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.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 548 AM CDT FRI APR 4 2014/

DISCUSSION...
SHRA/TSRA HAVE INCREASED IN INTENSITY/AREAL COVERAGE AS THE FRONT
CONTINUES TO MOVE SE...NOW JUST ENTERING THE LAKES REGION OF
INLAND SE TX. WITH AMPLE INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND LATEST
MODEL TRENDS SHOWING A BOWING FEATURE OF THIS LINE IN THE NEXT FEW

WITH THE FRONT BECOMING STATIONARY ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS
.OVER-RUNNING SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE OFFSHORE...WITH SKIES
NOT EXPECTED TO CLEAR ACROSS OUR REGION. THE WIND PATTERN ALOFT
REMAINING FROM THE WSW WILL KEEP THE DOOR OPEN FOR THE NEXT
SIGNIFICANT DISTURBANCE TO BRING ANOTHER GOOD CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA
FOR SAT AFTERNOON INTO LATE SUN AS A FRONTAL WAVE/LOW DEVELOPS SAT
NIGHT AND MOVES NE SUN.

FOLLOWING THE EXIT OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE END OF THE PRECIP
AND SEASONABLE TEMPS FOR MON. MINOR SHORTWAVE MAY GENERATE A
