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, Jun 4, 7:20 PM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
720 PM EDT SAT JUN 4 2011

.UPDATE...
THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS OUR REGION TONIGHT AND
THEN STALL ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY BY LATE
SUNDAY.  THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL DRIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS OUR REGION
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.   A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY BRINGING A RETURN TO HOT HUMID AND DRY WEATHER.

THE FRONTAL SYSTEM TO OUR NORTH WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS OUR REGION
THURSDAY AND STALL ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...
MAIN FOCUS WILL BE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AS COLD FRONT MOVES INTO OUR
REGION.  RADAR LOOPS SHOWS THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHERN
ILLINOIS.  WITH A VERY HOT AND HUMID AIR MASS ACROSS OUR REGION
LAPS SHOWS CAPES OF 3000 TO 4000 J/KG CAP IS NEARLY BROKEN AS WE ARE
CLOSE TO CONVECTIVE TEMP.  SPC WAS IS IN THE PROCESS OF ISSUING A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR NORTHERN INDIANA.   WITH THE FREEZING
LEVEL CLOSE TO 15 THOUSAND FEET MAIN THREAT APPEARS TO BE GUSTY
WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL.  ALTHOUGH HAIL IS STILL POSSIBLE.  WILL
MENTION THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS IN GRIDS ACROSS OUR FAR NORTH
FOR NOW.

RAPID REFRESH SHOWS NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO OUR NORTHERN
HALF THIS EVENING AND THEN ACTIVITY DYING OUT OVERNIGHT.  WILL RAISE
POPS TO 50 PERCENT ACROSS OUR FAR NORTH AND LOWER CHANCE POPS MOST
OTHER SECTIONS...EXCEPT SLIGHT CHANCE FAR SOUTH.  WITH THUNDERSTORMS
DIMINISHING LATE TONIGHT SLIGHT CHANCE SHOULD SUFFICE AFTER
MIDNIGHT.  MAV/MET BLEND SEEMS REASONABLE ON TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MAIN FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AS FRONT MEANDERS
ACROSS OUR REGION.  MODELS INDICATE THE REMAINS OF ANOTHER MCS MAY
AFFECT THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF OUR REGION SUNDAY MORNING.
NAM/SREF INDICATES ANY ACTIVITY SHOULD RETREAT INTO OUR SOUTH SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR MOVING IN...BELIEVE SPC DAY
RISK MAY BE A LITTLE TOO FAR NORTH...SO WILL SCALE IT BACK TO KEEP
IT JUST SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF INDY ON SUNDAY.

FRONT WILL BE NEAR STATIONARY ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER
OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES.   MODELS HINT AT POSSIBLE PRECIP ACROSS OUR SOUTH AND WEST
AND WILL LEAN THAT WAY IN FORECAST.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL START MOVING NORTHEAST
ACROSS OUR REGION AND GIVING US AT LEAST CHANCE POPS.  FOR SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY MAV/MET BLEND SEEMS REASONABLE ON TEMPERATURES.

ON TUESDAY WITH WARM FRONT BACK TO OUR NORTH AND THE UPPER RIDGE
BUILDING AGAIN ACROSS OUR REGION...LOOKS LIKE A RETURN TO VERY
HOT...HUMID BUT DRY WEATHER.  NEW MEX TEMPERATURES ARE ABOUT 3 TO 4
DEGREES WARMER THAN HPC AND WILL LEAN THAT WAY IN GRIDS.

WEDNESDAY WILL ALSO BE HOT AND HUMID AND DRY AS FRONT WILL BE WELL
TO OUR NORTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MODELS MOVE A COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR REGION LATE THURSDAY AND
BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR ENTIRE REGION.
THIS TIME IT APPEARS FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.

LATEST MODELS SHOW MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS OUR NORTHEAST AND
SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS OUR SOUTH.  WILL GO THAT WAY WITH
FORECAST.

WITH FRONT STALLING ACROSS OUR SOUTH...HPC AND MEX MIN TEMPERATURES
MAY BE A BIT TOO COOL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.  WILL GO 4 TO 5 DEGREES
WARMER. WITH A STRONG UPPER RIDGE REMAINING OVER THE OHIO VALLEY MEX
MAX TEMPERATURES MAY BE A BIT TOO WARM TOO.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR 050000Z TAFS/...

OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...EXPECT SOME MVFR FOG AROUND
SUNRISE...OTHERWISE VFR EXPECTED.

MULTIPLE ISSUES EARLY IN THE PERIOD MAKE CONFIDENCE LOW FOR SOME
TAFS. CONVECTION WILL IMPACT KLAF FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS WITH
LOCAL IFR POSSIBLE AND GUSTS OVER 25KT.

QUESTION IS HOW FAR SOUTH THIS CONVECTION WILL MAKE IT. NOT
CONFIDENT IT WILL MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO KIND WITH WARM AIR ALOFT IN
PLACE...SO WILL GO WITH CB THERE FOR NOW. WILL WATCH CLOSELY. ALSO
AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IS WORKING TOWARD KIND AND MAY CAUSE WINDS
TO SHIFT PREMATURELY BY 01Z. WILL WATCH THIS CLOSELY TOO. THUS
UNCERTAINTY IN FORECAST IS HIGHEST AT KIND.

AT SOUTHERN SITES WILL KEEP ONLY CB MENTION AS CONVECTION SHOULD
HAVE A HARD TIME REACHING THERE. ON SUNDAY MORE CONVECTION MAY
DEVELOP AROUND THE FRONT AT KHUF/KBMG...BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO
MENTION THAT FAR OUT.

EXPECT SOME MVFR FOG TO FORM TOWARD SUNRISE WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
IN PLACE. THIS WILL BURN OFF QUICKLY.

WINDS WILL BECOME NORTH AT ALL SITES OVERNIGHT AS FRONT SINKS PAST
THE SITES.
