Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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.

BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
755 PM EDT Tue Jul 16 2019

The National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Wayne County in southeastern Michigan...
  Washtenaw County in southeastern Michigan...

* Until 1045 PM EDT.

* At 747 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing 
  heavy rain training eastward across the warned area. Up to two to 
  two and one half inches of rain have already fallen in some areas. 
  Flash flooding is expected to begin shortly. The most torrential 
  rainfall continues to extend from just west of Ypsilanti eastward 
  along and just north of Michigan Avenue. 

* Some locations that will experience flooding include...
  Warren, Ann Arbor, Livonia, Taylor, Romulus, Ypsilanti, Saline,
  Grosse Pointe, Manchester, Downtown Detroit, Canton, Detroit,
  Dearborn, Wyandotte, Trenton, Belleville, Dixboro, Greenfield
  Village, Belle Isle and Willis.

Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are possible in the 
warned area. If this occurs over areas that have already received a 
few inches of rain, significant and dangerous flashing flooding will 
be quite possible.

This includes the following highways...
 I-75 between mile markers 34 and 58.
 I-275 between mile markers 12 and 29.
 I-96 between mile markers 172 and 192.
 M-10 between mile markers 1 and 11.
 M-14 between mile markers 1 and 14.
 M-39 between mile markers 6 and 10.
 US-23 between mile markers 28 and 45.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Excessive runoff from torrential rainfall is causing flooding of 
small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and 
underpasses as well as other drainage areas and low lying spots. 
This flooding may very well worsen as the torrential rainfall 
persists over parts of the area over the next hour or two.

...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR WAYNE AND WASHTENAW COUNTIES IS
CANCELLED...

Now that the imminent threat of flash flooding has passed, this 
warning will be replaced by an areal flood warning which will be in 
effect into the overnight as the event transitions into a slow drain 
off of areas flooded during the course of the evening.

This will be complicated during the rest of the evening as pockets 
of very heavy rain fall in some locations before ending overnight. 
This may bring isolated amounts in excess of an additional one inch 
of rainfall. Once this last round of scattered showers and storms 
wanes overnight, runoff will take several more hours to bring flood 
waters down in impacted areas.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 16, 7:39 PM EDT, 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 16, 7:39 PM EDT, 16 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
739 PM EDT Tue Jul 16 2019

.AVIATION...

Showers and thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall will continue
along/just north of the I-94 corridor early in the forecast with a
gradually lessening of coverage/intensity after 02z or so. Another
period of scattered convection will be possible late tonight into
Wednesday morning as the remnant circulation of TS Barry shifts
across the Ohio Valley and a mid level disturbance advances ESE
through SE Lower Michigan. MVFR to lower VFR cigs should be the rule
until Wednesday afternoon in the wake of upper wave as weak frontal
boundary settles south through the region and bring northerly flow.

For DTW...Best potential for thunder continues through 02z or so.
Brief IFR conditions (lower in terms of VSBYS) will be likely should
thunderstorms occur over airport given efficient, high rainfall
rates in increasingly tropical environment. More prevalent MVFR
restrictions then become probable tonight. Early indications are
that NE flow towards end of the period may stay low enough to
prevent NE runway operations.

.DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...

* Moderate in ceilings below 5000 ft this evening. High tonight into
  early Wednesday morning.

* Medium to high in thunderstorm occurrence through 02z or so.

* Low to medium in visibility 1/2 SM and/or ceiling 200 ft in any
  thunderstorm this evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
Issued at 333 PM EDT Tue Jul 16 2019

DISCUSSION...

The forecast for this afternoon and evening remains mostly on track
from the morning update which can be reference for additional
details. The notable exception is the activation of the H7 front
in response to energy shearing off the primary low and propagating
into southwest Lower Michigan. While the heavy rain threat remains
in place for the Detroit area and points south, it is apparent that
the greatest potential for convection to organize and train now
exists between the Saginaw Valley area and the I-69 corridor. The
afternoon package will include increased pops, QPF, and and
expansion of the highlight for heavy rain into this area. Convection
will wane in intensity and coverage by 01-02z, but may well persist
in a diminished fashion through much of the night.

As the aforementioned mid-level front gradually approaches the
northern reaches of the Detroit Metro by early Wednesday morning,
mid-level forcing associated with a secondary moisture surge into
the southern CWA will coincide with the passage of the trough axis
roughly 07-13z. This will provide a focus for renewed development of
a heavy rain threat mainly near and south of M59 for the first half
of the day Wednesday with ongoing activity likely receiving a boost
from diurnal heating before the moisture axis exits to the east
during midday. Dry advection within developing northerly flow will
allow dewpoints to gradually fall into the 60s during the remainder
of the day, taking the edge of off high temperatures in the 80s.

The northern periphery of broad, flat subtropical ridging will
become established over the central and northern Great Lakes
beginning Thursday. Deep layer westerly flow will advect an
increasingly stout EML across the area beginning late in the day and
thus marking the area's entry into a much hotter airmass. Ongoing
convection or remnants thereof will presumably be coupled to the
lead edge of said EML, precluding consideration of an excessive heat
headline which would begin Thursday. NWP indicate sufficiently late
timing that any MCS/remnants may have sufficient time to recover
from the nocturnal minimum, though confidence in timing will remain
low for the next couple of forecast cycles. 12z EC does indicate
1500 to 2000 j/kg MLCAPE persisting well into the evening with CAPE
density increasing in a hurry as the EML spreads across the area.
Veered wind profile supportive of 0-3km and 0-6km bulk shear values
of 35 kts is very solid by mid-July standards and will easily be
supportive of organized severe convection, the potential for which
will be entirely dependent on the nature & timing of convection
emerging from the MS Valley by Thursday morning.

Attention in the extended forecast period remains turned to very hot
conditions that will likely expand into SE Michigan for the late
week and early weekend. A broad upper ridge will develop over the
south central CONUS during the late week and expand to cover the
southeast CONUS as well. The westerly flow on the northern periphery
of this ridge will direct a very warm (850 mb temps around 23C) air
mass from the central Plains into the Great Lakes. This will result
in high temperatures solidly in the 90s on Friday and Saturday with
Metro Detroit making a push at the upper 90s. The high moisture
content of this air mass with dew points in the 70s will lead to
afternoon heat indices over 100 degrees and little relief during the
overnight hours. Heat headlines will likely be needed during this
period with the main failure point in this forecast being several
possible rounds of convection that may dampen the heat a bit.
Confidence remains low on the timing or placement of any convective
activity.

The worst of the heat looks to break by Sunday as a cold front sinks
south of the region. A second and stronger cold front will push
through Sunday evening and usher in a more seasonable and
comfortable air mass for early next week.

MARINE...

A midlevel frontal boundary will remain draped across the region
heading into tonight, as the remnants of Barry lift northeastward
and result in an increasing coverage of showers and embedded
thunderstorms. A lingering pressure gradient across the region will
allow southwest winds to continue gusting around 20 knots the
remainder of the afternoon across Saginaw Bay and into the central
Lake Huron basin, along with choppy 2-3 foot waves. As the remnants
of Barry move towards the western Lake Erie basin tonight, winds and
waves will temporarily weaken before becoming fresh northeasterly
Wednesday with gusts 15-20 knots across much of the Lake Huron basin
as the pressure gradient again tightens between high pressure
drifting east south of James Bay and the remnant low moving into the
Mid-Atlantic. The flow will then become more southwesterly in
direction heading into Thursday, with frequent gusts around 20 knots
possible across much of the local waters.

HYDROLOGY...

Showers and embedded thunderstorms will continue to increase in
coverage as an increasingly tropical airmass overspreads the region
from the south ahead of the remnants of Barry. The activity will
continue to linger into tonight, with the heaviest activity expected
to be south of the M-59 corridor late this afternoon and through
this evening. A secondary band of heavier rain will also be possible
across the Saginaw Valley tied to a lingering midlevel frontal
boundary. Any shower, and especially thunderstorm, that develops
will be capable of producing very efficient rainfall rates, with
localized areas potentially seeing well in excess of 1 inch in a
short period of time. Where the heaviest thunderstorms occur,
localized areas may see 1-3 inches of rain. These rain amounts will
lead to the potential of flooding in low lying and poor drainage
areas as well as in the more heavily urbanized areas of metro
Detroit.
