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.
The nearest sounding before it
Pittsburgh, PA (KPIT), launched 12:00Z, 6.6 hours before the alert went out and 140 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.

NWS Cleveland, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 23, 12:49 PM EDT, 1 hour 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 12:49 PM EDT, 1 hour 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH 1249 PM EDT MON JUN 23 2008 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL ROTATE EAST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD OVER THE REGION TONIGHT AND TUESDAY AND THEN DOMINATE THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... UPDATED TO CHANGE THE WORDING TO SCATTERED BASED ON A LITTLE DRIER AIR ALOFT. THE COLDEST PART OF THE TROF AXIS IS OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. SIMILAR TO PAST COUPLE OF DAYS EXPECT THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY TO INCREASE LATER TODAY AS VERY COOL UPPER TROUGH ROTATES ACROSS AREA. THIS FEATURE WILL MAKE ONLY SLOW PROGRESS TODAY. TEMPS ALOFT VERY COOL WITH 500 MB READINGS PROGGED TO BE BETWEEN NEG 16 TO 18 TODAY. AS A RESULT...LAPSE RAPES WILL BE VERY STEEP WITH MOST UNSTABLE LAYER CAPES GREATER THAN 1000 J/KG. AREA WILL AGAIN BE OUTLOOKED FOR SEVERE STORMS AND THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN COOL TEMPERATURE PROFILE. HAIL WILL AGAIN BE THE MAIN CONCERN TODAY AS LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR MARGINAL. WILL BUMP POPS TO LIKELY ALL AREAS TODAY. IN BETWEEN SHOWERS AND STORMS THERE WILL BE SOME SUN. GIVEN CURRENT OBS...DOESN/T APPEAR FOG WILL BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THIS AM. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... TROUGH WILL BE SLOW TO EXIT REGION AND WILL NEED TO KEEP PRECIP MENTION ALL AREAS FOR THE START OF THE TONIGHT FORECAST. QUICK LOOK AT CURRENT SATELLITE SHOWS THAT THERE IS PRETTY RAPID CLEARING BEHIND TROUGH. THUS EXPECT THE EVENING TO START OUT WITH CLOUDS AND SCATTERED PRECIP WITH RAPID CLEARING OVERNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY BUILDS IN. TUESDAY WILL BE A MOSTLY SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY DAY. SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW FAST THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. BOTH LATEST NAM AND ECMWF PUSH RIDGE TO THE EAST COAST ON WEDNESDAY WHICH ALLOWS WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW TO RETURN TO THE LOCAL AREA. BOTH ALSO DEVELOP PRECIP OVER AREA ON WEDNESDAY. MEANWHILE...THE GFS REMAINS A LITTLE SLOWER MOVING RIDGE OFF TO THE E WHICH SLOWS PRECIP ONSET. FOR NOW WILL USE A COMPROMISE SOLUTION WITH JUST SMALL POPS IN THE WEST...WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE WED NIGHT. GUID TEMPS HAVE BEEN DECENT LATELY AND WILL BE FOLLOWED FAIRLY CLOSELY. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... UNSETTLED WEATHER APPEARS LIKELY DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD. MODEL DIFFS PREVAIL AND TOUGH TO PICK OUT A DRY PERIOD. NEW PACKAGE WILL BE SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS PACKAGE WITH SMALL CHANCE POPS MOST PERIODS THROUGH SATURDAY. WILL TRY TO DRY THINGS OUT FOR SUNDAY. MOISTURE LEVELS WILL SLOWLY BUILD DURING PERIOD WITH DEWPOINTS AROUND 60 BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THUS IT WILL FEEL A LITTLE WARMER THAN FORECAST TEMPS WOULD APPEAR TO INDICATE. && .AVIATION /16Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... UPPER TROF OVER THE AREA WILL DRIFT EAST THROUGH THE TAF FORECAST PERIOD AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRY TO BUILD IN ON TUESDAY. COLD FRONT IS ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LOW MOVING EAST THIS AFTERNOON. STILL SOME QUESTION HOW WIDESPREAD THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE. AT THIS TIME FEELING THAT THE MAJORITY OF ACTIVITY WILL BE OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. IN THE THUNDERSTORMS NON VFR CONDITIONS. THE BIG THREAT WILL BE HAIL WITH THE FREEZING LEVEL SO LOW NEAR 9000 FEET. THE ACTIVITY SHOULD DECREASE QUICKLY THIS EVENING. IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW A LITTLE ON THE EDGE ABOUT THE FOG THREAT FOR TONIGHT...THE WINDS WILL DECREASE BUT THE DEW POINTS WONT BE DROPPING MUCH. ANY FOG WOULD BE BRIEF. OUTLOOK...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST WEDNESDAY AND THE MODELS START SPREADING A THREAT BACK IN BY LATE WEDNESDAY AND THEN THE THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY AS A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. NON VFR CONDITIONS MAINLY IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .MARINE... GENERALLY LIGHT FLOW EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE DAYS WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN WAVES 2 FEET OF LESS MOST OF THE TIME. CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS ON THE LAKE TODAY HOWEVER AS A TROF OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE AREA. TUESDAY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. NEXT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL COME WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS LOW PRESSURE AND AN ASSOCIATED UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
