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, 9.3 hours before the alert went out and 21 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, Apr 2, 1:50 PM CDT, 2 hours 28 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 150 PM CDT SUN APR 2 2006 .DISCUSSION... MAIN QUESTION FOR THIS FORECAST IS CONVECTION THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. MOS GUIDANCE POPS SEEM ABNORMALLY LOW (20-30%) GIVEN THE APPROACH OF A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE TROUGH LATE TONIGHT. MESOETA FORECAST SOUNDINGS SEEM TO ARGUE BOTH FOR AND AGAINST. A LARGE PORTION OF THE COLUMN ABOVE 750MB DRIES OUT SIGNIFICANTLY WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER DROPPING FROM 1.28 INCHES TO 0.94 INCHES IN 6 HOURS. IF THIS HAPPENS...IT WOULD LIKELY SIGNIFICANTLY LIMIT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. ON THE OTHER HAND...THE DRIER AIR ALOFT WOULD BE MORE CONDUCIVE TO TSTM DOWNBURST WINDS FOR THE TSTMS THAT DO MANAGE TO FORM. ALSO...THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS KEEP LIFTED INDICES AT -4 OR LESS ALL NIGHT WITH TOTAL TOTALS NEAR OR ABOVE 50. I GUESS THE UPSHOT OF THIS DATA IS THAT I WILL TAKE THE PATH OF LEAST REGRET AND GO SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE POPS AND WILL ALSO MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF SVR STORMS FOR THE EVENING HOURS...GIVEN THAT SELS HAS ALL OF THE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE TSTMS. WILL HANG ON TO A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN FOR TOMORROW MORNING UNTIL THE SFC RIDGE BEGINS TO MOVE IN AND SHUT OFF ANY CHANCE OF RAIN. THE 1000-850 LAYER TEMPS INDICATE THAT THE COLD FRONT WONT GET INTO NW MIDDLE TENNESSEE UNTIL 7 AM TOMORROW MORNING AND PROGRESS RAPIDLY EWD ACROSS THE STATE DURING THE MORNING. SFC RIDGE AFFECTS THE AREA FROM MON NGT THROUGH TUE NGT AS THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PUSHES INTO THE PLAINS ON WED AND GENERATES A CHANCE OF RAIN FOR LATE WED NGT AND ON THU AS THE ASSOCD WRM FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA. CHANCE OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE AS THE LOW PUSHES EWD ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE STATE SAT AM. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
