The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 5.7 hours before the alert went out and 60 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.

THE WEST EARLY...THEN EAST LATE THIS AFTN. STRONG LOW LVL SHEAR
WILL BE THE MAIN FACTOR FOR SVR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AS MID

ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE IN THE 100-150 RANGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO
ISOLATED TORNADOES AND WIND DAMAGE MAINLY EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

RADAR WAS STILL SHOWING CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER
THE FORECAST AREA. WILL STAY WITH SCATTERED TO LIKELY PROBABILITY
OF RAIN TODAY. SHORT WAVE HAS CROSSED THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA SO
