|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 15, 8:38 PM CDT | HAIL 1 | Beason, IL |
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.
The watch it was issued in

GEELHARTWhat 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 Mar 15, 6:43 PM CDT, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 15, 6:43 PM CDT, 1 hour 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Lincoln IL 643 PM CDT TUE MAR 15 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight) ISSUED AT 312 PM CDT TUE MAR 15 2016 19z/2pm surface analysis shows a 997mb low over northeast Missouri, with a warm front extending E/SE across south-central Illinois. Despite the presence of this forcing, convection has not yet materialized across Missouri or Illinois as the atmosphere remains capped. The short-wave trough that will eventually approach from the west and break the cap is still well to the west across western Kansas/Nebraska, so think cap will hold firm through the remainder of the afternoon. HRRR has been consistently showing scattered thunderstorms developing along the trailing cold front across eastern Missouri after 21z/4pm...with the activity then tracking E/NE into central Illinois this evening. 4km WRF-NMM has similar timing, and both high-res models suggest the storms will quickly shift out of the KILX CWA by midnight. Given strong directional low- level wind shear in the vicinity of the warm front, the main mode of any convection that develops later today will be supercellular. As such, damaging wind gusts and large hail remain the primary threats...although a few tornadoes will also be possible mainly along and northwest of the I-55 corridor. Have therefore included likely PoPs and mentioned severe weather across the western half of the CWA this evening accordingly. Any convection that fires will rapidly push eastward out of the area by midnight, with only a few lingering rain showers across the NW from the Peoria area northward after midnight. Once the storms pass, strong/gusty southwesterly winds will develop, with forecast soundings and numeric guidance suggesting gusts of 30-35 mph. Overnight lows will drop into the middle to upper 40s. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Tuesday) ISSUED AT 312 PM CDT TUE MAR 15 2016 Deepening surface low pressure forecast to push into central Wisconsin by 12z Wednesday with a tight pressure gradient over most of the forecast area during the day. Forecast soundings showing 40- 45 kts just off the surface tomorrow mid morning through the afternoon hours so wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph look likely over most of the area, except south of the Interstate 70 corridor. As a result, a wind advisory will be issued for a good portion of the forecast area for tomorrow. Areas north of I-74 will get close to some warning criteria winds, especially if the wrap around moisture/clouds stay to our north like most of the models suggest. Despite the passage of the cold front this evening, temperatures will be mild again on Wednesday, although not as warm as today. Look for highs to climb into the 60s most areas. The strong surface low will begin to fill across the lower Great Lakes on Thursday as upper level energy is transferred over to the East Coast. This will result in an elongated surface trof from the new low off New England west through the southern Great Lakes. This feature will gradually slide south bringing a more extensive cloud band south with it and the threat for some light precip starting on Friday night and continuing on and off into Saturday night. We may see a mix of rain and snow across our north Friday night into early Saturday morning, and possibly again late Saturday night into Sunday. No accumulations are expected with any snow that does occur across our north. The upper trof will gradually work its way southeast across the Great Lakes on Sunday and Monday with rather cool temperatures prevailing, at least compared to what we have had over the past couple of days. However, with the trof being more progressive, the cool down will not last long as most medium range models suggest the trof will shift off to our east by early next week with more of a zonal flow developing over the Midwest resulting in a gradual moderating trend through the middle of next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening) ISSUED AT 642 PM CDT TUE MAR 15 2016 Main aviation forecast concern continues to be developing convection this evening. Based on latest radar trends and HRRR run, have included a TEMPO group for thunder and MVFR ceilings at KPIA/KSPI between 00z and 02z...then further east to KBMI/KDEC between 01z and 03z. Given uncertainties in areal coverage further east, have only mentioned VCTS at KCMI after 02z. Once the storms pass, NAM forecast soundings suggest a period of MVFR ceilings before skies clear overnight into Wednesday morning. Winds will initially be from the south-southeast with gusts to around 25kt this evening, then will veer to the west-southwest after frontal passage this evening. As the pressure gradient tightens, very strong W/SW winds gusting to between 30 and 35kt will be likely on Wednesday. && .ILX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
