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.

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 1031 AM CST Wed Dec 14 2022
The initial cold front has stalled near a Natchez to Vicksburg to
Greenwood line and current radar imagery still showed showers and
thunderstorms east of this stalled front. Mid morning water vapor
imagery/RAP analysis showed a potent shortwave trough moving over
east Texas that will swing across our region this afternoon and
evening. This will help develop a surface low to our southwest
that will ride northeast along the stalled boundary and help
develop additional severe thunderstorms across the southeast
portions of our CWA. Although severe storms will be possible
generally along and southeast of the Natchez Trace, the greatest
potential and most intense storms are expected across our
southeast. Environmental parameters across our southeast will
remain favorable for the development of tornadoes; some may be
strong, damaging wind gusts to 70 mph, and hail to the size of
golf balls. SPC has upgraded our southeast with a "Moderate (4/5)"
in the latest day one outlook. In addition, heavy rainfall will
remain a concern again generally along and southeast of the
Natchez Trace where several additional inches of rain in a short
amount will lead to flash flooding and minor river flooding. /22/
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 159 AM CST Wed Dec 14 2022
Today and tonight...Will not be making any big changes to the
short term forecast at this point. Current forecast was on track.
Severe storms continue to develop along the boundary draped from
near Greenwood to Yazoo City down to Jonesville. Models show a
wave developing over the northern Gulf later today, helping to
push the boundary out of the area. At this time storm activity
seems to be slightly further east than expected with thunderstorms
moving into the metro area. Air was a little more stable to
the northeast, so there has been less thunderstorm development.
The best moisture and instability remain generally south of I-20.
Cells continue to develop over the southeast where dewpoints were
in the lower 70s. Still looks like a pretty active day.
Guidance continues to suggest that the system will slow down
supporting the flash flood risk. Rainfall has been really
efficient, where really good rates were likely causing localized
flooding. Drier air was moving into the Delta and rain was
thinning from the north and west. Stuck with guidance for pops and
temps. Clouds and rain should keep values relatively steady for
today.
Thursday through next Tuesday...
Forecast remains somewhat on track for the most part for the long
term period as we head into Thursday. Model guidance highlight a
large closed low spinning over Iowa. As low shifts east towards the
Great Lakes, broad upper troughing should continue to prevail across
our CWA heading into Friday. This in turn, should bring a
drier/colder airmass which should allow for drier weather to
dominate our forecast for the next several days.
With this aforementioned cold front, afternoon temperatures should
peak into the 50s with a few areas along and north of the Hwy 82
corridor to dip into the upper 40s. Heading into the weekend, model
guidance indicate another shortwave trough approaching our forecast
area by early Saturday morning. In response to this, another cold
front should drive across the region. Areas across the region could
see morning lows dip into the 30s. The coldest night looks to be
Saturday with overnight lows ranging in the upper 20s to low 30s.
Models are in disagreement with each other in regards to possible
rain showers on Saturday evening. By Sunday, a high pressure system
should being to move across the area. As the system begins to track
east by Sunday evening, return flow should begin to across our CWA.
Rain chances should return on Monday and Tuesday with afternoon
highs in the upper 50s. /CRJ/
