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 Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 7, 12:35 PM EDT, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 12:35 PM EDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1235 PM EDT WED JUN 7 2006

.DISCUSSION...

IMMEDIATE QUESTION IS HOW DRY FIRST PERIOD.

TSRA OVER CENTRAL INDIANA RIGHT NOW SEEM TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A
WEAK FRONT. JUDGING FROM CLOUDS BEHIND THIS IT MUST BE A KATAFRONT.
HOPEFULLY MORE CONVECTION UNLIKELY AFTER IT PASSES...CERTAINLY
ENDING BEFORE NIGHT. WILL BUY INTO DRY MOS POPS OVENIGHT BUT MAY
CARRY EVENING PERIOD FOR TSRA IN SOUTH.

AFTER THAT...WEAK HIGH BUILDS OVER AREA FROM NORTH. MODELS IN FAIRLY
GOOD ACCORDANCE UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT. AFTER THAT LIKE GFS BETTER
BECAUSE ITS SLOW HANDLING OF LOW ALOFT FITS BETTER WITH RECENT
PATTERNS. CONSIDERING THIS...WILL INTRODUCE SLGT CHC FRIDAY NIGHT AS
RETURN MOISTURE TRIES TO BUILD IN. OTHERWISE MSTLY SUNNY THROUGH
TOMORROW AND THEN PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT AS CROSS SECTIONS SUGGEST
MID/HI CLOUDS.

GUIDANCE FAIRLY CLOSE ON TEMPS UNTIL FRIDAY WHEN MAV GETS MUCH
COOLER FOR NO PHYSICAL REASON I CAN FIND. FWC REPRESENTS A CONSENSUS
AND LOOKS REASONABLE BASED ON UPSTREAM. FOR FRIDAY NIGHT MET TEMPS
REPRESENT BETTER CONTINUITY.

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
