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 Milwaukee, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 25, 3:44 PM CDT, 4 hours 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 25, 3:44 PM CDT, 4 hours 51 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
344 PM CDT SUN MAY 25 2008

FORECAST FOCUS ON SEVERE CHANCES TONIGHT...AND TEMPERATURES
TUE/WED BEHIND COLD FRONT.

.TONIGHT...VORTICITY MAXIMUM OVER SE SD WILL QUICKLY MOVE E-NEWD
ACROSS SRN MN AND CENTRAL WI THIS EVENING. IT WILL CATCH THE COLD
FRONT AND ENCOUNTER A VERY UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR WITH LI/S OF -8 TO
-12C FROM MN SWD INTO IA. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF AND ALONG
COLD FRONT WILL BE STRONGEST OVER MN WHICH IS CLOSER TO THE SFC LOW
THAT IS MOVING EWD ACROSS NRN MN.

GIVEN STRONG DEEP WIND SHEAR...CONFIDENT SUPERCELLS AND EVENTUAL
MCS DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR FROM SRN MN INTO CNTRL WI BUT UNSURE
HOW FAR SOUTH COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL BE. VERY WEAK CAP OVER IA
BUT SFC CONVERGENCE IS WEAKER AND VORTICITY MAXIMUM TO MISS THIS
AREA TO THE NORTH. BELIEVE ISOLD TO POSSIBLY SCT DEVELOPMENT WILL
OCCUR OVER IA BUT NOT ORGANIZE INTO MCS. SOME OF THESE STORMS
SHOULD HOLD TOGETHER TO AFFECT THE CWA WHILE THE EXPECTED MCS TO
THE NORTH COULD CLIP THE NRN CWA.

FCSTD LIKELY POPS IN THE FAR NORTH AND FAR WRN CWA BUT WITH
CHANCE ELSEWHERE DUE TO UNCERTAINTY OF COVERAGE. DID ADD SEVERE
WORDING IN SOUTH CENTRAL WI. 0-6 KM SHEAR OF 40-50 KTS AND
EVENTUAL MLCAPE VALUES OF 1000-1600 J/KG ONCE WARM SECTOR ARRIVES
WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS AND/OR LINE SEGMENTS. ISOLD TORS POSSIBLE
GIVEN LOW LCLS IN WARM SECTOR AND 0-1 KM SHEAR OF 20-30 KTS.

.SHORT TERM...LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END AS PRE-
FRONTAL TROF MOVES EAST OF CWA MON MORNING...WITH TEMPS WARMING TO
THE MID TO UPR 70S AHEAD OF COLD FRONT THAT DROPS N TO S BETWEEN
00Z AND 06Z. WILL LEAVE CHANCE OF SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDER
FOR THE DAY MONDAY WITH ELEVATED CAPE AND LOW TO MID Q VECTOR
CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF FRONT...THOUGH CAP DEVELOPS BEHIND PRE-
FRONTAL TROF SO WILL ONLY HAVE SLGT CHC OF SHOWERS WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE.

STILL LOOKING FOR A RAPID INCREASE IN WINDS OVER THE LAKE
PUSHING A COUNTY OR TWO INLAND WITH A SHARP DROP IN TEMPS WITH
FRONTAL PASSAGE. BELOW NORMAL TEMPS THE RULE EARLY IN THE WEEK AS
MOS GUIDANCE STRUGGLES TO REACH 60 AWAY FROM THE LAKE TUE...WITH
AROUND 50 ALONG THE LAKE. HOWEVER...MIXING UP TO FCST 925 MB AND
850 TEMPS GIVES A CATEGORY WARMER HI TEMP SO WILL GO WITH THAT.

HIGH SETTLES OVER STATE WITH DRY WEATHER THRU THURSDAY. TEMPS
GRADUALLY WARM WED AND THURSDAY...THO LAKE INFLUENCE WILL KEEP FAR
EAST COOLER.

.LONG TERM...GFS AND ECMWF BRING VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE ACROSS THE
REGION SATURDAY. RETURN FLOW AHEAD OF WAVE AND ASSOC SFC LOW WILL
WARM TEMPS INTO THE MID UPPER 70S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THUNDER
CHANCES INCREASE WITH WARM FRONT FRIDAY AND SFC LOW TRACKING
ACROSS CNTRL WI SATURDAY. SPC OUTLOOK FOR DAY 6 INCLUDES SW HALF
OF CWA THAT FALLS INTO THE WARM SECTOR.

&&

.AVIATION...AREAS OF MVFR CIGS OVER SRN WI WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EARLY EVENING AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SURGES INTO THE REGION. SCT TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTORMS ARE THEN EXPECTED ACROSS SRN WI
TNT WITH LESSER CHANCES ON MON AS A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT CURRENTLY
OVER WRN MN MOVES SEWD ACROSS WI. SOME STORMS MAY BE SEVERE THIS
EVENING. AREAS OF MVFR CIGS MAY OCCUR AT TIMES OVER SRN WI THROUGH
MON WITH MVFR CIGS AND IFR VSBYS IN TSTORMS.

&&

.MARINE...STILL LOOKS LIKE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY EVENT IN STORE
FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUE AS STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS PUSH DOWN LAKE
MICHIGAN BEHIND COLD FRONT.
