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.

OVER SE WY & NE CO THIS AFTERNOON...REMAINS PARKED OVER THESE AREAS
A 2ND UPPER LOW WILL DEVELOP OVER SRN KS. THIS SHOULD PUSH THE DRY
LINE PERHAPS AS FAR E AS I-35/I-135 EARLY THIS EVENING. GREATEST
SFC-BASED CAPES (4,000-4,500 J/KG) EXTEND IN A WELL-DEFINED S-N
ORIENTED AXIS FROM THE NORTH-CENTRAL OK/SOUTH-CENTRAL KS BORDER TO
AROUND KSLN. AS SUCH THE GREATEST SVR POTENTIAL WOULD SPREAD N/NE
ACROSS THESE AREAS THRU MID-LATE EVENING. WITH THE LOWER-DECK FLOW
SLOWLY BACKING...THE 3KM VORTICITY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS
DEEP-LAYER ASCENT CONTINUES TO INCREASE. AS SUCH THE TORNADIC
POTENTIAL WOULD LIKEWISE INCREASE WHERE TOR WATCH #108 IS IN EFFECT
TILL 10 PM CDT. AS THE INTENSE SFC LOW...CENTERED BETWEEN KSLN &
KCNK...LIFTS NNE THE WARM FRONT EXTENDING E FROM THE LOW WOULD LIFT
ALMOST DUE N...REACHING I-70 LATE THIS EVE BY WHICH TIME A PACIFIC

THU NIGHT-FRI NIGHT:
RAIN & EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS QUICKLY RETURN TO THE KS REGION THU
NIGHT FOR AS THE SFC LOW LIFTS SLOWLY NE ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE
FRI & FRI NIGHT...RAIN WOULD SPREAD NE ACROSS THE CWA. WITH A
NEGATIVELY-TILTED UPPER SHORTWAVE PUSHING ENE ACROSS THE TX/OK
PANHANDLES EMBEDDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO SPREAD ACROSS THE
CWA FRI & FRI NIGHT. SUFFICIENT LIFT WOULD BE INDUCED TO PRODUCE
A FEW SVR THUNDERSTORMS.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2016

UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE VIGOROUS MID
TO UPPER TROUGH MOVES OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE CENTRAL AND
