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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 10:30 AM CDT, 1 hour 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
1030 AM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 1030 AM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

BOW ECHO CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS ILLINOIS PRODUCING
SCATTERED DAMAGE. THE TORNADO WATCH THAT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT WILL
BE EXTENDED AHEAD OF THE BOW UNTIL 2 PM.

IMPACT OF THIS BOW ON LATER CONVECTION MAY BE TO DELAY THE
INITIATION UNTIL EARLY EVENEING.

BARKER
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 650 AM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008...FOR THE 12Z TAFS

STORMS MAY TAKE A SHORT BREAK EARLY THIS MORNING...THEN A LINE OF
STORMS FROM IOWA MAY REACH OUR CWA BY MID MORNING. 4KM WRF OUTPUT
SHOWS THE CONVECTION MOSTLY DISSIPATING AS WE HEAD INTO LATE
MORNING...WITH A BREAK UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WHEN THE
WARM FRONT SAGS BACK SOUTH AS A COLD FRONT. A MODERATE RISK IS IN
PLACE FOR LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING...SO I ADDED +TSRAGS AND VRB
GUSTS TO 45KTS EARLY THIS EVENING. IFR CIGS AND VIS WILL BE LIKELY
IN THE HEAVIER STORMS.

THE BACK EDGE OF STORMS OVERNIGHT SHOULD COME BETWEEN 06Z AND
09Z.

SHIMON
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 326 AM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

SHORT TERM...TODAY AND WEDNESDAY. A VERY COMPLEX FORECAST IN THE
SHORT TERM SW-NE ORIENTED 50-55KT LOW LEVEL JET OVER MISSOURI
OVERNIGHT HAS LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERAL TRAINING CLUSTERS
OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CWA IN AN AREA OF VERY STRONG LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE LLJ. MOST OF
THE STORMS HAVE BEEN ELEVATED...BUT WARM/MOIST ADVECTION HAS
CLEARLY LEAD TO A CHANGE IN THE ENVIRONMENT SOUTH OF THE I-72
CORRIDOR... AS A STRONG CELL MOVED OVER SANGAMON COUNTY WAS
FINALLY ABLE TO BRING STRONG WINDS DOWN TO THE SFC. THIS STORM
EVENTUALLY MORPHED INTO A SUPERCELL WITH STRONG ROTATION AND
POSSIBLE TORNADO DAMAGE IN NORTHERN CHRISTIAN COUNTY. METAR OB
FROM KTAZ INDICATED STRONGLY BACKED SFC FLOW... WITH PROFILER/VAD
WINDS INDICATING 40-50 KT SW WINDS JUST ALOFT... THUS THERE WAS
PLENTY OF STRONG WIND SHEAR READY TO BE TAPPED STRETCHED AS THIS
CELL BECAME SFC-BASED.

BIG QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS OVER THE NEXT 12-18 HOURS. NCEP
MODELS AT 00Z DID NOT PICK UP ON MCS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO
NORTHWESTERN IOWA... AND SUGGEST FOCUS FOR ONGOING CONVECTION
WILL DRIFT NORTHWARD IN TIME AS LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY/AXIS OF STRONG
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE PUSHES NORTHWARD AS WARM/MOIST AIR ADVECTS
INTO THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA.

06Z NAM AND ONE OF THE EXPERIMENTAL RUC MODELS WERE THE ONLY ONES
TO HAVE ANY REFLECTION OF ONGOING MCS IN NW IOWA. BOTH SUGGEST
THIS SYSTEM WILL WEAKEN AS IT PUSHES SOUTHEASTWARD...BASICALLY
RIDING JUST NORTH OF THE LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY...PARALLEL TO THE
850-700MB THETA GRADIENT.

MESOSCALE EVOLUTION EXPECTED TODAY...AND THIS IS A PRETTY LOW
CONFIDENCE FORECAST...IS FOR FOCUS OF ELEVATED STORMS TO SHIFT
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...WITH LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY UP
AROUND THE I-74 CORRIDOR BY MID-MORNING. IOWA MCS OR ITS REMNANTS
AND LEADING OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LOOK TO REACH THE FAR WESTERN CWA
BETWEEN 15-18Z. EXPECT THIS WILL BECOME THE FOCUS FOR A SECOND
ROUND OF CONVECTION IN THE WARM SECTOR SOUTH OF THE FRONT. SPC HAS
MOST OF THE CWA IN A MODERATE RISK... AND TORNADOES WILL BE
POSSIBLE GIVEN STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR ESPECIALLY WHERE SFC WINDS
ARE LOCALLY BACKED CLOSER TO THE WARM FRONT. ALTHOUGH WE COULD NOT
BUY A HAILSTONE WITH EARLIEST STORMS OVERNIGHT...HAIL THREAT WILL
BE ENHANCED LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS STEEPER MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI ADVECT INTO THE AREA.

06Z NAM SUGGESTS SEVERAL MORE WAVES OF CONVECTION INTO THE EVENING
HOURS AS LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVES PUSH ACROSS THE AREA. WITH THE
HEAVY RAIN OVERNIGHT ALONG THE I-72 CORRIDOR...AND EXPECTED RETURN
OF CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON...WE MAY NEED TO THINK ABOUT GOING
WITH A FLOOD WATCH ACROSS PART OF THE CWA. WITH THE CURRENT PRECIP
FOCUS DRIFTING NORTH...WE HAVE SOME TIME TO WORK WITH. MORNING
COOP REPORTS WILL PROVIDE GOOD GROUND TRUTH OF OVERNIGHT
RAINFALL... AND HOPEFULLY BY MID-MORNING THE MESOSCALE EVOLUTION
WILL BECOME A BIT MORE CLEAR.

EXPECT A MESS OF BOUNDARIES AROUND EARLY WEDNESDAY...BUT MAIN LOW
LEVEL FRONT WILL BE DRIFTING NORTH. WITH WARMER MID-LEVEL AIR
MOVING IN...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE LOOKS TO BE LESS...BUT KEPT THE
HIGH CHANCE POPS IN FOR MUCH OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
THURSDAY LOOKS FAIRLY HOT AND DRY AS STRONG CAPPING DEVELOPS. COLD
FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FRIDAY...BUT LATEST TRENDS
SUGGEST EASTERN RIDGING WILL BUILD A LITTLE FARTHER WEST THAN
PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT...SO THE FRONT WILL BE SPUTTERING AS IT REACHES
THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND MAY HAVE A TOUGH TIME BREAKING
THE CAP.
