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

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 22, 3:06 PM CDT, 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 22, 3:06 PM CDT, 18 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
306 PM CDT SUN MAY 22 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 306 PM CDT SUN MAY 22 2011

ACTIVE WEATHER DAY BEGINNING TO UNFOLD ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS...
AND IT SHOULD LINGER FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS. AN UPSTREAM COLD
FRONT FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST TO THE PLAINS WILL SINK INTO THE AREA
TOMORROW AND STALL OUT...BRINGING PERIODIC SHOWER/STORM CHANCES TO
THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. MAIN FORECAST CONCERN CENTERS ON
TRYING TO TIME PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND ANY SEVERE AND/OR
FLOODING RISK.

12Z MODELS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH MOST FEATURES EXPECTED TO
IMPACT FORECAST AREA OVER NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. HOWEVER...THE
POSITION OF THE FRONT WILL BE CRITICAL TO DETERMINE WHERE THE
PRECIPITATION WILL EVENTUALLY FALL. THE FACT THAT THE FRONT WILL BE
MODULATED BY DAILY CONVECTION MAKES FORECAST SPECIFICITY VERY
DIFFICULT.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VIGOROUS UPPER LOW OVER
THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE NORTHEAST AND OPEN
UP OVER THE NEXT 24/36 HOURS. THIS WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT INTO THE
FORECAST AREA MONDAY. FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE SHEAR/INSTABILITY AHEAD OF
THE FRONT TONIGHT WILL CONTINUE THE ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.
THE MAIN CONCERN FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE LINE OF STORMS CURRENTLY FIRING FROM EASTERN IOWA TO EASTERN
KANSAS.

THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY...ONCE IT STALLS IN THE FORECAST AREA...WILL
CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS AS DISTURBANCES RIDE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. AT THIS
TIME...THE MOST NOTABLE STORM CHANCES APPEAR TO BE MONDAY NIGHT
AND AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...SHOWER/STORM CHANCES
EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO THURSDAY WITH THE WAVE ARRIVING WEDNESDAY.
THEN...WHILE MODEL/ENSEMBLE SPREAD IS STILL SIGNIFICANT...THE BEST
MODEL CONSENSUS SUGGESTS A QUIETER WEATHER PATTERN FOR FRIDAY AND
THE WEEKEND.

BAK
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1211 PM CDT SUN MAY 22 2011

LITTLE CHANGE MADE TO PREVIOUS TAF SET. MAIN CONCERN REMAINS WITH
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
INDIVIDUAL STORMS INITIALLY WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WINDS
OVER 50 KNOTS AS WELL AS HAIL...THEN WILL TRANSITION MORE INTO A
SOLID LINE AS THE STORMS PUSH FURTHER EAST ACROSS THE TAF SITES.
MOST LIKELY TIME FRAME FOR THE WORST OF THE STORMS APPEARS TO BE
AS EARLY AS 23-24Z AROUND KPIA/KSPI...RANGING TO AROUND 02-03Z
AROUND KDEC/KCMI. ONCE THE LINE PASSES...VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL. INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT LATE IN THE PERIOD SHOULD
ALLOW GUSTS TO REACH 20-25 KNOTS AGAIN BY LATE MONDAY MORNING.
