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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX

.DISCUSSION...
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL SHIFT EASTWARD SLOWLY BUT WILL CONTINUE
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS STRONG VORT LOBE ROTATING AROUND
UPPER LOW STEEPENS LAPSE RATES OVER NORTH TEXAS. ANY STORMS THAT
FORM AHEAD OF THE LINE ARE ENCOUNTERING A MOIST AIRMASS WITH
STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR. THEY HAVE BEEN RAPIDLY TRANSITIONING INTO
SUPER CELL STORMS AND THUS THE TORNADO THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO
THE EVENING HOURS AS WELL. AS THE DRY LINE PUSHES EAST LATER
TODAY...CONVECTION SHOULD WEAKEN AND THEN SHUT OFF BY SUNRISE.

NORTH TEXAS SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS
RIDGING OCCURS ALOFT. THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO DROP INTO
