Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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.

Area forecast discussion, May 25, 5:40 PM CDT, 1 hour 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 540 PM CDT FRI MAY 25 2007 DISCUSSION... A MOIST AIRMASS COMBINED WITH A ZONE OF BAROCLINICITY LAID OUT ACROSS THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR TRIGGERED STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE CONVECTION ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON. THIS SITUATION MAY BECOME SOMEWHAT TYPICAL OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS THE MOIST AIRMASS STICKS AROUND THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. THE BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL TEND TO LIFT NORTH...AND BECOME FRONTALYTICAL WITH TIME. MAINLY AFTERNOON HEAT AND MOISTURE WILL BE THE PREDOMINATE CAUSE OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MORE NUMEROUS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND OUTDOORSMEN CAN EXPECT NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE TIME OF YEAR...WITH AFTERNOON READINGS WARMING INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS...WITH CLOUD COVER INCREASING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON PERIODS...EVENTUALLY LEADING TO THE PREDICTED SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ORGANIZED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED DUE TO THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF SHEAR EXPECTED. THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE IS QUITE SIMILAR TO LATE JUNE...WITH THE MAIN BELT OF WESTERLIES POSITIONED WELL NORTH OF THE OZARKS. ISOLATED DOWNBURSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH A FEW OF THE STRONGER STORMS...BUT ULTIMATELY...WEEKEND BOATERS AND OUTDOORSMEN SHOULD BE MORE AWARE OF CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES WERE NOTED WITHIN MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK. THE GFS SUGGESTS THAT A MID LATITUDE CYCLONE WILL DEEPEN INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS...POTENTIALLY BRINGING A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES INTO THE REGION. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY IN NEXT WEEKENDS PRECIPITATION FORECAST...NWS AREA OFFICES ALL AGREED TO KEEP SLIGHT TO LOW END CHANCES GOING IN EVERY PERIOD FROM TUESDAY - THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERNED...MODELS SUGGEST THAT TEMPERATURES WILL NOT VARY A WHOLE LOT. LOWER 80S ON AN AFTERNOON BASIS WHILE OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 60S IS A GOOD BET FOR NEXT WEEK. CRAMER && .AVIATION... FOR THE 00Z TAFS...CONVECTION CONTINUES AROUND THE JLN/SGF FORECAST POINTS AS OF 2230Z WITH REDEVELOPMENT OCCURRING SOUTHWEST OF THE SITES. COULD SEE SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION AFFECT BOTH LOCATIONS THROUGH 02Z AND WILL INCLUDE IN THE 00Z TAFS. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIMINISH IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE AFTER SUNSET WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING/DIMINISHING INSTABILITY SO HAVE ENDED THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BY 03Z.
