What 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 Jul 16, 3:18 PM CDT, 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 16, 3:18 PM CDT, 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
318 PM CDT WED JUL 16 2008

.DISCUSSION...FORECAST FOCUS ON CONVECTION THROUGH THE ENTIRE 7
DAY PERIOD.

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER
OF COUNTIES WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SLIDE SOUTH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. AS IT CONTINUES TO DO SO...THE LINE SHOULD BREAK UP AS
IT ENCOUNTERS DECREASING SHEAR. NONETHELESS...MLCAPE OF 4500-5500
J/KG AND LI/S TO -11 WILL CERTAINLY KEEP THE THREAT FOR
THUNDERSTORMS GOING AS AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO SAG SOUTH
DEEPER INTO THE CWA EARLY THIS EVENING. DEW POINTS IN THE MID 70S
WILL BRING A SERIOUS THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLE FLASH
FLOODING THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING BEFORE THE BOUNDARY BEGINS TO
RETREAT BACK NORTH AS A 30-40 KNOT LLJ KICKS IN. AFTER
MIDNIGHT...MUCH OF THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL FOCUS TO THE NORTH
OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN WI.

THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE CWA WILL BE FIRMLY IN THE WARM SECTOR
THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT PUSHING INTO WESTERN WISCONSIN THURSDAY
AFTERNOON MAY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPARK SOME THUNDERSTORMS OVER
THE NORTHWEST HALF LATE. CAPE AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE RATHER
POOR...SO STORMS PROBABLY WON/T BE TOO WIDESPREAD. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD FINALLY BREAK THE 90 DEGREE MARK FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS
YEAR IN THE SOUTHEAST WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF SUN. WITH DEW POINTS
IN THE UPPER 60S...HEAT INDEX READINGS MAY APPROACH 95.

AS THE FRONT PUSHES FURTHER EAST...STORM COVERAGE SHOULD INCREASE
SOMEWHAT AS FRONTOGENESIS INCREASES. WITH MBE VELOCITIES FALLING
TO LESS THAN 10 KNOTS AND PW/S REMAINING IN THE 1.75 TO 2.0 INCH
RANGE...THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN IS HIGH THURSDAY NIGHT. WILL INCLUDE
HEAVY RAIN MENTION ROUGHLY NORTHWEST HALF THURSDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY.

THE FRONT STALLS OVER THE CWA FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A
PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP
THE MOISTURE OVER SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. MCS AFTER MCS MAY DEVELOP ON
OR NEAR THE BOUNDARY PERIODICALLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...KEEPING
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN IN THE CROSS HAIRS FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY
RAIN. MBE VELOCITIES FALL TO LESS THAN 10 KNOTS AT TIMES WITH PW/S
REMAINING IN THE 1.75 TO 2.0 INCH RANGE THROUGH SUNDAY. THIS COULD
PRODUCE A SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING THREAT ONCE AGAIN WITH SOME
AREAS ENDING UP WITH SEVERAL INCHES OF RAINFALL BY EARLY NEXT
WEEK. WILL CONTINUE THE ESF AND EXPAND IT ACROSS THE REST OF
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. FLASH FLOOD WATCHES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED IN
LATER FORECAST PACKAGES.

BEYOND SUNDAY...THE GFS AND HI-RES ECMWF DIVERGE A LOT FOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK. THE ECMWF BUILDS A RIDGE INTO THE PLAINS BEGINNING
MONDAY...CAUSING THE QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT TO BECOME A WARM
FRONT JUST WEST OF WISCONSIN EARLY NEXT WEEK. MORE HEAVY RAIN AND
A CONTINUATION OF ANY FLOODING WOULD SET UP WITH THIS SCENARIO AS
SEVERAL MORE MCS/S DEVELOP. THE GFS...HOWEVER DROPS A CORE OF
COOL AIR INTO THE GREAT LAKES...PUSHING THE STATIONARY FRONT WELL
TO THE SOUTH. AT THIS POINT...THE ECMWF HAS BEEN MOST CONSISTENT
WITH BUILDING A RIDGE OVER THE PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK...SO WILL
FOLLOW THAT SOLUTION FOR NOW. FURTHERMORE...IT IS PRETTY HARD TO
DRIVE A FRONT THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY THIS TIME OF YEAR. AS A
RESULT...WILL CONTINUE WITH THE CHANCY THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH NEXT
WEDNESDAY.
