Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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
Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 00:00Z, 1.9 hours before the alert went out and 122 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, Jun 15, 8:21 PM EDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
821 PM EDT Sat Jun 15 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
An oscillating frontal boundary will provide a focus for
showers and thunderstorms into early next week. The chance for
additional rain lingers throughout next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
Convection moving across Indiana will continue across the
forecast area this evening. It appears that the severe threat
will extend for the next few hours into the western part of the
area before instability becomes too limited. In addition,
rainfall could be fairly substantial, so there is a flash flood
threat.
Even as this initial area moves off to the east after midnight,
there is a strong signal in higher resolution guidance that
there will be an east-west line of convection across the
southern part of the forecast area through the late night hours.
Will continue to monitor trends, but if this signal persists,
then the flash flood watch may have to be extended a bit further
south.
It will be a warm and muggy night with lows in the mid to upper
60s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
On Sunday, expect the showers and thunderstorms to develop
back across much of the fa as instability increases with the
heating of the day. Kept PoPs in the likely category.
Precipitation chances will linger into Sunday night.
Highs on Sunday will push into the upper 70s to lower 80s.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
An active weather pattern is expected to continue through the long
term time frame. Several systems will move into the region through
the week. This will keep precipitation chances in the forecast
everyday from Monday through Friday. Due to the several rounds of
showers and storms through the week, there will be the potential for
flooding concerns. Will mention flooding potential in the HWO. In
addition, there will also be a damaging with threat with some of
these storms. At this point given some uncertainty with the severe
potential, will only mention on Monday for now in the HWO.
There will be very little day to day variation with temperatures.
High temperatures will generally be in the middle 70s to lower 80s
through the week and Low temperatures are expected to be in the
60s.
&&
.AVIATION /23Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Showers and embedded thunderstorms will move across the
terminals during the early part of the TAF period. This will
bring periods of IFR conditions. Showers may then continue well
into the night across southern Ohio which may continue to affect
the Cincinnati terminals. North of there expect prevailing
ceilings to fall to MVFR with some potential to get as low as
IFR. It appears that an additional round of showers will move
through after 12Z. After this clears, ceilings will gradually
lift and eventually become VFR.
OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms will be possible through Thursday.
