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
Topeka, KS (KFOE), launched 00:00Z, 8.5 hours before the alert went out and 121 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.

32What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Kansas City, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 6, 12:10 AM CDT, 3 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 12:10 AM CDT, 3 hours 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 1210 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2014 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 309 PM CDT SAT JUL 5 2014 For today and tonight, the main forecast challenge will be whether or not convection can redevelop late this afternoon along remnant outflow boundaries/temperature gradients left over from morning convection. A decent shortwave trough will drop southward through the region tonight and could help spark this convection, but stable, cool air over most of the CWA may prevent thunderstorm development in spite of that wave. High-resolution models continue to initiate convection around 22-23z, but also continue to shift initiation west of the CWA where clear skies and breezy southwest winds have allowed temperatures to warm into the 90s. This seems like the most likely scenario given current conditions and cloud cover, so have trended PoPs downward this evening and tonight but still allowed for the possibility of precipitation with the shortwave trough. If storms do initiate over the forecast area tonight, the lack of upper-level flow and thus any deep layer shear will keep severe weather chances low. Hot temperatures in the mid 90s and the recent return to upper 60s dewpoints will result in 100-103 degree heat indices both tomorrow and Monday across most of the region. Does not look like a heat advisory is needed at this time, but will be something to watch with future forecast issuances. Next decent chance for thunderstorms will come Monday night into early Tuesday morning as a shortwave trough kicks a cold front through the region. Models have been fairly consistent with this feature, so continued to raise precipitation chances across the northern half of the CWA. Precipitation chances drop off south of I-70 as the shortwave trough exits the region to the east and forcing along the cold front diminishes on Tuesday, but cold pool interactions or any change in the track of the wave could change this slightly. Slightly cooler temperatures and drier conditions should follow behind the front, however; southerly surface flow, thunderstorm chances, warmer temperatures should return by late Thursday or Friday through the end of the period. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday Night) Issued at 1206 AM CDT SUN JUL 6 2014 Scattered thunderstorm activity looks to be on the increase as radar trends show thunderstorms near the terminals. Confidence is rather low in storm coverage and location as we go into the overnight hours, but hi-res short term models have indicated that convection will generally increase through the overnight hours. Will maintain a mention of VCTS through early morning, and handle convection at the terminals with AMD as needed. Storm activity should drop well south of the terminals by sunrise, giving way to VFR conditions through the day on Sunday. KSTJ could see a period of light fog early Sunday morning, but low confidence in that scenario as well. Will maintain TEMPO with mention of MVFR for early Sunday morning. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && DISCUSSION...Laflin AVIATION...Leighton
