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 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.
The nearest sounding before it
Topeka, KS (KTOP), launched 00:00Z, 3.2 hours before the alert went out and 112 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.

POTENT UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM EMERGING INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL COMBINE WITH AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION...RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TONIGHT.

LOW 70 DEW POINTS HAVE ADVECTED NORTH ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...WHICH WILL RESULT IN LOW LCL HEIGHTS...HOWEVER LIMITED LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL MITIGATE TORNADO THREAT SOMEWHAT.
