What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Apr 26, 6:40 PM CDT	HAIL 0.88	2 W Saffordville, KS

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 watch it was issued in

THU NIGHT-FRI NIGHT:
RAIN & EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS QUICKLY RETURN TO THE KS REGION THU
NIGHT FOR AS THE SFC LOW LIFTS SLOWLY NE ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE

NEGATIVELY-TILTED UPPER SHORTWAVE PUSHING ENE ACROSS THE TX/OK
