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 Dec 1, 8:28 PM CST, 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 1, 8:28 PM CST, 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
828 PM CST Sat Dec 1 2018

.UPDATE...

No big adjustments needed at this time. The line of severe storms
that spawned a few tornadoes down in Illinois is evolving into a
band of stratform rain as things stabilize and the activity moves
north into the cooler air mass. This could dump another 1/4 inch
of rain as it lifts north through the area later this evening and
overnight.

The rain/snow line is hovering very close to our northern CWA
border around the Wisconsin Dells over to Fond du Lac/Sheboygan.
We don't have the transition occuring there until close to 12z
Sunday, but it may sneak in there a bit sooner. The thermal
pattern looks stable and not moving, so we could see the later
transition. It will only take a shift of one degree or two to make
all the difference, so remain alert for that transition.

The track of the low hasn't changed much. The low still looks to
become more of an elongated trough with the axis just creeping
into our border counties with IL as it moves northeast. This
should bring us another wet and at times snowy day on Sunday. As
the cold air advects in, we'll see the changeover gradually push
northwest to southeast. The higher snow amounts will remain north
of Milwaukee and Madison.

&&

.MARINE...

A powerful surface low pressure system will track from northern
Missouri to central Lower Michigan over the next 24 hours. The
track of the low takes it across the southern third of the lake.
Over far southern Lake Michgan, look for the easterly winds to
veer south tonight, then southwest and eventually northwest on
Sunday. Across northern Lake Michigan, the easterly winds will
back to the northeast tonight and north on Sunday. The gale
warning will continue across the north half of the lake through
Sunday night. A gale warning has been posted for the southern half
of the lake for Sunday night due to the expected gale force
northerly winds.

High pressure will gradually build into the area on Monday,
bringing diminishing winds and quieter conditions through at least
the middle of next week.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 503 PM CST Sat Dec 1 2018)

UPDATE...

No changes to the short term forecast. The thunder has rolled into
southeast Wisconsin with the RAP showing the best tall skinny
CAPE. The severe storms down near the Quad Cities will stay south
of Wisconsin. This is along and south of the occluded front and
this won't get into southern Wisconsin at least not this evening.
The stiff east wind off Lake Michigan is one reason. That
convection to the south will eventually roll into southern
Wisconsin, but it will be toward mid to late evening and it will
be diminishing in intensity as it pushes deeper into the cold air.
Winds will die down quickly overnight, especially across the
southern half of the forecast area, as the baggy part of the
surface trough lifts into the area. We may end up getting some
dense fog late tonight into Sunday morning.

We are going to see a little graupel/hail come out of some these
stronger storms this evening. Any transition back to snow with
this system will begin well northwest of Madison and not until
late tonight, or after sunrise on Sunday.

AVIATION(00Z TAFS)...

Look for IFR conditions through most of the TAF period. MVFR CIGS
will begin to push into the area late Sunday afternoon into Sunday
evening. Powerful low pressure over northern Missouri this evening
will begin to elongates it becomes increasingly occluded. That
trough will lift into far southern Wisconsin, resulting in
diminishing east winds. The front within that trough should stay
just south of Wisconsin, or just sneak into the far south late
tonight. Winds will back to the northeast overnight becoming north
Sunday afternoon. the winds will become rather light as the
trough pushes in, and this could bring a period of dense fog late
tonight into Sunday morning. The look for those northerly winds to
increase Sunday afternoon.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 335 PM CST Sat Dec 1 2018)

SHORT TERM...

Tonight and Sunday...Forecast Confidence is medium to high.

Slushy snow accums this afternoon from WI Dells to Ripon
and nwd. Some additional light snow accum is expected there but
mostly rain for tnt. Did mention slight chances for tstorms
spreading nwd through the afternoon and over all srn WI tnt as the
850 mb TROWAL provides tall, skinny CAPE via the forecast
soundings. Already seeing stronger cells with the potential for
thunder over se WI and IL. Do expect the showers and isold
tstorms to expand once again from this afternoon into the evening
as low to mid level warm, moist advection and frontogenesis
continues with the arrival of the TROWAL.

The occluded low will evolve more into a sfc trough along the
occluded front, and tracking enewd from srn IA to srn Lake MI for
Sun. This will maintain light mixed pcpn for Sunday with rain
gradually changing to light snow from nw to se across the area.
Snow accums for Sun-Sun nt 2 inches or less with highest amounts
north and northwest of Madison. Another concern is the dense fog
potential over se WI late tnt into Sun AM as the occluded low
passes. Areas of fog is forecast for now.

LONG TERM...

Sunday Night through Wednesday... Forecast confidence High.

Brisk northerly winds will scour out the fog Sunday evening. Snow
will taper off from west to east through the night as we get out
of the cyclonic flow. Surface high pressure will nose into
southwest Wisconsin as it slides into the Central Plains Monday
night. We can expect quiet weather and lighter winds for southern
Wisconsin Monday through Wednesday afternoon. Temperatures will be
below normal, with highs in the lower 30s Monday and mid to upper
20s Tuesday and Wednesday.

Wednesday Night through Thursday... Forecast confidence is Medium.

A mid level shortwave will drop through the Upper Midwest Wed nt
into Thu morning. This clipper energy will combine with moisture
that originates from the Pacific off the coast of northern
California and bring a round of light snow to southern Wisconsin.
This is looking like around an inch accumulation with the better
chance of reaching that amount toward southeast WI. This will also
bring a reinforcing shot of cold air to the region.

Friday through next Weekend... Forecast confidence is Medium.

Low pressure will track across the central or southern U.S.
during this period. Precip associated with this system is expected
to remain south of Wisconsin at this time. Southern WI should
remain dry with fairly light winds and continued cool, winter-like
temperatures.

AVIATION(21Z TAFS)...Cigs below 1 kft and vsbys of 1-2SM for
this afternoon through Sun with rain and snow occurring at times.
Dense fog is possible over se WI late tnt-Sun AM. Brisk and gusty
enely winds will weaken tnt.

MARINE...Gale Warnings remains in effect for the nrn half of Lake
MI through Sun nt while it expires over the srn half tnt at
midnight. A Small Craft Advisory is now in effect for the
nearshore waters of Lake MI for tnt-Sun.

The enely gales will expand into nrn Lake MI late this afternoon
and evening. On and off gales will continue over the north through
Sun nt. Over the south, winds will become weaker and variable as
the low pressure area slowly moves across the area late tnt into
early Sun eve. Areas of dense fog may occur over the srn half of
the lake as the low slowly passes. Brisk nly winds will follow
for Sun nt-Mon and may approach gale force. Very high waves are
expected over portions of Lake MI through at least Mon.
