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, 1.1 hours before the alert went out and 172 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, Sep 5, 7:20 PM EDT, 1 hour 47 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
720 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014

.UPDATE...

THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 330 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014

A COLD FRONT FROM THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR REGION TONIGHT PRODUCING NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS AND A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTH.  HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THIS
FRONT WILL BUILD ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA AND THE GREAT LAKES AND
NORTHERN INDIANA BY SUNDAY.   DRY AND MILD WEATHER WILL BE THE RULE
SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.  DRY AND COOLER
WEATHER WILL BE THE RULE FRIDAY AS THIS FRONT MOVES ON TO THE
EAST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT AND SATURDAY/...
ISSUED AT 330 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014

MODELS INDICATE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER
THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF ILLINOIS AND INDIANA OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS. BIGGEST QUESTION IS HOW QUICK THOSE CELLS WILL SPREAD INTO
OUR AREA.

A VERY HUMID AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WAS ACROSS OUR REGION AS LAPS
SOUNDINGS INDICATES CAPES UP TO 4000 J/KG.  THE AIRMASS HAS BEEN
CAPPED SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SECTIONS
WHICH HAS INHIBITED THUNDERSTORM .  WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
WERE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND SOUTHWEST
INDIANA INDICATING THIS CAP WAS STARTING TO BREAK.

GIVEN THE VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WILL BE A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE
THAN THE MODELS IN SPREADING THUNDERSTORMS INTO AT LEAST THE
NORTHERN HALF OF OUR REGION THIS EVENING.  WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS
ALONG AND NORTH OF I70 BY LATE EVENING ON AND CHANCE POPS IN THE
SOUTH OVERNIGHT.  SPC HAS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER OVER
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS FOR THIS EVENING.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS OUR REGION OVERNIGHT.
THE COLD FRONT WILL BE NEAR THE OHIO RIVER BY 12Z SATURDAY AND IT
WILL CONTINUE SOUTH AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS BUILDS
EAST INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL BE THE
RULE SATURDAY MORNING WITH AN ISOLATED THUNDERSHOWER IN THE SOUTH.
THESE SHOWERS AND THE FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AS DRIER AIR SPREADS IN FROM THE NORTH.

WENT WITH A MOS BLEND ON TEMPERATURES BOTH TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. MET
SEEMS A LITTLE TOO COOL OVER NORTHEAST SECTIONS GIVEN THAT THERE MAY
BE SOME SUN LATE...SO WENT CLOSER TO MAV TEMPERATURES THERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 330 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014

DRY AND COOL WEATHER WILL BE THE RULE AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST
INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY SUNDAY AND ON TO THE NEW ENGLAND STATES
MONDAY...BUT STILL KEEPING A RIDGE WEST ACROSS OUR REGION.

MODELS INDICATE A VERY DRY AIRMASS ACROSS OUR REGION RESULTING IN
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES THROUGH THE PERIOD.  850 MB TEMPERATURES WILL BE
ABOUT +10 CELSIUS SUNDAY AND SLIGHTLY WARMER MONDAY.  A MOS BLEND ON
TEMPERATURES SEEM REASONABLE MOST PERIODS.  I CUT THEM SLIGHTLY SOME
AREAS SUNDAY NIGHT.  HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 70S
SUNDAY AND UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 MONDAY.  LOWS WILL BE FROM 50 TO 55
BOTH NIGHTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ISSUED AT 213 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014

MOSTLY ZONAL FLOW EARLY IN THE LONG TERM WILL GIVE WAY TO A BROAD
TROUGH OVER MUCH OF THE U.S. WHICH WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN
COOLER THAN NORMAL THROUGHOUT THE LONG TERM PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE
DEPARTING TO THE EAST MONDAY NIGHT WILL COINCIDE WITH A FRONTAL
SYSTEM FORMING OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. AND SLOWLY MOVING ACROSS THE
AREA BRINGING CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE FORECAST TUESDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY. MODEL DIFFERENCES IN TIMING OF THE EXIT OF THE
SYSTEM MEAN KEEPING CHANCES IN THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT BY
FRIDAY MOST EVERYTHING HAS THE SYSTEM OUT OF THE AREA AND HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND IT.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 06/00Z TAFS/...
ISSUED AT 720 PM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014

SOME RESTRICTIONS LIKELY IN THUNDERSTORMS AND THEN FOG AND LOW
CEILINGS LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TIME LINE OF STORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT INTO THE
NORTHERN THREE SITES. WILL CARRY VCTS AT BMG OWING TO GREATER
UNCERTAINTY AS TO IMPACT THERE. APPEARS LINE SHOULD WORK ITS WAY
ACROSS THE SITES STARTING WITH LAF AROUND 00-01Z...HUF AROUND
02-03Z...AND IND AROUND 03-04Z. HAVE CARRIED A TEMPO PERIOD AT EACH
OF THESE SITES FOR THE EXPECTED IMPACTS OF THE STORMS...OCCASIONAL
IFR VISIBILITIES AND WIND GUSTS PERHAPS IN EXCESS OF 30KT.

IN THE WAKE OF THE STORMS...GUIDANCE INDICATES WIDESPREAD MVFR
CEILINGS AND FOG LIKELY WITH PERHAPS SOME IFR CONDITIONS. THESE
SHOULD IMPROVE BY MIDDAY SATURDAY WITH VFR THEREAFTER.
