The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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

Tampa Bay, FL (KTBW), launched 12:00Z, 10.4 hours before the alert went out and 39 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.

RIDGE AXIS WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE REGION WITH THE LOW LEVEL FLOW
BECOMING WESTERLY. SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN FROM THE NORTH
ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION OFF THE EAST
COAST...BUT SHOULD STILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE TO CAUSE ISOLATED TO
