What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jun 11, 3:59 PM CDT, 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 3:59 PM CDT, 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
359 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017

Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 342 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017

Warm and humid with several more rounds of thunderstorms the next
few days, then drier and less humid for the latter part of the
work week.

The large scale pattern across the CONUS is dominated by a trough
in the west and ridge around 75W. The western trough will dig a
little more, then become progressive, lifting out into south-
central Canada by the latter part of the work week.

Warm and humid conditions are expected the next few days, though
temperatures could be held back at times by clouds and
thunderstorms. A return to more seasonable humidities is expected
by the end of the work week, with a little cooler temperatures by
next weekend. Precipitation amounts for the period are likely to
be well above normal, and possibly excessive.
&&

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Monday
Issued at 342 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017

WW313 will expire at 400 pm, but the severe weather threat has not
ended. Low level SSW flow will continue to feed moist unstable
air into the forecast area. Storms have redeveloped in northwest
Wisconsin, and trail back to the west. Those storms are expected
to eventually organize and push southeast. The potential certainly
exists for additional severe weather with the storms. In
addition, given the rain that fell earlier today and the W-E
orientation of the line, heavy rainfall and flooding are also a
concern.

The boundary will still be lingering across the area Monday. So
the marginal risk of severe weather specified in the SWODY2
outlook seems reasonable.

.LONG TERM...Monday Night Through Sunday
Issued at 342 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017

Shortwave ridging will sharpen across the area Tuesday, to that
looks like a relative min in the thunderstorm chances/coverage.
Another more significant round of storms is likely again Wednesday
as the main upper trough advances in from the west. Quieter
weather will return for the rest of the week as the upper flow
tilts WNW behind the trough.
&&

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 119 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017

Thunderstorms will be the main aviation weather concern during the
period. The specifics of the redevelopment behind the initial
complex of storms is still unclear. Winds above the surface are
strong enough to carry LLWS in the TAFS into tonight.
&&

.GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

340 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north-central and northeast
Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Thunderstorms are possible this evening and overnight. Some of the
storms could be severe, and produce damaging winds and large hail.
Torrential rains and flooding are also possible. The greatest risk
of flooding will be across north-central and far northeast
Wisconsin, which received the most rainfall from the round of
storms that moved through during the mid-day hours.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Sunday

Additional periods of thunderstorms will occur from Monday
through Wednesday night. It is difficult to pinpoint the specific
timing and impacts of these storms, but it appears that a severe
weather threat could develop on both Monday and Wednesday
afternoon and evenings.

The combination of very warm temperatures and humid air on Monday
through Wednesday could result in conditions that are hazardous
to people in poor health. The worst conditions are expected to
occur during the afternoon hours and be in central and east-
central Wisconsin.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Formal spotter activation probably will not be needed this evening
or overnight. But spotters are requested to report and winds over
50 mph, hail over 1/2 inch in diameter, or any flooding.

Wednesday night. The storms may pose a hazard to mariners.

Dense fog will also be possible at times through Wednesday as a
humid airmass settles across the region.
