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.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight)
Issued at 202 PM CDT Sun Apr 24 2022
Heavy rainfall has been a bit spotty so far today, with the most
significant amounts (1-2") noted across northern Le Flore county
east into the Fort Smith region. More widespread convection is
ongoing across north TX/far southern OK, and this activity will
spread into southeast OK/northwest AR during the late
afternoon/evening hours as a weak upper wave moves east-northeast
through the region. Could see a few severe thunderstorms across
parts of far southeast OK south of the cold front where the
highest instability will be located, with large hail and damaging
winds being the main threat. The main threat, however, will
continue to be areas of heavy rainfall mainly along and just north
of the front where a plume of 1.5" PWATs will be situated.
Training of storms and very efficient rainfall rates will result
in areas of 2-4" rainfall amounts, with locally higher totals
likely.
Plan on leaving the Flood Watch as is at this time, although the
northern edge of the watch will likely need to be cancelled before
the 12Z expiration.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Sunday)
Issued at 202 PM CDT Sun Apr 24 2022
The cold front will exit the forecast area late tonight, with
post-frontal precipitation tapering off Monday morning across far
southeast OK. Drier and cooler weather will prevail for a couple
of days as surface ridging (and lighter winds) settle across the
area. Tuesday morning still looking to be the coldest, with some
mid 30s and patchy frost possible for a few spots across northeast
OK/northwest AR.
Warmer weather returns for latter in the week, with low chances
of showers/storms in the active westerly flow. A stronger upper
low and associated cold front may impact the region late Friday
into Saturday along with slightly higher rain chances.
&&
.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 617 PM CDT Sun Apr 24 2022
Ongoing corridor of widespread rains and scattered storms will
continue to impact SE OK and NW AR terminals into the early
morning hours. NE OK sites remain on the periphery of flight
impacts and trend should be toward continued improvement. The
heaviest rains and lower ceilings gradually focus southeastward
overnight and VFR conditions are expected for all sites soon after
sunrise.

AREA...Southeast of I-44. ONSET...Ongoing. DISCUSSION... Shower and thunderstorm coverage will continue to increase through the evening near and southeast of I-44. Heavy rainfall ans flooding will become an increasing concern, with widespread rain amounts of 2 to 4 inches, and isolated amounts around 6 inches possible. Both flash flooding and flooding of mainstem rivers will be possible. One or two storms south of a cold front located from northwest Arkansas into far southeast Oklahoma could become marginally severe this evening, with a limited threat of hail and damaging winds. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Local Spotter Activation May Be Needed. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday. MONDAY and TUESDAY...No Hazards. WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Very High Fire Weather Potential...High Wind Potential. THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Very High Fire Weather Potential...High Wind Potential. SATURDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Monday morning in parts of southeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas, with activity expected to end by Monday evening. The threat for heavy rain and additional flooding will end by sunrise Monday, however. Below normal temperatures and a brief period of dry weather is expected in the wake of the cold front. A few favored locations in northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas may see frost Tuesday morning. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase again from Wednesday night and persist into the next weekend due to a return to southerly winds and a favorable upper level flow pattern. With gusty south winds prevailing, there may be an uptick in the fire weather concerns to the northwest of Tulsa late this week, depending on how fuels respond to the current rains. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
