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.
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 local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Chicago, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Jun 19, 3:18 PM CDT, 2 hours 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 3:18 PM CDT, 2 hours 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
318 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2009
.DISCUSSION...
315 PM CDT
MAIN FORECAST FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON NEAR TERM CONVECTIVE/SEVERE
POTENTIAL.
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER THUNDERSTORMS STALLED ACROSS SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT NOW IS BEGINNING TO RETREAT BACK
NORTHWARD AND IS BEGINNING TO LOSE DEFINITION. EVEN NORTH OF THIS
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WINDS STARTED TO VEER MORE SOUTHERLY. SFC
TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE MID 80S TO NEAR 90 HAS ALLOWED FOR
SURFACE BASED CAPES TO INCREASE TO BETWEEN 3-4K J/KG ALONG AN AXIS
FROM WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS INTO NORTHWEST ILLINOIS WITH LESSER
AMOUNTS OF SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST ILLINOIS
WHERE SFC TEMPERATURES ARE STILL COOLER FROM THE MORNING
THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARY/WARM FRONT RAPIDLY
SURGING BACK NORTHWARD...WOULD EXPECT NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AREAS TO
WARM QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON AND RAPIDLY DESTABILIZE. THUNDERSTORMS
HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO FIRE ONCE AGAIN IN THIS INSTABILITY AXIS
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND SHOULD BE AFFECTING SOUTHWEST
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA OVER NEXT FEW HOURS. LOOKING
UPSTREAM...A FAIRLY POTENT UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE CONTINUES TO TRACK
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEBRASKA/NORTHWEST KANSAS WHICH WILL BE APPROACHING
THE MID MS RIVER VALLEY THIS EVENING. AN 80 KNOT UPPER LEVEL JET
STREAK IS ALSO NOTED ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI EJECTING OUT AHEAD OF
THE MAIN SHORT WAVE TROUGH. THIS SHORT WAVE/JET STREAK SHOULD ALLOW
FOR INCREASING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING.
DEEP LAYER SHEAR ALSO REMAINS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF RAPID SEVERE
DEVELOPMENT AND POSSIBILITY OF DISCRETE CELLS AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT. STILL EXPECTING CONVECTION TO TAKE ON MORE OF SQUALL LINE/BOW
ECHO MODE LATER THIS EVENING AS THE MAIN COLD FRONT APPROACHES. HIGH
WINDS AND HAIL STILL APPEAR TO BE MAIN THREATS ALTHOUGH CANNOT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT ISOLATED TORNADOES ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON BEFORE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO CONGEAL INTO MORE OF A
COMPLEX WITH AN INCREASING WIND THREAT. ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
FOR ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLIER TODAY DUE TO EXPECTED HEAVY
RAINFALL TONIGHT. MAY SEE THE GREATEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS ACROSS
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MAY
SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.
SEVERE THREAT WILL BEGIN TO WANE TOWARD MIDNIGHT AS LOW PULLS OUT
OVER WISCONSIN AND COLD FRONT TRACKS THROUGH NORTHERN ILLINOIS.
QUIET WEATHER THEN SHOULD RETURN FOR SATURDAY AS SFC HIGH BEGINS TO
BUILD INTO THE MID/UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY. MAIN QUESTION TOMORROW
WILL BE WHETHER LOW LEVEL NORTH/NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPRESS ANY LAKE INFLUENCE FOR ILLINOIS
NEARSHORE AREAS. ALTHOUGH LOW LEVEL WINDS NOT EXPECTED TO BE THAT
STRONG...DEEP MIXING SHOULD PROVIDE STRONG ENOUGH NORTHWEST WINDS TO
LIMIT LAKE BREEZE. HIGHS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID AND
UPPER 80S TOMORROW. STILL EXPECTING MOST OF THE WEEKEND SHOULD BE
DRY ALTHOUGH LATEST GFS DOES SUGGEST A SHORT WAVE LIFTING NORTHEAST
THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS WHICH SHOULD INCREASE LOW LEVEL WAA AND
POSSIBLY RESULT IN A FEW ELEVATED SHOWERS. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY
PRECIP MENTION AT THIS TIME GIVEN MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES NOT EXPECTED
TO BE THAT STEEP DUE TO LINGERING EFFECTS FROM SUBSIDENCE INVERSION
THAT DEVELOPS LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
HAVE MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST TODAY WITH STILL
NOT MUCH CHANGE IN MEDIUM RANGE MODELS FROM THE PREVIOUS FEW DAYS.
EARLY NEXT WEEK...AMPLITUDE OF UPPER RIDGING WILL INCREASE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL CONUS AND MAIN SHORT WAVE TRACK IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
WELL TO THE NORTH ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA. VERY DIFFICULT AT THIS
TIME TO PINPOINT ANY BETTER CHANCES OF RAIN IN THIS PATTERN SO HAVE
KEPT MOST OF NEXT WEEK DRY AT THIS TIME.
MARSILI
&&
.AVIATION...
1800 UTC TAFS...FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
ACROSS THE TERMINALS FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD.
THUNDERSTORMS QUICKLY REDEVELOPED THIS MORNING AFTER AN INITIAL
WAVE OF STORMS MOVED IN LATE LAST NIGHT. WHAT IS LEFT OF THEM ARE
CURRENTLY MOVING EAST OF THE TERMINALS. WILL SEE A TREND TOWARD
BETTER CEILINGS AS THIS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXIT TO THE
EAST WITH CEILINGS COMING UP TO VFR WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR. THERE IS
SOME PARTIAL CLEARING THAT WILL BE OCCURRING THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS
THE TERMINALS. ALTHOUGH...MID LEVEL WAVE IS FORECAST TO TRACK
NORTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON
REINTRODUCING CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP. SEVERAL ROUNDS OF STORMS
HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED...BUT AIR JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS
HAS BEEN UNTOUCHED THUS FAR. THIS WILL ONCE AGAIN YIELD A MODERATELY
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS COLD
FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA TONIGHT...BUT WILL COME TO AN END AS SURFACE LOW AND FRONT
PUSH THROUGH. ON THE BACKSIDE...CLOUDS WILL SCATTER OUT SATURDAY
MORNING WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG AS LOW MOISTURE WILL BE THERE
AND WINDS ARE FORECAST TO DIMINISH.
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE TODAY AND TRY INITIALLY VEER TO
THE SOUTH...AND THEN TO THE SOUTHWEST. AS LOW EXITS TO THE
EAST...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO THE WEST SATURDAY MORNING.
RODRIGUEZ
&&
.MARINE...
212 AM CDT
MAIN THREAT OVER THE LAKE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS REMAINS THE
CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG WIND. LINE OF STORMS THIS
MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO ADVANCE SOUTH ALONG THE LAKE AND THEN
CLEAR OUT LATER IN THE MORNING. ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED TO DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND ROLL
ACROSS THE LAKE. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LAKE
FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AND DROP A COLD FRONT DOWN THE LAKE. HIGH
PRESSURE IS THEN EXPECTED TO SET UP ACROSS THE LAKE THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK KEEPING WINDS AND WAVES
DOWN.
