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.

LATEST UPDATE...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 343 AM EDT Fri Jul 8 2016
Another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected today as a
cold front swings east through the Lower Peninsula. Some of the
storms this afternoon could be strong to severe with damaging winds.
The cold front will bring cooler and less humid air into the region
this evening and especially tonight. A few showers are possible
tonight into Saturday morning. Saturday will be mainly dry however
with cooler than normal temperatures in the 70s. A dry Sunday is
expected with temperatures rebounding to around 80 degrees.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 343 AM EDT Fri Jul 8 2016
A cold front is poised upstream of the area at 07z, stretching across
portions of Central Wisconsin back into Central Iowa. A warm and
humid airmass remains in place ahead of the front with a corridor of
1000-2000 J/Kg of CAPE noted just ahead of it. Dew points remain in
the 60s across Lower Michigan, which should rise as the front
approaches. Aloft, the main upper shortwave is clearing seen
spinning into the northern Great Lakes which is touching off new
convection across portions of Wisconsin.
SPC has placed much of the area in a Slight risk today for severe
storms and cannot argue with it. The mid level shortwave will be
pushing into northern Lower Michigan this afternoon coupled with a
strong surface cold front surging east into an unstable airmass. Mid
level winds are fairly strong at 500MB/s on the order of 40-50
knots. Bulk shear values are on the order of 40 knots as well in
the0-6km layer. Ingredients are certainly in place for severe
weather with damaging winds being the main threat as well as locally
heavy rain. Morning clouds will be the factor to watch in terms of
destabilization, but that said, we already have instability in place
given high low level moisture and mid level cooling with the
shortwave.
A few showers are possible tonight into Saturday morning as the
upper low slides through the Lower Peninsula. By Saturday afternoon
any showers should be moving east of the area. Quiet weather is
expected Saturday night and Sunday as high pressure builds in from
the west. Saturday will be a cool day by July standards with a fair
amount of clouds keeping temperatures in the 70s.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 343 AM EDT Fri Jul 8 2016
No changes needed to the long term portion of the fcst. We still
anticipate that the beginning of the week will remain dry with
increasing temperatures. Upper ridging will remain in control of the
weather for Lower Michigan through early Tuesday. Sfc ridging over
the area on Monday will shift east, and allow warmer and more humid
air to advect north into the area beginning on Tuesday.
Rain chances will start on Tuesday, and likely peak late Wednesday
into Wednesday night. We will see height falls take place with an
upper low that will be rolling east just north of the U.S./Canadian
border. Models are in general agreement in bringing the most
organized short wave through late Wed into Wed night. Temps will
warm toward 90 degrees with a good deal of sunshine.
The rain chances will linger into Thursday with temps remaining
rather warm. A cold front will try to push through, but will stall
out at some point as it becomes nearly parallel to the upper flow.
Where the front stalls out will likely be driven by convection,
which is impossible to determine this far away.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 118 PM EDT Fri Jul 8 2016
Primary short term concern is convection associated with upper level
system moving into northern Michigan. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms had developed in the last hour...and are expected to
move across the area this afternoon. Additional development of
precipitation may occur overnight across northern Michigan...
closer to the mid level cold pool. May add VCSH to KMKG and KGRR
to account for this.
Model soundings indicate abundant low level moisture around 12Z
Saturday. Will introduce lower ceilings and visibilities as a
result. Improving conditions are then expected for the remainder
of Saturday as the mid level system departs the region.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 343 AM EDT Fri Jul 8 2016
Will be issuing a Beach Hazards Statement and Small Craft Advisory
from this evening through Saturday evening. Waves will begin to ramp
up after dark this evening, peaking Saturday morning. It will take
into Saturday evening before the waves subside however. Waves will
peak around 6 feet Saturday morning as northwest winds ramp up into
the 15 to 25 knot range. High pressure will bring quieter conditions
on Sunday with minimal wave action.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 300 PM EDT Thu Jul 7 2016
No significant hydro concerns through the weekend. An area of
showers with embedded thunderstorms is expected to move through
between 5 pm and 3 am tonight. Forecast total rainfall amounts have
dropped, with up to around a half inch possible. Many areas will see
some beneficial rain, but it won't be a long-term drought buster.
