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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Dec 23, 3:12 PM CST, 1 hour 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 23, 3:12 PM CST, 1 hour 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
312 PM CST WED DEC 23 2015

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight)
ISSUED AT 312 PM CST WED DEC 23 2015

First round of severe weather has exited the eastern forecast area
early this afternoon, but storms have quickly started to fire in
northeast Missouri. This particular area has seen some sunshine
during the afternoon, helping to destabilize the atmosphere, where
CAPE's are above 500 J/kg and 0-6km bulk shear is an impressive 60-
70 knots. HRRR latched onto this area of development earlier, and
races it across the northern part of the forecast area between 4 pm
and 8 pm. Have concentrated the highest PoP's for the rest of the
afternoon in this area. The storms should be weakening after sunset
as the surface low pulls northeast, and there is some question about
how much the atmosphere across the eastern CWA can recover after
being thoroughly worked over the last several hours.

Secondary concern is with the winds this evening. Have issued a Wind
Advisory for the period from 6 pm to 2 am across about the northwest
half of the forecast area. Main surface low is currently located
across northeast Iowa, and will be zipping northeast. Impressive 3-
hour pressure rises of 10-11 mb are progged to track northeastward
to around Rockford by midnight. Wind gusts of 45 mph or so are
likely across the northwest half of the forecast area as this
bullseye passes. Have gone as far south as Jacksonville with the
advisory, but this area may be of a shorter duration. Most of the
winds should be diminishing around midnight, but will linger a bit
longer north of I-74.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 312 PM CST WED DEC 23 2015

Short and medium range models are in fairly good agreement with the
overall active weather pattern through the weekend and into early
next week. Unseasonably warm temperatures and very wet weather will
be the main factors for the weekend through late Monday.

In the shorter term, mild temperatures and periods of cloudiness can
be expected for Christmas Eve into much of Christmas Day. The return
of a surface boundary north of the Ohio Valley and associated weak
isentropic lift initially will result in a chance for light rain in
southeast IL late on Christmas Day. The GFS is the odd model out on
this one by keeping the boundary much farther south.

Backing upper level flow in response to a digging trough in the
western U.S. will allow very warm and moist air to return into much
of central and SE IL during the day Saturday. This feed of moisture
and the associated rainfall will linger in the forecast area through
most of Sunday, resulting in 2.50 to 3.50 inches of rain. The
precipitation area will gradually sag south as the upper low in the
west closes off in SW Texas and an upper level confluent area sets
up across central IL by later in the day Sunday.

The upper low in the southwestern U.S. is expected to kick out
toward the Midwest Monday as another strong upper level trough digs
from the Pacific NW to the southern Plains. This will bring the
likelihood of precipitation back to central IL for Monday. The
forecast type becomes a bit tricky north of a Rushville-Bloomington
line Monday into Monday night as upper level soundings indicate a
mix of rain/snow/sleet possible. Could be some minor accumulations
of snow NW of Peoria late Monday, but there is a lot of uncertainty
with this scenario 6 days out.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1149 AM CST WED DEC 23 2015

Active convective weather with a complex weather system can be
expected in central and eastern IL this afternoon through this
evening. The majority of the area is in the warm sector of the
storm system, so ceilings have come up considerably due to this
and the high winds from the mixing of the lower atmosphere.

Several rounds of showers/t-storms will impact central and eastern
IL TAF sites through at least 20-21 UTC before the next round
approaches/develops in the 21-03 UTC timeframe. Added a TEMPO
group to not only highlight the MVFR visibility/ceilings from the
moderate to heavy rain, but also wind gusts exceeding 40 kts from
the strongest thunderstorms.

Outside of the thunderstorms, VFR conditions are anticipated.
However, an increasing pressure gradient this afternoon through
the evening will result in south to southwest winds of 25-30 kts
with gusts around 35 kts.

The sky is expected to partially clear and wind settle down a bit
after midnight local time. Increasing mid level clouds are
anticipated by mid-morning Thursday, but conditions will be VFR.
