What forecasters said that day

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

Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 6:03 AM CDT, 4 hours 18 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
603 AM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

Updated aviation portion for 12Z TAF issuance

.SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Tuesday
Issued at 316 AM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

Surface cold front has entered northwest part of forecast area and
is only slowly moving south as upper flow is nearly parallel. Weak
shortwaves in westerly flow bringing a couple more waves of
convection to the area in the next 30 hours, with the heaviest
this morning. Will continue Flash Flood Watch this morning for
central Wisconsin. Monday high temps will be at least 10-15 deg
cooler than Sunday most areas under the clouds and periodic rain.

The front will continue its slow slide south, but another wave
will bring more showers/storms by Tuesday morning, especially
across southern Wisconsin. With the clouds and rain, high temps on
Tuesday will be warmer across the far north.

.LONG TERM...Tuesday Night Through Sunday
Issued at 316 AM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

Model consensus has jogged a little north for precip chances
Tuesday night as areas of showers/storms develop north of the
surface boundary situated across southern WI. While most of the
area looks to stay dry, will keep a chance for showers/storms
across the far south through the night.

Drier air works into the area on Wednesday as the boundary gets
pushed well to our south and high pressure ridging slides over
the Great Lakes. This high pressure will keep things dry across
the area into Thursday night or Friday morning. Then, a vertically
stacked low pressure system will move from the central Plains
mid-week to the western Great Lakes late in the week. Models are
actually in decent agreement showing the low/trough arriving in
northern IL Friday night, then drifting into Lower Michigan on
Saturday. Still some time for timing to change, but this system
looks to bring the chance for showers and a few storms to the
area late Friday into Saturday, but the majority of the activity
(including any severe weather chances) will remain south of the
area.

High temps look to be above normal Wednesday and Thursday, then
drop to near or below normal Friday/Saturday across central and
east central WI due to cloud cover and rain chances, but could
remain above normal over the north where less cloud/rain is
expected. A few chilly nights (lows in the middle to lower 50s)
are expected across northern WI mid-week.
&&

.AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 600 AM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

Showers and embedded thunderstorms will continue across parts of
central and east-central Wisconsin this morning.

The combination of the rain and the arrival of a cold front will
cause ceilings to lower to MVFR/IFR this morning, but some
improvement should occur during the late morning and afternoon.
VFR conditions should prevail from late afternoon into the
evening.
