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.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 20, 6:42 PM CDT, 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 20, 6:42 PM CDT, 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS 642 PM CDT MON JUL 20 2009 .AVIATION...00Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT MUCH OF THE AREA THIS EVENING...AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST INTERACTS WITH A FEW FRONTAL BOUNDARIES ACROSS THE AREA. STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. LATER THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT...STORMS OVER NORTHWEST KS AND/OR NE MAY CONSOLIDATE INTO A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX OR TWO AND SURGE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA...INCREASING THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR TRENDS AND ADD TEMPO GROUPS FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS NEEDED. STOUT NORTHERLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL LATE TONIGHT-TOMORROW...ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MVFR CIGS SPREADING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. KLEINSASSER && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 252 PM CDT MON JUL 20 2009/ DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES WILL FOCUS ON AN ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME AND TIMING OF PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS THROUGH THE WORK WEEK. TONIGHT CURRENT SATELLITE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A COUPLE SHORT WAVES MOVING SOUTHEAST VIA UPPER NORTHWEST FLOW WITH ONE WAVE NOW OVER NEBRASKA...AND A SECOND MORE ROBUST WAVE APPROACHING THE WESTERN DAKOTAS. THE FIRST WAVE WAS SPARKING OFF SOME ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON OVER EASTERN SECTIONS OF KANSAS/NEBRASKA...AND COULD HELP INITIATE MORE STORMS THIS EVENING FURTHER TO THE WEST. MEANWHILE...THE SECOND MORE ROBUST WAVE WILL CONTINUE TO RACE SOUTHEAST AND SHOULD GENERATE MORE ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH WHICH WILL THEN SPREAD SOUTHWARD INTO KANSAS TONIGHT. THE STRENGTH OF THE MID-UPPER LEVEL WINDS IN COMBINATION WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL STORM RELATIVE INFLOW WINDS COULD RESULT IN A SEVERE FORWARD PROPAGATING MCS LATE TONIGHT...WITH THE EASTERN HALF OF KANSAS GREATEST AT RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS. SOME AREAS COULD ALSO SEE SOME HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT BUT DUE TO EXPECTED FORWARD SPEED OF THE MCS THIS WOULD MAKE HEAVY RAINFALL MORE ISOLATED. TUE-THUR PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST AND SOUTH OF AREA TUESDAY MORNING WITH A COOLER SUMMER DAY IN STORE FOR KANSAS. WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO START OFF WITH PLEASANT WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS BEFORE THE NEXT WEATHER IMPULSE TRACKS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS WAVE COULD GENERATE ANOTHER ROUND OF NORTHWEST FLOW PRECIPITATION FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING...AS MODELS SHOW ISENTROPIC LIFT INCREASING WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE 310-315K LAYER. THE ACTIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AS YET ANOTHER WAVE PROGGED BY THE MODELS TRACKS SOUTHEAST VIA NORTHWEST FLOW. EXTEND: FRI-MON LATEST MODEL TRENDS IN GFS ENSEMBLES/ECMWF MODEL SHOW PRONOUNCED UPPER TROUGH AXIS REMAINING ANCHORED OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION...THUS KEEPING THE CENTRAL PLAINS IN A NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME ALOFT WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE OF TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL JULY VALUES. A COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES TO FOLLOW FOR THE WEEKEND. BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE ON FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. PRECIPITATION CHANCES LOOK LESS FAVORABLE FOR THE WEEKEND...BUT ANY WEAK IMPULSE DROPPING SOUTHEAST IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME(WHICH MODELS WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME PICKING UP THIS FAR OUT IN TIME) COULD BACK THE MID-LEVEL WINDS AND CREATE ENOUGH ISENTROPIC LIFT TO SPARK OFF SOME ACTIVITY. WE WILL HOLD ONTO SMALL PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR SATURDAY BUT KEEP THINGS DRY FOR SUNDAY-MONDAY. JAKUB AVIATION...18Z TAFS KRSL/KSLN/KHUT/KICT/KCNU CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ACROSS ERN KS CONTINUES TO WANE AT THIS TIME ..BUT CONVECTION NORTHWEST OF KCNU HAS INTENSIFIED SOME. SO WILL KEEP A TEMPO GROUP FOR TSRA IN THIS TAF FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS SOME MORE CONVECTION WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST. THE REST OF THE TAF SITES WILL SEE VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REST OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. AS SUNSET APPROACHES...FOCUS BEGINS TO SHIFT TO THE NORTH OR NW OF THE KRSL/KSLN TAF SITES. CONVECTION LOOKS TO REDEVELOP IN THIS AREA AND DIVE SOUTH TOWARDS CENTRAL KS AFTER 00Z/TUE. THIS CONVECTION LOOKS TO PROPAGATE SOUTH DURING THE 04-09Z/TUE TIME FRAME...BUT TIMING IS UNCERTAIN. WILL CERTAINLY GO WITH A TEMPO GROUP FOR TSRA IN KRSL/KSLN FOR NOW...BUT WILL GO WITH A VCTS IN KHUT/KICT FOR LATE THIS EVENING TO COVER THIS CHANCE...BUT NOT CERTAIN ENOUGH IN TIMING TO INCLUDE A TEMPO GROUP FOR KICT/KHUT JUST YET. WILL EVENTUALLY SEE CONVECTION DRIFT SOUTH AND EAST INTO THE KCNU TAF AFTER 06Z/TUE...SO WILL INCLUDE A VCTS IN THIS LOCATION LATE TONIGHT. MODEL SOUNDINGS HINT AT SOME MVFR CEILINGS POSSIBLY HANGING AROUND CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KS TAF SITES EARLY ON TUE AFTER CONVECTION MOVES OUT. NOT ALOT OF CONFIDENCE IN THIS DEVELOPING...BUT WILL AT LEAST INCLUDE A SCATTERED CLOUD MENTION AROUND 2500 FEET FOR NOW. KETCHAM && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
