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.
NWS Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 23, 3:43 AM CDT, 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 23, 3:43 AM CDT, 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 343 AM CDT Mon Apr 23 2018 Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Tuesday Issued at 343 AM CDT Mon Apr 23 2018 Overall quiet weather expected for the start of the new work week. A west to east surface high pressure ridge anchored over the Great Lakes region today into Tuesday will continue to bring near normal temperatures, dry weather and sunshine over most areas today. The air mass has been so dry that overnight fog has not developed despite the snow melt. However some patchy fog was showing up over minnesota early this morning. Some high level clouds may brush parts of east central Wisconsin later today into tonight as a slow moving storm system drifts over the ohio valley/Tennessee region. Meanwhile mid to high level clouds with a northern stream frontal system over Northern Plains may work into northwest Wisconsin tonight. More clouds are expected Tuesday as the upper ridge flattens and the Northern Plains frontal system sags into the state. There is a chance for light showers in the afternoon as the front slides southeastward over the state. Temperatures cool a little behind the front, but a warm tuesday morning start will allow temperatures to reach normal levels over east central Wisconsin. .LONG TERM...Tuesday Night Through Sunday Issued at 343 AM CDT Mon Apr 23 2018 Two weak systems to deal with during the period. The first system will be exiting the area Tuesday evening, thus a small chance of rain showers was warranted across northeast Wisconsin. The second system arrives Thursday afternoon and lingers into Thursday night. This system should bring mainly rain to the area. If precipitation lingers longer into the night, it could end up as a little snow across the far north. Otherwise, Wednesday may end up being another very dry day with humidity readings below 30 percent across the north. Temperatures throughout the period should be at or slightly below normal. There are some indications that the warmest day of the year may be possible early next week. Stay tuned!. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1120 PM CDT Sun Apr 22 2018 VFR conditions with light winds will prevail through the TAF period. The very dry airmass in place continues to prevent fog development during the overnight hours. Some mid and high clouds may spread in from the southwest Monday evening and overnight as a low pressure system passes well to the south. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 343 AM CDT Mon Apr 23 2018 Rivers levels continue to rise with the runoff from the snow melt. There are a few chances of rain this week, Tuesday afternoon and then again toward Thursday afternoon and Thursday night. Both systems are not expected to generated much rainfall, so run off will be mainly due to the snow melt this week. The upcoming weekend looks dry as well. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM.....TDH LONG TERM......Eckberg AVIATION.......Kurimski HYDROLOGY......TDH
