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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
624 PM CDT FRI APR 15 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 205 PM CDT FRI APR 15 2011

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
MAIN LOW IS NEARLY VERTICALLY STACKED OVER THE KANSAS CITY AREA.
MAIN ACTIVITY BOUNDARY OF CONSEQUENCE FOR CENTRAL IL ARCS EASTWARD
FROM THE LOW TO JUST WEST OF QUINCY...THEN SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN
MO. CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING ALONG/AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY...AND
EXPECT SEVERAL LINES OR CLUSTERS TO AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. INSTABILITY IS INCREASING OVER WESTERN IL AS FILTERED
SUNSHINE UNDER THE COLD POOL ALOFT ADDS TO MLCAPE VALUES. LOW LEVEL
HELICITY AND EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR IS ALSO QUITE FAVORABLE FOR
ROTATING STORMS THIS EVENING. MOST OF THE STORMS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF
THE AREA BY 06Z AS THE SURFACE/UPPER LOW MOVES TO NORTHEAST MO AND
THE SURFACE BOUNDARY ROTATES NORTHWARD INTO NORTHERN IL. THERE WILL
STILL BE SOME WRAP-AROUND SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST
EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGH POPS TONIGHT
AND HAVE SCATTERED WORDING FOR SATURDAY.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
LONGER RANGE MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL REMAIN
OVER THE GENERAL AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL GO UP
INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE
FRONT HOLDS OVER IL AND LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS AND MOVES
EAST/NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT THROUGH NORTHERN IL AND OVER NORTHERN
LAKE MI BY 12Z WEDNESDAY. THIS LOW SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH
THE FRONT SOUTHWARD...SO AFTER SOME CHANCE POPS FOR LINGERING
SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY...RAIN CHANCES DECREASE BELOW MENTIONABLE
VALUES.
