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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 205 PM CDT THU MAY 8 2003 NUMEROUS FCST CONCERNS IN THE SHORT TERM...STEMMING AROUND SVR WEATHER THREATS AND HEAVY PCPN POSSIBILITIES. LOOKS LIKE ONE ROUND LATER TONIGHT THAT MAY BE MORE OF A HEAVY RAINER...WITH A MUCH MORE SERIOUS LOOKING SEVERE SITUATION LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LATEST SFC CHART SHOWING THE WARM FRONT HAS NOW PROGRESSED NWRD TO AROUND CHI...EXTENDING ACROSS N IN AND CNTRL OHIO. MAIN SFC LOW NOW OVER S-CNTRL MN WITH COLD FRONT DROPPING SWRD OVER IA AND NW MO. SFC DEWPOINTS HAVE SOARED INTO THE LOW 70S AND TEMPS INTO THE LOW AND MID 80S. SAT PICS SHOWING THAT THE CU FIELD HAS DEVELOPED TODAY AS EXPECTED...BUT WEAK CAP KEEPING THINGS AT BAY THUS FAR. MODELS LOOKS SIMILAR THE NEXT FEW DAYS SO NO REAL STRONG PREFERENCE. PER HPC DISCUSSIONS/CHAT ROOM...HEAVED LEANED AWAY FROM GFS SOLUTION OF UPPER LOW OVER PLAINS STATES WED/THU AND WENT WITH A SLIGHTLY MORE OPTIMISTIC ECMWF SOLUTION. SENSIBLE WEATHER...MODELS SHOWING VERY STRONG INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON OVER S IL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA...WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS AREA FOR SOME LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING CONVECTION..SOME OF WHICH COULD BE SEVERE. OVERALL THOUGH...EXPECT THE MAIN SHOW TONIGHT TO BE AFTER MIDNIGHT. LATEST MODEL RUNS HAVE ALSO SLOWED DOWN THE MCS LOOKING ACTIVITY ABOUT 3-6 HOURS ALSO. NOTED LATEST QPFERD GRAPHICS...WILL DEFINITELY MAKE MENTION OF HEAVY RAINS IN ZONES BUT WILL HOLD SHORT OF ISSUING A FFA. COULD ALSO BE SOME ISOLATED SEVERE TONIGHT (INITIALLY) ALSO. EXPECT SHRA/TSRA LIKELY IN THE MORNING TOMORROW. THEN LOOK FOR A CALM PERIOD MIDDAY-AFTERNOON AS THE ATMOSPHERE RECOVERS/RELOADS. SEVERE THREAT TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING LOOKS PRETTY SERIOUS AND AGREE WITH SPC MODERATE THREAT. OUR THINKING AT THIS TIME IS AFTER 21Z TOMORROW...POSSIBLY CLOSER TO 00Z AND LASTING UNTIL 06-07Z OR SO. MAY GO AHEAD AND MAKE MENTION OF SOME STORMS POSSIBLY SEVERE FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON ALTHOUGH DONT NORMALLY MENTION IT THAT FAR IN ADVANCE. WE WILL ALSO FRESHEN UP THE HWO PRODUCT AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. SUNDAY LOOKS MUCH CALMER...COOLER. CHC SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OR SO. HIGH TEMPS COME BACK DOWN INTO THE LOW-MID 60S. COOLER AND MUCH MORE STABLE WEATHER TO DOMINATE MOST OF NEXT WEEK. I KEPT MON-TUE PARTLY CLOUDY AND NO PCPN. DROPPED MENTION OF ALL POPS ON WED. HPC FEELING THAT THE GFS IS WAY OVERDOING THE CENTRAL-UPPER PLAINS LOW WED-THU AND ENSEMBLE MEANS DONT SUPPORT IT. LEANED MORE TOWARD THE ECMWF.
