The Ft Hood radar (KGRK), 76 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 06:48 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.

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 Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 27, 1:30 AM CDT, 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 27, 1:30 AM CDT, 16 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
130 AM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016

.UPDATE...
Please see the 06Z aviation forecast discussion below.

&&

.AVIATION...
Convection continues to flourish north of I-10 early this morning.
This will put the focus on thunderstorms over the AUS terminal for
the next several hours. Elsewhere, some isolated convection is
noted over the southern Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande plains.
We'll continue to mention TEMPO groups for TSRA at AUS for the
next couple hours, then mention VCTS through 10Z. Elsewhere,
convection chances appear low enough to not mention in the
forecast for early this morning. Otherwise, cigs will develop this
morning and are expected to lower into IFR after 10Z along I-35.
Some improvement is expected by mid-morning along I-35, but most
sites should remain MVFR well into the afternoon. Out west at
KDRT, cigs should lower into MVFR around 10Z, then quickly improve
by mid-morning as westerly winds spread over the terminal.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1109 PM CDT THU MAY 26 2016/

UPDATE...
The forecast has been updated for the early cancellation of WW
#217 where thunderstorm activity has diminished over the last
couple hours. Farther east across the Hill Country, I-35 corridor
and into the Hwy. 77 corridor a new severe thunderstorms watch
(#221) is now in effect until 3 AM CDT. Rain chances have also
been raised significantly for areas generally along and north of
I-10. Complicated surface pattern in place with an outflow
boundary roughly along a Llano to LaGrange line, with stout
southerly flow in the low-levels to the south and southwest of
this boundary. In addition, lone cell over the western Hill
continues to remain severe while moving eastward. This will lead
to additional showers and storms for most areas north of I-10.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 318 PM CDT THU MAY 26 2016/

UPDATE...
In coordination with SPC, we have issued a Severe Thunderstorm
Watch along and northwest of a Junction to Uvalde to Del Rio line.
Showers and thunderstorms continued to develop over the Serranias
del Burro mountains to southwestern Texas. Strong instability and
shear are noted across our area.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 232 PM CDT THU MAY 26 2016/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Friday Night)...
Have issued a Flash Flood Watch for areas along and east of a
Burnet to Boerne to San Antonio to Karnes City line for this
afternoon through late tonight. A surface boundary from morning
rains over Central Texas is slowly drifting south along the I-35
corridor and provided lift to generate showers and thunderstorms.
PWS have risen to near 2 inches across the Hill Country and South
Central Texas tapering to near 1.5 inches along the Rio Grande.
Due to earlier clearing skies allowing convective temperatures to
be reached, showers and thunderstorms have developed out west from
the Serranias del Burro of Mexico across the Big Bend into
southwestern Texas. Expect showers and thunderstorms to continue
across the eastern areas with locally heavy rains causing some
flooding this afternoon into evening. Showers and thunderstorms
out west will organize and move east across our area this evening
into the overnight hours. This will cause another round of locally
heavy rains. With the rains ongoing in the east adding to the
saturated soils...the threat for flooding will continue into the
overnight hours especially across eastern areas. An upper level
trough will move northeast across the plains states on Wednesday
forcing a dryline into the Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande Plains
on Friday. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along and east
of the dryline. More locally heavy rains are possible with PWS
near 1.8 inches east of I-35. CAPEs of 2000 to 4000 j/kg and 0-6
km shear will allow for strong to severe storms this afternoon
through Friday evening.

LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)...
A series of upper level impulses will move across the southern
tier of states. A moist and unstable airmass lingers over our area
due to a persistent southeasterly lower flow off the Gulf of
Mexico. As a result, periods of showers and thunderstorms are
expected Saturday through Thursday. Similar to the short term, a
few strong to severe storms and locally heavy rains with flooding
are possible.
