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 flash flood 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, 1.8 hours before the alert went out and 143 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Apr 10, 6:53 PM CDT, 1 hour 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 6:53 PM CDT, 1 hour 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
653 PM CDT WED APR 10 2013

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 316 PM CDT WED APR 10 2013

ACTIVE WEATHER ONGOING WITH STRONG STORMS IN EXTREME EASTERN IL
AND THUNDERSTORMS IN WEST CENTRAL IL. THE BIGGEST QUESTION FOR
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WILL BE THE MOVEMENT OF LOW PRESSURE WEST
OF STL AND THE ASSOCIATED BOUNDARY THAT MOVED THROUGH MUCH OF
CENTRAL IL AND PARTS OF EAST CENTRAL IL THIS MORNING.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE ALL OVER THE PLACE THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS AS
COLDER AIR MOVES IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS...FOLLOWED BY A WARM UP
LATER IN THE WEEK AND THEN A POTENTIAL COOL DOWN AGAIN BY MIDWEEK.
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED LOW AND COLD
FRONT...SIMILAR TO THE ONE WE ARE EXPERIENCING TONIGHT-FRIDAY...
IS EXPECTED FROM ABOUT TUESDAY THROUGH MIDWEEK.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT

THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE TRACK OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE LOW TONIGHT...WHICH WILL MAKE A HUGE
DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURES AND POTENTIAL FOR STRONG/SVR STORMS. AT
THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE THE NAM AND LOCAL WRF HAVE THE PREFERRED
SOLUTION WITH THE FRONT CREEPING A LITTLE BIT TO THE NORTH AND THE
LOW TRACKING REAL CLOSE TO SPI AFTER MIDNIGHT AND JUST NORTH OF
CMI-DNV BY DAYBREAK. THIS WOULD KEEP THE BIGGEST THREAT FOR
STRONG/SVR STORMS ROUGHLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-55.

THURSDAY MORNING THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR THE INDIANA
BORDER...SO WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF T-STORMS GOING IN THE MORNING
IN EASTERN IL...WITH A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN WEST CENTRAL IL AND
EAST OF A PIA-DEC-EFFINGHAM LINE THROUGH EARLY EVENING IN THE LOW
LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW AND SHORTWAVE LIFTING THROUGH THE UPPER
MIDWEST.

CYCLONIC FLOW IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER MUCH OF THE AREA UNTIL
EARLY SATURDAY KEEPING CLOUDS AND COOL TEMPERATURES OVER CENTRAL
AND EASTERN IL. COULD SEE A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS NORTH OF A GBG-PIA-
BMI LINE FRIDAY...OTHERWISE THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE DRY.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

HIGH PRESSURE ON SATURDAY WILL GIVE US A BRIEF BREAK IN THE
RAINFALL. HOWEVER...INCREASING WARM ADVECTION IN THE LOW AND MID
LEVELS AND A ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BRING A RETURN TO SHOWERS
SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TOWARD SUNDAY
MORNING.

BY EARLY NEXT WEEK OUR UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL BACK TO A
SOUTHWEST FLOW AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO DIG INTO
THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES. THE GFS AND EUROPEAN ARE ACTUALLY FAIRLY
SIMILAR IN DEPICTING THIS SCENARIO...ALTHOUGH THE EURO IS A BIT
MORE AMPLIFIED.

THE BIG QUESTION FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY IS WHERE WILL A
NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT SET UP. BOTH THE GFS AND EUROPEAN INDICATE
THAT THE FRONT WILL SETTLE INTO CENTRAL IL MONDAY MORNING AND
REMAIN OVER THE AREA UNTIL AT LEAST TUESDAY. THE GFS IS QUICKER
BRINGING OUT AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LATER TUESDAY...WHILE THE
EURO HOLDS OFF UNTIL WEDNESDAY. THE BOTTOM LINE FOR NOW IS THAT
DUE TO THE FRONT IN THE VICINITY WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 652 PM CDT WED APR 10 2013

COMPLEX TAF FORECAST THIS EVENING FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS WITH
PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND T-STORMS ANTICIPATED IN ASSOCIATION WITH A
LOW IN EAST CENTRAL MO AND A WEST-EAST FRONT EXTENDING ENE NEAR THE I-70
CORRIDOR. NEARLY ALL OF THE TAF SITES HAVE ONGOING T-STORMS WITH A
LINE/SEGMENTS OF STRONG STORMS APPROACHING CENTRAL IL FROM THE MS
RIVER VALLEY AND ANOTHER AREA IN EASTERN MO JUST AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOW IFR CATEGORY MUCH OF THE
NIGHT DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE LOW TRACK AND WEST-EAST FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...ALONG WITH T-STORMS IN THE VICINITY ACROSS CENTRAL IL
UNTIL JUST BEFORE DAYBREAK.

THE COLD FRONT WITH THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE IL/IN BORDER
AROUND DAYBREAK...ALLOWING THE CEILINGS TO IMPROVE TOWARD MVFR
CIGS THURSDAY MORNING. COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS FROM PIA-BMI IN THE
LOW LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW FROM MID-AFTERNOON UNTIL THE END OF THE
TAF PERIOD.
