Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
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
Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 12:00Z, 7.1 hours before the alert went out and 163 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.

SUPPLIES OF FOOD...WATER AND NECESSARY MEDICATIONS ARE ON HAND TO
LAST THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE WINTER STORM.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
TUESDAY...WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

THE SYSTEM EXITS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. IN THE WAKE OF THIS
SYSTEM...COOLER BUT DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE
