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.

DDVWhat 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 Aug 10, 2:36 PM CDT, 1 hour 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 2:36 PM CDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 235 PM CDT THU AUG10 2017 .TONIGHT AND FRIDAY - Forecast Confidence...High. Showers and storms are beginning to fire this afternoon as expected. Storms will be likely into early evening, with some of the storms possibly reaching severe levels. Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats. After storms exit the southeast this evening, dry weather is expected overnight. Could see a shower or sprinkle tomorrow as the cooler air aloft moves through, but most places will remain dry. Below normal temps are likely on Friday, with mostly cloudy skies lingering much of the day and the cooler airmass aloft moving through. .FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY - Forecast Confidence...Medium to High. A mainly dry and comfortable period is expected. Lingering low to mid level cyclonic curvature on Saturday will fight against a very dry atmosphere, so only expecting few-sct cumulus redevelopment. Hence expecting a mostly sunny day with 925H temps resulting in daytime temps warming to slightly below seasonal normal. Weak warm air advection ahead of a slowly moving upper level wave in the northern Plains may clip far southwest Wisconsin with a few showers or storms Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, a bit more cloudiness can be expected on Sunday due to the proximity of the upstream short wave. Temperatures on Sunday will be similar to Saturday. .EXTENDED PERIOD... SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY - Forecast Confidence...Medium to High. Most of this period is looking dry and seasonal for mid-August. Persistent down-stream low pressure troffing over eastern Canada into the eastern Great Lakes will result in dry NNW steering flow across the western Great Lakes. Upstream, short wave high pressure ridging will gradually expand in coverage and intensity and spread into the western Great Lakes early next week. 925H temps look seasonal with readings in the 15-18 degree range and resultant daytime temperatures warming into the 70s to around 80. Protective ridge should keep southern WI dry at least through Wednesday. Medium range guidance in reasonable agreement showing ridge flattening out due to strong short wave moving ENE through the northern plains into the western Great Lakes around mid-week. GFS Ensembles show some variation in the timing of the short wave trof with several perturbations holding onto lingering ridging. GFS increase precipitable water rapidly to around 2 inches Wednesday night into early Thursday. For now wl include chance pops Wednesday night into Thursday. && .AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...Thunderstorms are likely this afternoon into early evening. The main focus will be across the southeast half of the forecast area. A few of the storms could reach severe levels, with damaging winds and large hail the main threats. After storms exit the southeast this evening, dry weather is expected overnight. Could see a shower or sprinkle tomorrow, but most places will remain dry. Lower ceilings are likely later tonight into Friday as cooler air aloft moves into the area. && .MARINE...Waves could approach 4 feet through late afternoon north of Port Washington under breezy south winds. Otherwise, winds and waves are expected to stay below Small Craft Advisory levels the next several days. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...None.
