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 19, 3:00 PM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
300 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2009

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
WILL KEEP THE HEAT INDEX GOING AS IS UNTIL 7 PM AS HEAT INDEX VALUES
ARE HOVERING AROUND THE 100 DEGREE MARK AND WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW
MORE HOURS.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON AS
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 70S HAVE
RESULTED IN ERODING THE CAPPING INVERSION CENTERED AT ABOUT 850 MB.
RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES FROM STORMS THIS MORNING HAVE BECOME ILL-DEFINED
AS OF LATE...HOWEVER SATELLITE IMAGERY STILL SHOWS AN ARC OF DEEPER
CUMULUS/CBS FROM GALESBURG TO SPRINGFIELD TO PARIS. THESE STORMS
WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE DOWNBURST WINDS AND POSSIBLY HAIL
THIS EVENING.

THE MORE CONCENTRATED SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE LATER THIS EVENING
AND TOWARD 06Z AS A WELL-DEFINED SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH EASTERN
KANSAS/NEBRASKA PUSHES TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. UPSCALE GROWTH
IN THE STORMS BETWEEN DES MOINES AND KANSAS CITY IS LIKELY WITH THE
MAIN SEVERE WEATHER MODE LIKELY BEING A BOW ECHO WITH DAMAGING
WINDS. LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE
AS WELL.

BY 06Z...THE MAIN COLD FRONT SHOULD BE JUST MOVING INTO GALESBURG...
HOWEVER THE THUNDERSTORM CLUSTER BY THEN SHOULD BE RACING INTO
INDIANA. SOME SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN WITH THE
MAIN FRONT...SO WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING AFTER MIDNIGHT IN THE
NORTHWEST HALF. SOME LINGERING STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE
SOUTHEAST SATURDAY MORNING.

THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL OUT JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA...AND
MODELS INDICATE THAT THE BOUNDARY WILL RETREAT NORTHWARD SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY. WILL INCLUDE SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THAT
TIMEFRAME...THEN THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD IN AND REDUCE POPS BELOW
MENTIONABLE VALUES.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
UPPER RIDGE WILL BE ANCHORED OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION INTO THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WITH THE MAIN JET EXTENDING FROM THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES INTO CANADA NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF SURFACE FEATURES.
MOISTURE WILL BE RICH BUT MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE VERY
WARM WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN EXTENSIVE CAP OVER MUCH OF THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE JUST ABOUT
ANYWHERE...BUT THE LOW CHANCE/LOW AERIAL COVERAGE PRECLUDES ANY
MENTION THIS FAR IN ADVANCE.

BY FRIDAY...THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE IN LOOSE AGREEMENT THAT AN UPPER
TROUGH WILL TOP THE RIDGE AND MOVE ACROSS CANADA AND EXTEND
SOUTHWARD INTO THE GREAT LAKES. WILL PUT IN SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
OVER THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE VICINITY OF
THE ACCOMPANYING SURFACE FRONT.

04
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1230 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2009

MAIN FORECAST ISSUE FOR THE TAFS WILL BE THE TIMING OF A SEVERE
SQUALL LINE...AS IT MOVES SOUTHHEAST FROM IOWA AND ACROSS THE
TERMINAL SITES THIS EVENING. USING THE 4KM WRF MODEL...ATTEMPED TO
PROVIDE A 3-HR WINDOW AT EACH SITE WHEN THIS IS MOST LIKELY...
BEGINNING AROUND 23Z AT KPIA AND ENDING AROUND 03Z AT KCMI.

BEFORE THIS ARRIVES...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED DURING
THE AFTERNOON...WITH REGIONAL RADAR MOSAICS HINTING AT THIS FROM
NEAR KUIN SOUTHWEST INTO WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS JUST
NORTHEAST OF KCMI. MAINTAINED VCTS AT ALL SITES FOR MUCH OF THIS
PERIOD.

COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO PUSH ACROSS THE TAF SITES LATE THIS
EVENING...WITH WINDS SWINGING TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST BY 12Z.
