What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale 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 gale warning went out at Oct 18, 12:25 AM CDT, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 18, 12:25 AM CDT, 2 hours 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 1225 AM CDT Thu Oct 18 2018 .UPDATE... The forecast looks on track overnight into Thursday. Gusty southwest winds should develop by Thursday afternoon. Mostly sunny skies are expected, with highs in the middle 50s. && .AVIATION(06Z TAFS)... Light and variable winds and clear skies are expected overnight into early Thursday morning. Southwest winds will gradually build Thursday morning, with gusts of 18 to 20 knots in the afternoon. Mostly clear skies should linger Thursday into Thursday evening. The southwest gusts should persist into Thursday night near Lake Michigan. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 901 PM CDT Wed Oct 17 2018) UPDATE...The forecast is on track for tonight and Thursday. MARINE...A Gale Warning is in effect Thursday afternoon and evening for the north half of Lake MI. Swly gales and high waves will develop during this period due to a tight pressure gradient between high pressure over the Ohio River Valley and low pressure moving across Canada. The winds may briefly ease below gales late Thu nt before becoming swly gales again during the daylight hours on Fri. Thus the Gale Warning may need to be extended or a Gale Watch may be needed for Fri. Gales will also be possible over the south half of the lake on Fri. Over the nearshore waters of se WI, a prolonged period of breezy winds is forecast from Thu nt-Sat. Breezy swly winds will prevail Thu nt-Fri becoming nwly Fri nt-Sat. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be needed during this period. High waves will be prevalent over the open waters of Lake MI. PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 621 PM CDT Wed Oct 17 2018) UPDATE...A sfc ridge over the Upper MS River Valley will shift across srn WI late nt and extend across the Ohio River Valley by Thu eve. Thus winds will decouple this evening with low temps in the upper 20s to lower 30s by sunrise Thu. Swly winds and warm advection will develop for Thu with high temps in the middle to upper 50s. AVIATION(00Z TAFS)...VFR conditions tnt-Thu. Gusty swly winds to 20 kts Thu aft. PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 249 PM CDT Wed Oct 17 2018) SHORT TERM... Rest of this Afternoon through Tomorrow Night...Forecast Confidence High... Gusty northwest winds will continue through the rest of this afternoon. As we head into this evening, the combination of decreased boundary layer mixing and the arrival of high pressure should result in a quick drop off in wind speeds. Temperatures tonight should fall into the upper 20s to around 30 degrees. Winds will become southwesterly tomorrow as the surface high moves into the Mid Atlantic. This will help boost temperatures into the mid to upper 50s with plenty of sun. Lows tomorrow night will be on the mild side, with low to mid 40s expected. LONG TERM... Friday and Saturday...Forecast Confidence Medium to High... Gusty southwest winds continue on Friday morning, ahead of another cold front approaching from the northwest. This front will comes through during the afternoon and early evening hours. A few sprinkles or light showers aren't out of the question, but for most places this should be a dry frontal passage. Brisk northwest winds will continue on Saturday as a stronger mid level shortwave and associated cold front move through during the mid day hours. We should see an area of precipitation develop and move across the area in association with this system. Right now, it looks like it may be just warm enough to keep this as mostly rain, though a few wet snowflakes are certainly possible, especially across central Wisconsin. In any case, temperatures are expected to remain warm enough to preclude any meaningful accumulation. Sunday through Mid Week Next Week...Forecast Confidence Medium to High... The active (and windy) pattern of northwest flow will continue into next week, with a parade of clipper systems every 2-3 days. After Saturday, precipitation chances look rather low through mid week next week. Temperatures will vary a bit, oscillating between low to mid 50s and low to mid 40s ahead of and behind each frontal passage. AVIATION(21Z TAF Update)... VFR is expected through the next 24 hours. Gusty northwest winds will persist this afternoon, but should quickly fall off by early evening as high pressure moves south into the area and temperatures start to cool. Winds will be light overnight, as they shift to the southwest. Southwest winds will then prevail on Thursday. MARINE... Gusty northwest winds will continue into early evening across the nearshore waters. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through 7 PM. Winds will become southwesterly by tomorrow morning, increasing tomorrow afternoon, especially across the northern half of the Lake. A Gale Warning is in effect for the northern half of Lake Michigan for Thursday afternoon into Thursday night, with gales to 40 knots expected. Another Small Craft Advisory may be needed for the nearshore waters as well. Winds are expected to fall off a bit tomorrow night, but increase again from the southwest Friday ahead of a cold front. Southwest gales are looking increasingly likely for the entire lake on Friday ahead of the front, with northwest gales possible Friday night into Saturday behind the front. A Small Craft Advisory will likely be needed for these times as well. The overall active pattern looks to persist into next week, with winds switching between southwest and west/northwest every few days as various frontal boundaries move across Lake Michigan. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
