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, 0.3 hours before the alert went out and 314 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.

50What 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 Indianapolis, IN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 18, 6:46 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 6:46 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 646 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 335 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015 A COLD FRONT FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL MOVE TO CENTRAL INDIANA LATE SUNDAY AND THEN STALL NEAR THE OHIO RIVER BY MONDAY. MODELS WILL THEN MOVE A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY MONDAY. IT WILL BE DRY AND A LITTLE COOLER AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY RETURN LATE NEXT WEEK AS A WARM FRONT MOVES OUR WAY. HOTTER AND MORE HUMID WEATHER WILL RETURN BY NEXT WEEKEND AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. && .NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/... ISSUED AT 335 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015 ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED NEAR CHICAGO AND EXTREME SOUTHERN INDIANA. LAPS IS SHOWING CAPES OF OVER 4000 J/KG...HOWEVER UP TO NOW THE AIRMASS HAS BEEN PARTIALLY CAPPED. THE CAP MAY BREAK DOWN A LITTLE MORE AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH AS MODELS DIFFER GREATLY. THE RAPID REFRESH MODEL SHOWS LOTS OF DEVELOPMENT NEXT FEW HOURS OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL SECTIONS. PRIOR TO LATE MORNING IT SHOWED VERY LITTLE DEVELOPMENT AT ALL AND I SUSPECT IT MAY BE OVERDOING IT A LITTLE AS IT INDICATES THUNDERSTORMS RAPIDLY DEVELOPING IN AREAS WHERE FEW OR NOW THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING. DECIDED TO GO WITH CHANCE POPS OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL SECTIONS AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SOUTH TONIGHT. SPC HAS OUR FAR NORTH UNDER AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND IF THE RAPID REFRESH IS RIGHT SEVERE WEATHER COULD BE A FEW HOURS AWAY. THERE COULD BE TWO ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH ONCE OCCURRING THIS EVENING OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL SECTIONS AND ANOTHER ROUND LATE TONIGHT ACROSS OUR NORTH. WENT WITH A MOS BLEND WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S TONIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... ISSUED AT 335 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015 MAIN FOCUS WILL BE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES NEXT FEW DAYS. ALSO HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE LOWER 100S ARE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MODELS INDICATE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE RULE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. MODELS ARE A LITTLE QUICKER MOVING THE THUNDERSTORM AREA THROUGH OUR AREA SUNDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH LIKELY POPS OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS SUNDAY EVENING AND CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE. THEN MOSTLY DRY FAR NORTH AND LOW THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SOUTH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM STALLS NEAR THE OHIO VALLEY AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES. SLIGHTLY BETTER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL BE THE RULE BY TUESDAY AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS TO THE LOWER 90S FAR SOUTH. HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE LOWER 100'S ARE POSSIBLE EXTREME SOUTH SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHICH IS SLIGHTLY BELOW OUR CRITERIA FOR A HEAT ADVISORY. FOR NOW WILL HOLD OFF WITH ANY OTHER HEAT HEADLINES. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THE NEXT SHIFT WILL WANT TO ADDRESS IF TEMPERATURES TREND ANY HOTTER FOR SUNDAY. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE 80S MONDAY AND THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S TUESDAY. WENT WITH LOWS FROM THE UPPER 60S NORTH TO LOWER 70S SOUTH BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT WHICH IS CLOSE TO A MOS BLEND ON TEMPERATURES. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... ISSUED AT 335 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015 HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND A FRONTAL PASSAGE ON TUESDAY AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK NEXT WEEK. PROVIDING HOPEFULLY A MUCH NEEDED...ALBEIT BRIEF BREAK IN RAIN CHANCES. THEN CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL RETURN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS A WARM FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 STILL APPEAR TO HOLD OFF UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 190000Z TAFS/... ISSUED AT 646 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015 VORTICITY CENTER APPROACHING WEST CENTRAL INDIANA AT THIS TIME. SO FAR...MOST OF THE CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED EAST THE TERMINALS. MAY STILL SOMETHING IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS VORTICITY CENTER...BUT NOTHING APPEARS IMMINENT. LARGE CONVECTIVE CLUSTER CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN INDIANA EXPECTED TO PASS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE TERMINALS LATER THIS EVENING. AIR MASS IS VERY UNSTABLE LOCALLY...SO THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR THIS COMPLEX TO BACK BUILD TO THE SOUTHWEST AFTER DARK...BUT THIS SCENARIO IS LESS LIKELY. ALL IN ALL...THERE IS SOME CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINALS THROUGH ABOUT 190400Z OR SO...BUT PROBABILITY OF DIRECT IMPACTS ARE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME. CB BASES AROUND 030. OTHERWISE...CROSSOVER TEMPEATURES SUGGEST SOME FOG IS PROBABLE BEFORE DAWN ON SUNDAY. WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME INCREASED HIGH LEVEL CLOUD BY THAT TIME...WILL KEEP VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS ABOVE IFR. SURFACE WINDS 210-240 DEGREES AT 7-10 KTS WILL DIMINISH TO 6 KTS OR LESS AFTER SUNSET. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... HEAT ADVISORY UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR INZ021-028>031- 035>049-051>057-060>065-067>072. && SYNOPSIS...JH NEAR TERM...JH SHORT TERM...JH LONG TERM...RYAN AVIATION...JAS
