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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
230 PM EST FRI MAY 14 2004

.DISCUSSION...MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM IS THE CHANCE OF RAIN ON MONDAY.
TODAY HIGH PRESSURE IS OVER THE GREAT LAKES WITH MOIST AND UNSTALBE
AIR REMAINING OVER MUCH OF INDIANA. SATELLITE PICS HAVE CLEARING
AREA OVER THE EXTREME NW CORNER. GUIDANCE WAS POOR YESTERDAY WITH
THE CLEARING. ALL MODELS HAD CLEARING EARLY IN THE EVENING. THEY
WANT TO PUSH CLEARING BY SUNRISE. THE SATELLITE PICS ARE NOT SHOWING
MUCH SE MOVEMENT OF THE CLEARING JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE GUIDANCE
HAS SCT. WILL HOLD OFF BREAKING UP THE CLOUDS IN THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTH UNTIL AFTERNOON. EVEN THEN SC MAY DEVELOPE SO WILL JUST GO
PARTLY CLOUDY. WITH THE MORE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER WILL DROP TEMPS
TO NEAR THE LOWER FWC VALUES.

THE CROSS SECTIONS SHOW HIER CLOUDS MOVING INTO AREA AHEAD OF NEXT
S/W TONIGHT. SO EVEN IF WE LOOSE THE LOW CLOUDS IT WILL STILL BE
PARTLY CLOUDY. WILL HOLD TEMPS UP SOME DUE TO THE CLOUDS.

ON MONDAY A S/W MOVES THRU AREA AS MOISTUE BACKS INTO AREA FROM THE
EAST. WILL BRING IN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON AND HOLD
TEMPS A LITTLE LOWER.
