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
Midland Regional, TX (KMAF), launched 12:00Z, 11.5 hours before the alert went out and 94 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
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
218 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2019
.DISCUSSION...
Upper ridge remains over the area but a trough moving off the West
Coast will cross the Rockies and move onto the plains Friday. As
the lead portion of this trough moves east models redevelop the
backside into a trough over the Rockies this weekend. This next
trough will swing east Monday.
Temps are noticeably warmer today and have climbed into the 80s.
Readings will be even warmer on friday with 90s along the Pecos and
and pushing 100 along portions of the Rio Grande. A cold front
blows through Saturday knocking temps down well below normal... have
increased wind speeds with Fropa should be pretty gusty. Highs
Saturday will be in the 60s for most of the area with 70s south and
on Sunday widespread 50s expected. These temps expected to slowly
recovery Monday and Tuesday with 80s expected again by next
Wednesday.
The dryline has set up today up across the western portion of the
area as of 19z and is expected to set up Friday along the eastern
edge of the CWA. Have had some storms fire up over the Davis Mtns
so extended low pops into the evening. Storms tomorrow should be
east of the area. Eta does develop some precip along the front
Saturday so went ahead and threw in some showers along and south of
the Pecos.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A warming and drying trend will continue into Friday. Min RHs below
10 percent will be common for areas west of a Seminole to Midland to
Rankin line as afternoon temperatures warm into the upper 80s to
near 90. 20 foot winds will generally remain around 10-15 mph for
most areas however higher wind speeds look likely for the Guadalupe
Mountains, perhaps around 20-25 mph. ERCs remain below normal for
this areas but given the critical weather conditions, think at least
marginally critical fire weather conditions will be had. Initial
attack fires look to be the main concern through the afternoon
hours. Elevated fire weather conditions can be expected across the
southern New Mexico plains. A Fire Weather Watch will remain in
effect for the Guadalupe Mountains Friday afternoon and evening.
Overnight RH recovery tonight will range from poor in and near the
mountains to excellent across the Permian Basin and Lower Trans
Pecos. A cold front will move through early Saturday morning with
much improved RHs in its wake.
