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.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 19, 3:51 PM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
351 PM EDT Sun Jul 19 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
Hot and humid conditions will fuel thunderstorms ahead of a cold
front that slips south across the area overnight. The boundary
will stall in Kentucky on Monday keeping a chance of storms for
the region.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Upper air is characterized by an expansive ridge from the
southern Plains through the southeast with a band of westerlies
through the Great Lakes.
Hot and humid conditions have continued today with temperatures
in the lower and middle 90s. These hot temperatures combined
with high humidities have result in max heat index values of
100 to 105. A heat advisory continues for the area thru 8 pm.
Westerlies across the Great Lakes will drop a little south as a
shortwave passes thru the area. An associated surface cold
front will slip south into northern Ohio this evening. Strong
instability has develop ahead of the front this with SB CAPE
values of 3500-4000 J/KG. DCAPE values of 800 to 1000 J/KG will
support some strong to damaging winds. The best threat for these
winds will be early this evening across the northwest where
bulk shear is about 20 kts. Also, orientation of storms to 0-3km
shear axis becomes less favorable as storms lay out more east-
west...further south. Have continued likely pops early across
the north and then chance pops across the remainder of the area.
Mild temperatures overnight with lows of 70 to 75.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
The front to stall out near the Ohio River on Monday. Airmass to
destabilize with aftn SBCAPE values of 2500-3000 J/KG expected
along and south of the Ohio River. This instability will fuel
the development of storms in ILN/s southern counties. Shear will
be marginal with bulk shear near 20 kts. A few of the storms may
produce strong to damaging winds but since shear is marginal do
not expect much in the way of storm organization.
Highs will be a little cooler, ranging from the upper 80s to
lower 90s. Maximum heat indices will be in the upper 90s across
ILN/s southern FA, so will continue the mention in the HWO.
Diurnally driven storms expected to diminish in coverage and
intensity Monday evening, but the front will continue to be a
focus for a spotty shower or storm overnight. Mild temperatures
to continue Monday night with lows from the upper 60s north to
the lower 70s south.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A slow moving boundary developing along a westerly flow aloft will
be the focus for thunderstorm formation for the first few days of
the long term. The undulating boundary will be enhanced by pockets
of short wave energy, producing the likelihood for afternoon and
evening thunderstorms Tuesday through Thursday. The slow moving
nature of the boundary coupled with relatively weak winds aloft and
an airmass containing 1.6 to 1.8 inches PWAT may result in heavy
downpours, though flooding will be mitigated by moderate drought
conditions in place over parts of the area.
A vast bubble of high pressure in the upper atmosphere is forecast
to bring an end to widespread organized convection for Friday
through Sunday. Even under 500mb heights in excess of 5940 meters,
isolated to scattered thunderstorms may still occur in an unstable
airmass, especially on Sunday when a short wave rounding the upper
ridge could aid storm development.
Above normal geopotential heights through the period signal a
continuation of above normal temperatures. Highs are expected to be
in the upper 80s to lower 90s each day.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Thunderstorms will continue to develop ahead of a southward
advancing cold front this aftn in the strong instability axis.
Have a tempo period for thunderstorms across the northern TAF
sites late this aftn into the early evening. As the storms
push south into a less favorable environment expect the
intensity and coverage of storms to decrease. Therefore, have
limited mention of thunder to VCTS at KCVG and KLUK.
With pcpn ending by late evening...expect generally VFR
conditions thru the night into Monday. The exception is being
some brief MVFR vsby restriction in fog at KLUK valley location
toward sunrise.
On Monday, isolated to scattered convection will be possible
across the south as front lingers in the area. Have omitted any
mention of thunder due to limited coverage.
Southwest winds will gust up to 25 kts this afternoon and then
become west-nw at less than 10 kts overnight.
OUTLOOK...Thunderstorms possible at times Monday through
Thursday.
