Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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, Jun 19, 3:31 PM CDT, 8 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
331 PM CDT THU JUN 19 2008

.DISCUSSION...

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CWA
THIS AFTERNOON...ALONG A BOUNDARY ROUGHLY LOCATED ALONG THE
HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS HAVE DEVELOP AS ML
CAPE OF 1200 TO 2000 J/KG AND 0-6KM BULK SHEAR AROUND 30KT IS
LOCATED ACROSS THE AREA. WITH THE INSTABILITY...SHEAR AND STEEP
LAPSE RATES LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS. THE
TORNADO THREAT LOOKS TO BE LIMITED DUE TO THE LACK OF LOW LEVEL
SHEAR...HOWEVER WITH THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR SUPERCELLS ARE POSSIBLE...SO
CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO.

IN ADDITION TO THIS ACTIVITY...AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS MOVE
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS SHORTWAVE IS THE FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FROM NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO IOWA.
THIS SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH TOWARDS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AS A RESULT THE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
KANSAS AND NEBRASKA WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING. WIND
SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. THE MAIN HAZARDS WITH THESE
STORM WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. ALSO...THESE STORMS
WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED
FLASH FLOODING. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL LINGER ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE STORM SYSTEM SLOWLY PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA.

SATURDAY THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO PUSH EAST INTO THE
AREA...BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES AND DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE
WEEKEND INTO THE START OF THE WORK WEEK. TUESDAY AN UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO FLATTEN THE RIDGE AND PRODUCE RAIN ACROSS
THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

WISE

&&

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAF PACKAGE...THE AREA HAS DESTABILIZED EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON WITH LITTLE OR NO CAP IN PLACE. THIS HAS CAUSED ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP INVOF SGF...AND A FEW ARE BEGINNING TO
DEVELOP IN THE JLN AREA AS WELL. THIS WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE EVENTUALLY DYING
OFF. A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL LIKELY INITIATE OVER NEBRASKA AND
KANSAS...AND MOVE SOUTH SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL LIKELY
IMPACT BOTH SGF AND JLN WITH THUNDERSTORMS...AS WELL AS LOWERED
CEILINGS WITH THE STORMS...AND POTENTIALLY IN THE WAKE OF THE
ACTIVITY AS WELL. AT THIS TIME...IT LOOKS TO CLEAR OUT BY AT
LEAST 15Z.
