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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
605 PM CDT SAT JUL 12 2008
...UPDATE TO AVIATION...
.DISCUSSION...
COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM JUST NORTH OF ST. LOUIS TO OSAGE BEACH TO
FORT SCOTT. CLOUD COVER FROM CONVECTION FROM LAST NIGHT AND EARLY
THIS MORNING HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES AND INSTABILITY DOWN OVER
SOUTHEAST KS AND MUCH OF WESTERN MO. BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER
HAVE ALLOWED AREAS OVER THE EASTERN MO OZARKS TO DESTABILIZE WITH
NO CAP. RUC SHOWING MLCAPES AROUND 2000 J/KG OVER THE EASTERN
OZARKS...AND ANOTHER AREA OF INSTABILITY ALSO EXISTS ALONG THE
OK/AR STATE LINES WHERE TEMPERATURES HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE UPPER
80S/LOW 90S. LOW LEVEL SFC-850MB FLOW HAS BECOME QUITE VEERED
LIMITING CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SFC FRONT OVER THE MO OZARKS WHICH
ISNT HELPING IN TERMS OF FOCUSING CONVECTION. LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE IS ACTUALLY STRONGER AHEAD OF THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT
ACROSS SOUTHERN IL INTO SOUTHEAST MO WHERE SOME STRONGER TSTMS
UPDRAFTS HAVE GONE UP. ANOTHER AREA OF FOCUS MAY EVENTUALLY
DEVELOP OVER NORTHEAST OK INTO EXTREME SW MO WHERE CONVERGENCE IS
EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH INTO THAT AREA.
VERTICAL SHEAR A LITTLE STRONGER THAN ANTICIPATED BETWEEN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND SINKING BELT OF UPPER WESTERLIES ASSOCIATED
WITH TROUGHING OVER THE NORTHERN U.S.. ANYWHERE WERE INSTABILITY
AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE CAN EXIST TOGETHER...SOME SEVERE STORMS
WILL OCCUR. BEST BETS WILL BE THE EASTERN AND SOUTHERN CWFA.
PWATS FROM THE GFS AND NAM INCREASE TO OVER TWO INCHES OVER
SOUTHERN MO TONIGHT. WHERE 850MB CONVERGENCE EXISTS...EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE. USING THE SREF AND ECMWF AS GENERAL
GUIDES...BELIEVE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR ELEVATED HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING
CONVECTION THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT WILL BE ALONG THE AR/MO/OK
STATE LINES. FRANKLY...GIVEN MESOSCALE INFLUENCES...ITS TOUGH TO
TELL WHERE THE HEAVY RAIN BANDS WILL SET UP...SO IM JUST AIMING
FOR THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO.
DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT WITH SOME
REFRESHINGLY NICE TEMPERATURES/DEW POINTS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY BUILD BACK TO THE NORTH
DURING THE MID/LATE WEEK. DSA
&&
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 00Z TAFS...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
EAST/SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE JLN/SGF TERMINAL LOCATIONS FOR THE
ONSET OF THE 00Z TAFS. MVFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL BE PREDOMINANT
OVER THE FIRST SEVERAL HOURS OF THE TERMINAL FORECAST BUT COULD
DROP INTO IFR CONDITIONS WITHIN HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS. VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED LATER THIS EVENING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE FORECAST.
