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.

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 La Crosse, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 29, 2:56 PM CDT, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 29, 2:56 PM CDT, 1 hour 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
256 PM CDT MON MAY 29 2006

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS WITH THE RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

SURFACE ANALYSIS THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS LOW PRESSURE IN SOUTHERN
MANITOBA WITH A COLD FRONT SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL MINNESOTA...
WESTERN IOWA INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. LOCAL RADAR SHOWING SOME
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WELL AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN A ZONE OF LOW
LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND FN VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND WHERE THE 0-3 KM
SHEAR WAS SLIGHTLY INCREASED.

THE 12Z NAM PICKED UP ON THE CONVECTION FIRING OVER THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON BUT BY EARLY EVENING WEAKENS THE LOW LEVEL FEATURES THAT
HELPED TO PRODUCE THE ACTIVITY AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO APPROACH THE
AREA. AS THE FRONT APPROACHES WOULD EXPECT THE ACTIVITY TO GENERALLY
INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS NAM BUFKIT SOUNDINGS FOR KRST SHOW WHAT
REMAINS OF THE CAP SHOULD BE GONE SHORTLY. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW
THE BEST DYNAMICAL FORCING AND DEEP SHEAR TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE
FORECAST ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA. MODELS ALSO CONTINUE THE TREND OF
SHOWING THE LOW LEVEL FORCING SIGNALS /FRONTOGENESIS...FN VECTOR
CONVERGENCE...SURFACE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE/ TO WEAKEN AS THE FRONT
APPROACHES. HOWEVER...THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH FORCING IN THE HIGH CAPE
ENVIRONMENT /2000-2500 J/KG IN THE MIXED AND BOUNDARY LAYER/ TO
SUPPORT SCATTERED ACTIVITY.

THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AS IT BECOMES PARALLEL TO THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW.
BY LATE TONIGHT AND INTO TUESDAY MORNING...THE NAM SHOWS THE
FRONTOGENESIS IN THE 1000-850 MB LAYER TO GET STRONGER AS THERE MAY
BE A WEAK WAVE MOVING NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT. WITH THIS IN MIND...
HAVE KEPT THE LIKELY POPS FOR AFTER 06Z TONIGHT...BUT EVENING SHIFT
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THIS DEVELOPMENT AND MAY HAVE TO PULL BACK TO
CHANCE. THE FRONTOGENESIS...MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND THETA-E
CONVERGENCE CONTINUE TO INCREASE ALONG THE STALLED BOUNDARY TUESDAY
AND HAVE KEPT THE LIKELY POPS GOING ACROSS THE EASTERN SECTIONS. THE
NAM SHOWS MIXED AND BOUNDARY LAYER CAPES OF 1500-2000 J/KG DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

NOT MUCH CHANGE IS EXPECTED INTO WEDNESDAY AS THE FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO STILL BE VERY CLOSE TO THE FORECAST AREA. ANOTHER WEAK SURFACE
WAVE MAY MOVE ALONG THE FRONT LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
BOTH THE NAM AND GFS SHOW A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE TROUGH TO CROSS THE
AREA WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL LIKELY INCREASE THE COVERAGE OF THE
SHOWERS AND STORMS.

AS FOR SEVERE CHANCES...AS ALREADY NOTED...GOOD CAPE AVAILABLE THIS
EVENING AND AGAIN TUESDAY. THE DEEPEST SHEAR CONTINUES TO RESIDE
WELL BEHIND THE FRONT AS THE UPPER LEVEL JET NEVER REALLY GETS CLOSE
TO THE AREA. HAIL LOOKS TO BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THE NAM
SHOWING WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS OF 10000-11500 FEET TONIGHT WITH
SIMILAR VALUES FOR TUESDAY AND A FREEZING LEVEL AROUND 13000.
PREVIOUS SHIFT HAD NOTED THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME NON-SUPERCELL
TORNADOES FOR TUESDAY ALONG THE BOUNDARY. THE 12Z NAM IS NOT AS
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS POSSIBILITY AS THE 00Z RUN AS IT LOOKS LIKE IT
HAS BACKED OFF ON THE 0-3KM CAPE AND THE BEST 0-2KM LAPSE RATES NOW
LOOK TO RESIDE BEHIND THE FRONT. OTHER PARAMETERS ARE STILL
FAVORABLE.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY

LONG RANGE MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT EARLY IN THE PERIOD WITH THE
FLOW BECOMING NORTHWEST ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. MODELS CONTINUE
TO SHOW A SHORT WAVE TROUGH COMING THROUGH THE FLOW WITH THE GFS
CONSISTENTLY FASTER THAN THE ECMWF. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF HAS SPED UP
A LITTLE AS WELL AND WILL PUT SOME POPS INTO THE FORECAST FOR
THURSDAY...MAINTAIN THEM FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND THEN DROP FOR
FRIDAY. AFTER THAT....THE GFS KICKS OUT SOME ENERGY FROM THE SYSTEM
OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND DROPS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW ACROSS THE
REGION. THE ECMWF DOES NOT SHOW THIS AND KEEPS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
ACROSS THE REGION. THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN HEIGHTS ARE VERY SIMILAR
TO THE ECMWF SOLUTION SO HAVE AFTER COORDINATING WITH SURROUNDING
OFFICES HAVE OPTED TO DISREGARD THE OPERATIONAL GFS SOLUTION AND
MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
