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 Jul 11, 4:06 AM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 11, 4:06 AM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
406 AM CDT MON JUL 11 2011

UPDATED TO ADD TODAY/TONIGHT AND AVIATION SECTIONS

.TODAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...HIGH

ONGOING COUPLE OF MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS EARLY THIS MORNING
SHOULD RUN THEIR COURSE BY MID MORNING BEFORE PUSHING TO THE EAST.
FIRST SQUALL LINE THAT STARTED IN THE DAKOTAS HAD SHOWN A WEAKENING
TREND IN BOTH WARMING IR TOPS AND REFLECTIVITIES BUT HAS PERKED UP
AGAIN MOVING ACROSS THE WISCONSIN RIVER VALLEY.

OF MORE INTEREST IS FAST MOVING TRAILING MCS WITH A COUPLE OF
EMBEDDED BOW ECHOES THAT SHOULD MOVE ALONG THE WI/IL BORDER AREA
EARLY THIS MORNING.  SEVERAL MEASURED WIND GUSTS AROUND 50 KNOTS
INCLUDING THE OMA AND DSM AREAS AS IT HAS MOVED ALONG.

WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE THE POPS THIS AFTERNOON THOUGH GUT FEELING
IS THAT MOST OF THE ACTION IS OVER BY LATE MORNING AND DRYING WILL
COMMENCE WITH CONFLUENCE SHIFTING TO THE SOUTH OF WISCONSIN AND FLOW
BECOMING MORE NORTHWEST AT 850 MB.

.TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...HIGH

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TO THE NORTH WITH DRIER AIR AND CLEAR TO
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.

.TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

A WEAK MID/UPPER LEVEL WAVE STILL EXPECTED TO DROP THROUGH THE AREA
TUE AND TUE NIGHT. KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING FOR AREAS MAINLY SOUTH OF
FOND DU LAC AND SHEBOYGAN...WITH THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE SW TOWARD
THE BEST MOISTURE AND LIFT. CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/STORMS WILL PUSH
SOUTH TUE NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH...WITH
PRECIP EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH OF THE WI/IL BORDER BY WED MORNING.

.WEDNESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM TO HIGH

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SIT OVER THE GREAT LAKES WED AND WED
NIGHT...BRINGING QUIET CONDITIONS TO THE FORECAST AREA. SHOULD BE A
VERY PLEASANT DAY...WITH THE HIGH BRINGING A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUN
ALONG WITH A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS.

.THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...LOW TO MEDIUM

UPPER RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY...REMAINING IN PLACE AND STRENGTHENING THROUGH SUNDAY. IF
THIS PATTERN HOLDS...THE ONE THING THAT SEEMS CERTAIN IS THAT IT
WILL HEAT UP. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS SUGGESTING 90S AWAY FROM THE
LAKE BY SUNDAY...WITH THE ECMWF SUGGESTING AROUND 100 IN THE WESTERN
FORECAST AREA. THE STRENGTH/PLACEMENT OF THE RIDGE AND IMPACT OF
POSSIBLE CLOUDS/CONVECTION WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE HOW HOT IT
GETS...BUT THE OVERALL PICTURE IS GETTING WARMER THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

PRECIP CHANCES REMAIN A BIT OF A PUZZLE LATE IN THE WEEK AND THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. SEEMS LIKE A BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/STORMS ALONG THE
EDGE OF THE RIDGE AS IT BUILDS IN THU AND FRIDAY THAN OVER THE
WEEKEND. THE UPPER HIGH BECOMES CENTERED OVER IA/MO BY
SUNDAY...WHICH MAY CLOSE THE DOOR ON PRECIP FOR THE TIME. NOT A LOT
OF CONFIDENCE IN PRECIP FORECAST...SO JUST KEPT LOW POPS GOING
THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...

THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THIS MORNING.  FIRST BATCH OF
STORMS WILL STAY JUST NORTH OF THE TAF SITES THROUGH 11Z THOUGH
COULD CLIP KMSN SHORTLY.

NEXT BATCH ON TAP FOR ROUGHLY 1230Z AT MSN AND ABOUT 14 TO 15Z AT
KMKE.  THIS LINE HAS PRODUCED WIND GUSTS APPROACHING 50 KNOTS AT
BOTH OMA AND DSM OVERNIGHT SO POTENTIAL FOR 35+ KNOT GUSTS AS IT
MOVES THROUGH THIS MORNING.

BRIEFLY MVFR TO IFR IN THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING THEN VFR
CONDITIONS RETURN FOR THE AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT.

.MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WI...NONE.
LM...NONE.
