The radar
The Austin/San Antonio radar (KEWX), 86 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:56 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
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 12:00Z, 9.9 hours before the alert went out and 150 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.

ALLENWhat 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 31, 3:28 PM CDT, 1 hour 28 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 31, 3:28 PM CDT, 1 hour 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 328 PM CDT TUE MAY 31 2016 .SHORT TERM (Tonight through Wednesday Night)... The first of many heavy rain episodes and storm complexes is currently passing through the CWA. The evolution of this system, which is a combination of high instability, high PWAT, mesocale boundary interactions, and upper level shortwave disturbances will be indicative of the next few days. Hi-resolution models have been essentially guessing at how to handle convective initiation and coverage over the last several days...and with the exception of a decent HRRR handling of today's activity, have not improved. Thus, basically the forecast has heavily favored the synoptic models in conjunction with collaboration with neighbors and regional offices. Looking west of the current convection...IR satellite is showing convection enhancing across New Mexico and south of the Big Bend region. Believe this area will be round number 2 of heavy rain potential overnight tonight. While this round will not have the benefit of the higher instability from this afternoon, and a somewhat worked over atmosphere, would expect this activity out west to evolve into a mature MCS and move east into at least the western half of the CWA late tonight into tomorrow morning. There may be a lull in activity between the Wednesday morning activity but it will likely only be brief as the atmosphere destabilizes again into the afternoon and yet another shortwave swings northeast across...again...the Big Bend and Edwards Plateau. It is extremely difficult to hone in on specific amounts in any particular region, but given the antecedent conditions that have been well advertised, the flash flooding risk will be significant between now and Wednesday night. && .LONG TERM (Thursday through Tuesday)... The heavy rain and flooding threats continue Thursday as the main upper low responsible for all of these shortwave disturbances enters the state. By Thursday morning, focused upper level lift associated with the right entrance region of the upper low will be positioned from Del Rio to Waco. This, coupled with the same moisture and instability considersations to today and Wednesday will likely be our most significant heavy rainfall threat. At the surface, the EURO and GFS both indicate the development of a surface low over West Texas and pushes southeast along the Rio Grande River. This will...yet again...provide a surface based focus to additional heavy rain development Thursday afternoon and as the main upper low begins to slow in its movement and becomes more stagnant, could potentially result in training heavy rainfall as well. This round could persist through Friday morning before the heavy rain potential begins to finally wane Friday evening...if the upper low does indeed move east as progged. As a result...QPF values have further increased, now expected the potential for 4-7 inches between now and Friday morning but with the potential for some areas to reach as high as 15 inches before this event is over with. If this estimate comes to fruition, flash flooding impacts will be severe. And with so much uncertainty in the positioning of certain variables, it is not possible to highlight any one particular area for this threat. So all persons in South Central Texas should prepare for the prospect of flash flooding, perhaps extreme flash flooding, and make plans to be potentially impacted. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
