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.

.SHORT TERM ...
(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 211 PM CDT Thu Jul 13 2023
Summary:
Thunderstorms may develop this afternoon and evening, bringing a
risk for very large (2"+ diameter) hail, wind gusts to 70 mph, and
flash flooding to the Panhandles. Tornadoes are unlikely, but a
stray tornado cannot be ruled out.
A risk for thunderstorms returns Friday with large hail, damaging
winds, and flash flooding possible if storms develop.
Details:
18z WV satellite continues to indicate the presence of an upper
ridge over S NM with west-northwesterly flow aloft over the central
Plains and the Panhandles on the poleward side of this feature. At
the surface, lee trough is evident from SE WY all the way to NE NM
with upslope easterly surface winds and mostly cloudy skies
predominant across the Panhandles. Morning shortwave has led to
persistent light showers with a few embedded thunderstorms in the
central and eastern Panhandles. Due to the upslope flow and
cloudiness, temperatures have generally risen below previous
expectations and dewpoints continue to run on the high side of
guidance, with values mainly in the low to mid 70s. Despite the
underachieving temperatures, have retained the Heat Advisory and
Excessive Heat Warning in deference to the high heat indices
resulting from the high dew points and the slowly clearing skies.
This afternoon into this evening, surface trough should shift
eastward to near the NM/TX border. As a shortwave arrives from the
west, a few thunderstorms may develop near this surface trough.
Primary uncertainty with regards to thunderstorm development is
available instability. With surface temperatures underachieving and
dewpoints overachieving, still think around 1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE
will be realized by this afternoon. While stronger westerlies aloft
look to remain to our north, 0-6km bulk shear values should still
approach 30 knots with higher values perhaps in the northern
Panhandles so, if convection develops, initial supercellular modes
are favored. Thus, despite warm temperatures aloft, very large (2"+
diameter) hail could occur in the northern Panhandles and smaller
but still severe hail (1"+ diameter) in the southern Panhandles.
Progged sfc-500m SRH suggests near-surface shear will be
insufficient for much of a tornado risk, but taking a closer look at
progged hodographs suggests we cannot completely rule out a stray
tornado. As for damaging winds, could still get some severe gusts,
but reduced surface dewpoint depressions suggest the risk for 80+
mph gusts is low. Given the relatively high amount of moisture
through the column and progged storm motions of around 15-25 mph,
localized flash flooding will also be a risk this afternoon into
tonight, particularly in the northeastern Panhandles where
antecedent rainfall is highest.
Friday, yet another late afternoon shortwave may lead to additional
thunderstorm development. With southerly surface winds expected,
overall shear may be a bit weaker compared to Thursday and the turn
away from decidedly upslope winds should mean a bit less
instability. Thus, while severe storms are still a possibility, top
end hail and wind risk look to be a bit lower compared to Thursday.
With slow storm motions favored once again, flash flooding will
remain a concern.

.LONG TERM ...
(Saturday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 211 PM CDT Thu Jul 13 2023
The expected synoptic pattern going into the extended period has
not changed much since the previous forecast package. Northwest
flow is expected to continue through the weekend with cooler
daytime temperatures in the 80s for Sat/Sun. Perturbations in the
northwest flow aloft are expected to create likely PoPs through
the overnight hours Saturday evening into Sunday morning. Severe
storms are not expected at this time. However, there is a concern
for possible flash flooding. Especially for any areas that get
plenty of rain tonight and tomorrow night. Monday the ridge builds
back in over the area, increasing temperatures back into the
upper 90s to lower triple digits and lowering overall rain
chances. Ripples in the ridge may still bring some isolated to
scattered showers/storms to portions of the combined Panhandles
next week.
A weak cold front is progged to move through the area early
Saturday bringing northerly winds, hence the cooler daytime highs.
The surface winds are then progged to shift to the east
overnight. These upsloping winds out of the east will bring in
quite a bit of moisture. PWAT values are progged to be around 1.5"
to 1.7". Forecast sounding do look very tropical in nature,
and despite some slightly faster storm motions expected, flash
flooding will be a concern. Especially, for any area that
receives some good rainfall with storms tonight or tomorrow night.
Going later in the day on Sunday, conditions should start to dry
out as the H5 ridge starts to build back east over much of the
Desert Southwest into the the Southern Rockies.
By Monday, the H5 high pressure is progged to be back over the
Four Corners Region with daytime highs across the FA getting back
into the 90s. Tue and Wed, much of the combined Panhandles is
expected to approach the triple digits with some areas like PDC
getting above 100 degrees F. Palo Duro Canyon may need heat
headlines once again, maybe even elsewhere if models are under
doing the Tds. However, models suggest a surface trough should
help keep the Td well into the 50s if not lower across the FA.
Much of next week as previously looked mainly dry. Most recent
runs have slowly added some PoPs to the northwestern half of the
FA for Wed night. Guidance does suggest a dirty ridge will help
spark off some thunderstorms. It is still too early to no for
sure. Thursday onward, is beyond Day 7. However, will say this,
guidance suggest maybe another shift in the high pressure to the
west with increasing precip chances and slightly cooler
temperatures with northwest flow just like today through
Saturday.
