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 Goodland, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Oct 7, 6:10 PM CDT, 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 7, 6:10 PM CDT, 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS 510 PM MDT FRI OCT 7 2011 .DISCUSSION... 243 PM MDT FRI OCT 7 2011 MAIN FORECAST PROBLEMS WILL BE COVERAGE/AMOUNT OF UPCOMING PRECIPITATION EVENT...WHEN TO END THE PRECIPITATION...AND HOW MUCH TO COOL OF TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND. SATELLITE SHOWING A NEARLY ZONAL FLOW IN THE PACIFIC THAT TRANSITIONS INTO A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED/BLOCKY PATTERN FROM NORTH AMERICA INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. FIRST PART OF MAJOR UPPER TROUGH IS OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL PORTION OF THE COUNTRY AND MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH. THE SECOND...SOUTHERN PART OF THIS UPPER TROUGH IS DIGGING/DEEPENING/SLIGHTLY CUTTING OFF OVER THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN. FRONT THAT WAS A PART OF THUNDERSTORM EVENT FROM LAST NIGHT IS NEAR THE EASTERN END OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH A MOIST/UNSTABLE AIR MASS AHEAD OF IT. AT JET LEVEL...THE MODELS TENDED TO HAVE THE JET SEGMENT THAT IS CURRENTLY ROUNDING THE BOTTOM AND SOUTHEAST SIDE OF INCOMING TROUGH TOO FAR SOUTH AND EAST. THE UKMET/ECMWF WERE THE WORST WITH THE GFS DOING SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE NAM. AT MID LEVELS...MODELS HAVING A LITTLE DIFFICULTY WITH OUR COMPLEX UPPER TROUGH. IN GENERAL THEY WERE TOO PROGRESSIVE IN THEIR INITIALIZATION. OVERALL THE GFS AND CANADIAN WERE DOING SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE ECMWF. ON THE SURFACE WIND AND PRESSURE FIELD...THE GFS WAS DOING A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE NAM/ECMWF. ON THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL FIELD THE MODELS WERE CLOSE WITH THE CANADIAN DOING SLIGHTLY BETTER. BASED ON HEIGHT FALL ANALYSIS...STRONG EASTERN CONUS UPPER RIDGE... AND MODEL BIAS OF A COMPLICATED TROUGH OF THIS NATURE...WILL TEND TO BELIEVE A SLOWER/DEEPER AND FURTHER WEST PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER TROUGH TO OUR WEST. TONIGHT...UPPER LOW OVER THE FOUR CORNERS WILL FINALLY LIFT OUT ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES TONIGHT. STRONG SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT AND JET LEVEL DIVERGENCE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS. SURFACE FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE EASTERN FORECAST AREA WILL RETREAT WESTWARD AS A WARM FRONT...PROVIDING FURTHER FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS. ENVIRONMENT WILL BE MODERATELY UNSTABLE AND STRONGLY SHEARED...LEADING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...STRONG WINDS...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. DIVERGENCE ALOFT AND SLOW MOVING UPPER SYSTEM SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY OF TRAINING STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL. 024 SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT...RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF THE UPPER JET MOVES INTO THE AREA DURING THE DAY AND THEN REMAINS NEAR OR OVER THE AREA...ESPECIALLY IN THE WEST...DURING THE NIGHT. LOW LEVEL FOCUS ALONG WITH MID LEVEL LIFT WILL CONTINUE...ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. MODELS WANT TO DRY THINGS DURING THE AFTERNOON BUT LEARY OF THAT CONSIDERING THE JET IN THE AREA. SREF POPS REMAIN PRETTY HIGH THROUGH THE DAY WITH THE LOWEST IN THE SOUTH. SO DID TREND DOWN POPS A LITTLE...MAINLY IN THE SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON. ALSO WITH CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION...TRIED TO MAKE MAXES AS COOL AS POSSIBLE BUT STILL MAY BE WARM. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF REPRIEVE DURING THE EVENING. HOWEVER...MODELS HAVE CONTINUED THE TREND OF BEING SLOWER WITH SYSTEM PLUS ACTUALLY GIVING THE TROUGH MORE OF A NEGATIVE TILT AND ANOTHER STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH ROTATING AROUND IT. SREF POPS REMAIN PRETTY ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH AND EAST. SO TRENDED POPS IN THAT WAY. SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...SLOWER TREND WITH SYSTEM CONTINUES THIS PERIOD WITH NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH OR CUTOFF DEVELOPING TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST. CANADIAN IS THE MOST ROBUST WITH THIS. AGAIN SREF POPS ARE RATHER HIGH THROUGH THE DAY. IN FACT IT LOOKS LIKE COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION INCREASES THROUGH THE DAY. SO AGAIN INCREASED POPS ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST TO NORTHEAST HALF. PRECIPITATION SHOULD SLOWLY END FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE NIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION AROUND ON SUNDAY TRENDED THE MAXES DOWN. BUT AGAIN AM AFRAID THAT AM TOO WARM. MONDAY...WEAK RIDGING/WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT AND FAVORABLE SURFACE WILL MAKE FOR DRY DAY AND WARMING TEMPERATURES. MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...RATHER BENIGN PERIOD. MAY BE SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD. DRY PROGRESSIVE/WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD WITH RIDGING BY THE END WILL MAKE FOR A DRY FORECAST ALONG WITH A SLOW WARMING TREND. THANKS TO ALL WHO COLLABORATED. BULLER && .AVIATION... 510 PM MDT FRI OCT 7 2011 FOR THE 00Z TAFS...COLD FRONT CURRENTLY RETROGRADING BACK INTO THE AREA...WITH SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPING ALONG IT. EXPECT SHRA/TSRA TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE IN THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND TRANSITION TO MAINLY SHRA. TSRA WILL ONCE AGAIN BE POSSIBLE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. AS FAR AS CIG/VIS...EXPECT TEMPO MVFR CIGS/VIS IN HEAVIER TSRA EARLY...THEN TRANSITIONING TO PREDOMINANTLY MVFR CIG/VIS IN RAINSHOWERS. EXPECT CONDS TO IMPROVE TO VFR AFTER MIDDAY TOMORROW. BAS && .GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. NE...NONE. CO...NONE. &&
