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.

JDGWhat 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 Louisville, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 27, 2:56 PM EDT, 2 hours 37 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 2:56 PM EDT, 2 hours 37 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 256 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012 .Short Term (Tonight through Saturday Night)... Issued at 250 PM EDT Fri Jul 27 2012 Upper trough has been moving steadily east southeast today, with a rough axis this hour from near KLOT to near KSTL. Storms have formed out ahead of this trough across central Indiana, also out ahead of a sharp dewpoint gradient along a cool front. Cumulus field over our region is limited to roughly along and east of I-65. Still given convergence along that sharp front moving into the region later this afternoon, expect isolated to scattered storms developing and pushing eastward. Limiting factor today compared to yesterday is the amount of precipitable water available. Freezing level and wet bulb zeroes are lower than at this time yesterday, so combining this information with drier air in the column should allow for larger hail to form today in addition to damaging winds. SPC mesonanalysis page indicates highest K indices in the area where the cumulus field has congested the most, just to our north. Given these threats, have gone ahead with a severe thunderstorm watch over the north. Should coverage become more widespread than current thinking, we can expand this watch farther south. Coverage should die down with loss of heating this evening. Have forecast dry after midnight. Rest of the period should be dry as well, as deeper moisture shifts away from the region in the wake of that upper trough's passage. Temperatures Saturday and Saturday night will be close to normal for late July. .Long Term (Sunday through Friday)... Issued at 255 PM EDT Fri Jul 27 2012 After a dry mostly sunny Sunday, an active NW flow with multiple shortwaves will dominate the pattern Mon/Tues with perhaps greater instability and a stronger shortwave signal forecast for Mon Night into early Tues. Looks like this leading wave will be just ahead of a sfc boundary according to the 12Z GFS/GFS ensembles. The front is a little less obvious in the 0Z ECMWF data. So after an early round of convection Tues, a consensus in model timing of the front suggests another round of convection developing late Tues just ahead of the front. After the front passes through the area or washes out Tues night/Wed, at least a couple of shortwaves look to remain in the flow for Thurs/Fri. The GFS is a bit more aggressive bringing down another sfc front for later in the week. Not real confident in this front quite yet, but will allow 20-40% POPs in the forecast for more diurnal based convection and the shortwave possibility which is more probable at this point. Temperatures in the long term period look to remain near normal or a tad above normal. High temps should top out in the upper 80s and lower 90s with lows in the upper 60s and lower 70s. && .Aviation (18Z TAF Issuance)... Issued at 115 PM EDT Fri Jul 27 2012 Atmosphere drier today than yesterday, but a vigorous upper trough is dropping in from southern Illinois/central Indiana this hour, and combined with good instability this afternoon should produce isolated to scattered storms mid afternoon to early evening. Because coverage is expected to be more scattered than yesterday, have gone with vicinity wording for now. Will update with tempo groups as pattern evolves. The stronger storms today will bring high wind gusts and large hail. While the storms may not go over the TAF sites, outflow from these storms could briefly change the wind direction at the terminals. Think coverage should stay north and east of KBWG. Dry air filtering in behind the cold front associated with the upper trough will bring an end to rain chances late this evening and should provide VFR conditions for the weekend. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
