Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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.

GLASSWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 24, 6:49 PM CDT, 2 hours 3 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 24, 6:49 PM CDT, 2 hours 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 649 PM CDT Sun May 24 2015 .SHORT TERM: (Through Late Tonight) Issued at 200 PM CDT Sun May 24 2015 Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will continue to develop in the unstable airmass this afternoon ahead of the main band of rain and storms that is aligned north to south from near IRK to SGF. Initial tornado threat will be with the MCV structure that is currently moving north-northeast from Sedalia to Kirksville the next few hours. Perhaps this activity will skirt our western CWA, but the larger threat of strong to severe thunderstorms will arrive a bit later this afternoon and evening. A strong shortwave will lift northeast across the region with an arcing band of thunderstorms accompanying it. The enviroment will be supportive of embedded mesovortices and short lived tornadoes as low level shear and helicity values will increase as the surface wind begins to back to the south-southeast as low pressure forms to our west. This activity should be progressive and therefore the threat of flash flooding remains low in our CWA. CVKING .LONG TERM: (Memorial Day through Sunday) Issued at 200 PM CDT Sun May 24 2015 Memorial Day still looks dry as subsidence is expected behind tonights system. Temperatures should be quite mild with some sunshine expected. The dry weather will not last long thought as next shortwave will move through the area Monday night and Tuesday morning bringing the area another round of showers and thunderstorms. Timing of convection has me doubting we see much severe weather on Tuesday. The pattern remains active the remainder of the week and straight into next weekend. Chance of thunderstorms each day with mild temperatures. Severe weather chances will depend on timing of individual shortwaves and available instability/shear. && .AVIATION: (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Monday Evening) Issued at 607 PM CDT Sun May 24 2015 Expect periods of SH/TS to continue through the evening until a low pressure system lifts away from the area. MVFR ceilings are expected to persist for several hours after the rain has ended. Once ceilings fall to MVFR later tonight, improvement is not expected until after 12z. Winds will remain southeasterly to southerly, then turn southwesterly after 06z with the passage of the surface low. Winds are forecast to back once again and become southerly after 18z.
