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, 4.5 hours before the alert went out and 127 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
134 AM MDT THU MAY 31 2007
.DISCUSSION...
LARGE VERTICALLY STACKED CYCLONE REMAINS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS
THIS MORNING AND IS PROGGED TO MOVE VERY LITTLE OVER THE NEXT 24-36
HOURS BEFORE TRANSLATING EASTWARD OVER THE GREAT LAKES AREA LATE
THIS WEEKEND.
EVENING SFC ANALYSIS SUGGESTS THE COLD FRONT THAT SWEPT OVER THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS HAS BECOME VERY DIFFUSE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
WITH THE DEEPER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONFINED NEAR THE RED RIVER
ACROSS SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA. LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL
INCREASE ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS LATE IN THE PERIOD AS THE
ENTRANCE REGION TO 90KT H3 JET ARRIVES. SFC PRESSURE FALLS OVER
SOUTHEAST COLORADO WILL ALLOW GULF MOISTURE TO SURGE NORTH LATE IN
THE PERIOD. AS SFC WINDS BEGIN TO BACK DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
TROUGH AXIS SPREADING EAST/SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. THE
AIRMASS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST ZONES WITH ML CAPES EXCEEDING 1500
J/KG. STRONG MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE NOSE OF H85 LLJ SHOULD
ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT ACROSS THE
FAR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES WHICH WAS HANDLED WELL IN THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST. 50-60KT WESTERLY FLOW ATOP LOW LEVEL EAST/SOUTHEAST FLOW
WILL PROVIDE FAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES/CYCLONICALLY CURVED HODOGRAPHS
FAVORING ROTATING UPDRAFTS/SEVERE WEATHER WELL INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. WITH THE FRENCHMAN CREEK STILL IN FLOOD ACROSS HITCHCOCK
COUNTY NEBRASKA...AND WET SOILS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA TONIGHT.
POST-FRONTAL NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS ON FRI SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY WITH STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES/UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILE. DIFFICULT TO RULE OUT SHALLOW
CONVECTION DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS AS H5 COLD
POOL ROTATES OVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS. A WIND THREAT
WOULD EXIST WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOPS GIVEN TYPICAL HIGH
PLAINS INVERTED-V PROFILE.
DAYS 3 AND 4 (SATURDAY AND SUNDAY)...GFS AND NAM SHOW THE CENTER OF
THE 500 MB LOW DIGGING FURTHER SOUTH SATURDAY BEFORE LIFTING TO THE
NORTHEAST SATURDAY. AT THE SURFACE...THE LOW SHOULD BE OCCLUDED BY
SATURDAY. SOME WRAP AROUND PRECIP IS POSSIBLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN
SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA...THOUGH CURRENTLY THE GFS HAS THE LOW TOO FAR
NORTH FOR GLD CWA. OTHERWISE PERIODS ARE DRY AS THE OCCLUDED FRONT
SHOULD BE WELL TO THE EAST BY SATURDAY. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES...THE
GFS CONTINUES TO DELAY THE WARM UP PREVIOUSLY SHOWN TO BEGIN ON
FRIDAY. CONSIDERING THE GFS IS ONE OF THE SLOWER MODELS IN LIFTING
THE LOW OUT...THE FORECAST INCLUDES A MODEST WARMING TREND SATURDAY.
&&
.AVIATION...WDLY SCT -SHRA/-TSRA CONTINUE TO DRIFT ESE ACROSS THE
WESTERN ZONES ALONG/WEST OF KGLD. ACTIVITY SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH
WITH VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING THROUGH THE NIGHT AS CIGS REMAIN AOA
060. SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER 20Z ON THU.
