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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
348 AM CDT WED JUL 2 2008

.SHORT TERM...SHOWERS AND TSTORMS ARE PRESENT ALONG THE COLD
FRONT OVER UPPER MI AND FAR NRN WI WHILE WARM ADVECTION ACTIVITY
IS DEVELOPING OVER NW IA. MODELS SUGGEST ACTIVITY WITHIN WAA OVER
IA WILL DEVELOP NEWD THIS MORNING AND PROBABLY AFFECT THE WRN AND
NRN CWA AROUND AND AFTER 15Z. COLD FRONT WILL THEN SHIFT SWD
THROUGH THE CWA MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH MAIN POLAR TROUGH
AND ASSOCIATED HT. FALLS WILL REMAIN OVER THE NRN GREAT LAKES AND
SRN CANADA...CONVERGENCE ALONG COLD FRONT AND WEAK CAP WILL RESULT
IN NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. MUCAPES AROUND
2000 J/KG ARE CURRENTLY ANALYZED BY THE RUC ALONG THE FRONT OVER
CENTRAL MN AND ARE ANTICIPATED THIS AFTERNOON OVER SRN WI ALONG
WITH 35 KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR. MULTICELLULAR STORMS ARE EXPECTED
BUT A COUPLE SUPERCELLS ARE POSSIBLE. STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
AROUND 7 C/KM AND DELTA THETAE AROUND 18C WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR
SVR DOWNBURSTS AND LARGE HAIL IN THE STRONGER STORMS. ALTHOUGH PWS
MAY INCREASE TO 1.6 INCHES...STORM MOTION AROUND 25 KTS AND
PROPAGATING COLD FRONT SHOULD LIMIT THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT. A
CHANCE OF STORMS WILL LINGER IN THE EARLY EVENING WITH COLD
ADVECTION TO TAKE HOLD AFTERWARD AS WINDS TURN NLY.

.LONG TERM...
WEAK NW FLOW ALOFT AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL FROM THU INTO
SAT. THE CU RULE SUGGESTS SCT-BKN CLOUD COVER FOR THU WHILE A WEAK
SHORTWAVE MAY BRING SCT-BKN CLOUD COVER THU NT AND FRI. DRY
WEATHER ANTICIPATED DURING THIS TIME WITH DRY AIR IN LOW TO MID
LEVELS. IN WAKE OF COLD ADVECTION...TEMPS WILL BE RELATIVELY COOL
ON THU AND THEN WARM A FEW DEGREES EACH DAY INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...COLD FRONT MOVING FROM NORTHWEST WISCONSIN WILL SWEEP
ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN DURING AFTERNOON HOURS. EXPECT VFR
CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY WITH EXCEPTION OF A
PERIOD OF MVFR CONDITIONS IN VICINITY OF FRONT. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF FRONT WITH LOCAL IFR
VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS OCCURRING IN STRONGEST STORMS...ALONG WITH
GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL. ATTEMPTED TIMING OF STORMS IN TAF FORECASTS
WILL BE REFINED AS ONGOING CONVECTION OVER NORTHWEST WISCONSIN
APPROACHES AREA. SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS TO BECOMING
WESTERLY AROUND 10 KNOTS WITH COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE AND THEN TURN TO
NORTHEAST 10 TO 20 KNOTS BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS MAY APPROACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA THIS
MORNING AHEAD OF COLD FRONT OVER NORTHWEST WISCONSIN. HOWEVER AS
FRONT NEARS LAKESHORE AREA LATER THIS MORNING...WINDS WILL DECREASE
AS PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES. FRONT MAY TRIGGER SEVERE STORMS DURING
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS WHICH WILL CAUSE WINDS AND WAVES TO BE
HIGHER NEAR THE STRONGEST STORMS. AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...NORTH TO NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS AROUND 20 KNOTS ARE
POSSIBLE AND MAY LINGER AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. STILL SOME
INDICATIONS OF A PNEUMONIA FRONT AFTER THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.
DURATION OF HIGHER WINDS WITH THIS FRONT EXPECTED TO BE SHORT LIVED
AT THE MOMENT. SO WILL NOT ISSUE HEADLINES AT THIS TIME...BUT WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
