Weather; Human Factors; Procedure
I was working combined sectors with numerous aircraft and severe impact of weather and airspace constrictions. The Warning Area was active and 'not' accepting point outs. I had aircraft that needed to go around weather so I had to have these aircraft squawk 7700 in order to fly through the Warning Area. During all of this; I accepted a point out on Air Carrier Y climbing to FL360. Literally moments later; I took a hand off on Air Carrier X who was on a large deviation around weather at FL340 and headed towards the Warning Area. I was working other aircraft that were already on 7700 Codes and was in the process of having Air Carrier X do so as well when both the adjacent sector CPC and I noticed the confliction. The adjacent sector CPC could not enter the Warning Area airspace with their Air Carrier Y and my Air Carrier X would not turn so the adjacent sector tried to get a report from their aircraft that they were out of FL350. I thought that they had received that report and that they didn't know how to report it in the data tag so I /ok'd the function from my position. I reported the aircraft at FL350 only to have the Data tag reset to FL347. Sometime later; the supervisor came over to ask what happened between our aircraft. I thought that we had both vertical and horizontal but the supervisor said that we did not. Have my aircraft squawk 7700 sooner when ever they are near military airspace and/or other aircraft because of weather.
