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.

NWS Milwaukee, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 12, 1:38 PM CDT, 11 hours 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 1:38 PM CDT, 11 hours 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
138 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2008

VERY ACTIVE NIGHT IN STORE. EXPECT REPEATED DEVELOPMENT OF
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CWA. RIGHT REAR ENTRANCE OF THE UPPER JET
IS PARKED OVER THE REGION AND WILL SUPPLY AMPLE DEEP LIFT. VERY
MOIST AIR FLOWING NORTH WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2
INCHES. WK SFC TROF/WMFNT WORKING NORTH LATE THIS AFTERNOON
EVENING. GOOD LLV SHEAR WITH SE FLOW AHEAD THIS TROF.  THIS IS A
VERY BAD SITUATION FOR AN ALEADY SATURATED REGION. WE COULD SEE
RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN SOME AREAS EXCEED 3 INCHES. THE FOCUS FOR THE
HEAVIEST RAIN LOOKS TO BE ALONG AND SE OF A LINE STRETCHING FROM
DUBUQUE IOWA NORTHWEST THROUGH DANE COUNTY TO GREEN LAKE COUNTY.
SAUK COUNTY WILL LIKELY GET SOME THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY
RAIN...BUT THE WORST SHOULD BE SE OF THIS REGION.

FLASH FLOODING WILL OCCUR IN SOME AREAS. IN ADDITION TO THE
FLOODING...LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND AND A FEW TORNADOES ARE
POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE VERY SATURATED SOILS...IT WILL BE EASIER FOR
THE WIND TO KNOCK DONW TREES AND POWER LINES.

RAIN CHANCES REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH INTO FRIDAY...MAINLY SOUTHEAST...AS
THE PATTERN IS SLOW TO MOVE EAST.

EVENTUALLY THE UPPER FLOW PATTERN WILL BE SHIFTING FROM A MOIST
AND ACTIVE SW FLOW TO A WEST NORTHWEST FLOW THAT WILL TURN MUCH
QUIETER NEXT WEEK. THERE IS SOME SUGGESTION OF A STRONG COMPLEX
COMING THROUGH HERE SUN AFT/EVE WITH THE MAIN COLD FRONT AND
POSSIBLE S/W. THE GFS IS VERY STRONG WITH THIS...BUT LOOKS
OVERDONE.

MON THROUGH THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK IS LOOKING DRY AND COOLER.

&&

.AVIATION...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
THE PERIOD...WANING TOWARD 18Z. EXPECT MVFR AND POSSIBLE IFR
CONDITIONS IN AND AROUND THE STORMS. ATMOSPHERE IS VERY MOIST
WHICH WILL HELP TO QUICKLY LOWER THE CIGS AND VSBYS AROUND THE
STORMS.
