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
Midland Regional, TX (KMAF), launched 12:00Z, 11.7 hours before the alert went out and 215 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.

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 Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 19, 6:15 PM CDT, 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 6:15 PM CDT, 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 615 PM CDT Mon Jun 19 2017 .DISCUSSION... See aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... TSRA are s and w of TAF sites and expected to remain so. As low level winds turn se overnight warm air advection is indicated to result in development of clouds around 6KFT AGL. Otherwise for now are we discounting the development of precip to the n and near MAF/HOB due to the lack of an indentifiable shrtwv trof, however there will be plenty of elevated instability. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 224 PM CDT Mon Jun 19 2017/ DISCUSSION... Current observations and satellite are showing the remnants of yesterday's cold front, now stationary from the southern Permian Basin into the Big Bend. Heating along and south of the front is causing convection to develop which will continue into this evening. A few storms could become severe with large hail and strong winds the primary threats though like yesterday, should a storm move along the frontal boundary we could see a brief, weak tornado form. Today has been a pleasant break from the heat, but upper level high pressure near the Four Corners Region will spread east into eastern New Mexico and West Texas causing highs to warm well above 100 degrees by the end of the week. Models are still showing a cold front arriving next weekend, but there is considerable disagreement in the timing with anywhere from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. The ECMWF has been performing well recently, and it is one of the later models so will hold off on bringing in the cooler weather until Sunday. There is some hope for an earlier arrival as models are showing more precip associated with this front than the one that arrived yesterday. Rain cooled air could give surface high pressure behind the front an added push so there may be a chance that Saturday could be significantly cooler as well.
