Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 2.5 hours before the alert went out and 87 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.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 702 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 ...New UPDATE... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 653 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 - Unsettled weather over the weekend with multiple rounds of thunderstorms. Highest chances will be this evening into the overnight hours, and again Sunday late morning into the afternoon. - Low to medium chance for strong storms through the weekend, strong wind gusts will be the main concern along with heavy rain. - A break in the showers and storms will start the work week, but the active and wet pattern will return for the second half of the week with additional showers and thunderstorms. && .UPDATE... Issued at 653 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 Storms continue to push into Middle Tennessee, with some strong to severe producing damaging winds. Focus area is along and west of I-65, but areas east could also see activity this evening. Storm chances will persist over the next 24 hours or so before a frontal boundary pushes to the south for a couple of days, ushering in cooler and drier air. Temps in the upper 70s to low 80s with 50s dewpoints is always welcome in mid-June. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Sunday) Issued at 1054 AM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 CAMs continue to struggle on timing of showers and thunderstorms through the weekend, but they all agree that a cluster of stronger thunderstorms will impact the mid state this evening into the overnight hours, and a lower chance Sunday afternoon. Largely zonal pattern aloft is keeping more widespread chances for storms at bay, but subtle shortwaves are what's driving the increased chances late this afternoon through Sunday. The first wave will race eastward from MO into the OH valley, and right now CAM consensus is mid evening arrival of a cluster of stronger storms with damaging winds and heavy rainfall as the main threats. Low confidence on how far east the storms will make it, but enough instability is in place to carry them at least past I-65, but all CAMs seem to want to weaken the storms as they approach the Plateau. There may be a lull in activity Sunday morning before daytime heating and the next shortwave can kick off additional showers and storms mid day through the afternoon Sunday. Damaging winds and heavy rainfall would remain the threats, and higher PWAT values will allow for flooding potential, especially in areas that see multiple rounds of rain. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday Night through next Saturday) Issued at 1054 AM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 A break in the showers and storms will start the work week as most models have showers and storms to our north and south with a broad trough overhead. But, shortwaves embedded within the upper flow will dig the trough further south, and allow for storms to return starting Wednesday afternoon. The active pattern will continue, with even low chances for more strong to severe storms Wednesday and Thursday. Still too early to call on timing or intensity but this active pattern will continue regardless. There could be another break in widespread showers and storms Friday and Saturday, with mainly just a diurnal threat for storms, but long term models continue to show high amounts of QPF, suggesting that the overall wet pattern will persist into the last week of June. Staying in this zonal/broad trough pattern with embedded shortwaves will keep showers and storms in the forecast. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 546 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 Radar trends indicate TSRA will impact CKV and more so for BNA and MQY early in the TAF period. Some storms have prompted warnings for wind and hail, but at the least expect frequent lightning. After this round moves through expect additional convection during the overnight and early morning hours, with storms possible into the 18Z to 00Z time frame. Around 00Z for BNA winds will shift to the northwest, improving VIS and low CIGS but more importantly no storm activity as of right now. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
