The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 350 PM CDT THU MAY 16 2013

CONVECTION IS ONGOING ACROSS SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA AS A COMPACT MID
LEVEL CIRCULATION MOVES EAST OUT OF NORTHEAST COLORADO.  LAPSE RATES
ARE STEEP...AND LATEST LAPS ANALYSIS INDICATES GREATER THAN 1000
J/KG OF CAPE AVAILABLE WITHIN AN ATMOSPHERE CHARACTERIZED BY 0-6KM
SHEAR OF 30KTS OR SO.  ADDITIONAL SEVERE STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT BUT SHIFT EAST WITH THE MID
LEVEL WAVE.  OTHERWISE HEIGHTS BUILD ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON
FRIDAY WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE FOR A WARM DAY.  HIGHS APPROACHING 90
WILL BE POSSIBLE SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR.  A WARM FRONT
WILL SET UP ALONG THE SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER BY LATE AFTERNOON...AND
WHEN COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WEAK WAVE PASSAGE...ADDITIONAL STORMS MAY
BE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA BY LATE AFTERNOON FRIDAY.
ANY STORM THAT FORMS WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ONCE AGAIN BE ON
THE STRONG SIDE...IF NOT SEVERE...AS SUFFICIENT CAPE AND SHEAR IS
AVAILABLE.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 350 PM CDT THU MAY 16 2013

MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH SUNDAY AND THEN MODELS HAVING
MAJOR DIFFERENCES WITH UPPER PATTERN. EC AND ENSEMBLE MEANS ARE IN
BETTER AGREEMENT IN LONG TERM WITH GFS THE OUTLIER. RIDGE SHARPENS

FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS. SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUES AT KVTN...WITH ALL SHOWERS NOW
NORTH AND EAST OF KLBF. SHORT TERM MODELS ARE FAVORING THE
REDEVELOPMENT OF ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS

TO INCLUDE -TSRA IN THE TAF. A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE
POSSIBLE...WHICH COULD BRING TEMPO IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS.
HOWEVER...STRONG THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE ISOLATED
AND HAVE LEFT ANY MENTION OF SUB VFR CONDITIONS OUT OF THE TAF FOR
NOW. ALL PRECIP ACTIVITY OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA SHOULD COME TO AN
END THIS EVENING WITH VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING THROUGH 18Z
