Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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 Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 1, 12:17 PM EDT, 2 hours 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 1, 12:17 PM EDT, 2 hours 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
1217 PM EDT SUN MAY 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK EAST ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
AND INTO OHIO TODAY. THIS WILL ACT AS A FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. THE FRONT WILL WORK INTO SOUTHERN
KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA TONIGHT...BUT ANOTHER WAVE WILL KEEP
THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST FOR MONDAY INTO MONDAY
NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MORNING CONVECTION ALONG THE OHIO RIVER HAS JUST ABOUT CLEARED
OUT OF THE ILN FORECAST AREA...WITH LIGHTER RADAR ECHOES WITHIN AN
AREA OF THICK LOW-LEVEL CLOUDS ALSO SHOWING SIGNS OF DISSIPATION.
SATELLITE IMAGERY SUGGESTS THAT PARTIAL CLEARING HAS BEGUN TO WORK
INTO SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT WITH PATCHES OF STRATUS
AND MID-LEVEL CLOUDS THAT APPEAR UNLIKELY TO COMPLETELY DEPART THE
AREA.

THESE CLOUDS WILL PLAY A PART IN DETERMINING HOW MUCH INSTABILITY
IS ABLE TO BE GENERATED TODAY...AN IMPORTANT KEY TO THE FORECAST
FOR CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY WITH MODEL TIMING AND INTENSITY
EXPECTATIONS STILL FAR FROM A NICE CONSENSUS. BASED ON THE 12Z
KILN SOUNDING AND SREF PROBABILITIES...IF TEMPERATURES IN THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA ARE ABLE TO GET INTO THE LOWER
70S AS CURRENTLY FORECAST...SBCAPE OF 1200-1800 J/KG WILL BE
ATTAINABLE.

IN TERMS OF TIMING AND PLACEMENT...THIS REMAINS SOMEWHAT IN
QUESTION...BUT RECENT HRRR RUNS HAVE PERHAPS SHOWN THE MOST
PROMISE IN ALIGNING BEST WITH THE OBSERVED SURFACE PATTERN.
ALONG A WEAK AND NEARLY-STATIONARY SURFACE BOUNDARY...SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 18Z-20Z...MOVING EAST AND OUT OF THE
CWA BY 00Z. ADDITIONAL STORMS MAY DEVELOP FURTHER TO THE NORTHWEST
DURING THE EVENING...AHEAD OF AN INCOMING SHORTWAVE. LOW-LEVEL
FORCING IS NOT IMPRESSIVE...AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE LOW-LEVEL WIND
FLOW IS ALSO FAIRLY WEAK. DEEP-LAYER WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR IS
MORE NOTABLE (45-50 KNOTS)...WHICH WILL LIKELY COMBINE WITH THE
INSTABILITY TO PRODUCE A FEW STRONG (TO POSSIBLY SEVERE) STORMS.
SINCE DESTABILIZATION IS ONE OF THE BIGGER QUESTIONS FOR THE
DAY...A ADDITIONAL KILN SOUNDING WILL BE CONDUCTED AT 17Z...IN
ORDER TO ASSESS THE EARLY AFTERNOON ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CONVECTION SHOULD STILL BE ON GOING FROM THE AFTERNOON INTO THE
EARLY EVENING HOURS AS THE FILLING H5 TROF LIFTS OUT OVER THE
GREAT LAKES. HIGHEST POPS WILL BE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TONIGHT
PERIOD...WITH THE PCPN CHANCES SLOWLY DECREASING FROM SW TO NE
AFTER THE MIDNIGHT HOUR.

A FEW SHOWERS COULD BE LINGERING IN CENTRAL OHIO EARLY MONDAY
MORNING...BEFORE PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST. PCPN WILL REDEVELOP
MONDAY ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH HAD DROPPED INTO SRN KY
DURING SUNDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER WAVE ON THE FRONT WILL PUSH PCPN
INTO THE REGION MONDAY AFTERNOON. HIGHS ON MONDAY WILL BE MUCH
COOLER THAN SUNDAY...WITH HIGHS ONLY MAKING IT IN THE UPPER 50S IN
THE NORTH. THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES SHOULD MAKE IT INTO THE UPPER
60S HOWEVER.

H5 ENERGY DIGGING DOWN FROM CANADA INTO THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE
VALLEYS WILL KEEP A LINGERING CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN COUNTIES ON TUESDAY. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 60S ACROSS
THE ENTIRE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NUMERICAL MODEL SOLNS GENERALLY SIMILAR WITH NRN STREAM TROF
SHARPENING UP AND DIGGING SOUTH AT MID WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW A SFC
COLD FRONT TO DROP SOUTH THRU ILN/S FA WEDNESDAY. INSTABILITY IS
MARGINAL AT BEST...SO AT THIS TIME HAVE ELECTED TO KEEP PCPN
MENTION TO CHANCE OF SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN
CLOSE TO NORMAL WITH HIGHS WED FROM THE MID 60S NORTH TO AROUND 70
SOUTH.

DIGGING TROF DEVELOPS INTO DEEP LARGE CLOSED LOW WHICH WILL CONTINUE
TO INFLUENCE OUR WEATHER THRU AT LEAST THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS
FEATURE WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS IN THE FCST THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY. MAY HAVE TO INCLUDE A MENTION OF SHOWERS IN THE EAST ON
SATURDAY WITH THE SOME EVIDENCE THAT MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO WRAP
AROUND THIS LARGE LOW. FOR NOW HAVE OPTED FOR DRY SOLN SATURDAY.

TEMP WISE...UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THIS LOW...BOTH THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY WILL BE BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 50S NORTH TO
THE MID 60S SOUTH.  READINGS WILL ONLY MODERATE A LTL SATURDAY WITH
HIGHS FROM THE LOWER 60S NORTH THE UPPER 60S SOUTH.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SOME PATCHES OF MVFR CEILINGS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FOR ANOTHER FEW
HOURS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS WELL...AND A TEMPO GROUP FOR SHOWERS HAS
BEEN INCLUDED FOR MOST OF THE TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON. THE
GREATEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS IS LIKELY TO OCCUR SOUTH AND
EAST OF THE AIRPORTS...BUT THUNDER COULD BE INCLUDED IN THE TAFS
IF NECESSARY IN FUTURE UPDATES.

WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO THE NORTHWEST GOING THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ANOTHER CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR
LATE TONIGHT AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...MORE LIKELY FOR THE
DAYTON AND COLUMBUS TAF SITES. SOME MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE
POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...BY EARLY MONDAY MORNING...LOW-END MVFR
CEILINGS (POSSIBLY IFR) WILL MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN TAF SITES.

OUTLOOK...MVFR CEILINGS MAY OCCUR ON MONDAY MORNING. MVFR
VISIBILITIES IN RAIN ARE ALSO POSSIBLE ON MONDAY. MVFR CEILINGS
ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
