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 Jun 28, 2:45 AM CDT, 10 hours 39 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 2:45 AM CDT, 10 hours 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
245 AM CDT SAT JUN 28 2008

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH RAIN CHANCES THIS
WEEKEND...ALONG WITH BRISK WINDS TODAY AND SUNDAY.

EARLY MORNING ANALYSIS HAD SURFACE LOW NEAR MANITOBA/MINNESOTA
BORDER...WITH COLD FRONT EXTENDING ACROSS EASTERN WI INTO NORTHWEST
IL. IN THE WAKE OF FRONT...DRIER AIR FILTERING IN ON WESTERLY WINDS
AS EVIDENCED BY UPSTREAM SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE 50S. 11-3.9
MICRON SATELLITE IMAGERY AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED VIGOROUS MID
LEVEL CIRCULATION SITUATED NEAR DAKOTAS BORDER. RADAR MOSAIC SHOWED
SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS DAKOTAS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE.

28.00Z NCEP AND EUROPEAN DETERMINISTIC MODELS...AS WELL AS NCEP
SREF...HAD GOOD CLUSTERING OF UPPER LEVEL AND SURFACE FEATURES
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AS A RESULT...THERE
WAS OVERALL HIGH CONFIDENCE IN DETAILS OF FORECAST DATA BASE. OF
SPECIAL NOTE...PROBABILISTIC DATA INDICATED THE MID LEVEL CIRCULATION
TO AFFECT THE AREA TODAY WAS AROUND 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW
NORMAL WITH RESPECT TO 500MB HEIGHTS AND 850MB TEMPERATURES.

TODAY INTO THE EVENING...MID LEVEL CIRCULATION DROPS SOUTHEASTWARD...
TRANSITING THE FORECAST AREA DURING PEAK HEATING. THERMODYNAMIC
ENVIRONMENT APPEARS TO BE A CLASSIC SETUP FOR LOW-TOP CONVECTION...AS
SUPPORTED BY T-Q INDICES OF 18C. IN ADDITION...500MB TEMPERATURES OF
MINUS 20C SUPPORT STEEP LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 8-9C/KM. AS
A RESULT...CONVECTION ANTICIPATED TO DEVELOP BENEATH COLD POOL
ALOFT...BECOMING MOST ACTIVE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

BUFKIT FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATED A SKINNY CAPE PROFILE...WHICH
SUPPORTS POTENTIAL FOR SMALL HAIL THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
DESPITE LACK OF SURFACE CONVERGENCE...500-300MB PV-ADVECTION SIGNAL
SHOULD AID IN FORCING TO TRIGGER CONVECTION. IN ADDITION...
ANOMALOUSLY COLD AIR ALOFT SUGGESTIVE OF POSSIBILITY FOR COLD AIR
FUNNELS DURING THE AFOREMENTIONED TIME PERIOD.

OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY...MID LEVEL CIRCULATION LIFTS ACROSS GREAT
LAKES INTO SOUTHEAST CANADA. MEANWHILE...MODELS HAVE HAD A CONSISTENT
SIGNAL OF SHORT WAVE DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY ON SUNDAY. THIS FEATURE WAS REFLECTED IN 500-300MB PV-
ADVECTION. WITH CYCLONIC FLOW...STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND
T-Q INDICES OF 16C-18C...LOW-END RAIN CHANCE APPEARS WARRANTED ON
SUNDAY...AS IN CURRENT DATA BASE.

DUE TO STEEP LAPSE RATES TODAY AND AGAIN SUNDAY...BRISK WINDS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY WIND PRONE LOCATIONS
IN SOUTHEAST MN AND NORTHEAST IOWA. NUDGED WIND GUST SPEEDS UPWARD
TODAY FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS...AS WELL AS HIGH TERRAIN OF
SOUTHWEST WI.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN WAS ASSOCIATED WITH RAIN CHANCES DURING THE
MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK. 28.00Z GFS AND ECMWF DETERMINISTIC MODELS
WERE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON COLD FRONT DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA ABOUT MIDWEEK. ENSEMBLE MEAN ALSO SUPPORTED THIS
SOLUTION. THUS...FORECAST CONFIDENCE WAS FAIRLY HIGH THAT RAIN
CHANCES WARRANTED IN THIS TIME FRAME.

LOOKING TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK...CURRENT DATA BASE WAS WEIGHTED
TOWARD DRY REGIME OF GFS. ON THE OTHER HAND...NCEP MREF AND 28.00Z
ECMWF SUGGEST RAIN CHANCES MAY BE WARRANTED ON FRIDAY...SHOULD
SURFACE FRONT LAG BACK IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE FORECAST AREA.
UNTIL MODEL CONSENSUS IMPROVES...NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THIS
PORTION OF THE EXTENDED OUTLOOK.

&&

.AVIATION...
DRY SLOT POST THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE HAS RESULTED IN CLEAR SKIES
ACROSS A GOOD CHUNK OF THE REGION...INCLUDING KRST/KLSE. CLOUDS WILL
RETURN LATER TODAY THOUGH...AS A 500 MB LOW MOVES ACROSS THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. ADD COLD AIR ALOFT AND AFTERNOON
INSTABILITY TO THIS UPPER LEVEL FORCING...AND SCT -SHRA/TS WILL BE
POSSIBLE...FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE EVENING. CEILINGS LOOK TO
BE MOSTLY IN THE VFR RANGE...BUT A DIP INTO MVFR LOOKS POSSIBLE
LATER TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION TO THE CLOUDS AND
PCPN CHANCES...A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RESULT IN GUSTY WEST
WINDS THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND NIGHT. CONDITIONS FOR SUNDAY LOOK TO
MIRROR TODAY.

TONIGHT. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW OF THESE STORMS TO BECOME
STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE FROM LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY
EVENING...PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. THE MORE
FAVORABLE PERIOD WOULD BE FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM.

IN ADDITION...WITH ANOMALOUSLY COLD AIR ALOFT...AND THE STRONG

DEVELOPMENT. COLD AIR FUNNELS NORMALLY DO NOT REACH THE
GROUND...AND AS A RESULT...THEY RARELY DO ANY DAMAGE AND LAST ONLY A
FEW MINUTES.
