The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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.

What forecasters said that day

Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 8:47 PM CDT, 3 hours 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
847 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 845 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2011

FORECAST UPDATED AT 8 PM TO REMOVE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
IN SOUTHERN 6 COUNTIES WHICH EXPIRED AT 8 PM. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH CONTINUES UNTIL MIDNIGHT WEST OF PIATT...MOULTRIE AND SHELBY
COUNTIES. ALSO UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCREASE CHANCES OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TO LIKELY OVERNIGHT SE OF I-55. LOWS BY SUNRISE
TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S FROM I-55 NW TO THE
LOWER 70S ALONG AND SE OF I-70.

SCATTERED STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH
VERY HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL CONTINUE AT LEAST ANOTHER
3-4 HOURS ALONG AND SE OF THE IL RIVER. THESE THUNDERSTORMS
EXTEND INTO CENTRAL MO AND MOVING E/NE. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES HAVE
DIMINISHED NW OF THE IL RIVER REST OF TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WHICH LIES NEAR I-72. MODELS PUSH THIS FRONT SE INTO SOUTHEAST
IL NEAR I-70 BY SUNRISE...THEN PUSH SE THROUGH SE IL DURING SAT
MORNING. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OF 1022 MB NORTH OF THE GREAT
LAKES INTO THE DAKOTAS TO RIDGE SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL IL DURING SAT RETURNING DRIER...COOLER AND LESS HUMID
WEATHER.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 642 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2011

MAIN ISSUE WILL BE TIMING CONVECTION INTO THE TAF SITES THIS
EVENING. BASED ON RADAR TIMING TOOLS...THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT
KSPI BETWEEN 00Z AND 02Z AND KDEC BETWEEN 01Z AND 03Z. GIVEN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LIFTING NORTHWARD FROM THE I-70 CORRIDOR...STORMS
WILL TEND TO DISSIPATE AND MAY NOT REACH AS FAR NORTHEAST AS KCMI.
HAVE THEREFORE ONLY GONE WITH VCTS THERE. STORMS MAY AVOID KPIA
AND KBMI AS WELL...BUT HAVE INCLUDED A PERIOD OF LIGHT RAIN WITH
VCTS AT BOTH SITES. CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT AS
COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA. ONCE FRONT PASSES...WINDS WILL
SWITCH TO THE N/NW AND LOW CLOUDS CURRENTLY OVER IOWA WILL SPILL
INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS. HAVE THEREFORE BROUGHT CEILINGS DOWN INTO
THE 1500 TO 2500FT RANGE BEGINNING AT KPIA BY AROUND 08Z THEN
FURTHER EAST TO KCMI BY 15Z. LOW CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR FROM
WEST TO EAST BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 308 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2011

MODELS FAIRLY CONSISTENT AND LOOK SIMILAR IN THE OVERALL UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN AND GENERAL SURFACE FEATURES. MODELS DIFFER AND HAVE
TROUBLES HANDLING THE DETAILS OF WHEN AND WHERE THE PCPN WILL
OCCUR...ESPECIALLY IN THE SHORT TERM OF TONIGHT. LONGER TERM
MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW AN UNSETTLED PATTERN THROUGH NEXT WEEK
BRINGING CHANCES OF STORMS MOST OF THE TIME.

MAIN CONCERNS ARE CHANCES OF PCPN TONIGHT AND THEN AGAIN NEXT
WEEK.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT

BOUNDARY HAS BECOME ACTIVE IN SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS WHERE BEST
CONVERGENCE AND CAPE IS LOCATED AT. NORTHERN AREAS OF CWA ARE
CAPPED BUT LARGE AREA OF PCPN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
SOUTHERN IOWA AND PARTS OF NORTHERN MISSOURI WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
ENE INTO THE NORTHERN THIRD OF ILLINOIS THIS EVENING. AS THIS
SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
LIKELY ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA TONIGHT AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. THE STORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST WILL CONTINUE AS WELL WITH
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE DUE TO THE SLOW MOVEMENT.

THEN BRIEF HIGH PRSS WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY BEFORE THE CHANCES OF PCPN RETURNS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT THAT PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE CWA BUT THEN MOVE BACK NORTH INTO
MISSOURI AT THE END OF THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL BE THE FOCUS OF MORE
SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR THE END OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.
THE CHANCES OF STORMS WILL BE CONFINED TO THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE
CWA AS NOCTURNAL CONVECTION WILL BE THE LIKELY MODE THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

TEMPS SHOULD BE ON THE COOLER SIDE...BELOW NORMAL...DUE TO PCPN
AND CLOUD COVER.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

THE FRONT WILL REMAIN JUST TO THE WEST OF THE CWA AT THE BEGINNING
OF THE PERIOD...BUT SLOWLY INCH EASTWARD DURING THE PERIOD. THIS
WILL INCREASE CHANCES OF PCPN EASTWARD. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF
DRY WEATHER BUT WITH RIDGE TO THE EAST AND CONTINUED SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT...AND FRONTAL SYSTEM TO THE WEST OR OVER THE CWA...PCPN
WILL CONTINUE. FINALLY A LOW PRSS AREA DEVELOPS PUSHES THE FRONT
NORTH THROUGH THE AREA AS A WARM FRONT...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT
WED AND WED NIGHT. CHANCES OF PCPN WILL CONTINUE WITH THIS SYSTEM
PASSAGE. ANOTHER HI PRSS AREA WILL MOVE IN LATER IN THE WEEK AND
BRING DRY WEATHER FOR THUR THROUGH FRIDAY.

TEMPS WILL RETURN TO NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.
