BSHWhat 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, 12:49 PM CDT, 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 12:49 PM CDT, 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 1249 PM CDT Mon Jun 19 2017 .UPDATE... Thunderstorms are moving across southern WI. The stronger storms north and west of Madison have brought some pea sized hail and wind gusts of 30-40 mph in Columbia county. Storms will continue to move east and additional scattered showers and storms are expected through the afternoon. && .AVIATION(18Z TAFS)... Thunderstorms are moving across southern WI and will impact southeast WI over the next couple hours. The stronger storms have brought pea sized hail and wind gusts around 35 mph. Additional scattered showers and storms may develop through the afternoon. Expect visibilities of 2-3 miles and ceilings around 2500ft within the thunderstorms. Activity will diminish this evening. Scattered showers and storms are possible on Tuesday. VFR conditions are expected, except within thunderstorms. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 1011 AM CDT Mon Jun 19 2017) UPDATE... Can see a trough axis over southwest WI on water vapor imagery. GOES LI values show a minimum over the region of -2 and cape will increase to around 500-1000 J/KG today. A few cells have developed upstream with some lightning and may hold together as they get into our NW forecast area. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop later this morning with small hail the main threat. Activity will wind down during evening with the loss of daytime heating. MARINE... West winds will gust 15 to 20 knots. Otherwise low wave heights and lighter winds are expected through Wednesday morning. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected today. PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 328 AM CDT Mon Jun 19 2017) SHORT TERM... Today and Tonight...Forecast Confidence is High. An upper trough will pass today and help cool 500 mb temps to -18C. Thus, tall and skinny CAPE is noted on forecast soundings with all models producing fairly widespread qpf. Thus expect showers and sct tstorms from late morning through the afternoon. Small hail will probably occur with the stronger cells. Clouds and rain will keep high temps around 70F. The upper trough will depart by this evening with another strong shortwave trough to arrive for Tue. Some clearing will occur tnt with low temps in the 50s. LONG TERM... Tuesday...Forecast confidence is medium to high: Another wave is expected to move through on Tuesday. Consensus of models suggests this wave will be clear of the area by mid to late afternoon, so have have peak pops from mid-morning through mid- afternoon. Kept small chance of thunder given some instability in models. Overall, models look a little stronger with this wave and are showing a bit more moisture than they did 24 hours ago. Should see highs a few degrees below normal given the expected clouds, showers, and temps aloft. Wednesday and Thursday...Forecast confidence is medium: The flow will turn more zonal mid-week, allowing a return of deeper moisture and warmer temps. Shower/storm chances will also increase during this time as moisture/instability and forcing increase with low pressure moving into the region. Models have slowed a bit with the arrival of the deeper moisture and better warm air advection, so Wednesday now looks mainly dry through the afternoon. Showers/storms are then likely Wed evening and overnight. Seeing more agreement among models now that the low level boundary could get hung up in the area, allowing further rounds of showers/storms on Thursday, especially in the south toward the boundary. Friday through Sunday...Forecast confidence is medium: It looks dry Friday as high pressure builds toward the area. Models struggle beyond that, with various strengths of the next approaching wave for the weekend and resultant surface low development. Have slight chance to chance pops through the weekend due to the uncertainty of timing and precip coverage. Overall though, it does seem likely that there will be precip at some point during the weekend. Models do agree that near normal temps Friday should drop to below normal values by Sunday. AVIATION(09Z TAFS)...Bkn035-040 cumulus congestus will develop by late morning and continue through the day with showers likely and sct tstorms. Areas of MVFR Cigs will be possible throughout the day. Reduced Cigs and Vsbys within any storms. Some clearing for tnt. MARINE...Modest wly winds will prevail today and Tue with wind gusts up to 20 kts. High pressure and light and variable winds are then expected for Tue nt-Wed AM. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...None. && Update...Marquardt Today/Tonight and Aviation/Marine...Gehring Tuesday THROUGH Sunday...DDV
