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
Tallahassee Rgnl, FL (KTLH), launched 12:00Z, 7.5 hours before the alert went out and 135 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.

ADLWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 10, 1:32 PM EDT, 1 hour 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 1:32 PM EDT, 1 hour 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 132 PM EDT SUN JUL 10 2016 .AVIATION [Through 18Z Monday]... Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop across the Florida Panhandle and southeast Alabama and will spread northeastward this afternoon and early evening, mainly from TLH north and west. DHN has the best chance of seeing brief MVFR/IFR visibility restrictions from thunderstorms, and will also see MVFR cigs at times this afternoon. Showers and storms will diminish this evening, and VFR conditions are anticipated tonight and tomorrow morning at all terminals. && .PREV DISCUSSION [945 AM EDT]... .NEAR TERM [Through Today]... Made some minor changes to precipitation chances this morning; added likely showers and thunderstorms to our western Gulf zones (along with a few coastal locations) due to good coverage of ongoing showers and thunderstorms there. Otherwise, the forecast looks to be on track, with showers and thunderstorms likely across the FL Panhandle, southeast AL, and parts of southwest GA this afternoon. PWAT values in these areas will be around 2", and along with CAPE above 2000 J/kg and forcing from the sea breeze, this will result in fairly widespread coverage of precipitation during the afternoon and early evening hours. .SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Tuesday]... The beginning of the work week will mark yet another change in the overall weather pattern across the tri-state region. The shortwave trough to the west that has been influencing our weather this weekend will weaken and cut off from the mean flow, opening the door for the sub-tropical ridge to build back in over the tri-state region. All model guidance is indicating deep layer drying across the region as the ridge builds in, which will effectively supress convection across much of the region on Monday. The exception will be northwest portions of the forecast area, where residual moisture may linger through the afternoon hours before being scoured out as ridging builds in. Current forecast PWATS across the region on Monday afternoon are progged to drop to around or just below 1.50", with northwestern portions of the area closer to 1.75". POPs generally illustrate this trend, with higher POPs across our AL, and western GA and FL counties (40%) and lower POPs to the southeast (20-30%). Beginning Tuesday, there is good model to model and run to run agreement among guidance in moisture gradually returning to the area, as a deep layer southwest flow regime resumes over the region. High temperatures will generally run in the low to mid 90s across the region with heat indices ranging from 99 to 105F. .LONG TERM [Tuesday Night Through Sunday]... There continues to be signals within the latest operational guidance in another shortwave trough skirting across the Ohio Valley and Mid- South, kicking the cut-off low and associated deep layer moisture eastward toward the latter part of the week. This is reflected in the POP grids from Wednesday onward, as increasing thunderstorm chances return to much of the area with values increasing to near climatology (50%) by the end of the week. Expect high temperatures to hold in the mid 90s, with heat indicies rising in response to the moisture increase to range from 102-107F. .MARINE... South to southwest winds generally 15 knots or less are expected with seas remaining at or below 2 feet. .FIRE WEATHER... No concerns. .HYDROLOGY... Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected through the period. Organized areas of heavy rain with this activity will be unlikely. Therefore, the risk of flooding or flash flooding will be low for the next several days. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
