What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Jun 14, 4:14 PM EDT	TSTM WND DMG	2 W Oxford, IN	TOOL SHED DAMAGED AND DEBRIS BLOWN ACROSS ROAD. ON ROUTE 352 JUST EAST OF COUNTY ROAD 200 E. FROM FOWLER POLICE DEPT. TIME APPROXIMATE FROM RADAR DATA.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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 nearest sounding before it

Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 12:00Z, 8.2 hours before the alert went out and 118 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.

What forecasters said that day

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 14, 4:02 PM EDT, 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 4:02 PM EDT, 11 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
302 PM CDT MON JUN 14 2010

.DISCUSSION...
1202 PM CDT

MINOR UPDATES TO GOING FORECAST. MOST OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY FROM
EARLIER THIS MORNING HAS LIFTED NORTH INTO THE NORTHERN SECTIONS
OF ILLINOIS/SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND SOUTHERN PORTION OF LAKE
MICHIGAN. LLVL OBS HAVE REMAINED OUT OF THE EAST...WITH A DEW PT
BNDRY TRYING TO LIFT NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. NORTH OF THIS
BNDRY DEW PTS ARE IN THE UPR 60S...SOUTH THEY ARE IN THE LOW 70S.
VISIBLE IMAGERY TRENDS HAVE SUGGESTED SOME THINNING OF THE CLOUD
SHIELD ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS WITH MARGINAL DESTABILIZATION OF
THE ATMOS. THE THINKING IS THAT ANY CONVECTION THAT WOULD OCCUR
WOULD BE FOCUSED FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THE
CURRENT DAY ONE CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK HAS HIGHLIGHTED THE SOUTHEAST
COUNTIES OF OUR CWFA FOR SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTN.

BEACHLER

//PREV DISCUSSION...
331 AM CDT

HAVE MADE A FEW REFINEMENTS...MAINLY TO NEAR TERM OF
FCST...FAVORING NAM GUIDANCE WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE
ON AREAS OF CONVECTION OUT THE GATE THIS MORNING. RADAR/SATELLITE
IMAGERY SUGGESTS ZONE OF ACTIVE CONVECTION WILL AGAIN BE MAINLY
SOUTH OF FA...SO HAVE REMOVED THUNDER MENTION OVER ALL BUT FAR WRN
AND SRN PORTIONS OF FA WHERE FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW AT LEAST SOME
INSTABILITY AND LOW CLOUD COVER IS APT TO BE LESS INHIBITIVE OF
DEVELOPMENT. AREAS OF DENSE FOG OVER MAINLY RURAL AREAS OF NRN IL
SHOULD LIFT INTO STRATUS DECK SOON AFTER SUNRISE...BUT THIS WILL
STILL BE A FACTOR LIMITING THUNDER CHANCES. CLUSTER NOW LIFTING
NEWD ACROSS SERN IA AND NERN MO SHOULD REMAIN ACTIVE THROUGH THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS...WITH SOME ANVIL CANOPY RAIN/THUNDER POSSIBLE
INTO FAR WRN FA BEFORE COMPLEX ENTERS DIURNAL DOWN TIME AND TURNS
EASTWARD AS IT CROSSES MS RIVER. AREAS WELL SOUTH OF I-80 WILL BE
CLOSER TO THUNDERSTORM INITIATION AREA...AND MAY DEVELOP MORE CAPE
AS DAY GOES ON SO WILL JUST GO WITH LIKELY THUNDER OVER SRN CWA.

AS ELONGATED UPPER LOW FROM ERN WY-NRN MN EVOLVES INTO A MORE
PRONOUNCES CLOSED LOW OVER THE DAKOTAS TODAY AND
TONIGHT...AMPLIFICATION OF SHORT WAVE EXTENDING SOUTH ACROSS
CENTRAL PLAINS STATES IS EXPECTED TO EJECT SMALLER SCALE WAVE NEWD
OUT OF THE TX PANHANDLE REGION TONIGHT AS WELL. COMBINATION OF
THESE FEATURES SHOULD INCREASE CHANCES FOR THUNDER ON TUESDAY AND
WILL CONCUR WITH POPS FROM MOS GUIDANCE...GOING WITH LIKELY POPS
THOUGH FEEL THAT BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDER WILL BE N OF REGION
ASSOCIATED WITH BETTER DYNAMICS AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES TO
NW...AND OVER MID MS AND OH VALLEY REGION WHERE THERMODYNAMICS
WILL REMAIN MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE.

AS MAIN SHORT WAVE EJECTS ENEWD ACROSS UPPER GREAT LAKES TUESDAY
NIGHT...MORE PRONOUNCED AND SUSTAINED AREA OF SUBSIDENCE AND
DRYING TO OVERSPREAD MIDWEST BY 12Z WED...ENDING PERIOD OF
CLOUDINESS AND PERIODIC RAIN...AND INTRODUCING A COUPLE OF DAYS OF
DRY...SEASONABLE WEATHER.

MADE LITTLE OR NO CHANGE TO DAY 5 AND BEYOND AS GUIDANCE REMAINS
SOMEWHAT CONSISTENT IN MAINTAINING PROGRESSIVE WAVE PATTERN ACROSS
ROCKIES...NRN TIER OF CONUS AND SRN CANADA. THIS WILL RESULT IN
RETURN OF MORE TROPICAL AIR AGAIN BY FRIDAY...ALONG WITH A RENEWED
CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 20Z...

BIGGEST CONCERN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS REMAINS THE CIGS AT
ORD. FOR 20Z UPDATE...HAVE KEPT ORD IFR THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING
DUE TO PERSISTENCE AND UNCERTAINTY. OTHER CONCERNS REVOLVE AROUND
HOW LOW CIGS/VSBYS WILL GO TONIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY AT BOTH TERMINALS
DUE TO ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRAPPED BELOW A FRONTAL
INVERSION. FINAL MAJOR CONCERN IS PRECIPITATION COVERAGE THROUGH
THIS EVENING. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT SCATTERED COVERAGE IS
LIKELY...WITH THE THUNDER PRIMARILY SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL AREA.

BAK

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 18Z...

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. A WAVE...CURRENTLY OVER IOWA...WILL SLOWLY TRACK EAST
ALONG THE BOUNDARY...EVENTUALLY PUSHING EAST OF THE TERMINALS BY
TUESDAY MORNING. EXPECT SHOWERS TO REDEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING THROUGH A COMBINATION OF DIURNAL HEATING AND WEAK
FORCING FROM THE APPROACH OF THE WAVE. THE STRONGEST INSTABILITY
SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS...SO THUNDER DOES NOT APPEAR
TO BE A THREAT AT THIS TIME. ONCE THE PRECIPITATION ENDS AND LOWER
ATMOSPHERE BEGINS TO COOL THIS EVENING...EXPECT CIGS/VSBYS TO
FALL TO IFR/LIFR FOR THE DURATION OF THE NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING. WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY BE 10 KTS OR LESS OVERALL...
STAYING PREDOMINANTLY NORTHEAST IN ADVANCE OF THE WAVE THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING...VARIABLE AS THE WAVE PASSES BY...AND WESTERLY
IN ITS WAKE TUESDAY MORNING.

BAK

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 20Z...

LOW/MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN CIG TRENDS AT ORD FOR THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...AS WELL AS AT BOTH TERMINALS FOR THE OVERNIGHT/EARLY
TUESDAY HOURS. MEDIUM/HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR SCATTERED SHOWER
DEVELOPMENT IMPACTING THE TERMINALS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. MEDIUM CONFIDENCE THAT THUNDER WILL STAY SOUTH OF
THE TERMINALS.

BAK

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 06Z WEDNESDAY-12Z SUNDAY...UPDATED 18Z...

.MARINE...
213 PM CDT

A STATIONARY FRONT CONTINUES TO SPAN ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS WITH A
SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS EXPECTED TO PROGRESS ALONG THE
BOUNDARY THROUGH TUESDAY. AREAS OF DENSE FOG HAVE PERSISTED THROUGH
THE DAY TODAY AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING.
EASTERLY WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 25 KTS ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT THROUGH LATE TUESDAY AFTER WHICH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
WESTERN PORTIONS OF LAKE MICHIGAN. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS EXPECTED
TO TIGHTEN AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF
OF LAKE MICHIGAN DURING THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS TUESDAY
CAUSING GUSTY NEAR GALE WIND CONDITIONS FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
LAKE. THE GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN LATE TUESDAY EVENING AS THE LOW
FILLS. BY WEDNESDAY HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD INTO THE
REGION CENTERED OVER IOWA AND DRIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST. WINDS WILL
DECREASE AND SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST MIDWEEK.
