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
Davenport, (KDVN), launched 00:00Z, 0.9 hours before the alert went out and 183 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.

MRCWhat 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 Jun 22, 7:21 PM CDT, 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 7:21 PM CDT, 30 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 721 PM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017 .UPDATE... A few thunderstorms are developing out ahead of the main line, within the warm sector. They are not forming along a radar-defined boundary, but it's roughly in the area of surface convergence between north winds and south winds. The RAP mesoanalysis indicates 1000-2000 CAPE south of the I-94 corridor that is finally becoming uncapped. Bulk shear is not too shabby, around 30 kt. A few of these storms are intense, but are not growing too high yet to support large hail. There was a report of pea size hail in Waukesha. Now for the evolution of the main line of storms that is expected to track through southern WI later this evening... I think the kicker of this convection that is focused along an elevated frontal boundary is going to come from a shortwave trough way up in northern MN. As it tracks southeast, this front will finally start to move southeast. Timing is still uncertain, but the showers are starting to get into our area now. Potential for severe is limited. Thus, SPC dropped our area into a marginal risk this afternoon. && .AVIATION(00Z TAFS)... Scattered storms are expected early this evening. Then a main line of storms will track southeast through southern WI from late evening through overnight hours. Timing is still uncertain of this line. Period of MVFR ceilings possible behind the front late tonight. Quiet weather expected Friday. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 342 PM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017) SHORT TERM... Tonight...Forecast Confidence is Medium. Latest SPC Day 1 Outlook has shifted most of the Slight Risk for severe storms southward into northern Illinois, with a Marginal Risk across most of the area. This is mainly in response to most of the area seeing cloudy skies with on and off showers and isolated storms for most of the day. There have been some breaks in the southern parts of the area, with the north remaining cloudy. The best mean layer CAPE will be south of the state line, with lower values along with some mean layer CIN in most of the area. The best deep layer shear is in northern portions of the area, with lower amounts to the south. Thus, it appears that areas near and south of the Illinois border have the best shot at strong to severe storms. Mesoscale models still have convection developing across the area by middle evening and pushing southeast with the cold front, with the HRRR developing convection by 00Z to the north of the area. Continued high PoPs for thunderstorms tonight, ending northwest to southeast later tonight. Gusty winds, hail and heavy rainfall still are the main hazards, with the best chances for isolated severe storms near the Illinois border. Friday through Monday...Forecast confidence medium. A large polar trough will become established over much of ern Canada and the Great Lakes for the weekend into early next week. Cold advection on nwly sfc winds will increase late Fri aft-eve but high temps on Fri will reach 75-80F beforehand. Otherwise nwly sfc winds and unseasonably cool temps will prevail for the weekend and Mon. High temps from 65-70F are expected with lows in the upper 40s to middle 50s. A fairly strong shortwave trough will bring good chances of showers Sat nt especially north of Madison and Milwaukee. The chances of showers will continue for Sun-Mon given cold temps aloft and potential weak vorticity maximums. LONG TERM...Tuesday through Thursday...Forecast confidence medium. High pressure will finally settle over the area Mon nt-Tue followed by a pattern change to more zonal flow across the nrn USA. Thus warmer temps and higher humidity expected ahead of an approaching shortwave trough and cold front for Wed-Thu. AVIATION(21Z TAFS)...Gusty south to southwest winds should linger until early evening in southern portions of the area. Weaker winds will be found in cloudy areas to the north. Ceilings should remain above 3000 feet this afternoon. Thunderstorms are expected to slide southeast across the area tonight, from northwest to southeast. They will spread southeast during the evening, then end later tonight. Look for visibilities down to 2 miles, and ceilings down to around 2000 feet. These may be lower in any stronger storms. Gusty winds, hail and heavy rainfall are possible, with the best chances for isolated severe storms near the Illinois border. May see ceilings around 2000 feet linger after the storms exit the area later tonight into Friday morning, before mixing out. West winds should become gusty by the afternoon hours. Some diurnal cumulus clouds are possible as well. MARINE... Small Craft Advisory continues until 00Z Friday south of Port Washington. Gusty south to southwest winds are expected until early evening before weakening. Thunderstorms are then expected to slide southeastward across the area tonight. The timing for the nearshore waters of Lake Michigan should be generally between 03Z and 09Z Friday. The best chances for isolated severe storms will be toward Winthrop Harbor Illinois. Gusty winds and hail are possible. May see gusty west northwest winds reach Small Craft Advisory levels at times on Friday, with cooler and drier air moving into the region. Good mixing and a tight pressure gradient will help with mixing these gusts to the surface. Highest waves will be over the open waters. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None.
