Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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, 6.1 hours before the alert went out and 68 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.

25What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jul 16, 12:23 AM CDT, 42 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- A cluster of severe thunderstorms will race east-southeastward out of Iowa this evening. Damaging wind gusts in excess of 70mph and isolated tornadoes will be the primary severe weather risks mainly along and north of the I-74 corridor.
- Back-building thunderstorm cells overnight will lead to a flash flooding risk across parts of central Illinois.
- Another round of showers and thunderstorms will form Tuesday night...resulting in a risk for flash flooding south of I-70.

Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Lincoln IL 1223 AM CDT Tue Jul 16 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - A cluster of severe thunderstorms will race east-southeastward out of Iowa this evening. Damaging wind gusts in excess of 70mph and isolated tornadoes will be the primary severe weather risks mainly along and north of the I-74 corridor. - Back-building thunderstorm cells overnight will lead to a flash flooding risk across parts of central Illinois. - Another round of showers and thunderstorms will form Tuesday night...resulting in a risk for flash flooding south of I-70. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 321 PM CDT Mon Jul 15 2024 A vigorous short-wave trough currently over Minnesota into northwest Iowa will interact with a highly unstable and moderately sheared environment to create a cluster of thunderstorms across central/northern Iowa late this afternoon. These cells will quickly grow upscale into a severe MCS, which will then race E/SE across north-central Illinois later this evening. While the exact track of the system varies somewhat among the CAMs, general consensus suggests it will focus between the I-80 and I-74 corridors. Given extreme instability as noted by SBCAPEs in excess of 6000J/kg on the 19z KDVN upper air flight, think damaging wind gusts of 70-80mph will be likely once a cold pool can be established. While the primary momentum with this MCS may skirt the KILX CWA just to the north, the S/SW trailing edge of the system will provide challenges later this evening into the overnight hours due to backbuilding cells. With precipitable water values in excess of 2 inches, the storms will be efficient rain-makers...and with the propensity for training echoes, think there is a strong potential for flash flooding. Have therefore issued a Flood Watch for locations along/north of the I-74 corridor tonight. Thunderstorms will settle southward to I-72 and points southward late tonight: however, the severe weather risk will decrease with time. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing during the day Tuesday as a cold front drops slowly southward into the area. As the nocturnal LLJ strengthens after dark, another round of showers and thunderstorms will develop near the sagging boundary Tuesday evening. Considerable uncertainty still exists as to the exact corridor of heaviest rainfall, but it appears that it will be focused south of I-70. Have issued a Flood Watch for Effingham, Jasper, Crawford, Clay, Richland, and Lawrence counties accordingly. Barnes .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Next Monday) Issued at 321 PM CDT Mon Jul 15 2024 Once the front passes, a much cooler/drier airmass will settle into the Midwest for the middle and end of the week. The coolest days will be Thursday and Friday when highs may remain in the 70s and overnight lows dip into the 50s. After that, below normal temperatures are expected to continue through early next week. Barnes && .AVIATION... (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Tuesday Night) Issued at 1223 AM CDT Tue Jul 16 2024 Localized IFR conditions in TSRA will affect KSPI-KDEC-KCMI through 07-09z as clusters of storms continue to press southeast. The trend should be for activity to diminish before sunrise, with a potential for MVFR ceilings to develop at KPIA-KBMI-KCMI this morning. After that, primarily VFR skies expected. A cold front will push south across the terminals midday through afternoon, however the better chances for TSRA will be south of the terminals so left the storm mention out. Southwest winds ahead of the front will veer west-northwest behind it, all near to under 10 kt. 25 && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flood Watch until 7 AM CDT this morning for ILZ027>031-036>038- 041-043>046-055-057. Flood Watch from this evening through Wednesday morning for ILZ066>068-071>073. &&
