What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Mar 13, 12:35 AM CST	HAIL 0.75	Spring Bay, IL

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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 Mar 12, 10:00 PM CST, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 12, 10:00 PM CST, 1 hour 38 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
10 PM CST SUN MAR 12 2006

.DISCUSSION...
TORNADIC SUPERCELL CONTINUES TO TRACK EAST DEWITT COUNTY HEADING FOR
CHAMPAIGN AND VERMILION COUNTIES. SUPERCELL TRACKING JUST SOUTH OF
WARM FRONT...WHICH AT 900 PM WAS LOCATED FROM JUST SOUTH OF GALESBURG
TO CHILLICOTHE. WL MAKE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO CURRENT GRID SET WITH
LAST TOR WATCH (#77) UPDATE SENT ABOUT AN HOUR AGO. WILL EXTEND THE
FLOOD WATCH ACRS THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES UNTIL NOON ON MONDAY AS SYSTEM
CONTINUES A SLOW EWD MARCH WITH STILL QUITE A BIT OF RAINFALL TO GET
THRU.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
MAIN CONCERN IS SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT. A MAJOR AIRMASS CHANGE
IS COMING AFTER MONDAY/S COLD FRONT.

AT 21Z...THE 998 MB SURFACE LOW WAS JUST ENTERING W KANSAS...WHILE
THE WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST OF THE LOW REACHED ACROSS C MISSOURI
INTO C ILLINOIS. THE FRONT PLACEMENT WAS FROM JUST N OF ST LOUIS TO
JUST SOUTH OF SPRINGFIELD IL... TO JUST NORTH OF CHAMPAIGN IL. THE
FRONT HAS BECOME ALMOST STATIONARY OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS.

SHORT TERM....TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...
HIGH RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS IN PLACE FOR DAY ONE ACROSS
THE WESTERN HALF OF OUR CWA. BASICALLY WEST OF A LINE FROM CHAMPAIGN
COUNTY TO SHELBY COUNTY. THE EAST OF THERE IS IN A MODERATE RISK.
THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BEING THE THREAT FOR LONG TRACK F2 TO F5
TORNADOES WILL BE IN THE HIGH RISK AREA. ELEVATED INSTABILITY NORTH
OF THE WARM FRONT HAS BEEN STRONG ENOUGH TO GENERATE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
THESE HAVE BEEN RATHER ISOLATED IN NATURE...AND THE MAIN SEVERE
EVENT WILL LIKELY HOLD OFF UNTIL THE H5 SHORT WAVE EJECTS INTO OUR
AREA...IN CONJUCTION WITH A VERY STRONG LLJ AT H85. HELICITY
INDICES WILL INCREASE THROUGH MIDNIGHT...WHEN THE LOWER AND UPPER
JET MAXES COUPLE ACROSS C IL. THIS WILL AID IN PRODUCING INTENSE
UPDRAFTS TO STRETCH THE HIGH HELICITY AIR AT LOWER LEVELS. SPC HAS
HIGHLIGHTED THIS EVENT WITH A PDS TOR WATCH (PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS
SITUATION). MID EVENING APPEARS TO BE THE ONSET TIME OF THE MAIN
ORGANIZED LINE OF CONVECTION...BASED ON TIMING THE SHORTWAVE AND
THE INTENSIFICATION OF THE LLJ, AND THE APPROACH OF THE DRY LINE.
WITH THE COLD FRONT LAGGING THE DRY LINE, ADDITIONAL STORMS MAY
REGENERATE BETWEEN 3 AM AND 6 AM WHEN THE COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THE CWA.

DUE TO THE HIGH THREAT OF INTENSE TORNADOES, LARGE HAIL, AND
DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS TONIGHT...AN ADDITIONAL HIGH RISK
CONFERENCE CALL WILL BE HELD AT 6 PM FOR THE EMS AND MEDIA WITH THE
LATEST INFORMATION. PHONE INFORMATION WAS SENT VIA E-MAIL.

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN OUR SE COUNTIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 6
AM...AND THE MAIN THREAT FOR STORMS SUBSIDES.

THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE TONIGHT WILL SIGNIFY THE ONSET OF A
MAJOR AIRMASS CHANGE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. ANY LINGERING
SHOWERS ON MONDAY MAY CHANGE OVER TO SNOW...PRIMARILY IN THE NORTH
HALF OF THE CWA. FLURRIES MAY CONTINUE MONDAY NIGHT...BUT THAT
SHOULD BE IT FOR PRECIP UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WHEN THE NEXT LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES BY NORTH OF ILLINOIS.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
THE MODELS HAVE BEEN TAKING THE TRACK OF THE WEDNESDAY LOW FARTHER
NORTH WITH EACH RUN...AND HAVE SLOWED DOWN THE TIMING AS WELL. IT
NOW APPEARS THAT THE CHC OF RAIN OR SNOW WILL BE MAINLY IN THE
NORTH HALF OF THE CWA...WITH VERY LITTLE PRECIP ACCUM EXPECTED. A
COLD FRONT WILL PASS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT LOW SYSTEM...AND AN
ADDITIONAL SHOT OF COLD AND DRY AIR WILL FILTER INTO OUR AREA FOR
FRIDAY MORNING. THE COLDEST TEMPS OF THE WEEK APPEAR ON TAP FOR
SATURDAY MORNING...THE SECOND NIGHT OF HIGH PRESSURE.

&&

.ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLOOD WATCH (FOR FLASH FLOODING) EXTENDED THROUGH NOON MONDAY FOR
AREAS ROUGHLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM SHELBYVILLE TO PARIS.
