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

Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 00:00Z, 6.3 hours before the alert went out and 238 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 PADUCAH KY
230 PM CDT FRI APR 30 2004

.DISCUSSION...

NEAR TERM CONCERN IS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVING EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. MORNING RUC/ETA MODELS INDICATED DESTABILIZATION
AHEAD OF THE COMPLEX THIS AFTERNOON...SUPPORTIVE OF THE CONTINUED
SLOW GROWTH OBSERVED ON SATELLITE AND RADAR. MCD 514 FROM THE SPC
HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS MCS. LIMITED SHEAR /500 MB WINDS AROUND 30
KTS/ AND EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER SHOULD LIMIT SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL
TO JUST ISOLATED HAIL/WIND DMG. HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL IS ALSO A
CONCERN. RECEIVED A REPORT OF .7 INCH IN 30 MINUTES FROM VAN BUREN
MISSOURI IN CARTER COUNTY AT 19Z. THE STEADY MOVEMENT OF THIS
COMPLEX SHOULD MINIMIZE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY GIVEN
PAST SEVERAL DAYS OF EXCELLENT DRYING CONDITIONS.

SHORT TERM CONCERN FOR TONIGHT IS WHETHER ANOTHER MCS WILL OCCUR
OVERNIGHT. A SURFACE COLD FRONT WAS NEAR A LINE FROM KSGF TO KUIN
/QUINCY IL/ AT 18Z. THIS FRONT WILL REACH SOUTHEAST MISSOURI WELL
AFTER MIDNIGHT. THERE IS A LARGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ETA/GFS QPF FOR
LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...WITH THE GFS CRANKING OUT MUCH HEAVIER
PRECIP. THIS APPEARS DUE TO THE GFS SURFACE WAVE THAT MOVES
NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY EARLY SATURDAY.
CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE GFS IS TOO STRONG WITH THE LOW AND TOO
WET. OUR STORM TOTAL QPF FORECAST GRIDS FOR THIS EVENT WILL TOTAL 1
TO 1.5 INCHES...WHICH IS IN CLOSE AGREEMENT WITH HPC. ISOLATED
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN SE MISSOURI
AND SW ILLINOIS WHERE ONGOING MCS IS SATURATING THE GROUND. IF
ANOTHER MCS BECOMES MORE CERTAIN LATE TONIGHT...A FLOOD WATCH WILL
NEED TO BE CONSIDERED.

SATURDAY APPEARS TO BE A VERY WET DAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES SLOWLY
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER AROUND 18Z...AND TO KHOP AREA BY
00Z. HIGHEST POTENTIAL OF SURFACE BASED CONVECTION WILL BE SOUTH AND
EAST OF PAH...WHERE SOME DIURNAL HEATING WILL OCCUR PRIOR TO FRONTAL
PASSAGE. 500 MB WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE SOMEWHAT STRONGER /NEAR 50
KNOTS PER GFS MODEL/...SO THE POTENTIAL FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION
APPEARS HIGHER ON SATURDAY.

THE POST FRONTAL RAINFALL WILL LIKELY LINGER INTO THE EVENING HOURS
OVER WESTERN KENTUCKY SAT NIGHT...AND CLEARING WILL BE A SLOW
PROCESS. HOWEVER...SUNDAY SHOULD START OUT WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE
AS DRY NORTHERLY FLOW DEEPENS. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT OR TROUGH WILL
MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS SUNDAY. THESE SUBTLE
SECONDARY TROUGHS ARE SELDOM SHOWN WELL BY THE MODELS. REGARDLESS OF
THE SURFACE PATTERN...A WELL DEFINED 700 MB TROUGH /SHOWN BY ETA/
WILL LEAD TO PLENTY OF CLOUDS AND A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS. THE 700
MB TROUGH WILL EXIT THE FORECAST AREA BY 12Z MONDAY.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK APPEARS DRY WITH A WARMING TREND.
RELIED MAINLY ON ECMWF FOR THE EXTENDED FORECAST...PER HPC
DISCUSSIONS. HOWEVER...THE MORNING GFS SHOWED A WEAK COLD FRONT
MOVING SOUTH ACROSS ILLINOIS ON WEDNESDAY. EVEN IF GFS SOLUTION
TURNS OUT CORRECT...LIMITED MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ALONG THE
FRONT...COMBINED WITH A LACK OF UPPER SUPPORT...WOULD GREATLY LIMIT
PRECIP COVERAGE.

.DAY ONE...REMAINDER OF TONIGHT

THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE THUNDERSTORMS WILL REDEVELOP LATE
TONIGHT...BUT THEY SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER SATURDAY...MAINLY SOUTH OF
A LINE FROM DONIPHAN MISSOURI THROUGH CAPE GIRARDEAU...AND
EVANSVILLE INDIANA...TO PETERSBURG. THE MAIN HAZARDS WITH
ANY SEVERE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL...ALTHOUGH AN
ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

IN ADDITION...ANY THUNDERSTORM MAY PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND
LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE HEAVY RAINS FRIDAY
EVENING WHICH MAY RESULT IN A LOW THRESHOLD FOR RECEIVING ANY
ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINS.
