The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jun 8, 3:14 PM CDT, 3 hours 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 3:14 PM CDT, 3 hours 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
314 PM CDT SUN JUN 8 2008
.DISCUSSION...FORECAST FOCUS ON ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS WITH HEAVY
RAIN TONIGHT...RAIN CHANCES MONDAY...TREND OF RAIN CHANCES DURING
THE WEEK.
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT...ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN
EXPECTED OVER CWA. CONVECTION ALREADY FIRING UP IN IOWA AS
ATMOSPHERIC SETUP LOOKS VERY CLOSE TO 24 HOURS AGO. SEVERE
POTENTIAL STILL EXISTS FOR TONIGHT DESPITE AIRMASS BEING BEATEN UP
DURING THE LAST 24 HOURS AND IS SLOWER TO RECOVER THAT YESTERDAY.
BUT FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL REMAIN QUITE GOOD TONIGHT. VERY
JUICY AIRMASS WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN 1.75 AND 2
INCHES...EXISTS OVER AREA ALONG WITH VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT
PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCIES. KEY COMPONENT REMAINS PERSISTENT NOSE
OF LOW LEVEL JET POINTING INTO THE CWA TONIGHT WITH 40 TO 45 KNOT
CORE. STORMS OVER IOWA TO PROPAGATE INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN ON THE
NOSE OF THIS JET. CORFIDI VECTORS STILL FAVORABLE TO INDICATE THAT
SOME BACK BUILDING OF STORMS WILL LEAD TO TRAINING ECHOES OVER
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. HAVE EXTENDED FLASH FLOOD WATCH ACROSS CWA TO
INCLUDE BALANCE OF THE NIGHTTIME HOURS TO COVER EXPECTED DURATION
OF RAIN.
.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN
CONTINUES MONDAY AS GFS DEPICTS A STRONG RIGHT REAR JET OVER
WESTERN WISCONSIN PULLS A SURFACE WAVE ALONG WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY
PASSING TO THE SOUTH OF THE CWA. THIS WILL SERVE TO GIVE SOUTHEAST
WISCONSIN A DECENT SHOT OF PRECIPITATION BEFORE SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR
AND A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TAKES TEMPORARY CONTROL OF THE
WEATHER PATTERN. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW CONCERNING BRIEF BREAKS
IN PRECIPITATION PATTERN...WITH MID WEEK LOOKING LIKE THE BEST
TIME FOR A DRY TREND. BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW AT THE MOMENT TO
FORECAST A DRY PERIOD OF ANY LENGTH. KEPT TEMPERATURES ON WARM
SIDE OF GUIDANCE GFS/ECMWF SHOWS SIGNIFICANT WARM UP AFTER MID
WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION...LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE FROM IOWA THROUGH NRN WI TNT AND
WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT EAST ACROSS SRN WI. ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY WILL ONCE AGAIN LEAD TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY
RAIN TNT. VFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON WILL TRANSITION TO AREAS OF
MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS TNT. ON MONDAY THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL OVER NRN
IL AND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG IT. THIS WILL GENERATE
MORE TSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIN MAINLY OVER SE WI. VFR CONDITIONS TO
BEGIN THE DAY WITH AREAS OF MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS DEVELOPING IN SE
WI.
