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
Davenport, (KDVN), launched 12:00Z, 11.4 hours before the alert went out and 93 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.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 3:00 PM CDT, 3 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 300 PM CDT Thu Aug 10 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 259 PM CDT Thu Aug 10 2017 18Z surface data has a cold front running from central Wisconsin into far northern Kansas. Dew points were in the 60s ahead of the front with 50s behind the front. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday) ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT Thu Aug 10 2017 The cold front will sweep through the area this evening. Showers and thunderstorms will be seen along and ahead of the front through sunset. After sunset, convection will quickly dissipate with all but the far south clear of precipitation by midnight. After midnight, any lingering showers in the far south will dissipate with the entire area dry by sunrise Friday. On Friday, dry conditions will be seen across the area as high pressure builds into the area. Wrap around clouds from the departing storm system are expected to persist through the morning north of highway 30 before clearing occurs during the afternoon. Temperatures tonight and Friday will average a little below normal. .LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday) ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT Thu Aug 10 2017 Friday and Saturday Sfc high pressure will overspread the Upper Midwest behind the departing sfc low and cold front. Slightly below average temps in the upper 70s to lower 80s for highs and 50s for lows are expected. Humidity will be very comfortable with dewpoints also in the 50s. Sunday Chance for showers (20-30%) across the south on Sunday. SE low-level flow in the sfc-850mb layer will increase moisture transport and isentropic lift across northern Missouri and southern Iowa into west- central Illinois. The NAM/GFS have showers as early as the afternoon lasting into Sunday night, while the ECMWF is dry until the evening. Overall, forcing appears weak and instability will be low, so left thunder out of the forecast. Monday and Tuesday Beautiful August weather continues. Another sfc high is forecast to slowly slide through the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes through early next week. Model blend has highs near 80 F Monday then lower to middle 80s by Tuesday (warmest southwest CWA). Wednesday and Thursday Approaching shortwave trough warrants shower chances mid to late week. As low-level moisture increases, chances for thunderstorms will return as well. Synoptically this does not look like a strong system, which means the threat for widespread significant rain through Thursday is very low. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon) ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT Thu Aug 10 2017 Cold front to move through eastern Iowa and northern Illinois through 03z/11. TSRA are expected to develop along and ahead of the front with the potential for a period of MVFR/IFR conditions. Outside of the SHRA/TSRA expect VFR conditions. After 06z/11 there is a potential for MVFR cigs to move into eastern Iowa and possibly northern Illinois in the wrap around clouds from the departing storm system. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
