Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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.

National Weather Service La Crosse WI
1240 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Periodic severe weather and flash flooding will be possible
  into the weekend.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 942 AM CDT Thu Jul 2 2026

After a slight southern push this morning, the quasi-stationary
boundary that's been the catalyst for the showers/storms
overnight and this morning has been slowly lifting northward
over the past few hours. CAM guidance largely suggests the
ongoing convective development wanes and moves eastward through
the late morning as the low-level jet weakens and the supporting
upper level wave transitions eastward.

A brief lull in development may occur for some, primarily west
of the Mississippi River before another shortwave shifts
northward atop the boundary while the low level jet again strengthens
into it. As mentioned in the discussion below, additional heavy
rainfall is expected to occur across portions of northeast Iowa
and southeast Minnesota this afternoon/evening where these
storms develop though where exactly this boundary stalls out is
uncertain and will dictate where the heaviest rain falls. Regardless,
flooding concerns exist across northeast Iowa and especially
over southeast Minnesota where 5 to 8 inches of rain fell
overnight.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 140 AM CDT Wed Jul 2 2026

Today and Tonight

After the morning convection, there is much uncertainty on
whether storms will redevelop during the afternoon or not. Many
of the CAMs are dry, but the HRRR and RAP13 show another round
of showers and storms developing mainly along and south of
Interstate 94. These then linger into tonight. Any severe
weather threat would be pulsey this afternoon and highly
dependent upon the potential of a mesoscale convective complex
moving into the area tonight. The main severe weather threats
would be damaging winds, large hail, and maybe isolated
tornadoes.

Like overnight, the precipitable water vapor will range from 2
to 2.5 inches and the warm cloud depths will be over 4 km. As a
result, any storms will be highly efficient rain producers. The
24-hour QPF ensemble probability-matched shows a potential for 3
to 5 inches of rain mainly south of Interstate 90.

Friday into the Weekend

A frontal boundary will meander across the forecast area as
shortwave trough and surface lows move through the weekend. The
timing of these waves is rather uncertain, but as they move
through the region the 0-3 km and 0-6 km shear will increase
ahead of them and this will provide a chance of supercells and
bow echos.

Precipitable water values will remain around 2 inches through
the 4th and then gradually decrease to around 1.5 inches as the
boundary finally shifts south. Warm cloud layer depths will
remain around 4 km. This will result in additional rounds of
heavy rain. Flood watches may eventually be needed.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1240 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2026

Showers and storms continue across the region this afternoon,
generally along a line from central Wisconsin into northeast
Iowa. Coverage of these showers and storms is expected to
increase through the afternoon into this evening, but the
greatest impacts look to be primarily be along and south of
I-90. A bit of a lull in storm activity is possible overnight
generally from 06z-12z, but there is a lot of uncertainty
regarding this as model solutions vary quite a bit in
timing/placement of storms. Showers/storms move eastward towards
the end of the TAF period.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 140 AM CDT Wed Jul 2 2026

During the evening, rainfall totals were up to 3 inches. With
precipitable water values ranging from 2 to 2.5 inches and
warm cloud depths over 4 km, these storms will be highly
efficient rain producers. The 6-hour QPF ensemble probability-
matched mean from 02.06z and 02.12z has some rain totals in the
2 to 5 inch range. This could result in some flash flooding
along and south of Interstate 90.

Through at least July 4, precipitable water values will remain
around 2 to 2.5 inches and warm cloud layer depths will be
around 4 km. This will result in additional rounds of heavy
rain. Flood watches may eventually be needed.
