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.

JonesWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Topeka, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Apr 20, 12:38 AM CDT, 1 hour 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 20, 12:38 AM CDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Topeka KS 1238 AM CDT Thu Apr 20 2023 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 256 PM CDT Wed Apr 19 2023 Forecast Highlights: -Two rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms are likely to impact portions of the area this evening and tonight. -Elevated fire danger conditions will again be in place late this week and this weekend. -Freezing temperatures remain in the forecast this weekend. Record lows are possible. Forecast Discussion: We are anticipating two rounds of impactful weather this evening and tonight. At 19Z (2 PM CDT), a deep upper low was spinning over far eastern Montana with a shortwave trough noted on its southern periphery over the Colorado Rockies. Surface analysis shows low pressure stretched across central Kansas with a dryline extending southward into Oklahoma and Texas. Strong southerly flow has brought dew points up to around 60 degrees across eastern Kansas. Mesoanalysis shows between 1500 and 2500 J/kg of MLCAPE with a cap still in place, confirmed by a special 20Z sounding launched from Topeka. The first round of storms is expected to impact portions of northern Kansas this evening. Convective initiation could begin as early as 23Z north of I-70 with better forcing near the low. CAMs show a few supercell storms developing within an environment consisting of nearly 3000 J/kg of MLCAPE and about 30 kts of effective bulk wind shear. Wind shear will increase as a strong LLJ develops into tonight. Storms in this environment will be capable of very large hail and damaging wind gusts. There appears to be a brief window early on when a few tornadoes could occur as shear increases, before SBCIN increases too rapidly. These storms will move northeast into Nebraska late this evening. The second round of storms is then expected to develop around midnight in northern and north-central KS as the aforementioned shortwave trough moves over central Nebraska. Convective mode could be less organized and more linear, with CAMs showing more of a widespread cluster of storms moving eastward through the CWA overnight. A 65+ kt LLJ will keep low level shear parameters sufficient for large hail and damaging wind gusts. Rainfall amounts could exceed 1.0 inch in far northeast KS - the area most likely to be affected by both rounds. Strong winds ahead of and behind a cold front tonight have also prompted the need for a Wind Advisory, which has been extended and expanded. Strong winds outside of thunderstorms could gust to 50 mph, finally relaxing by tomorrow morning as winds shift to the northwest behind the boundary. Beyond today's system, elevated fire danger will return in central KS tomorrow through Saturday. That area is less likely to see significant rainfall tonight and will experience low afternoon humidities and continued breezy winds through the start of the weekend. Much cooler weather is then in store this weekend. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will range from the 50s on Saturday to around 60 degrees on Sunday. Record low temperatures are forecast Sunday morning with lows in the upper 20s to near 30 degrees. A freeze warning is looking likely at that time. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) Issued at 1238 AM CDT Thu Apr 20 2023 Additional showers and storms are expected to impact terminals overnight with reduced visibility and MVFR cigs accompanying storms. Uncertainty remains in how strong these storms will as they progress eastward with KMHK having the best chance at seeing strong wind gusts as the line moves through. Winds shift to the west-northwest behind the front with VFR conditions returning after sunrise. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Advisory until 7 AM CDT this morning for KSZ026-035>040- 054>056-058-059. && DISCUSSION...Teefey AVIATION...Flanagan
