The radar

The Green Bay radar (KGRB), 23 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:47 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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

Green Bay/Straub, WI (KGRB), launched 12:00Z, 9.7 hours before the alert went out and 24 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.

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 Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 10, 4:15 PM CDT, 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 4:15 PM CDT, 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
415 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2005

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED IN
WESTERN/SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN LATE THIS MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON AND
INTENSIFIED IN UNSTABLE AIR ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THESE STORMS
PRODUCED SOME SEVERE WEATHER AS THEY MOVED THROUGH CENTRAL AND NORTH-
CENTRAL WISCONSIN AND CONTINUED TO MOVE NORTHEAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
MORE STORMS DEVELOPED BEHIND THE MAIN LINE AND THERE WAS ALSO SOME
DEVELOPMENT IN EASTERN WI NEAR THE LAKE BREEZE FRONT. HAVE MENTIONED
HAIL AND STRONG/DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FA TONIGHT WITH THE
STRONGER STORMS.

CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ON SATURDAY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON AMOUNT OF
SUNSHINE. BY EVENING THE FA IS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION OF THE UPPER JET SO I LEFT A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY. MAIN CONCERN IN THE
LONG TERM IS WHEN DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN. THE SOUTHERN PART OF A NEARLY
STATIONARY FRONT THAT WAS NORTH OF WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE
INTO WI NEXT WEEK AS A COLD FRONT. AN OCCLUSION WILL DEVELOP AS A LOW
ENTERS THE STATE AND TRAVELS SOUTHEAST. CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS UNTIL THE SYSTEM FINALLY GETS FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM
THE AREA ON THURSDAY.

ABREVIATED AFD DUE TO ONGOING STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS.

.GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
