Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 3:00 PM CDT, 4 hours 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
300 PM CDT WED JUN 4 2008
.DISCUSSION...
300 PM CDT
THE FORECAST PICTURE REMAINS JUST AS CHALLENGING EVEN AS WE GET
CLOSER TO THE EVENT. AT THE SURFACE...THE WARM FRONT HAS SURGED
NORTH DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...PUSHING NORTH OF RFD OVER
NCNTRL IL AND JUST SOUTH OF MDW IN NERN IL AND NORTH OF VP IN NRN
IN. THE COOLER LAKE WATERS WILL LIKELY INHIBIT NED PROGRESSION OF
THE FRONT OVER THE ERN EXTREME...BUT SHOULD CONTINUE A LITTLE
FURTHER NORTH OVER THE WRN EXTREME. EXPECT THAT THE FRONT SHOULD GO
STORY ALGA THE IL/WI BORDER LATE THIS EVENING...PUTTING MUCH OF THE
AREA IN A MOISTURE LADEN WARM SECTOR. CONVECTION HAS ALREADY BROKEN
OUT OVER CNTRL IL AT ISSUANCE TIME AND LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY
INDICATES WIDESPREAD CU DEVELOPMENT AND A CONTINUED DECREASE IN
CLOUD COVER OVER NRN IL. SFC TEMPS CONTINUE TO WARM THIS AFTERNOON
AND HAVE SURGED INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S SOUTH OF THE
FRONT...WITH DEWPOINT INCREASING INTO THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER
70S...THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. THE MAJOR
CONCERN FOR THE SHORT TERM WILL BE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF
CONVECTION. FOR MODEL GUIDANCE TODAY...HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE
GFS PATTERN WHICH HAS BEEN RATHER CONSISTENT. GFS BUFKIT SOUNDINGS
SHOW A THIN BUT INCREASING POSITIVE CAPE PROFILE WITH LITTLE CINE.
BY 00Z...NRN IL SOUNDINGS SHOW CAPE REACHING NEAR 2000 J/KG...SO
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IS HIGH. EVEN THOUGH NO ACTIVITY HAS STARTED
YET THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE LOCAL AREA FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO KEEP
LIKELY POPS OVER THE AREA THROUGH 06Z. THE SEVERE POTENTIAL REMAINS
IN PLACE AS WELL AS HEAVY RAINFALL/FLOODING POTENTIAL...PARTICULARLY
FOR THE SOUTHER COUNTIES WHICH HAVE RECEIVED EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER
THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. GIVEN THE LY MID LEVEL FLOW OF RAND 50KT
AND SLY LOWER LEVEL FLOW...THERE SHOULD BE ADEQUATE VEERING OF
WINDS WITH HEIGHT AND STRONG ENOUGH MID LEVEL FLOW TO SUPPORT SEVERE
CRITERIA HAIL AND WINDS. ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...THOUGH LIFTING NED WITH TIME AS THE WARM FRONT
CONTINUES TO LIFT NED INTO WISCONSIN. SOME LINGERING CONVECTIONS IS
POSSIBLE OVER THE NRN TIER COUNTIES THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...BUT
THE MAIN CONCERN WILL SHIFT TO HEAT AND HUMIDITY FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY. WITH A BUILDING HIGH OVER THE SEEN CONUS AND THE DEEPENING
UPPER LOW OVER THE NRN PLAINS...PERSISTENT SLY FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR
A CONTINUED PATTERN OF WARM/MOIST ADVECTION WITH TEMPERATURE
APPROACHING...OR EXCEEDING 90F FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SPRING. THE
HIGH REMAINS PARKED OVER THE SEEN CONUS FOR THE NEXT FEW
DAYS...WHILE THE CNTRL PLAINS UPPER LOW TRACKS NEED INTO CANADA AND
WEAKENS AS IT TRIES TO RIDE OVER THE RIDGE. CONSEQUENTLY...THERE IS
LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN THE PATTERN OR GENERAL FORECAST FOR THE
FEW DAYS. WILL MAINTAIN A PERIOD WARM...HUMID CONDITIONS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. WITH THE BUILDING ERN
RIDGE...THE BEST CHANCE FOR DRY WEATHER SHOULD BE THURSDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY FRIDAY...BUT POPS SHOULD INCREASE FOR LATE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
AS A SHORT WAVE ROTATING AROUND THE SERN PERIPHERY SHOULD MOVE OVER
NWRN IL...PROVIDING ADEQUATE UPPER SUPPORT TO JUSTIFY THE LIKELY
POPS FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

.AVIATION...
1800 UTC TAFS...THE WARM FRONT IS SLOW IN MOVING NORTH INTO
NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THE FOG AND LOW CEILINGS ARE STILL OVER

AFTERNOON. THE LOW WILL MOVE EAST AND DISSIPATE AS THE FRONT MOVES
