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
Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 00:00Z, 7.1 hours before the alert went out and 215 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.

SchaumannWhat 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 Springfield, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jan 21, 11:37 PM CST, 1 hour 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 21, 11:37 PM CST, 1 hour 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 1137 PM CST Sun Jan 21 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 130 PM CST Sun Jan 21 2018 A deep closed upper low will track from the Rockies into the central Plains this evening while a surface low pressure system tracks from eastern Kansas into northern Missouri. A trailing surface trough then cold front will push across the Ozarks region this evening. Strong synoptic lift and moisture advection along with at least ample instability will ignite numerous showers and thunderstorms from late afternoon into tonight. While instability will be rather modest the shear profiles will be favorable to support intense updrafts and possibly supercells. Shear vectors will also support surging line segments and bowing structures. This all adds up to a risk of severe storms with the potential of damaging winds and possibly a couple of tornadoes. While a low risk the primary area of concern for tornadoes would be across far southern Missouri. The showers and storms will end from the west late this evening into the overnight hours. Expect some clearing overnight as a dry slot wraps around the upper low. The true cold front will sweep across the area early Monday as the upper low transitions eastward. This will bring steady or falling temperatures and increased cloud cover. Also expect showers mainly across central Missouri. Some potential that some snow will mix with the rain before ending. .LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday) Issued at 130 PM CST Sun Jan 21 2018 Colder temperatures settle back into the region through mid week before upper level ridging and southerly winds return by late week. The next upper trough and associated front will move into the region heading into later Friday and this weekend. This will bring another good chance for precipitation. Colder weather will again follow this system this weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1130 PM CST Sun Jan 21 2018 The storm system moving through the Ozarks this evening will make steady progression through 09z and exit east of the region. Storms were east of Joplin but will continue for an hour or two more for Springfield and Branson. This will keep MVFR ceilings and visibilities through 07z. As the storms shift east, Ceilings will improve to VFR through sunrise across the area. Cloud cover wrapping around the upper level low that is driving the current storms will bring a return of MVFR ceilings along with some rain showers though a few flakes of snow may mix in as surface temperatures fall to the freezing mark in the afternoon. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
