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.

ALONG IL/WI BORDER. WILL LIKELY SEE STORMS ACROSS LWR MI/ONTARIO
EVENTUALLY MERGE TOGETHER AHEAD OF WAVE AND CDFNT. MUST BE SOME
CAPPING SUBSIDENCE OCCURRING BETWEEN EXITING SHORTWAVE FROM THIS
MORNING AND APPROACHING SHORT WAVE AS CUMULUS ACROSS NE OH/NW PA
RATHER MODERATE AT THE MOMENT. INSTABILITY IMPRESSIVE ACROSS NW OH
WITH LI ABOUT -8 AND DEWPOINTS POOLING AHEAD OF TROUGH. THINK LINE
OF STORMS WILL EXPAND SOUTH OF LAKE ERIE AND MOVE SE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING TOWARD FDY MARION AND MFD. UNSURE HOW MUCH THE
STORMS WILL HOLD TOGETHER AS THEY CROSS THE MARINE LAYER OVER LAKE
ERIE AND STP SAYS ADDITIONAL BOX MAY BE NEEDED EAST OF 510. WILL USE
LEFTOVER WEATHER AND EARLY TONIGHT PHRASING IN FCST FOR ALL ZONES
AND WILL LIKELY CALL IT SCATTERED/CHANCE UNLESS LINE OF STORMS IS
SOLIDIFYING BFR GOING TO PRESS. AIRMASS BEHIND CDFNT IS COOLER AND
DRIER AND WILL BE ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE NEAR LAKE ERIE. WITH FLATTER
RIDGE AND SHORT WAVES TRAVELING ACROSS THE NOTHERN STATES IT WILL
TIME FOR STORM COMPLEX SEASON TO RESUME. FIRST COMPLEX WILL COME
QUICKLY OVER UPPER MIDWEST TOMORROW AND NW OHO WILL LIKELY SEE SOME
HIGH CLOUDS FROM THE SYSTEM BY LATE AFTERNOON. STORMS WILL LIKELY
SHIFT FARTHER EAST BY WEDNESDAY AND WILL INCLUDE CHANCE POPS AS
EARLY AS TUE NGT NW OHIO AND MOST OF FCST AREA WEDNESDAY ALTHOUGH
STORMS MAY MISS EXTREME NE OH/NW PA.

GFS TEMP GUIDANCE MAY BE A CATEGORY TOO WARM WEDNESDAY IF WE HAVE
CLOUDS BUT HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL BEGIN WORKING BACK NE.

.LONG TERM (THU THRU MON)...
STILL THE SAME ISSUES FACING THE EXTENDED FCST. A RELATIVELY FAST
AND MORE ZONAL FLOW WITH EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES EVOLVING INTO MORE OF
A TROUGH ALOFT OVER THE WEEKEND. SHOULD BE PLENTY OF HEAT AND
HUMIDITY DURING THE MID AND LATE WEEK FOR A THREAT OF SHOWERS/STORMS
ALTHOUGH DIFFICULT AT THIS POINT TO PIN DOWN A SPECIFIC FAVORED
TIME/DAY OR AREA. COULD EVEN BE ACTIVITY AT NIGHT WITH FLAT RIDGE
JUST TO THE SOUTH AND STRONG BAROCLINC ZONE NEARBY. SHOWERS/STORMS
WILL BE NEAR THE AREA ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WILL
CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS PRETTY MUCH EVEYWHERE INTO THE WEEKEND.
STILL FEEL THAT WE HAVE A SHOT AT SOME POTENTIALLY DRY WEATHER BY
THE WEEKEND HOPING THAT THE BOUNDARY GETS SURPRESSSED SOUTH ALTHOUGH
SOME MODELS STILL KEEP CONVECTION ACROSS LOWER GREAT LAKES, THIS IS
CERTAINLY POSSIBLE AS AIRMASS WILL BE SHALLOW ENOUGH TO BE OVERUN BY
ELEVATED CONVECTION. LATEST GFS AND ECMWF DEVELOP A FULL BLOW
SURFACE WAVE TO OUR EAST ON SUNDAY AND FEEL THIS MAY BE A BIT
OVERDONE. WILL INCLUDE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR OUR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
COUNTIES OVER THE WEEKEND AND SEE IF A TREND DEVELOPS DURING THE
WEEK SO THAT WE CAN ADJUST FCST FARTHER NORTH OR SOUTH.

TEMPS WARM THRU THURSDAY...NEAR GFS/NCEP EXTENDED TEMP GUIDANCE.
COOLER ON FRIDAY ALTHOUGH NOT AS COOL AS GUIDANCE. WITH NORTHERLY
FLOW OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL FCST TEMPS BELOW
