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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
325 PM EDT WED JUN 22 2011

.SHORT TERM...THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT

MAIN CONCERNS ARE IN THE NEAR TERM WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
538 IN EFFECT THROUGH 23Z FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FA. AS OF
19Z...A BROKEN LINE OF NON-SEVERE CONVECTION WAS ALIGNED FROM NORTH
TO SOUTH FROM NEAR GRISSOM TO JUST EAST OF WARSAW AND THREE RIVERS.
THIS ACTIVITY DEVELOPED ALONG A SFC TROUGH TIED TO A STACKED LOW
NEAR LA CROSSE WISCONSIN. UNLIKE YESTERDAY...SUFFICIENT SHEAR AND
STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW FOR SUSTAINABLE UPDRAFTS IS PRESENT...PER
A MID/UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK PIVOTING NEWD THROUGH THE OH
VALLEY...WITH EFFECTIVE DEEP SHEAR VALUES ON THE ORDER OF 40-50
KNOTS. HOWEVER...MEAGER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND EXIT OF
YESTERDAY/S RICH LOW LVL THETA-E AIRMASS HAS ONLY SUPPORTED
MLCAPE/S NEAR 1000 J/KG THIS AFTN EAST OF THIS SFC TROUGH.
UPDRAFTS HAVE STRUGGLED SO FAR GIVEN THIS AND THE EXIT OF BETTER
DYNAMICS ON NOSE OF MID LEVEL JET. POTENTIAL FURTHER
DESTABILIZATION ALONG/EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 69 CORRIDOR...AND
SLIGHTLY BETTER SHEAR MAY SUPPORT A MORE CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HERE BTW 20-23Z. THE MAIN THREAT CONTINUES TO
BE DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW...WITH WOLCOTT
PROFILER SHOWING 30-40 KNOTS 0-2 KM AND 40-50 KNOTS 2-4 KM. THIS
CONVECTION SHOULD EXIT TO THE EAST BY 23/00Z.
OTHERWISE...INSTABILITY SHOWERS HAVE POPPED UP ACROSS NRN ILLINOIS
WHERE MORNING SUN AIDED IN STEEP LOW LVL LAPSE RATES IN CYCLONIC
FLOW. CONTINUED WITH A CHC MENTION ACROSS THE FA THROUGH THIS
EVENING...BEST CHANCES NW...TO ACCOUNT FOR A FEW ISO SHOWERS
POSSIBLY MAKING IT INTO OUR FA.

THE AFOREMENTIONED STACKED LOW WILL MEANDER EWD INTO THE NRN GREAT
LAKES TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING
UNSEASONABLE COOL AND MOSTLY CLOUDY WX TO THE FA DURING THIS
TIME...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NRN AREAS CLOSER TO THIS CIRCULATION. BROAD
CYCLONIC FLOW...DEEP MOISTURE...AND POTENTIAL VORT MAXES
FUJIWARAING  AROUND THE UPPER LOW SUPPORTS CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS
DURING THIS TIME...HIGHEST IN THE NORTH. DID ADD SLIGHT CHC FOR
THUNDER IN THE FAR SE THU AFTN GIVEN PROGGED STEEP LOW LVL LAPSE
RATES AND POSSIBLE WEAK INSTABILITY.

&&

.LONG TERM...

FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

UPPER LOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WILL CONTINUE TO FILL AND
MOVE OFF TO THE NORTHEAST FRIDAY. COOLER NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THIS
SYSTEM WILL BRING BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA FRIDAY AND
FRIDAY NIGHT. LINGERING SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE FRIDAY
MORNING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...AS TROF AXIS SWINGS EAST
OF THE AREA AROUND THE LOW. DECIDED TO ADD LOW CHANCE POP TO THE
FRIDAY PERIOD. SEEMS TO BE SOME CONTINUITY WITH RECENT MODEL RUNS
FOR ENOUGH SYNOPTIC SUPPORT FOR A FEW SHOWERS...ALBEIT ISOLATED AND
LIGHT.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST ON SATURDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY WARMER...BUT STILL BELOW NORMAL...WITH
HIGHS IN THE 70S. UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL BY SATURDAY
NIGHT...AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ALONG
THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY BEGINS TO SLOWLY LIFT NORTHWARD. MODELS BEGIN
TO DIVERGE AT THIS POINT REGARDING THE NORTHWARD EXTENT OF THE FRONT
AND ANY RESULTANT PRECIP. RECENT 12Z GFS SHOWS THE FRONT LIFTING
FURTHER NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA SUNDAY AND RETREATING SOUTHWARD
AGAIN ON TUESDAY. PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS KEEP THE FRONT SUPPRESSED
FURTHER SOUTH THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD.

H5 S/W PROGGED TO MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ALONG
THE FRONT INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY REGION. PREVIOUS
GFS RUN ALONG WITH 00Z ECMWF KEEP THIS ENERGY SUPPRESSED FURTHER
SOUTH ALONG THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY...WHILE LATEST 12Z GFS IS FURTHER
NORTH. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP FCST DRY SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT
GIVEN MODEL INCONSISTENCIES.

NEXT SYSTEM OF INTEREST WILL BE A TROF PROGGED TO MOVE EASTWARD
ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER MONDAY AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY TUESDAY.
THIS WILL DROP A WEAK COLD FRONT/TROF THROUGH THE AREA SOMETIME
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. DECIDED TO ADD SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TUESDAY
AND TUESDAY NIGHT MAINLY FOR COLLABORATION. MODELS ARE IN DECENT
AGREEMENT FOR TROF/FROPA DURING THIS TIME FRAME...BUT WILL
DEFINITELY NEED REFINED AND ADJUSTED AS MODELS CONVERGE ON A
SOLUTION.

NO MAJOR CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES...WITH A GENERAL WARMING TREND TO
NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD. WENT A TOUCH COOLER FOR
FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AS UPPER LOW PULLS OUT OF
THE AREA.&&

.AVIATION... /18Z TAFS /

SFC TROUGH HAS ACCELERATED THROUGH SBN WITH PRIMARILY VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTN HERE. A LINE
OF BROKEN CONVECTION JUST WEST OF FWA SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE
TERMINAL BTW 19-21Z. BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WITH THIS
LINE OF CONVECTION. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY
PREVAIL THIS AFTN AND EARLY THIS EVENING AT FWA AS WELL. A STRATO-
CU DECK...ASSOCIATED WITH A STACKED LOW THAT IS TRACKING TOWARDS
THE NRN GREAT LAKES...WILL SPIN INTO THE AREA TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW. LOWER IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AT SBN FOR A
TIME...WITH MAINLY MVFR CIGS ANTICIPATED AT FWA. GUSTY SSW
