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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 4:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
445 PM CDT SAT JUN 11 2005

.SHORT TERM...SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL AGAIN TODAY...AS SFC LOW PRESSURE
AND DEVELOPING WARM FRONT LIFT NORTH THROUGH MN. LINE OF STORMS
DEVELOPING OVER FAR WESTERN WI. LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENING AHEAD OF
SHORT WAVE WITH MODELS SHOWING IT FOCUSED INTO NORTHWEST WI BY 00Z.
UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES...WHOLE CWA HAS BECOME VERY UNSTABLE WITH SFC
BASED CAPES AROUND 2K.  CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY IS ABSENCE OF NUMEROUS SFC
BOUNDARIES DRAPED OVER NE WI.  LAKE BREEZE IS JUST BEGINNING TO PUSH
INLAND. BEST MOISTURE...WITH SFC DEWPOINTS INTO LOW 70S...ALONG WARM
FRONT AND EAST INTO LOWER MI.  THIS SHOULD POINT TO MORE PROBLEMS DUE TO
DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL THAN TORNADOES. HAVE NOT MADE ANY SIG CHANGES TO
CURRENT PACKAGE...EXCEPT TO REMOVE PCPN CHANCES OVER NORTHERN WI FOR SUN
AS WEEK COLD FRONT/TROUGH MOVES THROUGH SUN MORN...WITH LOWER DEWPOINTS
WORKING INTO NORTH CENTRAL WI.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY. MAIN CONCERN IS WHEN
POPS CAN BE LEFT OUT FOR AN ENTIRE DAY. AS A SURFACE BOUNDARY LIFTS
NORTH INTO NORTHERN IL SUNDAY NIGHT PCPN CHANCES WILL RETURN TO THE
FORECAST AREA. POPS WILL INCREASE ON MONDAY AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO
LIFT NORTHWARD. PCPN CHCS REMAIN UNTIL THE SURFACE LOW OVER THE PLAINS
MAKES ITS WAY EAST OF THE STATE DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.
AFTER THAT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND A MID LEVEL RIDGE MOVE INTO THE
REGION BRINGING DRY WEATHER TO THE AREA.
