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.
The nearest sounding before it
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 8.9 hours before the alert went out and 107 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 3:21 PM CDT, 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 321 PM CDT MON JUN 27 2005 .DISCUSSION... SFC RIDGE CONTINUES OFF THE EAST COAST WITH A FRONTAL SYSTEM OVER THE NRN AND CENTRAL PLAINS. LIGHT MOIST SOUTH/SELY FLOW CONTINUES OVER THE MIDSTATE. AT UPPER LEVELS AN H5 LOW LOCATED OVER EXTREME NW MIDDLE TENNESSEE CONTINUES TO PULL NWD AS THE LARGE H5 TROUGH OVER THE NRN/CENTRAL PLAINS MOVES NEWD. MODELS ADVERTISING A SIGNIFICANT H5 WAVE TO MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES ON THU AND FRI. THE WNW FLOW ALOFT TRIES TO PUSH A WEAK FRONT INTO THE AREA ON FRI AM. THE GFS MODEL TRIES TO GENERATE SEVERAL PRECIP BULLSEYES OVER ALABAMA AND ARKANSAS ON FRI NIGHT. THIS IS APPARENTLY IN RESPONSE TO THE RATHER CHAOTIC H5 VORT PATTERN THAT IT IS GENERATING DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. WHILE THERE MAY BE SOME SORT OF SHORT WAVELENGTH TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE ARK-LA-TEX INTO THE GULF COAST STATES...IT IS DIFFICULT TO LOCATE. SOUNDINGS IN THE AREA INDICATING TYPICAL SUMMERTIME INSTABILITY VALUES WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RANGING FROM 1.5 TO 1.8 INCHES. MOS TEMPS AND POPS LOOK REASONABLE. ETA MOS WAS THE WETTEST WITH POP VALUES RANGING FROM 49 TO 71 PCT OVER THE AREA. UNSURE WHY THE ETA POPS ARE MUCH HIGHER FOR THE TONIGHT PERIOD. INSPECTION OF TYPICAL MODEL CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS WAS UNREVEALING. WENT A BIT HIGHER FOR THE TONIGHT PERIOD BECAUSE OF THIS...BUT DID NOT BUY THE LIKELY ETA POPS FOR THE AREA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
