What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
May 28, 3:07 PM CDT	HAIL 0.5	Knoxville, IL

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 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Davenport, (KDVN), launched 12:00Z, 7.8 hours before the alert went out and 76 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 28, 2:37 PM CDT, 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 28, 2:37 PM CDT, 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
237 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 220 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE COVERAGE OF CONVECTION
TONIGHT NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT...AND ITS AFFECT ON HOW FAR NORTH
THE BOUNDARY WILL PUSH ON SUNDAY.

WARM FRONT AS OF 18Z WAS LOCATED ALONG THE MISSOURI/ARKANSAS
BORDER WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION OCCURRING OVER EASTERN MISSOURI
INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS. EXPECT THESE CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD TOWARDS THE
AREA. SOUNDINGS SHOWING SOME DECENT ELEVATED INSTABILITY PRESENT
MOST AREAS TONIGHT WITH MOST UNSTABLE CAPES OF 1500-2000 J/KG ALONG
WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEARS OF 50-60 KTS. MODELS ALSO DEPICTING PRECIP
WATER VALUES OF 1.75 INCHES OVERNIGHT WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET AXIS
ORIENTATED SW TO NE INTO CENTRAL IL. SOME OF THE STRONGER UPDRAFTS
WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS...ALONG
WITH TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WITH THE HIGHEST POPS ALONG AND NORTH
OF INTERSTATE 72.

THE AMOUNT OF COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION
WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AS TO HOW FAR NORTH THE WARM FRONT
IS ABLE TO GET SUNDAY MRNG. WILL SPREAD AT LEAST CHANCE POPS FURTHER
SOUTH DURING THE MORNING HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR A SLOWER NORTHWARD
TRACK TO THE WARM FRONT. ALL MODELS BUILD THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
NORTHWARD LATER TOMORROW AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROF SETTLES INTO
THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE COUNTRY. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE TO EDGE
THE WARM FRONT NORTH OUT OF OUR AREA...TAKING ANY LINGER RAIN CHANCES
WITH IT BY AFTERNOON. AFTER THAT...VERY WARM WEATHER TO HOLD FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH DAYTIME HIGHS SUNDAY IN THE
MID TO UPPER 80S NORTH AND CENTRAL...TO THE LOWER 90S SOUTHEAST.
EVERYONE SHOULD BE 90 DEGREES OR WARMER ON MONDAY.

SHORTWAVE ENERGY FORECAST TO PUSH NE AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE MISSOURI
VALLEY LATE MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT...AND THEN APPROACH THE AREA ON
TUESDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP LOW CHANCE POPS ALONG THE BOUNDARY
TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT BUT LATEST ECMWF CONTINUES TO INDICATE
MEAGER CONVERGENCE ALONG FRONT SO ABOUT THE ONLY THING GOING FOR
IT IS THE FACT THE FRONT IS MOVING THRU DURING PEAK HEATING TIME.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SUGGEST UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO SLOWLY PUSH WESTWARD
WITH TIME DURING THIS PERIOD WHICH WOULD PUT AT LEAST OUR NORTHERN
COUNTIES IN MORE OF A NWLY FLOW AND PRONE TO MCS ACTIVITY. LATEST
ECMWF IS THE SLOWEST IN RETROGRADING THE UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST
AND AS A RESULT...NOT SHOWING MUCH OF A CHANCE FOR CONVECTION IN
OUR AREA UNTIL LATE THU AND AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES
WILL CONTINUE TO AVERAGE ABOVE NORMAL DURING THIS PERIOD.

SMITH
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1226 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011

CONVECTION RAPIDLY INCREASING ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS THE LAST
COUPLE HOURS. ON THE UP SIDE...CEILINGS HAVE RAPIDLY BEEN MOVING
UP TO THE VFR RANGE BEHIND THE STORMS...BUT WILL LIKELY BE
TEMPORARY MVFR CONDITIONS AS THE STORMS PASS. GIVEN THE FREQUENCY
THAT CONVECTION IS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT...HAVE ATTEMPTED TO
TIME A COUPLE DRY PERIODS THIS EVENING...PRIMARILY FROM KSPI-KDEC.
WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR SOME MVFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES OVERNIGHT.
CONDITIONS IMPROVING EVERYWHERE SUNDAY MORNING...BEHIND A WARM
FRONT PUSHING OUT OF THE AREA.
