What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Sep 28, 12:23 PM CDT, 3 hours 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 28, 12:23 PM CDT, 3 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 1223 PM CDT Thu Sep 28 2017 .UPDATE... Mid level clouds over central WI are associated with an 850mb thermal ridge and area of higher RH. This area will slide southward through the afternoon. The HRRR is showing some light reflectivity with these clouds as they get into east central WI this afternoon, but any showers would be very light and spotty. There is another area of clouds upstream over northern MN. This area could have some showers that hit southern WI tonight. The GFS is faster with this feature than other models. The HRRR has a handle on this and keeps the more widespread light showers to the north of the MKX area, closer to the stronger forcing. I can't rule out a rumble of thunder due to these steep mid level lapse rates, but the chance is very small and has a short window of opportunity late this evening. && .AVIATION(18Z TAFS)... Look for mid-clouds to increase later today and linger into tonight, associated with warm air surge ahead of approaching cold front. Expect a few showers, and possibly a t-storm, to affect parts of east central WI tonight. && .MARINE... A passing cold front may bring a few showers and isolated t-storms to the waters this evening. Then a wind shift to the north can be expected later tonight into Friday morning. Wind gusts may reach 25 knots or Small Craft Advisory levels during this time, before subsiding Friday night. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 550 AM CDT Thu Sep 28 2017) AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...Thicker fog continues to affect the Wisconsin River Valley, with patchy shallow ground fog elsewhere. Transient fog being reported at KJVL and KBUU in last several hours. Expect this light fog to quickly thin and dissipate by 13-14Z. Expect areas of mid-clouds to spread into southern WI later this morning and afternoon tied to warm air and moisture advection ahead of cold front. PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 333 AM CDT Thu Sep 28 2017) SHORT TERM... Today And Tonight...Forecast Confidence Is Medium. Widespread thicker fog should be confined to the Wisconsin River Valley early this morning, while patchy shallower ground fog is expected elsewhere through 13-14Z or so. Otherwise, increasing clouds can be expected most areas today, associated with warm air and moisture advection spreading into the area ahead of approaching cold front. Short term guidance in good agreement on carrying this sharpening cold front through southern WI tonight. Vigorous mid-level short wave associated with push of colder air will pass across Upper MI and northern Lake MI late today and tonight, but should graze northeast CWA. Increasing WSW winds ahead of this feature will carry a surge of atmospheric moisture into the area this evening, with precipitable water increasing quickly to around 1". Rapid increase in moisture and warm air does result in weak mid- level instability, with MUCape increasing to 50 to 100 J/kg. 400mb potential vorticity associated with wave also grazes northeast CWA, where mid-level lapse rates increase to around 7 degrees C/km. Hence wl include schc for thunder in northern CWA this evening, and expand pops farther west and south to account for more vigorous synoptic forcing. Showers should end overnight, followed by clearing skies. Breezy north winds in the low levels should prevent significant late night fog development. Friday Through Saturday Night...Forecast Confidence Is Medium. Models are in pretty good agreement with trends during this period. They gradually push the 500 mb shortwave trough to the east southeast of the area on Friday, with a ridge then shifting eastward into the area Saturday. It then shifts east Saturday night, with southwest flow returning to the area. Brisk north winds within cold air advection remain over the area on Friday, with high pressure then sliding southeast into the region Friday night into Saturday. The high then slides east Saturday night. These features should bring dry conditions to the area during this period. Some lake effect clouds may affect areas near the lake Friday and perhaps Friday night, as low level flow turns onshore with modest moisture and favorable delta T values. Otherwise, skies should be partly to mostly sunny Friday and Saturday. Temperatures should be near seasonal normals during this period. Lows Friday night may dip into the upper 30s across northwestern portions of the area. Lows in the 40s are expected elsewhere Friday night. LONG TERM... Sunday Through Wednesday...Forecast Confidence Is Medium. Models have changed since yesterday with the overall pattern during this period. They are now showing the 500 mb ridge amplifying somewhat over the eastern part of the country early next week. A broad trough remains over the western part of the country, with southwest flow at 500 mb over the central and northern plains region. This is somewhat similar to the pattern that gave us record warmth over the region over the past week. However, the ridge to the east for early next week does not look as strong as the one from the last week. There are some differences with the timing and placement of various shortwave troughs early next week as well. At the surface, the models are keeping any precipitation with focused warm air advection to the west of the area Sunday into Sunday night. A quasi-stationary front early next week also remains to the west, before slowing shifting towards the area by Wednesday. There is some model differences here as well. For now, will keep mainly lower end chances for showers in the forecast at times. This period may end up mainly dry, especially if the ridge to the east gets more amplified than currently forecast. Temperatures look to warm well into the 70s for much of this period, as south winds linger over the area. This would be well above normal for this time of year. They may end up higher, if the dry pattern occurs. AVIATION(09Z TAFS)... Widespread thicker fog should be confined to the Wisconsin River Valley early this morning, while patchy shallower ground fog is expected elsewhere through 13-14Z or so. A VFR period can be expected, however mid-clouds will increase later today and linger into tonight, associated with warm air surge ahead of approaching cold front. Expect a few showers, and possibly a t-storm, to affect parts of southern WI later this afternoon and especially tonight. MARINE... Wind speeds will continue to slowly fall early this morning, as a surface high pressure ridge builds into the southern Lake MI area. Wind speeds are mostly down to 10 to 15 knots offshore, and 5 to 10 knots at the shore. Wave heights at the Wilmette Buoy located off northern Cook County in northeast IL have been subsiding slowly as well, and at 4 ft at 08z. Northwest winds will back to the west this morning, and will likely turn SSE during the aftn, as land areas warm to near 70. Breezy offshore winds on Wednesday caused upwelling of cooler waters in the shallower near shore waters. A passing cold front may bring a few showers and isolated t-storms to the waters this evening. Then a wind shift to the north can be expected later tonight into Friday morning. Wind gusts may reach 25 knots or Small Craft Advisory levels during this time, before subsiding Friday night. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None.
