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.

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 Jul 16, 3:24 AM CDT, 10 hours 7 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 16, 3:24 AM CDT, 10 hours 7 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
324 AM CDT WED JUL 16 2008

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM DEALS WITH QUASI-STATIONARY
BOUNDARY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER/HEAVY RAINFALL.

DATA ANALYSIS EARLY THIS MORNING HAD A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING
FROM SOUTHERN SD THROUGH SOUTHERN MN...THROUGH CENTRAL WI. IR
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING SOME DEBRIS CIRRUS FROM A THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEX OVER EASTERN NEB REACHING INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. OTHERWISE...MUGGY CONDITIONS WERE IN PLACE ALONG AND
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI WHERE TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE LOWER 70S/DEW
POINTS IN THE MID 60S TO AROUND 70. COOLER TEMPERATURES WERE ACROSS
CENTRAL WISCONSIN...MAINLY IN THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S.

16.00Z GFS/NAM/ECMWF IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN BRINGING A WEAK MID-LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TROUGH INTO THE DAKOTAS THIS MORNING. THIS WILL SERVE TO
SPIN UP A SURFACE LOW OVER SD WHICH WILL AID IN LIFTING THE STATIONARY
FRONT IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA A BIT FURTHER NORTH...VICINITY I-94
BY THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS ALSO IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN STRENGTHENING
925-850MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE BOUNDARY. MCS INITIATION LOOKS
LIKELY THIS MORNING ACROSS EASTERN ND/WESTERN MN ON THE NOSE OF THIS
TRANSPORT...PROPAGATING EAST INTO THE AREA WITH NEW CONVECTIVE
INITIATION ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WILL
CARRY LIKELY POPS ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM LAKE CITY THROUGH
BLACK RIVER FALLS...WITH LESSER CHANCES SOUTH AS STRONGER CAP
REMAINS IN PLACE. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL ACROSS THE
LIKELY POP AREA ALSO AS 0-3KM MLCAPE INCREASES TO NEAR 2000J/KG
RANGE WITH 0-3KM SHEAR INCREASING TO 20-30KT.

FOR TONIGHT...MODERATE TO STRONG 925-850MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT
CONTINUES TO FEED INTO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE NORTH WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATERS EXCEEDING 2 INCHES. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL POTENTIAL ACROSS THAT AREA WITH FURTHER MCS ACTIVITY
EXPECTED. WILL LIKELY ISSUE AN ESF BASED ON THIS SIGNAL AND WILL
DISCUSS HEAVY RAIN FURTHER IN HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW.

FOR THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN BRINGING
ANOTHER MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH/SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE UPPER
MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES REGION THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS
WILL LAY UP ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA WITH PARALLEL
FLOW ALOFT. THE POTENTIAL WILL AGAIN EXIST FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL AS
PRECIPITABLE WATER CONTINUES TO HOVER AROUND 2 INCHES.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY

16.00Z GFS/ECMWF IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. BOTH MODELS
SHOWING MID-LEVEL WAVE/WEAK SURFACE LOW MOVING EAST ACROSS THE AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY FOR A CONTINUED CHANCE OF SHRA/TS.
MODELS THEN SHOW A CLOSED LOW FORMING OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT
LAKES REGION MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THE GFS HOLDS IT FURTHER WEST
OVER THE AREA WHEREAS THE ECMWF HAS IT A BIT FURTHER EAST INTO THE
GREAT LAKES. EITHER WAY...WITH COOLER POOL OF AIR ALOFT...THERE
STAND OF CHANCE FOR INSTABILITY SHRA/TS EACH DAY. TEMPERATURES COULD
ALSO BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS. CURRENT EXTENDED GRIDS
SEEM TO HAVE THIS HANDLED...SO NO CHANGES WERE MADE.

&&

.AVIATION...

NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA INTO CENTRAL
WISCONSIN THIS MORNING EXPECTED TO DRIFT NORTH THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY. THIS SHOULD HAPPEN IN RESPONSE THE STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL
FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SURFACE HIGH OVER THE OHIO RIVER
VALLEY. THE 16.00Z NAM BUFKIT SOUNDINGS AGAIN SHOW A CAPPED
ATMOSPHERE SOUTH OF THE FRONT. THIS SUGGESTS THERE WILL BE LITTLE OR
NO ACTIVITY IN THE VICINITY OF EITHER TAF SITE THROUGH THE PERIOD. A
SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL COME OUT OF NORTH DAKOTA AND TRACK TOWARD THE
UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN THROUGH TONIGHT. THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL
BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE SHORT WAVE THROUGH
AND WHILE THE MAIN MOISTURE TRANSPORT SHOULD BE TO THE NORTH OF THE
AREA INTO THE FRONT...BOTH TAF SITES MAY BE ON THE EASTERN GRADIENT
OF THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT AXIS. THIS MAY BE ENOUGH TO GET SOME
SCATTERED ACTIVITY GOING FOR A WHILE IN THE AFTERNOON AND WILL
CONTINUE THE VICINITY SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON. AFTER THAT...EXPECT
THE ACTIVITY TO BE WELL TO THE NORTH.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

A STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVER SOUTHERN MN THROUGH CENTRAL WI WILL DRIFT
NORTH TODAY TO ALONG A LAKE CITY THROUGH BLACK RIVER FALLS LINE
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. A STRONGER SURGE OF MOISTURE WILL WORK
NORTHWARD INTO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TONIGHT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES EXCEEDING 2 INCHES. THIS WILL PRODUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
HEAVY RAINFALL WITH SOME AREAS NORTH OF A LAKE CITY THROUGH BLACK
RIVER FALLS LINE RECEIVING UP TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL. THE SOILS
ACROSS THE AREA WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE MOST OF THIS RAINFALL...BUT
IF THE RAIN BECOMES EXCESSIVELY HEAVY...SOME RUNOFF PROBLEMS MAY
OCCUR WITH RAPID RISES ON SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS. WILL LIKELY
ISSUE AN ESF PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTING THIS CONCERN.
