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, Jul 25, 3:30 PM CDT, 5 hours 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 330 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2005 .SYNOPSIS...LARGE SCALE PATTERN ACRS THE CONUS WAS INITIALLY DOMINATED BY LARGE UPR RIDGE...WITH FAIRLY STG BAND OF WESTERLIES OVER THE NRN TIER OF STATES. THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE WL SHIFT SWD INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AS BROAD UPR TROF DEVELOPS OVER THE NRN STATES DURING THE WORK WK. DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE FCST CYCLE...EXPECT THE TROF TO SHIFT EWD AND FILL...WITH THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE TO SHIFT BACK INTO THE DESERT SW. THE PATTERN SHOULD FLATTEN AGAIN BY NEXT WEEKEND...WITH HEIGHTS ACRS THE FCST AREA RISING AND THE WESTERLIES RETREATING NWD INTO CANADA. EXPECT A SIG PCPN EVENT TNGT INTO TUE AS IMPRESSIVE DYNAMICS FOR THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER ACT ON VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR JUST S OF THE AREA. THEN EXPECT A PERIOD OF COOLER AND LESS HUMID WX FOR THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WK. THERE WL BE ANOTHER CHC OF PCPN AS A SECONDARY COOL FRONT WORKS ACRS THE AREA...BUT WITH MUCH LESS MOISTURE TO WORK WITH DON/T EXPECT MORE THAN SCT PCPN. TEMPS AND HUMIDITIES THEN EXPECTED TO INCR AGAIN GOING INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS UPR HEIGHTS RISE AS THE WESTERLIES RETREAT NWD AGAIN. THERE COULD BE A CHC OF PCPN DURING THE WEEKEND...BUT CHC DID NOT LOOK GREAT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE FCST AREA AT THIS POINT. .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. WARM FRONT REMAINS SOUTH OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA MADE IT INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S AT MOST PLACES AWAY FROM THE LAKE. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON. WILL WORD THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES AS COMPLEX OF STORMS ACROSS MINNESOTA/IOWA MOVE INTO THE FORECAST AREA LATER THIS EVENING. DID HIGHLIGHT HEAVY RAIN WORDING IN THE ZONES BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS AREA UNDER A MODERATE TO SEVERE DROUGHT. DO THINK THAT THERE COULD BE SOME STREET FLOODING WITH THE LOCALLY HEAVIER STORMS. WITH STORMS BEING ELEVATED...CONFIDENCE NOT AS HIGH TO WARRANT MENTION IN THE ZONES. DID INCLUDE THE SLIGHT POTENTIAL IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ON BLUSTERY NORTHERLY WINDS. CURRENT GUIDANCE VERY SIMILIAR AND FOLLOWED. .LONG TERM...TUE NGT THROUGH NEXT MON. DRY WX EXPECTED TUE NGT AND WED. SECONDARY FRONT WL BRING A CHC OF PCPN TO THE N WED NGT...AND ACRS THE AREA THU. CHC COULD LINGER INTO THE EVENING OVER THE SE PART OF THE FCST AREA...BUT GIVEN THE LOW CHC OF PCPN...DID NOT WANT TO CARRY CHC FOR SEVERAL PERIODS. ALTHOUGH READINGS WL BE COOLER FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WK...READINGS SHOULD STILL BE NR NORMAL. READINGS SHOULD WARM BACK TO ABV NORMAL FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. MODELS STILL HINT THAT A FRONT COULD DROP INTO THE AREA DURING THE WEEKEND...BUT TREND SEEMED TO BE TO BUILD UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS. PATTERN SIMILAR TO THE ONE WE WERE IN A COUPLE WKS BACK WHEN WE HAD TROUBLE GETTING PCPN. PREFERRED TO LEAVE THE LATTER PART OF THE FCST PCPN FREE UNTIL THERE IS STRONGER SUPPORT FOR PCPN. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && ECKBERG/SKOWRONSKI WEATHER.GOV/GREENBAY
