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 NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 823 AM CDT WED JUN 8 2005 .DISCUSSION... QUICK ADJUSTMENT TO THE MORNING FORECAST FOR THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE POPPED UP. WITH THE MOISTURE AXIS IN PLACE ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND FAR WESTERN MISSOURI...AND THE OUT FLOW FROM THE OVERNIGHT MCS IN NEBRASKA/IOWA HAS...THE LOW LEVEL JET HAS POPPED OF A LINE OF STORMS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF MISSOURI. THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE MID MORNING HORUS ACROSS. EXPECTATIONS ARE THAT THE LOW LEVEL JET THAT HELPED START THESE STORMS SHOULD PUSH THEM OF THE MOISTURE AXIS LATTER THIS MORNING...LIMITING THEIR LIFE SPAN. ADJUSTED POPS ACCORDING TO CURRENT RADAR TRENDS...WHICH INCLUDED BRING CHANCE POPS AS FAR SOUTH AS KANSAS CITY. HOWEVER...WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE LOW LEVEL JET...CONVECTION AS FAR SOUTH AS I-70 SHOULD HAVE A HARD TIME SUSTAINING ITSELF. CUTTER && .PREV DISCUSSION... 335 AM WED... MAIN FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS UNSTABLE AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE AS FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY IN RESPONSE TO DEEPENING SHORT WAVE TROUGH IN THE WESTERN PART OF COUNTRY. WATCHING STORMS OVER NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS MORNING.

NAM 800 MB THETA E LINES UP PRETTY WELL WITH MOISTURE THAT IS APPARENT ON 11-3.9 IR SATELLITE IMAGE. SURFACE DEWPOINTS ALSO SHOWING BEST MOISTURE POOLED IN EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS AT THIS TIME. IF THIS COMPLEX DOES DIVE SOUTH THROUGH AREA TODAY...MAY SEE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY JUST TO OUR SOUTH THIS EVENING...PROVIDING FOCUS FOR CONVECTION. TRUE FRONT HOWEVER WILL STILL BE TO OUR NORTHWEST THIS EVENING...SO MAKES FOR A COMPLEX SITUATION AS TO WHERE HEAVIEST RAIN AND STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE OCCURRING TONIGHT. WITH SUCH QUESTION MARKS...WILL LEAVE POPS IN CHANCE CATEGORY FOR NOW. TRUE FRONT SHOULD STAY JUST TO OUR NORTHWEST ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...REMAINING ALIGNED WITH THE UPPER FLOW. CONVECTIVELY INDUCED VORTICITY MAXIMA WILL LIKELY BE FACTORS ON WHERE STRONGEST CONVECTION OCCURS THE NEXT FEW DAYS...BUT PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF THESE WAVES IS VERY UNCERTAIN...SO WILL KEEP WITH MIDDLE OF THE ROAD POPS FOR THE TIME BEING. BY SATURDAY MORNING...SOUTHWEST UPPER WAVE EXPECTED TO BE LIFTING NORTHEAST INTO CENTRAL PLAINS.
