The Lincoln radar (KILX), 82 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 04:03 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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

Davenport, (KDVN), launched 00:00Z, 4.0 hours before the alert went out and 112 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.

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Sep 13, 9:09 PM CDT, 1 hour 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 13, 9:09 PM CDT, 1 hour 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
909 PM CDT SAT SEP 13 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 907 PM CDT SAT SEP 13 2008
REDEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTIVE RAIN CONTINUES IN MO AND MOVES
NORTHEAST INTO CWA. RAINFALL AMOUNTS SIGNIFICANT IN AREAS NEAR IL
RIVER AND NOW PUSHING TO THE EAST OF RIVER. FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS
IN EFFECT. MOISTURE CHANNEL AND RADAR TRENDS SHOW REDEVELOPMENT TO
CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS PROGGED. NO CHANGES TO GRIDS.

GOETSCH

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 648 PM CDT SAT SEP 13 2008 SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADAR
LOOPS SHOW BAND OF PCPN FROM WEST IL INTO NORTHEAST IL. BAND
SHOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY ERODE EASTWARD AND BRING HEAVY RAIN AND
LOWER CIGS/VIS INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT. TAFS CONTINUE TO REFLECT
TREND OF BRINGING IN LOWER CONDS OVERNIGHT.

GOETSCH
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 306 PM CDT SAT SEP 13 2008

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
A PERSISTENT BAND OF RAIN HAS BEEN ONGOING FROM QUINCY TO PEORIA TO
CHICAGO FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...AND RAINFALL RATES WILL INCREASE AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM EASTERN IOWA. EXTREMELY HIGH PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES /MORE THAN 2.5 INCHES/ WILL STREAM NORTHWARD WITH THE
REMNANTS OF IKE...WITH EXCESSIVE RAINFALL A GOOD BET. AGREE WITH HPC
QPF AMOUNTS OF 3-5 INCHES STORM TOTAL RAIN FROM PITTSFIELD TO
PONTIAC. NHC TRACK GUIDANCE FOR IKE HAS IT INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL
MISSOURI BY 12Z SUN AND CONTINUING RAPIDLY ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL
ILLINOIS DURING THE DAY. IT LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN HEAVY RAIN EVENT
WILL HOLD OFF FOR THE EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA UNTIL THE ARRIVAL OF IKE AS THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO ONLY PROGRESS TO AROUND INTERSTATE 55 BY 12Z SUN. WILL
THEREFORE DELAY THE START OF THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THOSE AREAS
UNTIL 12Z SUN.

IN ADDITIONAL TO THE RAIN SITUATION...IKE REMAINS A LARGE TROPICAL
CYCLONE AND IT WILL TAKE LONGER THAN USUAL FOR ITS SURFACE WINDS TO
SETTLE DOWN. WIND SPEEDS NEAR THE CENTER OF IKE MAY REACH WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA ON SUNDAY...BUT WILL LET THIS DECISION REST WITH
THE EARLY MORNING FORECAST PACKAGE TO ASSESS HOW THE WINDS ARE OVER
SOUTHERN MISSOURI.

AS IKE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE INTO INDIANA...RAIN WILL TAPER OFF
BEGINING IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WEST AND FINISH BY SUNSET IN THE
EAST. AFTER THAT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL TAKE HOLD AND BRING A PERIOD
OF DRY  WEATHER THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN STATES WILL PLACE THE MIDWEST IN DRY
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW THROUGH FRIDAY. ON THURSDAY...THE GFS TRIES TO
BRING A WEAK COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND
STALLING IT OUT. THE ECMWF IS THE PREFERRED SOLUTION AS IT BRINGS AN
UPPER TROUGH INTO THE WESTERN STATES THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AND
CORRESPONDINGLY PUTS MORE RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS...THUS
HOLDING THE FRONT FURTHER NORTH. NOT A GREAT DEAL OF CONFIDENCE YET
IN THE EVOLUTION/SPEED OF THE WESTERN TROUGH TOWARD THE END OF THE
PERIOD...BUT BOTTOM LINE FOR CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL BE A CONTINUATION
OF THE DRY WEATHER WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.
