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
N. Platte/Lee Bi, NE (KLBF), launched 12:00Z, 3.7 hours before the alert went out and 156 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.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Goodland, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 24, 4:25 AM CDT, 6 hours 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 4:25 AM CDT, 6 hours 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 325 AM MDT TUE APR 24 2007 .DISCUSSION...MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING AND SNOW MIXED WITH RAIN EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO STALLS OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO AS IT DEEPENS IN RESPONSE TO THE DEEPENING UPPER LOW CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE 4-CORNERS REGION AND INTO SOUTHEAST COLORADO AND SOUTHWEST KANSAS THIS EVENING. WITH THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF THE LOW CURRENTLY ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH A WARM FRONT AT THE SURFACE THROUGH THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA AND A COLD FRONT ENHANCED BY THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA...EXPECT PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO CONTINUE TO ADVECT INTO MAINLY THE EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH PLENTY OF SHEAR AND MESOSCALE LIFT IN THE VICINITIES OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARIES AND SYNOPTIC LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW LIFTING ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS. THIS WILL ALL LEAD TO ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM PRODUCTION LATER TODAY AND THIS EVENING ACROSS THE TRI-STATE REGION WITH SOME STORMS EXPECTED TO BECOME SEVERE. WITH STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND THE EXITING SURFACE LOW AND TEMPERATURES DIPPING INTO THE MID 30S ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO SEE SOME SNOW MIXING IN WITH THE RAIN SHOWERS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE NEW TREND HAS BEEN TO COOL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL AND CLOUD COVER EXPECTED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION ALONG WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH EXPECTED LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THE GFS IS CURRENTLY MUCH STRONGER WITH THIS NEXT SHORT WAVE TROUGH THAN THE NAM. WILL NOT PUT ANY PRECIPITATION IN ON THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY GIVEN THE POOR AGREEMENT BETWEEN MODELS AND THE NEW MORE MOIST TREND LATE IN THE WEEK THAT DOES NOT AGREE WITH PRIOR TRENDS...BUT HAVE TRENDED SLIGHTLY THAT WAY. THE WEEKEND AND BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEKS ARE STILL LOOKING DRY AND WARMER AS AN UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFIES OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AND MOVES OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
