The radar

The Quad Cities radar (KDVN), 80 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:35 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Davenport, (KDVN), launched 12:00Z, 10.5 hours before the alert went out and 77 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.

NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 28, 3:24 PM CDT, 2 hours 8 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 28, 3:24 PM CDT, 2 hours 8 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
324 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013
COMPLICATED WEATHER PATTERN IN GENERAL MADE MORE COMPLICATED IN
THE MODELS WITH A STRUGGLE WITH THE PATTERN SHIFT OVERALL.
HOWEVER...FOR ALL THE NUANCES WITH THE WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA...THE ONE AGREED UPON PORTION IN ALL THE OPERATIONAL
MODELS IS THAT CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL BE RATHER WET THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK. WARM FRONT WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE CWA...LEAVING ILX
IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH WARM TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS IN A RATHER MUGGY
AIRMASS. THIS WARMTH AND MOISTURE WILL HELP TO FUEL ANY MCS REMNANTS/BOUNDARIES
THAT MOVE INTO THE FA...IN ADDITION TO THE OVERALL FRONT SCHEDULED
TO MOVE INTO THE MIDWEST AT MIDWEEK. WITH SWRLY FLOW ALOFT...THE
FRONT IS GOING TO LOSE ITS FORWARD MOMENTUM...SLOW MOVING...AND
SLOW TO EXIT. AS A RESULT...ANY WAVES THAT EJECT OUT OF THE SW AND
ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY INVOF WHEREVER THE FRONT
LANDS...WHICH WILL NOT ONLY BE DIFFICULT TO PIN...FRONT WILL ALSO
END UP GETTING INFLUENCED GREATLY BY MESOSCALE INFLUENCES/COLD
POOLS/OUTFLOWS AS WELL. WITH GROUND ALREADY VERY SATURATED FROM
PREVIOUS RAINS...THE FLASH FLOODING THREAT MAY GET A BREAK
TOMORROW FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS...BUT IT WILL BE BACK BY
THURSDAY.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH
CONVECTIVE INITIATION LIKELY TO THE WEST IN NRN MO JUST ACROSS THE
MISS RIVER VALLEY. BOTH RUC AND NMM/WRF KEEPING SOME
ACTIVITY...THOUGH THE RUC/RAP IS ACTUALLY CONFINING MUCH OF THE
ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH. THE 4KM WRF/NMM DEVELOPS MORE OF A LINEAR
COMPLEX THAT EVENTUALLY MOVES THROUGH THE FA TO THE SE AND WEAKENS
AS IT TRAVERSES THE CWA. SHOWER THREAT FINALLY DIMINISHES BRIEFLY
FOR WEDNESDAY...THOUGH THE THREAT OF ANY INTERACTION WITH THE WARM
FRONT TO THE NORTH RESULTS IN POPS ACROSS THE NRN TIER OF THE
STATE. WARM TEMPS...SOUTHERLY WINDS...AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN THE
BOUNDARY LAYER WILL PUSH HEAT INDEX VALUES INTO THE UPPER 80S/NEAR
90. WINDS WILL BE RATHER BREEZY AND HELP TO COUNTER SOME OF THE
EFFECTS...THOUGH CAUTION SHOULD BE USED BY ANYONE OUTDOORS
TOMORROW.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
THE WESTERN TROF DIGS IN...AMPLIFYING THE WAVE PATTERN OVER THE
CONUS AND LEAVING THE UPPER MIDWEST IN SWRLY FLOW...THROUGH
THURSDAY...WITH WARM TEMPS YET AGAIN ON THURSDAY. TEMPS IN THE NW
SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT DAMPENED HOWEVER...BY CLOUD COVER FROM
APPROACHING BOUNDARY. IN ADDITION...DIURNAL CURVE WILL LIKELY BE
SHATTERED BY THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY RUINING THE STEADY CLIMB OF
TEMPERATURES IN ANY ONE SPOT AHEAD OF THAT BOUNDARY. FORECAST
CONFIDENCE ABOUT DETAILS COMPLICATED WITH THE ELONGATED TROF IN
THE ECMWF/NAM IS PROVIDING A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SOLUTION WITH THE
SFC SYSTEM THAN THE NAM. THAT BEING SAID...THE ECMWF IS LOOKING A
BIT MORE LIKE THE GFS IN THE 12Z RUN. THOUGH EVERYONE IS IN
AGREEMENT ABOUT ENTERING A PROLONGED PERIOD OF PRECIP THROUGH DAY
5...THE DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS WILL IMPACT THE DYNAMICS AND
ASSOCIATED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. FORECASTING ONSET OF THE
HEAVIEST PRECIP ALONG THE APPROACHING FRONT. IN SUMMARY...THE RAIN
IS NOT OVER AS LONG AS THAT FRONT WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM GETS SLOWED
BY PARALLEL FLOW ALOFT.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1244 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

CONVECTION FROM EARLY THIS MORNING HAS CLEARED THE CENTRAL
ILLINOIS TERMINALS...LEAVING BEHIND A 4000-8000FT MID-LEVEL
OVERCAST. CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO THIN THIS AFTERNOON...ALLOWING
THE ATMOSPHERE TO DESTABILIZE AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTIES AS TO EXACTLY WHERE STORMS WILL
FIRE...BUT MOST LIKELY SCENARIO PLACES THEM FURTHER
NORTH/NORTHWEST NEAR STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS IOWA INTO
FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS. HRRR HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY SHOWING
CONVECTION DEVELOPING SOUTH OF THE FRONT FROM NORTHERN MISSOURI
E/NE TO THE I-80 CORRIDOR AFTER 20Z FOR THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS.
STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY DEVELOP/SHIFT FURTHER EASTWARD
ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL ILLINOIS THIS EVENING. HAVE THEREFORE
INCLUDED VCTS AT KPIA AND KBMI BETWEEN 00Z AND 05Z. FURTHER SOUTH
AT THE REMAINING TAF SITES...HAVE FEATURED THUNDER BETWEEN 02Z AND
09Z. WINDS WILL BE QUITE STRONG/GUSTY THIS AFTERNOON...AS LOW-LEVEL
JET MIXES TO THE SURFACE. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL GUST TO BETWEEN 25
AND 30KT AT TIMES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...BEFORE DIMINISHING TO
BETWEEN 10 AND 15KT TONIGHT.
