Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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.

CAVANAUGHWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 15, 5:42 PM CDT, 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 15, 5:42 PM CDT, 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 542 PM CDT WED MAY 15 2013 .AVIATION... THE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION OF THE UPPER LOW OVER OKLAHOMA IS DRIVING STORM MOTION ACROSS NORTH TEXAS TODAY. ACTIVITY OVER EASTERN COUNTIES WILL LIKELY MOVE NORTHEAST AWAY FROM TAF SITES. WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON DEVELOPMENT WEST AND NORTHWEST OF THE AREA WHERE GOOD INSTABILITY RESIDES. THE CURRENT THINKING IS THAT STORMS SHOULD INCREASE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WEST OF I-35 AS A SUBTLE DISTURBANCE ROTATES AROUND THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE UPPER LOW...AND THIS ACTIVITY WOULD PROPAGATE EAST TOWARDS THE METROPLEX. DEVELOPMENT REMAINED ISOLATED MOST OF THE AFTERNOON...BUT THE LATEST TRENDS AND BLEND OF HI-RESOLUTION GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION CAN BE EXPECTED...WHICH WOULD BE NEAR THE METRO AREA TERMINALS 01-02Z. WILL THEREFORE MAINTAIN THE VCTS BEGINNING IN THAT TIME FRAME. MAY NEED TO STICK WITH A TEMPO GROUP 02-05Z...THOUGH LATE ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE MADE DEPENDING ON RADAR TRENDS. FOR WACO...TIMING WILL BE SIMILAR DUE TO EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL TEXAS DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY WOULD MOVE EAST TOWARDS THE WACO AREA...WHICH ALLOWING FOR AT LEAST A VCTS DURING THE 02-05Z TIME FRAME. ACTIVITY WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AROUND 06Z. OTHERWISE CIGS SHOULD REMAIN PREDOMINATELY MVFR THROUGH MIDDAY TOMORROW. BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED IN THUNDERSTORMS. 30 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 342 PM CDT WED MAY 15 2013/ THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF AN UPPER LOW. SOME OF THE ACTIVITY ON OUR SIDE OF THE RED RIVER MAY POSE A HAIL THREAT THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. IN SUNNY AREAS FROM SAN ANGELO TO ABILENE TO WICHITA FALLS... TEMPERATURES HAVE CLIMBED WELL INTO THE 80S. A DRYLINE IS WELL WEST...MAINTAINING 60+ DEW POINTS ACROSS THIS AREA. WHATEVER MINIMAL CAP REMAINS THERE WILL LIKELY ERODE WITH ADDITIONAL SURFACE HEATING AND LARGE-SCALE LIFT...RESULTING IN CONVECTIVE INITIATION WELL AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE. WITH CONSIDERABLE INSTABILITY...CYCLONIC SHEAR...AND STRONG LAPSE RATES ALOFT... THE STORM MODE WILL FAVOR RAPIDLY DEVELOPING SUPERCELLS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL. SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS IS BEING INDUCED IN THE WAKE OF THE EXITING UPPER LOW ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS OF WEST TEXAS. AS THE CONVECTION DEVELOPS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...THE SURFACE WINDS SHOULD BEGIN BACKING IN RESPONSE TO THE SURFACE LOW AND ANY RESULTING DRYLINE BULGE. THE INCREASING EASTERLY COMPONENT IN THE SURFACE WINDS WILL ENHANCE THE CYCLONIC SHEAR...PARTICULARLY IN THE LOW-LEVELS...ENHANCING THE TORNADO THREAT WITH ANY ISOLATED SUPERCELLS. THIS ACTIVITY MAY IMPACT WESTERN ZONES BEFORE SUNSET. THE ONGOING CONVECTION IS RACING TO THE NORTHEAST. BUT AS THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO DRIFT NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS OKLAHOMA...THE FLOW ALOFT ABOVE WESTERN ZONES WILL VEER MARKEDLY. THIS WILL FURTHER ENHANCE THE DIRECTIONAL SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE CYCLONE... AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT TO MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTH TEXAS THIS EVENING. THE FLOW MIGHT SUGGEST THE STORMS WOULD THEN SWING NORTHEASTWARD INTO NORTHEAST TEXAS OVERNIGHT. BUT IF THE CONVECTION CAN CONGEAL INTO AN MCS IN OUR NORTHWESTERN ZONES AND GENERATE A WELL DEFINED COLD POOL...IT WOULD LIKELY CONTINUE SURGING SOUTHEASTWARD DEEP INTO THE CWA TONIGHT...FED BY A SOUTHERLY LLJ OF 30-40KTS. ALTHOUGH A TORNADO THREAT MAY PERSIST INTO THE EVENING HOURS...SUCH A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WOULD LIKELY TRANSITION INTO A SIGNIFICANT WIND EVENT. THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH THROUGH MIDNIGHT WILL COVER BOTH THE HAIL THREAT EARLY AND THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT LATER THIS EVENING. THE MAIN TIME FRAME FOR IMPACTS IN THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH METROPLEX WILL BE 9 PM TO 2 AM CDT. THE CONVECTION WILL COME TO AN END ON THURSDAY AS THE LOW EXITS THE REGION. MID AND UPPER RIDGING WILL PASS THROUGH ON FRIDAY... PROVIDING A BRIEF RESPITE BEFORE THE NEXT TROUGH APPROACHES ON SATURDAY. A DRYLINE MAY DEVELOP IN WEST TEXAS...ANY CONVECTION ALONG WHICH MAY REACH OUR WESTERN ZONES. EXTENDED GUIDANCE IS DIVERGING ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER TROUGH NEXT WEEK. WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT FROM ENTERING THE CWA...BUT MAINTAIN SOME LOW-END RAIN CHANCES. 25 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
