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.
The nearest sounding before it
Norman, OK (KOUN), launched 00:00Z, 1.0 hours before the alert went out and 136 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.

MAHALEWhat 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 Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 8, 6:48 PM CDT, 1 hour 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 6:48 PM CDT, 1 hour 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 648 PM CDT Sat Jul 8 2017 .DISCUSSION... && .AVIATION... Scattered rain and thunderstorms over the southern half of Oklahoma will dissipate before midnight. South winds and VFR conditions are expected apart from thunderstorms. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 240 PM CDT Sat Jul 8 2017/ DISCUSSION... A MCV continues to produce elevated showers NW of OKC this afternoon. Looking at visible imagery and surface observations, it appears this feature will interact with a remnant boundary near the I40 corridor through early this evening. A few of the storms could become severe before sunset (mainly wind threat) near and south of OKC where heating hasn't been as inhibited by cirrostratus. Most of this activity should wane as it moves SE after dark. Additional chances will return late tonight through early Sunday morning, mainly over southern OK, as a weak mid level shortwave trough progresses southward. Isolated, diurnal development will then be possible along and south of I40 during the afternoon and evening Sunday. Rain chances will likely drop significantly by Mon as heights increase with an expanding upper ridge from the west. A few showers and storms may be possible on its southern/SE periphery Tue as a mid to upper trough slides westward over central TX. Otherwise, expect a drying trend with regards to precip through most of the week as the upper ridge expands over the central CONUS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
