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.

FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN ARKANSAS.

THE FRONT WILL REMAIN OVER THE STATE. AS SUCH...THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH HAS BEEN EXTENDED SOUTH FOR THE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING TIME FRAME.

WITH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE STATE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...THE THREAT FOR
FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING WILL ONLY INCREASE WITH TIME. THE
AREAS WITH THE GREATEST THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE STATE...BUT
THE CONCERN WILL SHIFT SOUTH AS THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE STATE.

RIVER FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN...PRIMARILY IN THE
WHITE RIVER BASIN. THIS INCLUDES THE
BUFFALO...WHITE...SPRING...ELEVEN POINT AND BLACK RIVER SYSTEMS.
SEVERAL LOCATIONS ALONG THESE RIVERS ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING A RISE
FROM RECENT RAINFALL. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE WHITE RIVER
