The radar

The Milwaukee radar (KMKX), 113 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:08 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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

Green Bay/Straub, WI (KGRB), launched 12:00Z, 8.1 hours before the alert went out and 125 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.

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 Jun 19, 2:52 PM CDT, 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 2:52 PM CDT, 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
252 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2009

.DISCUSSION...FORECAST FOCUS ON THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOPING LATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING THEN ON MUCH WARMER TEMPS FOR NEXT WEEK.

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

MAIN FOCUS ON THE SHORT TERM IS OBVIOUSLY THIS EVENING. THE FINAL IN
A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES LATE THIS WEEK IS EVIDENT ON
RADAR AND SATELLITE OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA AND WESTERN IOWA AT 19Z.
THIS FEATURE WILL PROPAGATE EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN
THIS EVENING. CLOUDS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MORNING/S MCS HAVE
CLEARED ACROSS THE CWA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND INSTABILITY IS
ALREADY RAPIDLY RECOVERING ACROSS ERN IA AND SWRN WI. VIGOROUS
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT HAS JUST BEGUN OVER SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND
THIS IS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW THE BEST CAPE GRADIENT OVER SOUTHERN WI
THIS EVENING. BULK SHEAR OF 35-40 KNOTS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE
EVENING HOURS...SO SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL BECOME OR REMAIN SEVERE
AS THEY TRACK ACROSS THE CWA.

THE 00Z 3KM ARW WRF REFLECTIVITY DISPLAYED THE EVOLUTION OF THE
MORNING MCS ALMOST PERFECTLY...AND CONTINUES TO DO SO FOR THE NEXT
SHORT WAVE. THAT MODEL EXPLODES CONVECTION ACROSS THE CWA AROUND 22Z
AND I HAVE A HARD TIME NOT BELIEVING IT. THE NAM QPF FIELDS ARE NOT
REALLY RELIABLE GIVEN WHAT CURRENTLY IS HAPPENING...BUT THE GFS AND
ECMWF ARE CLOSER. WILL GO CATEGORICAL POPS THIS EVENING FOR MOST OF
THE AREA...WITH NUMEROUS WORDING IN THE NORTH.

THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE NEXT ROUND OF STORMS IS HEAVY RAIN AND
FLASH FLOODING. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3-5 INCHES WERE
REPORTED LAST NIGHT...AND ANOTHER 2-3 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE
TONIGHT. BACKBUILDING STORMS WITH MBE VELOCITIES OF 5-15
KNOTS...INCREASING 850 MB JET POINTED TOWARD CWA AND THE LEFT EXIT
REGION OF THE UPPER JET CENTERED OVER THE CWA...PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES OF 1.8-2.0 INCHES /170 PERCENT ABOVE NORMAL/...AND A WARM
CLOUD DEPTH OF ALMOST 14KFT ALL SUPPORT A SERIOUS THREAT OF FLASH
FLOODING. HAVE ALREADY ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE SOUTHERN
TWO TIERS OF COUNTIES WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN FELL UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE HAS BEEN HACKED CONSIDERABLY SINCE YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH MILWAUKEE COUNTY NOW BEING 1.7 INCHES WITHIN 6
HOURS AND 1.0 INCH IN ONE HOUR. IF ANOTHER SEVERAL INCHES FALL ON
THOSE SAME FAVORED AREAS...SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING CAN BE
EXPECTED.

THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END QUICKLY BY MIDNIGHT. NO COLD AIR ADVECTION
IS EXPECTED BEHIND THIS FRONT. WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND 925 MB
TEMPS AROUND 22C...EXPECT HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S FOR SATURDAY.

ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL APPROACH THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES LATE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT. SOME CAPE IS PRESENT DURING THIS TIME TO
INCLUDE A CHANCE OF THUNDER...ESPECIALLY SUNDAY NIGHT. THE WAVE
WILL THEN KICK EAST BY MONDAY AND THE HEAT BEGINS.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY.

MAIN STORY IN THE EXTENDED IS A POTENTIALLY PROLONGED PERIOD OF VERY
WARM OR HOT WEATHER FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. THERMAL RIDGE WILL PARK
ITSELF OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES FROM MONDAY THROUGH AT LEAST
WEDNESDAY. I PREFERRED THE ECMWF DEPICTION OF THE RIDGE...WHICH IS
WHAT HPC FAVORED AS WELL. GFS BREAKS DOWN THE RIDGE PERIODICALLY
WITH MCS FORMATION...BUT I BELIEVE IT WILL BE TOO CAPPED AND ANY
MCS/S WILL RIDE WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE STATE. THICKNESSES AROUND
580 DAM AND HEIGHTS APPROACH 588. NAM...DGEX...AND ECMWF 2 M TEMPS
ALREADY RISE INTO THE LOWER 90S MONDAY WITH 925 TEMPS IN THE 26-28C
RANGE. WITH LITTLE WIND TO WIC HEAT FROM THE SURFACE /CAUSING SUPER
ADIABATIC PROFILE/...COULD SEE SOME MID 90S IN PLACES. WEAK FLOW
WILL PROMOTE THE LAKE BREEZE EACH DAY...BUT IT SHOULD BE CONFINED
FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE SHORE...ESPECIALLY AS THE LAKE WATER WARMS. DEW
POINTS IN THE 60S WILL MAKE IT FEEL A LITTLE WARMER. OVERNIGHT LOWS
COULD REMAIN WELL INTO THE 70S AS SHOWN IN 2 M TEMPS. CONDITIONS
REMAIN VERY SIMILAR THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE RIDGE BEGINS TO
BREAK DOWN AS THE NEXT TROUGH APPROACHES AND BRINGS THE NEXT CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.AVIATION...SHOWERS AND TSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND LOW PRESSURE
AREA/FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE REGION ONCE AGAIN. AREAS OF MVFR CIGS AND
VSBYS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND NIGHT BUT WILL BECOME IFR
IN THE MORE INTENSE TSTORMS.

IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH/FRONT...EXPECT A FEW VFR CLOUDS DUE TO
RESIDUAL MOISTURE AND DIURNAL HEATING ON SAT. WINDS ALONG THE LAKE
MAY BE HIGHER OVERNIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING DUE TO THE STRONGER
PRESSURE GRADIENT OF THE INTENSIFYING LOW AS IT PASSES OVER LAKE
MICHIGAN.
