Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 14 minutes after it went out.

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

Alpena, MI (KAPX), launched 12:00Z, 10.7 hours before the alert went out and 120 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 Gaylord, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 15, 6:28 PM EDT, 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 6:28 PM EDT, 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
628 PM EDT TUE JUL 15 2008

.DISCUSSION...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS THIS AFTERNOON REVEALS MUCH
WARMER AND MORE HUMID CONDITIONS IN PLACE ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN
THIS AFTERNOON. A FULL DAY OF MIXING HAS ALLOWED WINDS TO GUST UP
TO 35 MPH AT TIMES. MEANWHILE...SHORTWAVE HAS BEGUN TO PUSH ACROSS
NORTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN...PRODUCING AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD FRONT IS DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS UPPER
MICHIGAN...WITH WINDS BECOMING WEST TO NORTHWEST ACROSS THE LAKE
SUPERIOR SHORELINE. THIS HAS ALLOWED FOR A CONVERGENCE AXIS TO SET
UP THIS AFTERNOON TRIGGERING A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS EASTERN
UPPER MICHIGAN IN THE VICINITY OF WHITEFISH BAY. FORECAST CONCERNS
WILL CONTINUE TO REVOLVE AROUND PRECIPITATION CHANCES WITH THE
COLD FRONT TONIGHT...THEN CHANCES AS THE FRONT LIFTS BACK TO THE
NORTH AS A WARM FRONT TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT. MODELS ARE
HANDLING THE NEXT 24 HOURS REASONABLY WELL.

TONIGHT...SHORTWAVE WILL PROGRESS ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN DURING
THE EVENING HOURS. WAVE SHOULD BE A QUICK MOVER WITH CURRENT BATCH
OF PRECIPITATION DEPARTING BY 00Z. HOWEVER...0-6KM BULK SHEAR
VALUES AROUND 40 KNOTS WILL LEAD TO A THREAT FOR DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS THROUGH THE THE EARLY AND MID EVENING HOURS. COLD FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO SETTLE SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN...BUT LACK
OF ANY FORCING (OUTSIDE OF DIURNAL PROCESSES)...WILL KEEP THE
FRONT FAIRLY QUIET AS IT DROPS THROUGH THE AREA.
REGARDLESS...HARD TO GO COMPLETELY DRY GIVEN THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...SO WILL LEAVE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN ALONG THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVERNIGHT. THE THREAT WILL BE SHIFTING SOUTHWARD
THROUGH THE NIGHT. LOWS TONIGHT WILL REMAIN MILDER TONIGHT WITH
INCREASED WINDS AND DEWPOINTS. THUS...LOWS WILL REMAIN MAINLY IN
THE 50S TONIGHT WITH A FEW 60S POSSIBLE.

TOMORROW...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN STALLED ACROSS CENTRAL
LOWER MICHIGAN THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. WITH 850-700MB RH
FALLING TO UNDER 40 PERCENT...WITH LITTLE OR NO FORCING IN THE
AREA...CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BET THAT THE MORNING WILL
REMAIN DRY. HOWEVER...BY LATE IN THE DAY...A SHORTWAVE WILL EMERGE
OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS...ACTING TO PUSH THE FRONT BACK TO THE
NORTH AS A WARM FRONT. THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE SOUTH OF THE GRAND TRAVERSE BAY REGION...THEN
EVENTUALLY SPREADING NORTHWARD INTO THE EVENING HOURS. HIGHS WILL
VARY FROM THE 70S NORTH TO THE 80S SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON.

KAS

REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST (WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)...MORE
SUMMER LIKE PATTERN APPEARS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS UPPER
LEVEL HEIGHTS REMAIN PRETTY HIGH ACROSS THE REGION. THERE WILL BE
LOTS OF CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE REMAINDER
OF THE WORK WEEK AND AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A BREAK POSSIBLE IN
BETWEEN THIS WEEKEND. THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL REVOLVE AROUND
POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PERIOD.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...SURFACE WARM FRONT REMAINS DRAPED
ACROSS THE REGION. POSSIBLE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH
THE FLOW COMBINED WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION (THETA-E RIDGE DRAPED
ACROSS NORTHERN MICHIGAN) COULD GENERATE PRECIPITATION AT ANY TIME
DURING THIS PERIOD (HIGH CHANCE POPS). IT WILL BE MORE HUMID WITH
LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
80S.

FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A
SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY AFTERNOON
(NORTHWEST) AND FRIDAY EVENING (SOUTHEAST) SO WILL HAVE HIGH CHANCE
POPS FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS. IT SHOULD REMAIN RATHER HUMID WITH
HIGHS AGAIN RANGING FROM THE MIDDLE 70S NORTH TO THE MIDDLE 80S
SOUTHEAST.

SATURDAY...WEAK SURFACE RIDGE TRIES TO BUILD DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST
BUT THERE REALLY DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE SURFACE FRONT WILL PROGRESS
TOO FAR TO OUR SOUTH AND COULD END UP MOVING NORTH AGAIN AND
STALLING OVER THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO BE OPTIMISTIC WITH NO POPS.
HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE 70S TO LOWER 80S.

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...EXTENDED MODELS ARE HAVING A BIT OF A HARD
TIME WITH THE PATTERN. ECMWF AND GFS ARE TRYING TO BRING A TROUGH
DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST EITHER LATE IN THE WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT
WEEK. IN ADDITION...SURFACE WARM FRONT LOOKS TO BE NEAR THE AREA.
HOWEVER...WILL LEAVE OUT POPS ON SUNDAY AND LET MODELS SORT
THEMSELVES OUT. CHANCE POPS THEREAFTER DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF THE
FRONT AND TROUGH. SIMILAR HIGHS OF THE MIDDLE 70S TO MIDDLE 80S.

SULLIVAN

&&

.AVIATION... /ISSUED 122 PM EDT TUE JUL 15 2008/

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
HOWEVER...SOME MID CLOUDS HAVE BEEN WORKING EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN
WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON...PRODUCING SOME PRECIPITATION AT THE
SURFACE. CLOUD BASES REMAIN AT OR GREATER THAN 6KFT. THERE HAS BEEN
THUNDER WITH THIS ACTIVITY...AND IT WILL SPREAD INTO THE VICINITY OF
THE TAF SITES BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A COLD FRONT
DROPPING SOUTHWARD WILL PUSH ALL THE ACTIVITY SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS...EVENTUALLY DEPARTING ALL THE TAF SITES BY MIDNIGHT.
THEN...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MIDDAY TOMORROW.
