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.

AROUND 40 AT KLHX...MID 40S AT KLAA...AND AROUND 60 AT KSPD (LIKELY
DUE TO THE RAIN THAT FELL THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING)...BETTER
INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE SEVERE
WITH GUSTY WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY THREATS. THE SHORTWAVE
MOVES OUT OF COLORADO EARLY THIS EVENING WITH THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED

GUSH OF HIGHER DEW POINT AIR WOULD BE LIKELY ACROSS OUR PLAINS. OUR
FORECAST HAS SCATTERED POPS ACROSS THE PLAINS DURING THE NIGHT
LOWERING TO ISOLATED BY SUNRISE..BUT THAT COULD CHANGE. ACROSS
