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
Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 00:00Z, 2.5 hours before the alert went out and 201 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.

Key Messages:
1. Thunderstorm and severe weather chances this afternoon and
tonight.
2. Additional thunderstorm chances Saturday and Sunday.
3. Slightly cooler forecast than this past week.
4. Additional thunderstorm chances Tuesday through Thursday of
next week.
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 300 PM CDT Fri May 13 2022
Area of cumulus developing from Taney to Greene counties and up
towards the Lake of the Ozarks. This is the area latest WoFS
output is pinpointing for late afternoon convective initiation in
the 4 to 6 pm time frame. Have tried to highlight this with
increased area of pops in the mid to late afternoon. Looks like
there may be two distinct time frames for convection, with the
previously mentioned the first affecting areas of the eastern
Ozarks late this afternoon into the evening. The second develops
later in the evening and continues into the overnight hours over
the western CWA and across southern MO. Fairly weak shear out
there with surface based CAPES of 2000-4000 j/kg. Looking like
storm clusters with isolated hail to the size of quarters and wind
gusts up to 60 mph for the main strong/severe weather risk from
late afternoon into the late evening. The later evening convection
may still have a few strong cells, but the instability will be
weakening and shear doesn't appear change much. For flood
potential, widespread heavy rain and flooding is not expected over
the area, however if several thunderstorms can move across the
same area, a localized flood risk will be possible.
Lows tonight will remain mild in the low to mid 60s across the
area.
There may be some lingering convection around daybreak over
southern Missouri and the eastern Ozarks, however this should end
fairly quickly in the morning. We will see afternoon instability
increase over the area after clearing takes place behind any
remaining convection. Highs should top out in the low to mid 80s.
Not seeing any boundaries to focus convection on, but we will have
a chance of some isolated convection, but it should remain sub-
severe.
.LONG TERM...(Saturday Night through Friday)
Issued at 300 PM CDT Fri May 13 2022
An upper level shortwave will track across the upper Mississippi
valley region on Sunday with the upper flow over the area becoming
more northwesterly. This will aid a surface front in tracking
southeast into and through the area Sunday into Sunday night. The
atmosphere should become unstable out ahead of the cold front
which should start to move into our northern CWA during the
afternoon and through the remainder of the area during the
evening. 0-6km shear will be in the 30-40kt range with the
front/instability should be enough for some strong to severe
storms. Hail and wind will be the main severe weather risks. Like
with today's storms, a widespread flood risk is not likely, but
localized flooding may be realized if storms can track across the
same locations.
Behind this front, a drier air mass and cooler temperatures will
bring us the pick day of the week on Monday for any outdoor
activities. Highs generally in the mid to upper 70s with some
sunshine.
After the nice day Monday, flow becomes more zonal over the area
in a west-northwesterly configuration, bringing shortwave energy
into the area on a nearly daily basis through the end of the week.
This will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms each day
across the area. Temperatures may be influenced by convection each
day, however highs generally in the 80s with lows in the 50s/60s.
