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
Jacksonville, FL (KJAX), launched 12:00Z, 5.8 hours before the alert went out and 105 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.

NELSONWhat 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 Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 5, 10:33 AM EDT, 3 hours 14 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 10:33 AM EDT, 3 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 1033 AM EDT SUN JUN 5 2016 .UPDATE...No significant changes to ongoing forecast with numerous showers and tstorms expected to blossom across the area under stronger SW steering flow of 10-15 kts over NE Fl and 15-20 kts over SE Ga. High moisture content and instability will favor a few strong storms over NE Florida...with a higher potential for strong to severe storms expected over SE Ga this afternoon and evening due to stronger dynamical forcing. Main convective concerns will be strong wet downbursts due to precip loading and locally heavy rainfall. High temps will near 90 deg across out western counties were convective cloud cover will first impact...to the lower 90s toward the east coast...with upper 80s along the immediate coast toward I-95 corridor. && .AVIATION...Prevailing VFR conditions this morning. Ceiling and visibility restrictions likely this afternoon as numerous showers and storms develop along the sea breezes. Storms will move offshore of the Atlantic coast this evening as activity gradually dissipates...but a low chance of isolated shower/tstorm overnight cannot be ruled out. && .MARINE...S winds 10 kts this morning will becoming SE and increase to near 15 kts this afternoon along the coast with the sea breeze. Combined seas 2-4 ft. Southerly winds increase to exercise caution tonight and Monday over the offshore waters with advisory conditions Monday night and Tuesday due to passing tropical system over the waters. Gusts to gale force likely at times in waves of convection Monday night and early Tuesday. Rip Currents: Low risk today.
