The radar

The Green Bay radar (KGRB), 98 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:42 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Green Bay/Straub, WI (KGRB), launched 00:00Z, 0.7 hours before the alert went out and 99 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 19, 3:51 PM CDT, 3 hours 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
451 PM EDT FRI AUG 19 2011

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON/...
MCS DEVELOPED OUT AHEAD OF COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES AND MOVED ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING.  STORMS PRODUCED SOME
GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL...AND EVEN A WEAK TORNADO IN ONTONAGON.
SKIES HAVE CLEARED ENOUGH FOR DECENT HEATING AND RECOVER OF
INSTABIILTY WITH MLCAPE VALUES TO 2K J/KG. SCT/ISOLD TSRA THAT HAD
DEVELOPED OVER SW UPPER MI INTO CNTRL UPPER MI WILL CONTINUE INTO
EARLY THIS EVENING AS THEY MOVE INTO THE ERN CWA.

DRY AIR WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. WITH JUST SOME HIGH CLOUDS AROUND
TONIGHT AND RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS...TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL OFF
CLOSE TO THEIR SEASON NORMALS AROUND 50 TO MID 50S.

SATURDAY...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN MN BY LATE IN
THE DAY WHICH MAY TOUCH OFF A FEW SHRAS AND TSRAS OVER THERE THAT
MIGHT FLIRT WITH FAR WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR AND EVEN FAR WESTERN
SECTIONS OF THE U.P. TOWARDS EVENING. HOWEVER...WITH DRIER WESTERLY
FLOW EXPECTED AND LIMITED MOISTURE DO NOT ANTICIPATE MUCH
COVERAGE. 85H TEMPS WILL BE 6-8 DEGREES LOWER TOMORROW THAN TODAY
AND THUS HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD STAY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...MODELS SHOW ENOUGH PATTERN AMPLIFICATION
WITH MID-UPR LVL LOW OVER HUDSON BAY AND TROF EXTENDING INTO THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES TO ALLOW A STRONGER SHORTWAVE TO SLIDE INTO THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES SAT EVENING. MODERATE 700-300 MB QVECTOR CONV AND
250-300 MB JET STREAK NOSING INTO AREA SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
ISOLD TO SCT SHRA INTO THE CWA DESPITE LIMITED MOISTURE
AVAILABLE...PER GFS/NAM/SREF. ONLY LIMITED CONFIDENCE THOUGH GIVEN
MODEL CHANGES IN TIMING/POSITION OF THIS FEATURE WITH MODELS CHANGE
IN TIMING AND WEAKER ECMWF/GEM SOLUTIONS.

MONDAY...FGEN MAY LEAD TO A BAND OF PCPN ALONG THE 850-700 MB
FRONTAL BNDRY INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION. HOWEVER...WITH ONLY
WEAK TO MODERATE FORCING AND THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE
INFLOW...NO MENTION OF PCPN WAS INCLUDED IN THE FCST.

TUE THROUGH FRI...LOW CONFIDENCE FCST GIVEN MODELS VARIATION AND
LACK OF CONTINUITY WITH DIFFICULT TO TIME SHORTWAVES AND AMOUNT OF
PATTERN AMPLIFICATION. ANOTHER WEAK FRONTAL BNDRY OR SHORTWAVE MAY
MOVE INTO THE NRN GREAT LAKES TUE NIGHT INTO EARLY WED. THE 00Z/12Z
ECMWF REMAINED STRONGER WITH THIS FEATURE COMPARED TO THE GFS AND GFS
ENSEMBLES. SO...KEPT AT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR NOW. THE 12Z GFS AND
ECMWF HAVE BACKED OFF OF THE STRONGER SURGE OF COOLER AIR INTO THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES COMPARED TO THE 00Z/06Z GFS/GFS ENSEMBLE AND 00Z
ECMWF. 850 MB TEMPS WERE ONLY FCST DOWN TO 10C TO 12C COMPARED TO 2C
TO 4C INTO THE ERN CWA WITH EARLIER RUNS. TEMPS SHOULD COOL BACK TO
OR BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /FOR THE 18Z TAF ISSUANCE/...

SURFACE FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS UPPER MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON WITH A
WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST. WINDS WILL LIKELY GET GUST FOR A TIME THIS
AFTERNOON AT KCMX DUE TO THE FAVORABLE WESTERLY DIRECTION. CANNOT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SHRA OR TSRA ALONG THE FRONT AS IT
PASSES THROUGH KSAW THIS AFTERNOON...BUT LEFTOVER CLOUD DEBRIS FROM
MORNING RAINFALL WILL LIMIT ANY CHANCES.  EXPECT VFR CIGS/VSBYS
THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
&&

.MARINE /FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE/...

COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH THROUGH LAKE SUPERIOR THIS AFTERNOON
AND WILL EXIT THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION BY SATURDAY MORNING.
WINDS WILL INCREASE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT...WHICH WILL
PRODUCE GUSTS TO 25-30 KNOTS LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY IN THE
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND WILL
DOMINATE THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY. WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 20
KNOTS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH
THE CANADIAN PRAIRIE PROVINCES INTO NORTHWEST ONTARIO ON WEDNESDAY
WILL BRING GUSTY WINDS TO 30 KNOTS WEDNESDAY.
