Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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 00:00Z, 2.4 hours before the alert went out and 146 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.

FIRST TORNADO WARNING OF EXPECTED SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK JUST
ISSUED.
A POTENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL TRACK
THROUGH NORTHERN ARKANSAS INTO WESTERN KENTUCKY TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE
AND COLD FRONT. SOME OF THE STORMS WILL BE SEVERE WITH TORNADOES.
HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE A BIG THREAT ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN AREAS
WHERE HEAVY RAIN OCCURRED THIS MORNING. HOWEVER LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH MEMPHIS
METRO AREA SHORTLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT AND EASTERN AREAS BY 12Z.
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BEHIND THE FRONT. LOWS WILL MAINLY BE IN
THE 40S.
FRIDAY...NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL USHER IN COLDER
AIR. HIGHS WILL ONLY BE IN THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S. SKIES WILL
CLEAR BY THIS AFTERNOON.
BY SATURDAY...ANOTHER WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH IN THE MORNING.
MODELS INDICATING FRONT SHOULD COME THROUGH DRY. WINDS WILL TURN
AROUND TO THE SOUTH AND WILL HELP ALLOW TEMPERATURES REBOUND INTO
THE 60S.
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO PUMP IN GULF MOISTURE INTO THE MIDSOUTH. THE ABUNDANT MOISTURE
COMBINED WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION COULD SET OFF SOME SHOWERS DURING
THIS TIME PERIOD. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE MILD WITH READINGS IN
THE 50S.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...ANOTHER POTENT LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP OVER SOMEWHERE OVER SOUTHERN KANSAS AND
TRACK NORTHEASTWARD. MODELS DISAGREE SLIGHTLY ON EXACT TRACK.
REGARDLESS...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND MOVE INTO THE MIDSOUTH SUNDAY NIGHT.
SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE WITH
THIS SYSTEM THAN TONIGHT/S IS THAT THE CAPE VALUES WILL BE HIGHER
BUT HELICITY WILL BE LESS AS THE LOW TRACK WILL BE FURTHER NORTH.
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS BUT ISOLATED
TORNADOES WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE MIDSOUTH FOR THE REST OF THE
PERIOD. EXPECT NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND DRY WEATHER.
