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
N. Platte/Lee Bi, NE (KLBF), launched 12:00Z, 11.7 hours before the alert went out and 130 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.

HUSTEDWhat 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 Goodland, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 29, 5:07 PM MDT, 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 29, 5:07 PM MDT, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Goodland KS 507 PM MDT SUN MAY 29 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 217 PM MDT Sun May 29 2016 Scattered thunderstorms have developed this afternoon in southeastern part of the area. A weak shortwave trough rotating around the souther plains ridge has provided enough lift in the moderately unstable and weakly sheared environment for large hail in the strongest cores. The shear is forecast to increase a bit this afternoon so storms will likely persist into the evening hours as they gradually lift north with the upper forcing. Monday will present a similar set up as today. Another shortwave trough will rotate in during the afternoon from the southwest. Instability however will be higher...with most of the forecast area moderately to strongly unstable. Deep layer shear will be similar with perhaps a slight increase as well compared to today. As a result...think there will be another round of scattered storms capable of producing large hail. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 151 PM MDT Sun May 29 2016 Thunderstorm activity Monday evening, some severe, will slowly wind down Monday night as the longwave of low pressure pulls slightly eastward overnight. The theta-e boundary that provided a focus for thunderstorm development on Monday afternoon/evening will move off to the east as we head into Tuesday. Another round of thunderstorm activity will be possible on Tuesday along and ahead of a cold front. At this time, strong thunderstorms are possible but severe thunderstorm development will be limited. PoPs remain in the forecast through Wednesday morning as this front will likely slow down during the overnight hours and perhaps stall out just to the east of the CWA. This system will move to the east late Wednesday and into Thursday with high pressure building in to the west of the CWA. A dry and warm pattern will persist from late Wednesday into the weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 501 PM MDT Sun May 29 2016 VFR conditions expected for the TAFs. Not very confident storms currently east of KGLD will make it to the site or even be around by 0z as better environment is east of the site over KCBK. Will amend TAF before 0z if storms do hang on more than anticipated. If that does occur, should not be for more than an hour. Am expecting storms to continue for KMCK for the first hour or so of the TAF. By 3z or so current storm activity should shift away from the sites/diminish. However another round of storms is expected to move in from the west. These storms will remain well west of KMCK, but may impact KGLD toward 6z. Am expecting most of the activity to remain north of KGLD. Storm activity will end for KGLD during the overnight hours. Another round of storms is expected during the afternoon Monday, with activity increasing during the late afternoon. && .GLD Watches/Warnings/Advisories... KS...NONE. CO...NONE.
