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.

FIRST ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER ALONG THE PRE-FRONTAL TROF HAS ENDED

BUT MOST OF THESE AREAS HAVE RAINFALL DEFICITS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES
SINCE THIS PAST WINTER SO WHILE THE RAINFALL WILL BE BENEFICIAL
TEMPORARY FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE BUT NOT LIKELY SIGNIFICANT
ENOUGH TO WARRANT THE ISSUANCE OF A FLOOD WATCH. THE WAVE OF
ENERGY WILL PASS EAST OF THE REGION BY SUNRISE AND ALLOW FOR
TRAILING FRONT TO PUSH THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA SAT MORNING WITH
MORE RAINFALL/EMBEDDED STORMS...ENDING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
BY THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. MIN TEMPS TONIGHT

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR WITH BREAK IN THE STORMS THIS EVENING BUT AFTER 06Z EXPECT A
RETURN TO IFR/MVFR VSBYS/CIGS IN SOLID SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED STORMS
THAT WILL LAST UNTIL AROUND 12Z WITH RAINFALL BECOMING LIGHTER
UNTIL 15-17Z...THEN ENDING WITH LINGERING MVFR CIGS UNTIL THE 21Z
TIME FRAME THAT SHOULD SLOWLY BECOME VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL INCREASE LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY
SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT TO 15-20 KNOTS BUT SHOULD REMAIN JUST
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA AND WILL KEEP EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINES
