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 Apr 9, 8:54 PM CDT, 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 8:54 PM CDT, 51 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
854 PM CDT Thu Apr 9 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 854 PM CDT THU APR 9 2015

Vigorous shortwave and jet streak are pushing a cold front rapidly
across IL. They have triggered strong to severe storms with
isolated tornadoes this afternoon/evening. Remaining storms seem
to be evolving into more outflow dominated storms, but will
continue to monitor for any localized rotations the next couple
hours. Storms and cold front are projected to be east of our IL
counties by 11 pm, with strong west-southwest winds in their wake.
Sustained winds behind the front will increase to 20 mph and
gust to 35 mph at times. A brief period of clearing skies may
follow the front for an hour or so, but low clouds will return for
6-8 hours the rest of the night. Clear skies will return from west
to east around sunrise tomorrow, with gusty winds continuing.

Low temps will drop about 20 degrees colder than last night, with
readings in the mid to upper 40s toward sunrise. Likewise, highs
on Friday will be around 15-18F colder than today, but still in
the low 60s.

Updated the weather and PoP forecasts to match expected trends,
with minor adjustments to clouds cover timing. Updated info will
be available by 9 pm.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight)
ISSUED AT 307 PM CDT THU APR 9 2015

19z/2pm surface analysis shows 998mb low centered over southeast
Iowa, with cold front trailing southward into western Missouri.
Line of convection is rapidly developing along the front within the
moderately unstable and uncapped airmass in the warm sector.  0-6km
bulk shear values will be on the increase as the afternoon
progresses as a mid-level short-wave approaches from the west,
resulting in continued convective intensification.  HRRR has had a
good handle on the situation throughout the day, with its latest
iteration agreeing closely with prior runs.  Based on satellite
timing tools and HRRR guidance, it appears the line of storms will
cross the Mississippi River by 23z/6pm, then will track through the
Illinois River Valley and to the I-55 corridor by about 02z/8pm.
Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat, but large hail and a
few tornadoes will be possible as well.  As the storms move further
east, they will likely congeal into a solid line and the tornado
threat will diminish accordingly.  Once the front passes, windy and
cooler weather will be on tap overnight with a slow west to east
clearing trend by dawn.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 307 PM CDT THU APR 9 2015

Morning upper air shows a potential severe event this afternoon and
evening, as main upper level shortwave and vort max over southwest
NE at 12z will be rotating to the east. Low level thermal ridge and
moisture axis extends into MO/IL ahead of the approaching front.
low level jet is particularly strong flowing into MO/western IL and
so ample shear available in warm sector.

HRRR model and NAM a little slower on the movement of the front
through the region, going through this evening. Shear with strong
upper jet and low level southern jet will make severe potential with
severe storms possible on the cold front as it sweeps through.
Deepening surface low to move northeast into eastern IA and then
southern WI.

High pressure in control until weak front moves in and brings
showers on late Sunday and Sunday night. Another chance off showers
Tuesday into Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
ISSUED AT 700 PM CDT THU APR 9 2015

Line of storms firing along a cold front will produce heavy rain,
hail and possible tornadoes. Lower chances that any terminal site
will get hit directly by any severe weather, but still possible.
Target window should be 2 hours as the line moves through, so we
continued with 2hr tempos for heavy rain and MVFR vis/cig.
Upstream obs and satellite images show a break in the MVFR cigs
should follow the line, before MVFR clouds return in wrap-around
moisture behind the low pressure system. Will continue MVFR clouds
until 10z at PIA, then advance clearing eastward into Friday
morning.

Strong winds will continue both ahead of the front and behind.
Wind direction will remain SW ahead of the front, with gusts to
30kt, then become west later tonight. Gusts will increase to
25-30kt tomorrow as mid level jet winds continue to be strong.
