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.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 30, 2:33 PM CDT, 2 hours 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 233 PM CDT Wed Aug 30 2017 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Thursday Issued at 233 PM CDT Wed Aug 30 2017 A quick moving cold front will continue passing through the western Great Lakes this afternoon and early this evening. The front is a few hours ahead of schedule, already through Sturgeon Bay and Merrill as of 19Z. Despite MUCAPEs around 2 J/g, MLCAPEs this afternoon are a much lower 1 J/g with the front itself and the upper support that goes with it not very impressive. The nature of the convection itself is mainly a line of storms with fairly upright updrafts as there is not much in the way of directional shear. Therefore the line of storms is expected to mainly produce gusty winds and small hail as it tracks through the area through this evening. Given the faster movement of the front, it is expected to track through early this evening, with clearing skies and cooler air moving into the region during the overnight hours. The recent rains, clearing skies, and light winds should lead to some ground fog across the north. Thursday will be sunny and cooler behind the front as highs are limited to the 65 to 70 degree range, which is well below normal for this time of year. Other than some morning fair weather cumulus clouds, skies should be sunny given the dry air advecting in from the northeast. .LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Wednesday Issued at 233 PM CDT Wed Aug 30 2017 Surface high pressure that is forecast to move in behind the departing cold front, combined with a mid level ridge, should keep the area dry for at least Thursday night and Friday. Temperatures will be well below normal and some frost is expected to develop in the far north on Thursday night/Friday morning. Showers are possible in the northwest half of the forecast area late Friday night and across the entire area on Saturday as a surface cold front and mid level trough move across Wisconsin. Clouds should help to keep northern Wisconsin a bit warmer on Friday night but more clouds and rain will keep temperatures a little cooler than normal for Saturday. Flow aloft becomes more zonal by the end of the weekend and above normal temperatures are in store for Sunday. Another cold front and short wave bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms to the area on Monday into Monday evening. After that, much cooler temperatures are in store for the weekend as a mid level ridge amplifies over western NOAM and a high pressure system becomes the primary surface feature in the region. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1239 PM CDT Wed Aug 30 2017 A cold front will move through the area this afternoon and early this evening with showers and thunderstorms as it tracks through the region. Latest indications are the front is moving through about 2 hours ahead of schedule with mainly showers to the west and embedded thunderstorms farther east. Therefore will adjust the TAFs to reflect this new thinking. Otherwise skies will clear as the front exits late this evening, with great flying weather expected late tonight through Friday. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Beach Hazards Statement from 10 PM CDT this evening through Thursday evening for WIZ040-050. && SHORT TERM.....Kurimski LONG TERM......MG AVIATION.......Kurimski
