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.

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 5, 5:02 AM CDT, 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 5:02 AM CDT, 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 502 AM CDT SUN JUN 5 2005 .DISCUSSION...VERY FEW SPORADIC RETURNS LEFT IN CWA ON RADAR. HOWEVER...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ALREADY EAST OF I-55 FROM THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. STILL A GOOD AMOUNT OF LIGHTNING NW OF STL MOVING TO THE NE. ANOTHER BATCH OF STORMS MOVING OUT OVER LAKE MICHIGAN. FORECAST CONCERNS ARE THE PRECIP IN THE MORNING...AND WHERE CONVECTION WILL RESTART THIS AFTERNOON...IF ANYWHERE. SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT...MAIN UPPER LEVEL LOW STILL OUT OVER THE NRN PLAINS...AND ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WEAKENING AS IT STRETCHES OUT A BIT TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF FA. DPTS SHOULD REBOUND NICELY ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE CONVECTION TODAY. CLOUDS AROUND WHATS LEFT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY DISSIPATING. THINK THAT THE DAY WILL BE ABLE TO WARM UP A BIT...THOUGH VERY LITTLE HEATING WILL BE NECESSARY TO BREAK THROUGH ANY INVERSION THAT SETS UP THIS MORNING. AS A RESULT...WINDS SHOULD MIX DOWN FROM MIDLEVELS WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KTS THIS AFTERNOON. H85 TEMPS AROUND 20C+ WILL MAKE THE 90S POSSIBLE AGAIN TODAY. HOWEVER...REMNANTS OF THE SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...OR ANY REMAINS OF AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL BE NECESSARY TO PROVIDE SOME FORCING FOR THE THUNDERSTORMS TO REFIRE THIS AFTERNOON. THE 4KM WRF KEPT ILX CWA DRY THROUGH 22Z AT TIME OF ZONE ISSUANCE...THOUGH SWODY1 ALSO MENTIONS THE LOW LEVEL CONFLUENCE ALONG AN AXIS THAT SWEEPS THROUGH THE ERN PORTIONS OF THE FA. KEPT CHANCES IN FOR THE AFTERNOON...NOT ONLY FOR THE FACT THAT WE REMAIN IN A SLIGHT RISK...BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY INGREDIENTS IN PLACE TO RULE IT OUT...AND FOR ISC PURPOSES AS WELL. LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE ERN CONUS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THE LONG TERM. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES AS THE CWA SITS RIGHT ON THE BORDER BETWEEN LIGHT FLOW ALOFT UNDER THE RIDGE...AND THE AREA WHERE SHORTWAVES THREATEN OFF AND ON THUNDERSTORMS. AS A RESULT...LEFT THE ONGOING 30 POP IN THE EXTENDED AS TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN MAKES MORE DETAIL IN THE LONG TERM PROBLEMATIC. THAT BEING SAID...THINK THE TEMPERATURES ARE UNDERDONE...AND WILL CONTINUE THE TREND TO BRING THEM UP. MOS HAS BEEN GOING UP WITH EACH ISSUANCE...AND HAS BEEN UNDERCUTTING THE TEMPS AS WELL. CLIMATOLOGY HAS TEMPS NEAR 80...BUT WITH SUCH WARM AIR ALOFT...PLENTY OF SUNSHINE...AND SSW FLOW HOLDING CONTROL...THINK THE MOS IS BEING PULLED DOWN IN A BIG WAY BY THE CLIMO 80. WILL CONTINUE TO WARM THE GRIDS AS FORECAST SHOULD BE WARMER FOR A WHILE. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. HJS
