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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 5:00 AM CDT, 4 hours 46 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
500 AM CDT FRI JUN 24 2005

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY...MAIN FCST CONCERNS ARE MAX TEMPS
TODAY...AND THE THREAT OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFT/EVG.

MSAS ANALYSIS SHOWED A COLD FRONT JUST ENTERING FAR NW WI EARLY THIS
MORNING. SATL AND WIND PROFILERS DEPICTED A S/W TROF MOVG THROUGH
EASTERN SD AND NEB. CONVECTION DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THIS DISTURBANCE HAD
EVOLVED INTO AN MCS...WHICH WAS SHIFTING THROUGH SW MN EARLY THIS
MORNING.

THE COLD FRONT IS FCST TO SHIFT SE INTO GRB CWA TODAY...GRADUALLY
WEAKENING AS IT DOES. WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE THIS MORNING...A VERY
MILD START TO THE DAY...AND H8 TEMPS STILL +18 TO +20 ACROSS THE FA...
EXPECT TEMPS TO QUICKLY WARM INTO THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 TODAY.
MODIFIED FCST SOUNDINGS FOR THIS AFTERNOON SUGGEST FAIRLY STG
INSTABILITY...WITH CAPES AROUND 3000 J/KG AND LIS -6 TO -8. ALTHOUGH
SOME ISOLD CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THIS
MORNING...MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IS ANTICIPATED WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE
S/W TROF THIS AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY...SOME OF THE
STORMS SHD BECOME SVR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...SO HAVE ADDED MENTION
OF THIS IN THE ZFP. SHEAR IS NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE THOUGH...SO STORMS MAY
BE OF THE PULSE VARIETY.

EXPECT THE FRONT TO CONTINUE TO SAG SLOWLY SOUTH TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...
BUT PRECIP CHCS WILL LINGER ACROSS THE S 1/2 OF THE CWA DUE TO THE
PASSING RRQ OF THE UPPER JET...A COUPLE S/W TROFS AND THE CLOSE
PROXIMITY OF THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS. TEMPS WILL BE COOLER ON
SATURDAY...MOST NOTABLY ALONG THE LKSHR...WHERE NE WINDS WILL KEEP MAX
TEMPS IN THE 70-75 RANGE.

.LONG TERM...SAT NGT THRU NXT THU. MAIN FCST CHALLENGE CONTS TO BE PCPN
TRENDS AS MDLS HAVING THEIR PBLMS DEALING WITH BOUNDARIES WAVERING
AROUND THE RGN. THE LOCATION AND TIMING OF THESE BOUNDARIES WL ALSO
IMPACT POTENTIAL MAX TEMPS NXT WEEK AS WELL.

STARTING SAT NGT...CDFNT EXPECTED TO PULL UP STNRY ALONG THE WI/IL
BORDER SAT NGT AS IT BECOMES PARALLEL WITH THE MEAN FLOW. WL NEED TO
KEEP A CHC OF SHWRS OR TSTMS THRU THE NGT ACROSS SRN SECTIONS OF THE
FCST AREA WITH THE FNT NEARBY. HI PRES OVR ONTARIO WL BE ABLE TO BRING
ENUF DRY AIR TO NRN WI TO KEEP THIS AREA PCPN-FREE WITH SKIES BECOMING
PARTLY CLDY. SHRTWV/UPR JET ENERGY EJECTING NE FROM THE WEST COAST UPR
TROF WL HELP STRENGTHEN LOW PRES OVR THE NRN PLAINS ON SUNDAY. SOUTHERLY
WNDS FCST TO INCREASE ACROSS THE PLAINS/MIDWEST AND HELP LIFT THE OLD
CDFNT NWD AS A WRMFNT. BEST DYNAMICS/INSTABILITY TO REMAIN TO OUR
WEST...HOWEVER ISEN LIFT OVR THIS WRMFNT SUFFICIENT ENUF TO KEEP MENTION
OF TSTMS IN THE FCST FOR SUNDAY. TEMPS SHOULD BE ABLE TO WARM INTO THE
LWR TO MID 80S (AWAY FROM LK MI) AS WNDS VEER MORE SOUTHERLY. WRMFNT TO
LIFT NORTH OF WI SUNDAY NGT THANKS TO PERSISTENT SOUTH OR SW WNDS. SINCE
THIS FNT STILL IN THE PROCESS OF CLEARING NRN WI...PREFER TO MENTION A
SML CHC POP FOR NRN WI SUNDAY EVENING. MILD NGT IN STORE WITH 8H TEMPS
AROUND +20C AND WNDS REMAINING UP THRU THE OVRNGT HRS.

NOT AS CLR CUT FOR EARLY NXT WEEK AS NEW GFS AND CANADIAN MDLS BRING
ANOTHER CDFNT INTO THE UPR MIDWEST ON MON AND PUSH THE FNT INTO THE WRN
GREAT LKS ON TUE. THIS TIMING IS ABT 24 HRS FASTER THAN ADVERTISED BY
PREV MDL RUNS. PCPN SHOULD REMAIN NEAR THE FNT SO WL CONT TO KEEP FCST
DRY FOR MON...BUT WITH FNT INTO WI ON TUE...WL HAVE TO INTRODUCE A CHC
OF SHWRS AND TSTMS TO NE WI FOR TUE. DUE TO MORE CLD CVR AND NEW PCPN
CHCS...HAD TO LWR MAX TEMPS FOR TUE AS WELL.

MAIN CRUX OF WEST COAST UPR TROF TO REACH THE NRN PLAINS BY WED WHICH WL
STALL CDFNT OVR WI. FNT ACTUALLY PROGGED TO START LIFTING BACK NORTH AS
WED WEARS ON SO PCPN CHCS TO CONT WITH FNT IN OUR VCNTY. SHRTWV TROF AND
SECONDARY MORE PRONOUNCED CDFNT TO PUSH INTO THE WRN GREAT LKS NXT THU.
PLENTY OF GULF MSTR TO BE AVBL TO INTERACT WITH INCREASING DYNAMICS AND
LIFT FROM FNT FOR CHC POPS.
