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 NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
340 PM EDT MON JUL 9 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LINGER NEAR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
THROUGH THE WEEK. SEVERAL DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ALONG THE FRONT
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE FRONT WILL DISSIPATE THIS WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM MON...SVR TSTM WATCH 483 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR EASTERN NC
THROUGH 02Z TONIGHT. LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS FRONTAL BOUNDARY
STILL NEAR THE VA/NC BORDER WITH A SFC TROUGH OVER THE
REGION...THOUGH WINDS NORTH OF HWY 264 BEGINNING TO SHIFT MORE NLY.
12Z MODELS NOT IN GREAT AGREEMENT WITH EVOLUTION OF THE FRONT...BUT
AT THIS TIME THINK FRONT WILL SINK INTO EASTERN NC LATE TODAY AND
TONIGHT...LIKELY REMAINING NORTH OF THE HWY 264. SHOWERS AND TSTMS
BEGINNING TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. SPC CONTINUES TO HAVE AREA
OUTLOOKED FOR SLIGHT RISK TODAY. ISOLATED STRONG TO SVR TSTMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE. INGREDIENTS IN PLACE FOR SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND
GUSTY WINDS...WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACTING AS AN ADDITIONAL FORCING
MECHANISM. A VERY MOIST UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS IN PLACE WITH PWAT
VALUES AROUND 2.2 INCHES. 1000-700 MB THETA-E RIDGE ORIENTED WSW-ENE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. STORM MOTIONS FORECASTED
TO BE 10KT OR LESS...SO THEREFORE ANY STORMS THAT FORM WILL BE
RATHER SLOW-MOVING WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. WITH FZL HEIGHTS OVER
15KFT...WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS AROUND 14.5 KFT AND 500MB TEMPS
-5C...THINK IT WILL BE FAIRLY TOUGH TO SEE LARGE HAIL...TOUGH CANNOT
RULE IT OUT AT THIS TIME. OVERALL THINK SVR THREAT WILL DIMINISH
WITH LOSS OF HEATING TONIGHT...THOUGH STILL EXPECT SCT CONVECTION
OVERNIGHT. WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF LIKELY POPS TO THE NORTH AND
CHANCE SOUTH...TAPERING OFF TO HIGH CHANCES OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER MUGGY
NIGHT WITH TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM MON...FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER IN NE NC TUE.
WITH CONTINUED UNSTABLE ATMS AND SATURATED LOW LEVELS EXPECT
SCT/NUM SHOWERS AND TSTMS THROUGH THE DAY...WILL CONTINUE HIGH
CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS TUE. OVERALL AT THIS TIME WIDESPREAD SVR
THREAT LOOKS LOW WITH WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER HELPING TO STABILIZE
ATMS...THOUGH CANNOT RULE OUT A STRONG TSTM DEVELOPING. TEMPS
MIGHT BE CHALLENGING DEPENDING ON THE AMT OF CLOUD COVER AND HOW
FAR SOUTH THE BOUNDARY SINKS...FOR NOW HAVE KEPT HIGHS 85-90.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM MONDAY...NOT MUCH CHANGE IN OVERALL THINKING FOR THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. BROAD UPPER TROUGH WILL LINGER IN THE
REGION THROUGH MIDWEEK AS AN EAST-WEST ORIENTED COLD FRONT WILL
DROP TO NEAR THE ALBEMARLE SOUND BEFORE DISSIPATING THURSDAY. THIS
FRONT...ALONG WITH EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES ALONG THE BASE OF THE 500
MB TROUGH AND A VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES...WILL LEAD TO
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY. BASED ON MODEL QPF AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES...THINK
THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL OCCUR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WITH
ANOTHER ROUND OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE IN ASSOCIATION
WITH ANOTHER STRONG SHORTWAVE ON THURSDAY. WHILE HPC QPF VALUES
ARE QUITE HIGH...HAVE TONED DOWN A BIT AND HAVE A TOTAL QPF OF
ROUGHLY 2 TO 3 INCHES AREA-WIDE FOR THE PERIOD...ALTHOUGH LOCALLY
HEAVIER TOTALS ARE VERY POSSIBLE. HAVE POPS IN THE LIKELY RANGE
FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY FOR MOST AREAS. THE INCREASED
PRECIPITATION THREAT AND CLOUDINESS SHOULD HOLD MAX TEMPS IN THE
80S FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. UPPER HEIGHTS START TO BUILD AGAIN
FRIDAY AS RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE ATLANTIC. TEMPERATURES WILL
RISE AGAIN INTO THE 90S BY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH CONVECTION
BECOMING MORE LIMITED TO THE SEA BREEZE.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1 PM MON...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY WINDS...AND
POSSIBLE REDUCED CEILINGS AND VSBYS. TERMINALS PGV AND ISO WILL
HAVE A SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/STORMS DUE TO THE CLOSE
PROXIMITY OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO LINGER NEAR THE
NORTHERN CWA. OVERALL EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO DOMINATE. GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO HINT AT FOG/STRATUS FORMATION OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY
TUE MORNING. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW AT THIS TIME...BUT COULD SEE
REDUCED CIGS WITH SATURATED LOW LEVELS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUE RESULTING IN POSSIBLE IFR CONDITIONS.
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM MONDAY...LOOKS LIKE A WET PERIOD FOR TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY WITH WIDESPREAD MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR IN HEAVIER
SHOWERS. WITH AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDING WEST FROM THE ATLANTIC...ANTICIPATE
IMPROVED CONDITIONS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH MAINLY VFR EXCEPT FOR
THE USUAL LATE NIGHT STRATUS AND FOG.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM MON...LATEST OBS SHOW VARIABLE WINDS 5-15KT...SOUTH
OF HATTERAS SW AND NORTH OF HATTERAS NW-NE. EXTENDED SCA FOR
CENTRAL WATERS THROUGH 21Z AS SEAS CONTINUE TO HANG TOUGH AT
6-7FT WITH CONTINUED MODERATE SW FLOW. FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG THE
VA/NC BORDER WILL CONTINUE TO WREAK HAVOC WITH WIND DIRECTIONS
THROUGH THE PERIOD...MAINLY NORTH OF HATTERAS. MODELS NOT IN GREAT
AGREEMENT WITH OVERALL EVOLUTION OF FRONT...THOUGH THINK IT COULD
SINK AS FAR SOUTH AS OREGON INLET TONIGHT AND TUE. OVERALL TUE
