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 00:00Z, 0.8 hours before the alert went out and 180 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, May 9, 7:00 PM EDT, 1 hour 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
700 PM EDT THU MAY 9 2013

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

&&

.SYNOPSIS...

ISSUED AT 246 PM EDT THU MAY 9 2013

A SURFACE LOW FROM SOUTHWEST OF ILLINOIS MERGES WITH A COLD
FRONT FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST. AS A RESULT...PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DOMINATE THE FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY. THAT IS
WHEN A STRONGER...BUT DRY COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO SWEEP ACROSS
CENTRAL INDIANA. IN ITS WAKE...COOLER AND DRY WEATHER WILL PERSIST
INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE
REGION LATE NEXT WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 246 PM EDT THU MAY 9 2013

SPC CONTINUES TO KEEP MOST OF CENTRAL INDIANA UNDER A SLIGHT RISK
FOR SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY ONE OUTLOOK. 850MB
JET HAS WEAKENED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM PREVIOUS MODELS RUNS...THEREFORE
LIMITING THE LIFT WITH THE COLD FRONT AFTER 00Z. ALSO THE WEAK
SCATTERED ACTIVITY WE ARE HAVING THIS AFTERNOON IN THE WARM SECTOR
COULD INHIBIT DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS EVENING. DECENT SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW ALLOWED TEMPS TO WARM INTO THE UPPER 70S EARLIER THIS
AFTERNOON...HOWEVER THESE ARE ALREADY FALLING THANKS TO CLOUDS AND
PRECIPITATION. BEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STILL
APPEARS TO BE LATER THIS EVENING WITH COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE AND HAVE
CONTINUED THE LIKELY POPS ALREADY IN PLACE DURING THIS TIME. SEVERE
THREAT MAY BE SOMEWHAT DIMINISHED BASED ON RECENT TRENDS...HOWEVER
SMALL HAIL AND SOME DAMAGING WINDS AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH ANY
OF THE THUNDERSTORMS IS STILL POSSIBLE. LOWS TONIGHT AROUND 60.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

ISSUED AT 246 PM EDT THU MAY 9 2013

AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS
CENTRAL INDIANA EARLY TOMORROW. INSTABILITY WILL START TO WANE OVER
THE NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE COURSE OF
THE DAY ON FRIDAY. AS A RESULT...SPC SHIFTED THE SLIGHT RISK FOR
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TO WELL EAST OF THE THE IND CWA.
THEREFORE...SLOWLY TRENDED THUNDERSTORMS OUT OF FORECAST FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST...KEEPING THE BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

THERE WILL BE A BRIEF LULL IN ACTIVITY SATURDAY MORNING. A
SECONDARY (MUCH DRIER) COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...TRIGGERING ADDITIONAL RAIN SHOWERS. HOWEVER...MOISTURE
STILL APPEARS LIMITED...SO ANY SHOWERS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE
LIGHT AND SHORT-LIVED. WENT WITH 20-30% POPS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
THEN A DRY FORECAST BY SATURDAY NIGHT...AND ACTUALLY FOR THE REST OF
THE WEEKEND.

DRY COOL WEATHER TO FINISH UP THE WEEKEND IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE ON SATURDAY. STRONG CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE AND A BROAD UPPER
TROUGH WILL BRING MUCH COOLER AIR SOUTH INTO THE OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY.
HIGH TEMPS WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 50S TO NEAR 60 ON SUNDAY WITH
STRONG COLD ADVECTION AND GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

ISSUED AT 224 PM EDT THU MAY 9 2013

AFTER A BIT OF A MORE ACTIVE PERIOD...THE LONG TERM PERIOD IS
LIKELY TO BE CHARACTERIZED BY THE BOTTOMING OUT OF THE WEEKEND
COOL DOWN...FOLLOWED BY A STEADY WARMUP THROUGH NEXT WEEK AFTER A
COOL WEEKEND.

ALLBLEND INITIALIZATION HANDLED THINGS FAIRLY WELL. SHOULD SEE
VERY TRANQUIL WEATHER EARLY IN THE WEEK AS A BROAD AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS THE REGION. LATE IN THE PERIOD...A BOUNDARY
WILL SLOWLY DROP THROUGH THE AREA AND PROVIDE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
THROUGHOUT THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 100000Z TAFS/...

ISSUED AT 650 PM EDT THU MAY 9 2013

UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED DURING THIS TAF PERIOD WITH
SEVERAL PERIOD OF MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.

RADAR TRENDS SHOW CONVECTION OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS POISED TO PUSH
INTO CENTRAL INDIANA DURING THE FIRST THREE HOURS OF THE TAF
PERIOD. THE STORMS SHOULD NOT GROW IN INTENSITY AS THE ATMOSPHERE
SHOULD BE MORE STABLE DUE TO THE EARLIER ROUND OF RAIN AND LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING. STILL A ROUND OF TSRA WILL EFFECT THE HUF AND BMG
SITES...AS WELL AS POSSIBLE IND. MVFR VISIBILITIES AND CIGS ARE
LIKELY WITH ANY STORM.

HIGH DEWPOINTS ACRE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT
LEADING TO LOW DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS. GIVEN THE RECENT RAINS THIS
WILL RESULT IN SOME PATCHY FOG OVERNIGHT...PARTICULARLY AT
HUF...LAF AND BMG.

AFTER MORNING FOG BURNS OFF...YET ANOTHER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO
PUSH ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS THEN ONCE AGAIN
POINT TO STEEP LAPSE RATES AND FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR
CONVECTION. THUS WILL PAIN YET ANOTHER WINDOW OF VCTS DURING
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
