The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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

Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 00:00Z, 0.5 hours before the alert went out and 111 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 7:07 PM CDT, 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
707 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2008

.DISCUSSION...
PROFILERS SHOWING A GRDL WEAKENING OF WIND FIELDS ACRS THE
MIDWEST THIS AFTN AND THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THIS
EVENING. STRONGEST WINDS MIXED TO THE SFC DURING THE LATE MRNG AND
EARLY AFTN HOURS WITH THE STRONGER WINDS FIELDS NOW ABOVE 4000
FEET.

HAVE DECIDED TO HOLD ONTO THE WIND ADVSY UNTIL THE EXPIRATION
TIME OF 600 PM CDT THIS EVENING...STILL SEEING WIND GUSTS APPROACH
50 MPH ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST THIS AFTN.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE THIS PERIOD WILL BE WITH THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES TNT AND OVER THE WEEKEND ALONG WITH TEMPS. SHORTWAVE
ENERGY PUSHING OUT OF SW MO WL INTERACT WITH A WEAKENING FRONTAL
BOUNDARY TO PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACRS PARTS OF THE
AREA THRU THE EVENING HOURS. STORMS DURING THEIR INITIAL STAGES
OF DEVELOPMENT COULD EXHIBIT STRONG LOW LVL ROTATION AND PSBLY
PRODUCE A TORNADO. UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND FIELDS SUGGEST MORE LINEAR
TYPE STORMS EARLY THIS EVENING WITH A STRAIGHT LINE WIND THREAT.
LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...CONCERN SHIFTS MORE TWDS A
HEAVY RAIN THREAT ACRS OUR SOUTHEAST. MORE FAVORABLE LOW LVL
CONVERGENCE AND THETA-E ADVECTION AND NOSE OF 50KT LOW LVL JET
CNTRD ACRS MO INTO SRN IL...MORE ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-72 OVERNIGHT
SO WL CARRY A LITTLE HIGHER POPS THERE.

UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS ARE FORECAST TO BUILD ACRS THE OHIO VALLEY
STARTING ON SATURDAY WITH ANY OVERNIGHT CONVECTION LIFTING
NORTHEAST AND THEN DIMINISHING AS IT ENCOUNTERS WARMING TEMPS
ALOFT. WL CARRY LOW CHANCE POPS DURING THE DAY AS ANY REMNANT
OUTFLOWS FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION COULD IGNITE ADDL STORMS DURING
THE DAY. GFS AND WRF MODELS SUGGEST MODERATE TO EXTREME INSTABILITY
ACRS NE IOWA...NRN IL AND SRN WISCONSIN SAT AFTN AND EVENING AS
THE NEXT SHORTWAVE HEADS NE THRU THE UPPER GREAT LAKES. THIS
SHOULD DRAG A WEAK COLD FRONT SOUTHEAST INTO NE IOWA AND SOUTH
CNTRL WISCONSIN BY EVENING. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
ALONG AND EAST OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAT AFTN AND EVENING AND
THEN TRACK NE...STAYING TO OUR NORTH. WL KEEP POPS LOW SATURDAY
NIGHT AS CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN TO OUR NORTH OVERNIGHT.

VERY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON SUNDAY AS THE UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING HOLDS OVR THE MIDWEST. CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO
FIRE TO OUR NW ON SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A GRDL SHIFT SE
INTO OUR FAR NW COUNTIES WHERE THE CURRENT LOW CHANCE POPS LOOK
REASONABLE LATE SUNDAY. BASED ON THE CURRENT GFS AND ECMWF MODELS
OUR BEST THREAT FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING IN LATE
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHIFTS SE INTO
THE LOWER MIDWEST.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN TO PREVAIL ACRS MIDWEST DURING THIS PERIOD
AS SEVERAL RATHER STRONG SHORTWAVES FOR THE MIDDLE OF JUNE WL
AFFECT THE FCST AREA TUESDAY MRNG AND AGAIN LATE FRIDAY. CONVECTION
CHANCES WILL REMAIN ACRS THE AREA AT LEAST THRU TUE MRNG BEFORE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS BACK OVR THE MIDWEST FOR A BRIEF TIME.
NEXT SHORTWAVE WL PUSH INTO THE NW PORTION OF THE COUNTRY HELPING
TO BUILD HEIGHTS ACRS OUR AREA FOR MIDWEEK. NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY
IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA LATE THU INTO FRIDAY...BUT CONTINUE
TO SEE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THIS PARTICULAR SHORTWAVE
LATE IN THE PERIOD SO WL KEEP THE POPS IN THE 20-30 RANGE FOR NOW.
