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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1259 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014
.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
ISSUED AT 1259 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014
THE COLD FRONT CURRENT EXTENDS FROM LEXINGTON-FRANKLIN-BELOIT KS.
TOR WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL AREAS N OF THE FRONT.
AND WHAT IS DISCONCERTING IS THAT THE FRONT IS QUASI-STATIONARY.
THE ANVIL CIRRUS FROM MORNING TSTMS OVER ERN NEB/KS HAS RAPIDLY
THINNED. THE STATIONARITY OF THE FRONT MEANS A LONGER WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR SEVERE STORMS.
VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS INCREASING CU DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE
FRONT. WE HAVE ALREADY SEE SOME STORMS DEVELOP. MUCAPE IS
CURRENTLY 500-1000 J/KG AND FURTHER INSOLATION WITH DEWPOINTS WELL
INTO THE 50S MEANS FURTHER DESTABILIZATION. THE 17Z RAP SUGGESTS
CAPE WILL PEAK 1200-2000 J/KG. WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE SHEAR...THE
ENVIRONMENT WILL ONLY BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE TSTMS.
BE ALERT FOR ABNORMAL STORM MOVEMENT IN OUR WARNINGS /TO THE N OR
NW/. THESE STORMS WILL BE RACING 45-55 MPH. THAT MEANS YOUR
OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO THREATENING WX WILL BE REDUCED.
ADDITIONAL STAFFING HAS ARRIVED.
PLEASE FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS/STATEMENTS FROM THIS OFFICE AND WE WILL
CONT TO PROVIDE MESOSCALE UPDATES VIA THIS PRODUCT AS THE EVENT
UNFOLDS...TIME PERMITTING.
STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SHOULD NOW BE ACTIVATED.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 353 AM CDT SUN APR 27 2014
THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORECAST CONCERNS TODAY INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL
OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...ALONG WITH HEADLINES FOR NON-
THUNDERSTORM WINDS AND FIRE WEATHER.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT WAS THE
PRIMARY THREAT FOCUSED ON IN THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. FORECAST
MODELS HAVE REALLY COME INTO RATHER GOOD AGREEMENT WHEN IT COMES
TO THE PROJECTED LOCATION OF THE BIG SYNOPTIC FEATURES TODAY
INCLUDING THE SFC AND UPPER LOW POSITION ALONG WITH THE DRY LINE.
HOW EXACTLY CONVECTION WILL ORGANIZE AND FORM WITH REGARD TO
LOCATION AND TIMING DOES VARY FROM MODEL TO MODEL...BUT THERE IS A
DECENT CONSENSUS THAT IS BUILDING.
AS FOR THE BIG FEATURES...THE UPPER 500MB LOW WILL SWING ACROSS
NORTHWESTERN KANSAS WITH THE SFC LOW JUST TO ITS NORTH OVER
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. A DRY LINE WILL EXTEND IN AN ARC FROM NEAR
THE SFC LOW TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST AND LIFT NORTHEAST THROUGH THE
DAY. THERE WILL BE A FAIRLY DECENT SIZED WARM SECTOR THAT WILL
INCLUDE THE NORTHEASTERN HALF OF OUR FORECAST AREA AND MUCH OF
EASTERN NEBRASKA. RECENT MODEL RUNS HAVE BEEN SLOWING THE DRY LINE
DOWN THIS AFTERNOON.
SOME THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALREADY ONGOING THIS MORNING TO OUR SOUTH
AND EXPECT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO PICK UP THROUGH
THE MORNING WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
OUR AREA BETWEEN 11 AM AND 5 PM. THERE MAY BE MORE THAN ONE ROUND
OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR NORTHEASTERN ZONES AS THUNDERSTORMS
FORM NEAR THE DRY LINE AND THEN MOVE OFF THE DRY LINE INTO THE
WARM SECTOR WITH THIS SCENARIO POSSIBLY REPEATING ITSELF. THE
GREATEST THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA WILL BE
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE DRY LINE...WHICH BY AROUND MID DAY SHOULD
EXTEND FROM LEXINGTON...TO MINDEN...TO NELSON NEBRASKA.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING NORTHERLY AT AROUND 40 TO 60
MPH...BUT COULD EVEN TRACK A LITTLE NORTHWESTERLY ACROSS OUR
WESTERN FORECAST AREA IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE SFC LOW.
ALL FORMS OF SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING
WINDS...AND TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY. THIS IS A BIG SPRING
STORM SYSTEM WITH A LOT OF WIND SHEAR AND AT LEAST MODEST
INSTABILITY WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR. TORNADOES MAY COME FROM LESS
THAN CLASSIC LOOKING SUPERCELLS INCLUDING SOME LOWER TOPPED
SMALLER SUPERCELLS LOCATED CLOSE TO THE UPPER LOW AND THERE IS
EVEN THE POTENTIAL OF SOME NON-MESOCYCLONE/LANDSPOUT TORNADOES
GIVEN THE STEEP LAPSE RATES ALONG THE DRY LINE. SPOTTERS SHOULD
BE READY FOR ACTIVATION TODAY.
WIND ADVISORY...THE LAPSE RATES ARE DRY ADIABATIC ALL THE WAY TO
700 MB THIS AFTERNOON BEHIND THE DRY LINE AND EXPECT STRONG
MIXING...WHICH WILL BRING DOWN STRONGER WINDS FROM ALOFT. MODEL
GUIDANCE VALUES ARE GENERALLY JUST BELOW WIND ADVISORY
THRESHOLDS...BUT HAVE BUMPED UP THE WINDS ABOVE MODEL GUIDANCE
ACROSS SOME OF OUR KANSAS COUNTIES GIVEN THE STEEP LAPSE RATES AND
HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY. THIS WIND ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE
EXPANDED FURTHER NORTHWARD TODAY.
FIRE WEATHER...SEE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW.
TONIGHT...THINGS SHOULD REALLY QUIET DOWN BY LATE EVENING AS THE
INSTABILITY IS USED UP AND DEWPOINTS FALL ACROSS OUR FORECAST
AREA. LITTLE IF ANY PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TONIGHT...BUT CAN
NOT RULE OUT A LITTLE SOMETHING DUE TO THE UPPER LOW TRACKING
ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA.
.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 353 AM CDT SUN APR 27 2014
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION MONDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY AND TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD.
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURE AFFECTING THE
WEATHER THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD. THIS LOW WILL BRING
PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE
IT FINALLY MOVES FAR ENOUGH TO THE EAST. THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE
THROUGH NEBRASKA ON MONDAY. WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO
PUSH INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH WITH THE BEST CHANCES IN THE NORTH
AND LITTLE TO NO PRECIPITATION EXPECTED FOR KANSAS. PRECIPITATION
CONTINUES TO EXPAND MONDAY NIGHT AND MUCH OF THE AREA COULD HAVE
PRECIPITATION. MODELS STILL HAVE A FEW MINOR DIFFERENCES AND ONE OF
THEM IS THE AMOUNT OF COLD AIR. THE NAM AND THE ECMWF ARE COLDER
THAN THE GFS. LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING THE
TEMPERATURES AT 850MB DIP BELOW FREEZING. THE SURFACE TEMPERATURES
IN THE UPPER 30S SHOULD KEEP PRECIPITATION AS RAIN ALTHOUGH THERE
COULD BE A SNOWFLAKE OR TWO IN THE NORTHWEST. THE UPPER LOW IS STILL
IN THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON TUESDAY AND THERE IS STILL A CHANCE
FOR SOME SHOWERS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. ONCE AGAIN THE 850MB
TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW FREEZING AND WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN
THE MID 30S THERE COULD BE A FEW SNOWFLAKES MIXED IN. FOR NOW WILL
KEEP THE TREND OF JUST RAIN SHOWERS...BUT THIS BEARS WATCHING. FOR
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...THE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES
BUT A COUPLE OF WAVES CIRCULATING AROUND THE LOW COULD BRING A FEW
RAIN CHANCES DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN ON THE COOL SIDE WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 50S.
BY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE WELL OUT OF THE
AREA. A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SETTLES INTO THE AREA ON FRIDAY
AND TEMPERATURES WILL START TO WARM UP. WHEN THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES
TO THE EAST ON SATURDAY THERE WILL BE SOME WARM ADVECTION AND
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WARM INTO THE 60S.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1223 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014
FOCUS WILL BE ON THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT WITHIN IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE WINDS WILL BE
STRONG FROM THE SOUTH AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND GUSTS CLOSER TO 35
KNOTS. EVENTUALLY...THESE WINDS WILL CALM DOWN AROUND 7 PM. WATCH
FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP...RESULTING IN REDUCED FLIGHT
CONDITIONS.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 353 AM CDT SUN APR 27 2014
DEWPOINT TEMPERATURES SHOULD RAPIDLY FALL LATER THIS MORNING AND
