What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Apr 4, 5:30 AM CDT	HAIL 0.75	8 S Martinsville, 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

Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 00:00Z, 10.2 hours before the alert went out and 126 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.

343 AM CDT MON APR 4 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 320 AM CDT MON APR 4 2011
COLD FRONT ON THE WAY THROUGH CENTRAL ILLINOIS THIS MORNING WITH
LIMITED CONVECTION...SHOWERS...AND PLENTY OF WIND...BOTH IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT AND BEHIND IT. PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT IS
STILL NOT WELL AGREED UPON BY OPERATIONAL MODELS AND WITH PLENTY
OF THE PRECIP BEING BEHIND AND ALONG THE BOUNDARY TO THE SW...WILL
KEEP SOME RATHER SIG POPS IN FOR THE MORNING...BUT REDUCE THEM
CONSIDERABLY IN THE AFTERNOON. MODELS THROUGH THE MED RANGE
ACTUALLY NOT TO MUCH OF A SPREAD AND THE FORECAST IS MORE OR LESS
A BLEND. TIMING DIFFERENCES THAT DO EXIST IN THE THU/THU NIGHT
SYSTEM ARE SUBTLE AND STILL WITHIN THE SAME FCST PD.

SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
BREEZY AND CONSIDERABLY COOLER WITH TEMPS SLOWLY DROPPING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON FOR THE SE...AND REMAINING RATHER STEADY FOR THE
NWRN HALF OF THE FA. WINDY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE BEHIND THE FRONT
WITH A RATHER TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT STILL...AND SUSTAINED AND
GUSTS APPROACHING ADVSY CRITERIA...BUT MOS GUID AND BUF KIT
MOMENTUM XFER KEEPING IT JUST SHY OF HEADLINES. WILL MONITOR
CLOSELY. PRECIP SLOWLY COMING TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST...AND
THOUGH MUCH OF IT SHOULD CLEAR BY 18Z...KEEPING SOME POPS THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON IN THE EAST MOSTLY TO BLEND AND COVER ANY REMNANT
SHOWERS WITH A SLOWING BOUNDARY. TONIGHT COOLER ACROSS THE BOARD
WITH LOWS AT OR JUST BELOW FREEZING.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
SLOW RISE IN TEMPS AGAIN...WITH ALL OPERATIONAL MODELS HINTING AT
A PASSING WAVE JUST NORTH OF CWA FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WED
MORNING. BOTH 00Z ECMWF AND 00Z NAM/WRF KEEP THE PRECIP WELL
NORTH. NOTHING JUST YET IN THE GRIDS...BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN
EYE OUT FOR ACTUAL REPRESENTATION OF THIS PARTICULAR WAVE IN
STRETCHING OUT FLOW WITH A MORE ZONAL LOOK. CURRENTLY OFF PAC
COAST...WILL HAVE TO SEE IF SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS PERSIST. NEXT
ISSUE HOLDS OFF UNTIL THURSDAY. FASTER AND MORE AGGRESSIVE GFS
MAINTAINS RAIN AFTER 12Z...ECMWF HOLDING OFF UNTIL AFTER 18Z. TEND
TO LIKE THE ECMWF AS THE NAM/WRF IS ALSO COMING IN ON THE SIDE OF
THE SLOWER SOLN. EITHER WAY...THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THURSDAY
EVENING RATHER WET IN THE MODEL REPRESENTATIONS BUT HAVE TENDENCY
TO BELIEVE THAT THE LLVL MOISTURE IS OVERDONE...AGAIN. WHEREAS THE
RAIN IS MORE AND MORE LIKELY...THE QPF IS STILL SUSPECT...AND THE
FASTER SOLN A LITTLE LESS LIKELY WITH PLENTY OF DRY AIR IN
PLACE...AND THE SRLY FLOW BEFORE THE SYSTEM APPROACH IS MORE
SWRLY...NOT STRAIGHT OFF THE GULF.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1218 PM CDT SUN APR 3 2011...FOR THE 06Z TAFS

THE LINE OF STORMS HAS GENERALLY DIMINISHED AS IT HAS ARRIVED IN
OUR WESTERN CWA. WILL STILL KEEP A 2 HOUR WINDOW OF TEMPO FOR MVFR
CIGS/VIS AS THE COLD FRONT PROGRESSES EAST. THE LINE IS BROKEN
INTO SEGMENTS...SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH THAT EACH SITE WILL
REACH THAT MVFR CRITERIA. THE STRONGEST STORM APPROACHING THE AREA
IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT SPI BY 0630Z AND DEC BY 0745Z...IF IT HOLDS
TOGETHER. STRONG WINDS WOULD BE THE MAIN HAZARD...WITH HAIL POSSIBLE.

WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT ARE LOOKING STRONGER THAN PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST. WE COULD SEE WINDS OVER 30 KT AT ALL TAF SITES BY 12Z-
15Z...ESPECIALLY INCREASING AS MIXING EXTENDS INTO THE LOWER
TROPOSPHERE.

MVFR CLOUDS MAY LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY...BUT PRECIP
SHOULD DIMINISH BY 17Z-18Z. WE KEPT VCSH TOMORROW MORNING...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW THAT MEASURABLE PRECIP WILL OCCUR VERY FAR BEHIND
THE LINE OF STORMS.

NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS SHOULD DIMINISH BELOW 20KT AFTER 00Z MONDAY EVENING.
