City with mid 90s for parts of southwest Kansas. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 323 PM CDT Tue Jun 28 2016 For the period of Wednesday Night into next Tuesday, an active northwest flow pattern continues into Thursday then begins to flatten out with more shortwaves into Sunday. By Monday and into Tuesday chances for rainfall become less as any jet stream features shift north. Areas of thunderstorms are forecast daily with the best chances mainly in the evenings and overnights into Sunday. Highs will be cooler, with mainly lower to mid 80s into Sunday, then warming to around 90 to 95 on Monday and Tuesday. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 60s. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1156 AM CDT Tue Jun 28 2016 Light east to southeasterly upslope will prevail with VFR conditions.
