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

Lincoln, IL (KILX), launched 12:00Z, 1.7 hours before the alert went out and 93 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 6:33 AM CDT, 2 hours 7 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
633 AM CDT WED JUL 10 2013

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 204 AM CDT WED JUL 10 2013

ONE MORE DAY OF POTENTIAL STORM CHANCES...BEFORE AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER ARRIVES ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY

06Z/1AM SURFACE MAP SHOWS LOW PRESSURE OVER LAKE SUPERIOR...WITH
TRAILING COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS EASTERN IOWA
INTO FAR NORTHERN KANSAS. ALOFT...VIGOROUS SHORT-WAVE IS EVIDENT
ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY OVER MINNESOTA...WHILE A WEAKER WAVE IS
NOTED OVER NEBRASKA/KANSAS. CONVECTION DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
HAS BEEN TIED TO THE SOUTHERN WAVE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A 30KT LLJ
FLOWING NORTHEASTWARD FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. RESULTING
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CURRENTLY OVER NORTHEAST KANSAS IS EXPECTED TO
TRACK E/SE INTO MISSOURI DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS...STAYING OFF
TO THE W/SW OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS. MEANWHILE...WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP FURTHER NORTHEAST INTO
CENTRAL ILLINOIS WITHIN THE WEAK LLJ AXIS. LATEST RADAR IMAGERY
SHOWS CONVECTION BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO
SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS...AND EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE INTO THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS. MODELS HAVE BEEN HANDLING CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT/EVOLUTION POORLY FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...AND THE
00Z JUL 10 SUITE IS NO EXCEPTION. WILL THEREFORE RELY MAINLY ON
LATEST SATELLITE/RADAR DATA AND CONSISTENCY FOR THE IMMEDIATE
SHORT-TERM FORECAST. AS SUCH...THINK SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN
TWO-THIRDS OF THE KILX CWA THIS MORNING. AS COLD FRONT SAGS
SOUTHWARD TO NEAR THE I-72 CORRIDOR BY MIDDAY...RAIN THREAT WILL
ESSENTIALLY COME TO AN END ALONG AND NORTH OF A RUSHVILLE TO
BLOOMINGTON-NORMAL LINE THIS AFTERNOON. FURTHER SOUTH...SEVERAL
HIGH-RES MODELS ARE HINTING THAT AT LEAST A BROKEN LINE OF
CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP IN THE HIGHLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS ALONG/SOUTH
OF THE BOUNDARY. GIVEN HIGH CAPE VALUES OF AROUND 4000J/KG AND
SLIGHT COOLING ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH MINNESOTA SHORT-WAVE TRACKING
INTO THE GREAT LAKES...THINK THIS IS A REASONABLE SOLUTION. AS A
RESULT...WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE BOARD DURING THE
MORNING HOURS...THEN WILL FOCUS LIKELY POPS ALONG/SOUTH OF A PARIS
TO TAYLORVILLE LINE THIS AFTERNOON. WILL BE ANOTHER WARM AND HUMID
DAY...AS COOLER/DRIER AIR MASS WILL INITIALLY BE RATHER SLOW TO
ARRIVE BEHIND FRONT. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 80S ACROSS
THE NORTH...TO THE LOWER 90S SOUTH OF I-70.

MOST MODELS DROP FRONT AND ANY LINGERING PRECIP CHANCES SOUTH OF
THE CWA BY EVENING...HOWEVER 00Z NAM NOW FEATURES A WEAK WAVE
ALONG THE BOUNDARY THAT BRIEFLY IMPEDES ITS SOUTHWARD PROGRESS.
SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST RUN THE WAVE HAS APPEARED ON...AND THERE
DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY SUPPORTING UPPER SUPPORT FOR IT...WILL
GENERALLY DISREGARD THIS SOLUTION. WILL HOWEVER HANG ON TO JUST A
SLIGHT CHANCE POP SOUTH OF I-70 INTO THE EVENING...IN CASE
AFTERNOON STORMS HAVE NOT DROPPED SOUTH/EAST OF THE CWA BY 00Z.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE GREAT LAKES FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...PROVIDING A COOL/DRY NORTHEASTERLY FLOW. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY REACH THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S BOTH
DAYS...WHILE OVERNIGHT LOWS DROP INTO THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S.
IN ADDITION...RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE CONSIDERABLY LOWER.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

GREAT LAKES UPPER TROUGH WILL SHIFT INTO NEW ENGLAND OVER THE
WEEKEND...WHILE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE MIDWEST. WHILE SURFACE
RIDGING WILL MAINTAIN AN E/SE LOW-LEVEL FLOW THROUGH
SUNDAY...RISING UPPER HEIGHTS AND FULL JULY SUNSHINE WILL QUICKLY
MODIFY THE AIR MASS. AS A RESULT...HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB
BACK INTO THE UPPER 80S BY SUNDAY. AS SURFACE RIDGE SHIFTS FURTHER
AWAY...A DEVELOPING SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BRING THE HUMIDITY BACK
INTO THE PICTURE EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH HIGH TEMPS REACHING THE 90
DEGREE MARK AND DEWPOINTS RISING INTO THE 70S...HEAT INDEX VALUES
WILL LIKELY APPROACH 100 DEGREES AGAIN BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY. RAIN
CHANCES WILL BE SLIM TO NONE THROUGH THE EXTENDED AND BEYOND...AS
E/W ORIENTED UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE MIDWEST WILL KEEP MAIN STORM
TRACK AND BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP WELL TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF
CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 632 AM CDT WED JUL 10 2013

MAIN CONCERN WITH THE TAFS WILL BE WITH THE FIRST 6-12 HOURS OF
THE FORECAST PERIOD. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
A THREAT...BEFORE THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT. 11Z SURFACE OBS
SHOWING THE FRONT GENERALLY ALONG A KUIN-KC75-KORD LINE...SO THE
THREAT OF STORMS AROUND KPIA/KBMI WILL BE DIMINISHING OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE HOURS. HAVE LINGERED THE RAIN CHANCES LONGEST AROUND
KCMI. BEHIND THE FRONT...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL TREND MORE NORTHERLY
AFTER SUNSET. SKIES MAINLY SHOULD BE CLEAR AFTER SUNSET...BUT
925-850 MB HUMIDITY PLOTS SUGGESTING SOME LINGERING STRATOCUMULUS
AROUND 4000 FEET NEAR KCMI INTO THE NIGHT...DUE TO WIND FLOW OFF
LAKE MICHIGAN.
