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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 2:15 PM CDT, 3 hours 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS 215 PM CDT TUE JUN 28 2005 .DISCUSSION... DAYS 1-2... A LEAD SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE DESERT SW WILL BE EJECTED NE ACROSS THE PLAINS TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. MEANWHILE, A STRONGER TROUGH WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL MAINLY BE NORTH OF OUR FCST AREA ALONG THE WARM FRONT TONIGHT. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS KANSAS WEDNESDAY. A FEW VERY HIGH BASED STORMS ARE POSSIBLE BY EVENING ALONG THIS FRONT. THE HOTTEST AIR WILL BE IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE FRONT ON WED FROM DDC SOUTH, WITH MAXES POSSIBLY AS HIGH AS 105F. THE FRONT SHOULD BE IN FAR SOUTHERN KS OR OKLAHOMA BY THURSDAY AS MAXES COOL INTO THE UPPER 80S. ANY STORMS WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT. DAYS 3-7... MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN ACROSS THE COUNTRY BY LATE THIS WEEK. ECMWF IS A BIT OF AN OUTLIER...ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE PERIOD WITH A RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. COMPARED TO THE GFS AND CANADIAN ALONG WITH MOST OF THEIR ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SHOWING A WEAK TROUGH IN THIS AREA. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE THIS MAKES OVER OUR AREA IS MORE OF A W-SW FLOW ACROSS KS BRINGING IN HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS. HAVE GONE WITH THE CANADIAN/GFS SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT FROM RUN TO RUN AND ENSEMBLE MEMBERS IN LINE WITH THEM AS WELL. BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP WOULD BE ON THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY...MAINLY ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES AS A DISTURBANCE MOVES AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE IN NORTHERN OK TO START THE PERIOD. AFTER THAT MOVES THROUGH...AS STATED EARLIER DRY AIR WILL BE ADVECTING UP THIS WAY FROM THE SOUTHWEST ALONG WITH MORE TEMPERATURES NEARING 100 BY SUN/MON. COULD POSSIBLY SEE AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO DEVELOP ALONG LEE TROUGH NEAR CO/KS BORDER BUT WITH AS DRY AS IT WILL BE WOULD NOT EXPECT MUCH RAIN FROM THEM AND THEREFORE NOT EVEN WORTH A 20 POP AT THIS TIME. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
