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.
The nearest sounding before it
Newport, NC (KMHX), launched 12:00Z, 10.4 hours before the alert went out and 56 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.

PLAINS. THIS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE/FOCUSING MECHANISM SHUD LEAD
TO A DECENT COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY IN
DIURNALLY FAVORED MID AFTN INTO EARLY EVE TIMEFRAME. PRECIPITABLE
WATERS REMAIN ARND 1.5 INCHES AND IN COMBO WITH WEAK STEERING/SLOW
MOVING STORMS IS SUGGESTIVE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY
DOWNPOURS. RELATIVELY WEAK FORCING WITH CAPE VALUES 1000+ J/KG

ISOLATED STRONG TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TUE AND WED DURING PEAK
HEATING AS WELL. THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO LIFT NORTHEAST THU AS THE
NORTHERN STREAM JET STRENGTHENS ACROSS THE PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES
REGION BUT SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY REMAIN TO ALLOW FOR
A FEW DIURNAL STORMS. UPPER RIDGE WILL THEN CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER
THE SE FRI AND SAT...WHICH OVERALL SHOULD WORK TO SUPPRESS
CONVECTION. A REX BLOCK IS PROGGED TO DEVELOP EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE MID ATLANTIC AND UPPER LOW
MOVING WWD INTO FL WITH MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUING. TEMPS
LOOK TO BE NEAR SEASONABLE NORMS EARLY IN THE LONG TERM WITH HIGHS
IN THE L80S INLAND TO 70S ALONG THE COAST AND LOWS IN THE 60S.
