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

N. Platte/Lee Bi, NE (KLBF), launched 12:00Z, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 252 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.

...updated discussion...

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
Issued at 147 PM CDT Sun Jun 23 2019

There is enough CAPE and effective shear this afternoon to support
isolated marginally severe storms. The two areas in focus will be
across the northern zones as activity moves out of NW Kansas. The
second area will be across the Panhandles. Most likely this second
area activity will remain south of the FA. LHP forecast values
from the NMMB and ARW support up to 1.5" hail. Some outflow winds
of 50 to 60 mph will also be possible. Otherwise, 95 percent of
the FA will miss the isolated storms and see dry conditions
tonight with relatively mild overnight lows.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
Issued at 147 PM CDT Sun Jun 23 2019

The EC continues to show mid level ridging during the extended
period with warmer temperatures and generally dry conditions.
