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
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 10.9 hours before the alert went out and 154 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.

MSAS HAS BEEN SHOWING A THETA-E AXIS AND INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH ALONG THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS IS WHERE ISOLATED SHOWERS/TSTMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING.
