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
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 11.2 hours before the alert went out and 8 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.

AS UPPER FLOW TURNS FROM NW TO W/SW A WEAK H5 SHORTWAVE MOVES OUT OF THE ROCKIES INTO THE MIDSTATE BY WED.

AS THE ASSOCIATED FRONT DRAWS CLOSER TO THE MIDSTATE...PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE ACCORDINGLY. THE FRONT SHOULD PASS THE AREA WED NGT WITH PRECIP CHANCES TAPERING OFF THU NGT. UPPER FLOW TURNS TEMPORARILY TO THE NW AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE MOVES INTO THE AREA. LITTLE CHANCE OF PRECIP EXPECTED FOR FRI AND SAT AS A WEAK SFC RIDGE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.
