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.

KieckbuschWhat 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 Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 6, 10:39 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 10:39 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1039 PM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017 Updated aviation portion for 06Z TAF issuance and new information added to update section .UPDATE... Issued at 1033 PM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017 Have cancelled the watch north of a line from Merrill to Sturgeon Bay, but new development was still occurring south of the cold front/gust front in central and east central WI, where MUCAPE was still 1000-2000 j/kg. Isold severe still possible, so will keep the watch going there until midnight. UPDATE Issued at 635 PM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017 Isolated strong tstms have developed in the most unstable air mass (CAPE 2500-3000 j/kg) in our southern counties, with increasing severe convection occurring in NW WI and the western U.P. near the cold front. Watch has been issued through midnight for the entire CWA. && .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Friday Issued at 215 PM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017 Timing of convection continues to be elusive as mesoscale models offer differing solutions this afternoon and this evening. While some models do develop some convection later this afternoon, there are some indications the main show could wait until later this evening with the cold front with the activity currently over the arrowhead of Minnesota. If the main activity waits until later instability would not be as good across the region, therefore diminishing the risk for severe weather. However if convection can get going this afternoon it would have 2800 J/kg of SBCAPE per the KGRB 18Z RAOB. The sounding also indicates large hail would be the primary threat given the fat CAPE profile around the hail growth zone and the fairly weak bulk shear of 20 knots. Given the differing model solutions and lack of a strong forcing mechanism confidence continues to be low regarding the timing of the thunderstorm activity this afternoon and this evening. Later periods appear to be a bit more clear as the models continue to indicate additional activity Friday afternoon behind the cold front as moisture lingers across the western Great Lakes with a potent PV anomaly tracking through the region. This feature will encounter MUCAPEs of 1000-2000 J/kg with bulk shear of 40 to 50 knots. The atmosphere behind the cold front will be conducive for hail as the freezing levels fall to 8-9k ft AGL. Therefore the upgrade on the SWODY2 of a marginal risk for severe weather appears warranted given the risk for severe hail and some damaging wind gusts. .LONG TERM...Friday Night Through Thursday Issued at 215 PM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017 After the busy short term, precipitation through the weekend and into next week focuses on more minor convection and temperatures. Northwesterly flow and strong ridging will last through the weekend before pushing through next week. Friday night a few showers are possible overnight as a strong shortwave moves through the area before clearing out. The remainder of Saturday is currently expected to be dry as models back off on the precipitation chances under a brief area of surface high pressure. Another weak cold front is then expected to head towards the region, with models disagreeing on the exact arrival times, but trending towards Sunday morning to afternoon. A period of showers and possibly isolated thunderstorms then develops both Sunday afternoon. Monday will feature showers as a warm front approaches with a low pressure system and a more unstable air mass. Instability should suffice in the afternoon to evening to once again get a few thunderstorm chances out in the region. Continued rain chances then arrive again later in the week on Tuesday and/or Wednesday depending on how quickly the synoptic ridge over the Rockies flattens out and the next shortwave moves through the region. Temperatures will be around normal through the weekend before rising to a few degrees above normal by the end of the weekend. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1033 PM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017 Ongoing tstm activity should clear central and east central WI by 07z, with quiet conditions expected overnight. Patchy fog may develop where significant rainfall occurred. Scattered storms are expected to develop on Friday afternoon as an upper level disturbance arrives. Hail and gusty winds may accompany these storms as well. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north-central and northeast Wisconsin. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight Severe thunderstorms with hail over 2 inches in diameter and wind gusts over 60 mph are possible through this evening. Considerable uncertainty remains concerning the evolution of thunderstorms across the region this afternoon and this evening. Clouds are clearing out from west to east this afternoon, however there is quite a bit of capping in place across the region. Models continue to indicate another round of storms is likely during the afternoon and evening. Storms during this time will pose a risk of very large hail over 2 inches in diameter, and damaging winds. Be sure to closely monitor later forecasts and statements on the potential for severe storms. Heavy rainfall will also be possible with the storms, and that could lead to ponding of water on area roads. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday The chance for thunderstorms will return on Friday afternoon. A few of the storms Friday could be strong to severe, with a marginal risk for severe weather. The strongest storms could produce hail up to 1 inch and near-severe wind gusts. Thunderstorm chances will occur at times from Sunday into the middle of next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will likely be needed this afternoon and evening. LMZ521-522-541>543-071830- The Bay of Green Bay south of a line from Cedar River MI to Rock Island Passage-Lake Michigan from Washington Island to Sheboygan- 119 PM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of northwest Lake Michigan and the waters of Green Bay. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight There is a chance of severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, including strong winds and large hail.
