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 Milwaukee, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Oct 1, 9:33 PM CDT, 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 1, 9:33 PM CDT, 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
933 PM CDT Mon Oct 1 2018

.UPDATE...

Rain has come to an end for areas northwest of a line from Monroe
to Port Washington. Rain and isolated thunder will wind down in
the southeast by midnight. Other than a stray shower or two, dry
weather will then be expected across southern Wisconsin overnight.

&&

.MARINE...

Decided to extend the Small Craft Advisory from North Point Light
northward until 4 am later tonight due to lingering waves of 4 to
6 feet. Should see waves subside to 2 to 4 feet by daybreak.

Lighter winds and lower waves are expected across Lake Michigan on
Tuesday as high pressure briefly moves through.

Southerly winds will pick up late Tuesday night into Wednesday
ahead of approaching strong low pressure. A Small Craft Advisory
will likely be needed for the nearshore waters Wednesday into
Wednesday night, with winds possibly reaching gale force across
the northern half of Lake Michigan.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 719 PM CDT Mon Oct 1 2018)

UPDATE...

A broad line of moderate to locally heavy rainfall with embedded
thunder continues to trek through the area this evening. Flooding
concerns are not too high, as the heaviest rainfall this evening
is falling south of where the heavy rain fell last night.
The better instability remains south of the WI/IL border, so not
particularly concerned about a severe threat as this wave pushes
through. Will continue to keep an eye on the stronger radar
returns though toward the IL border in case anything tries to get
feisty.

AVIATION(00Z TAFS)...

Rain with embedded thunder will continue to push through this
evening, largely exiting to the east by midnight or shortly
thereafter.

There's a mix of ceilings out there this evening, but think that
widespread low ceilings will settle in behind the
rainfall...persisting into Tuesday morning. There should be some
improvement in ceilings by Tuesday afternoon, though possibly no
better than MVFR.

Models are suggesting fog could develop tonight given the recent
rain and light winds. Not sure about this though due to cloudy
skies expected through the night. Will have to watch trends
behind the departing rainfall.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 348 PM CDT Mon Oct 1 2018)

SHORT TERM...

Rest Of This Afternoon and Tonight...Forecast Confidence Is
Medium.

A slow northward transport of better MLCAPE through cntrl/nrn IL
with passage of northward moving warm front. Still looks like our
CAPE in srn WI will be of the elevated variety, but still a close
enough call in the far south that it bears watching. MESO progs
show a cluster of shra/tsra moving across the area into the mid
evening hours. 850 mb frontogenesis is shifting a bit northward
through CWA. Plenty of 0-6km shear with limited instability.

Primary threat at this point looks to be some hail and some
additional heavy rains. With this precip on the move not expecting
anything more than isolated impacts from the rainfall. So will
hold off on any Flood Watch at this juncture.

Tuesday...Forecast Confidence Is Medium.

Low pressure passing to the east with a surface high settling
across. LLVL RH progs show some clearing potential in the
afternoon, more so on the GFS/ECMWF versus the NAM. Overall
expecting a quiet day within this overall active pattern.

Tuesday Night Through Thursday...Forecast Confidence Is Medium.

Models are in pretty good agreement with the next system affecting
the area Tuesday night into Wednesday night. Period of focused
warm air advection Tuesday night into Wednesday may bring some
showers and a few storms to the area. However, most of the
activity should focus northwest of the area, as the low level jet
points into that area.

Despite possible clouds on Wednesday, gusty south to southwest
winds should bring warm highs into the upper 70s and lower 80s. If
more sun can develop, temperatures may go higher. Strong cold
front pushes southeast through the area Wednesday evening, exiting
later Wednesday night. Thunderstorms are likely with the front.
The focus for severe storms looks to remain northwest of the area,
though we could still see some stronger storms moving into the
western parts of the area. Marginal risk for severe on SPC Day 3
Outlook seems reasonable, as shear will be quite strong.
Instability will be questionable with possible cloud cover. Not
expecting a lot or rain with this next system.

Things should dry out for Thursday, with cold air advection
moving in. Temperatures will return to more seasonable values.

LONG TERM...

Thursday Night Through Monday...Forecast Confidence Is Medium.

Active patter looks to continue with another system affecting the
region for Thursday night into Friday night, and possible
lingering into Saturday. There are model differences with trends
during this period, with the GFS the taking low pressure northeast
through Wisconsin Friday night and exiting Saturday. The ECMWF and
Canadian keep a slower timing of the low crossing northeast
through the area Saturday. Either way, it looks wet with generally
small chances for thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts are difficult to
pin down at this point, with the model uncertainty. Keep up with
the forecast!

Another warm front may move northward into the area later in the
weekend and early next week. Lots of uncertainty with trends this
far out, but it looks wet and active.

AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...

IFR ceilings in place with low level boundary remaining south of
the area. Expecting some lower vsbys in precip areas. SHRA/TSRA
threat will be greatest through about 04z or so. Ceilings expected
to be at IFR levels into this evening. Some improvement expected
on Tuesday, as low passes by and surface ridging takes hold.

MARINE...

waves. The northern lake continues to look favorable for possible
gale conditions on Wednesday, so a watch will probably be needed
