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.
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
Davenport, (KDVN), launched 12:00Z, 11.3 hours before the alert went out and 98 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.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 29, 3:00 PM CDT, 3 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 3:00 PM CDT, 3 hours 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 300 PM CDT WED JUN 29 2005 .DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY... DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTH DAKOTA HAS A COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA AND A WARM FRONT SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS INTO CENTRAL INDIANA. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE INCREASING ALONG AND TO THE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT OVER THE EXTREME NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE CONVERGENCE IS STRONGEST AND THE CAP IS WEAKEST. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING...AND EVEN A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTHWARD AND WESTWARD IF ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES CAN HOLD TOGETHER. IN THE MEANTIME...WARMER TEMPERATURES ALOFT OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS ARE KEEPING THE LID ON ANY DEEP MOIST CONVECTION. WATER VAPOR LOOPS DO SHOW THAT SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY IS COMING EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN IOWA...AND THIS MAY AID DEVELOPMENT ESPECIALLY LATER TONIGHT. THE NORTHWESTERN ZONES WILL ALSO HAVE A BETTER CHANCE FOR STORMS LATE TONIGHT AS THE TAIL END OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS MCS APPROACHES AFTER MIDNIGHT. BOTTOM LINE...WILL HAVE CHANCE POPS IN THE NORTHWEST AND NORTHEAST THIS EVENING WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE. AFTER MIDNIGHT...WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS EVERYWHERE BUT THE SOUTHEAST. SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE IN A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF THE PLAINS COLD FRONT AS IT PUSHES INTO ILLINOIS ON THURSDAY. BY PEAK HEATING TIME...THE FRONT SHOULD BE NEAR THE ILLINOIS RIVER SO THE BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL BE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. TOYED WITH THE IDEA OF GOING LIKELY POPS THURSDAY AFTERNOON... BUT WILL KEEP THEM IN THE 40PCT RANGE BASED MAINLY ON THE EXPECTED AREAL COVERAGE. AS THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING...MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD COME TO AN END TOWARD MIDNIGHT. THE GFS IS PRODUCING QUITE A BIT OF CONVECTION NORTH OF THE FRONT OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT THIS MAY BE OVERDONE. NEVERTHELESS...WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING ALL NIGHT IN THE SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES. DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL THEN FINALLY FILTER INTO ILLINOIS FOR FRIDAY. LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IN THE LONGER TERM IS WITH THE NEXT NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE THAT IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE GREAT LAKES EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE GFS WANTS TO TAKE THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT COMPLETELY THROUGH THE AREA ON TUESDAY... HOWEVER THE EUROPEAN MODELS AND HPC MANUAL PROGS STALL THE FRONT OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS AS THE SHORTWAVE EXITS THE AREA. THIS SEEMS LIKE THE MOST PROBABLE SCENERIO...SO WILL INTRODUCE SOME SILENT 20 POPS IN THE NORTHWEST MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT FOR ANY MCS THAT MAY MOVE IN FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS. WILL ALSO PUT IN SOME 20 POPS OVER THE NORTH AND CENTRAL ON TUESDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR A POSSIBLE STRONGER COLD FRONT. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. 04
