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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION..UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
830 AM EST SAT JAN 29 2005
UPDATED TO INCLUDE WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA.
.CURRENTLY...PATCHES OF LIGHT RAIN ARE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA WITH
TEMPS RANGING FROM THE MID 40S ALONG THE COAST TO FREEZING IN
NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE CWA. WIDESPREAD FREEZING RAIN HAS BEEN
REPORTED BY BEN HILL...TURNER...IRWIN AND LEE COUNTIES.
ACCUMULATIONS ON POWERLINES...TREES AND ROADS HAVE BEEN
OBSERVED...INCLUDING ONE QUARTER INCH OF FROZEN RAIN ON ROADWAYS AT
MYSTIC IN IRWIN COUNTY. SOME ADDITIONAL FREEZING RAIN IS POSSIBLE.
TEMPS SHOULD WARM THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND FROZEN PRECIP SHOULD MELT
ALSO. A WINTER WEATHER WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA UNTIL 2 PM.

PREV DISCUSSION: 204 AM EST SAT JAN 29 2005
.SHORT TERM...AS THE FIRST WEAK S/W EXITS TO THE NE...WE SHOULD SEE
JUST LIGHT RA THROUGHOUT THE AREA EARLY THIS AM. ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE
MID-LVL ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW CURRENTLY IN OK/KS WILL MOVE
WELL TO OUR N...THE SFC LOW CURRENTLY IN LA WILL SLOWLY DRIFT
NE AND THE BOUNDARY CURRENTLY TO OUR SOUTH WILL SHIFT TO OVER THE
PANHANDLE BY MIDDAY TODAY AS A WARM FRONT. AN ANALYSIS OF THE 295K
SFC SHOWS THAT GOOD ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE IN PLACE BY AROUND
DAYBREAK THROUGH EARLY AFTN. THIS...COMBINED WITH LOTS OF MOISTURE
NEAR THE SFC MEANS WE WILL SEE HIGH POPS FOR ALL AREAS MOST OF THE
DAY. THE LIFT LOOKS TO BE THE GREATEST IN OUR NE ZONES AND HAVE KEPT
HIGHEST POPS THERE...DECREASING TO THE SW. POPS WILL TAPER OFF
TONIGHT AS THE TROUGH PICKS THE SFC LOW UP AND QUICKLY MVS IT TOWARD
THE E COAST BY SUN AM. ALTHOUGH IT WILL MOST LIKELY STILL BE CLOUDY
SUN AM...BY AFTN IT SHOULD CLEAR AND MAKE FOR A NICE END TO THE
WEEKEND.
&&
.LONG TERM...AN UPR LVL SYSTEM MVG THROUGH THE ROCKIES ON SUNDAY
WILL LIFT NORTHWARD BY MONDAY...AND WE WILL HAVE CONTINUED NICE
WEATHER TO START THE WEEK. THE GFS EXTENDED GUIDANCE HAS COMPLETELY
CHANGED ITS TUNE FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK HOWEVER. INSTEAD OF
LIKELY POPS BY MID-WEEK...IT IS GOING FOR JUST SLIGHT CHANCE....
KEEPING MOST SYSTEMS WELL TO THE NORTH THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
WILL LEAVE IT TO THE DAY SHIFT TO DECIDE HOW FAR DOWN TO BRING POPS
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK...ALTHOUGH 20 TO 30 PERCENT LOOKS LIKE A SAFE BET
RIGHT NOW.
&&
.MARINE...WINDS ARE STILL RATHER STRONG...FROM THE EAST AROUND 20-
25KTS AND JUST TO OUR WEST THEY ARE SEEING GUSTS UP INTO THE MID
30KT-RANGE. THIS IS DUE TO THE TIGHT GRADIENT THAT IS SITTING OVER
THE AREA RIGHT NOW. AS THE BOUNDARY THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE CNTRL
GOMEX MVS NWARD...WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND
SHIFT TO THE SOUTH BY THIS EVNG. AS THE FRONT TO THE WEST
APPROACHES...WE WILL SEE WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTH BY SUN AM...BUT
REMAIN IN THE 10-15KT RANGE THROUGH MID-WEEK.

.FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS IN THE SHORT TERM AS RH VALUES WILL
REMAIN HIGH FOR THE NEXT FEW PERIODS.
