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
Bismarck Municip, ND (KBIS), launched 12:00Z, 3.6 hours before the alert went out and 65 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, Mar 22, 4:20 AM CDT, 6 hours 13 minutes before
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
