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 Feb 20, 3:31 PM CST, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 20, 3:31 PM CST, 1 hour 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
331 PM CST Tue Feb 20 2018

.SHORT TERM...

Tonight...Forecast Confidence is Medium...

Plume of moisture will continue to stream across SE WI well into
the evng...possibly a few hrs past midnight. This will only serve
to exacerbate the existing flooding. All rain will be out of the
state by early Wed mrng. Cold air will slowly filter into the area
overnight with temperatures steadily falling below freezing from
west to east. Depending on how long the rain lasts across far SE
WI and how quickly the cold air can make it that far east, there
may be a brief period of freezing rain in far SE WI around 06Z. At
this time, even if it does happen, it should not be a big deal
since the precip should be ending about the time it gets cold
enough to cause problems.

.LONG TERM...

Wednesday...Forecast confidence is high:

High pressure will bring some sunshine and colder temperatures on
Wednesday, with highs a couple degrees below normal.

Thursday and Friday...Forecast confidence is medium:

Warm advection ahead of approaching low pressure will bring a
chance of rain/snow on Thursday, with only a little precipitation
expected. The low will then move through Thursday night into
Friday, bringing widespread light precipitation. Models continue
to show a warm layer aloft, with near or below freezing
temperatures at the surface. A prolonged period of freezing rain
is possible Thursday evening into Friday morning, with up to 0.10"
of icing. This is worth keeping an eye on, as slick driving
conditions may be present for the Friday morning commute.
Temperatures are expected to warm enough Friday to melt any icing
by late morning.

Saturday through Tuesday...Forecast confidence is medium:

A stronger low pressure system is progged to move through later
Saturday into Sunday. This could bring some accumulating snowfall
to at least northwest portions of the forecast area, depending on
the track of the low. The majority of models would keep the precip
as mainly rain in the southeast.

A consensus of models suggests high pressure will result in mainly
dry weather for Mon/Tue. The ECMWF and Canadian are showing a wave
later Monday or early Tuesday though, which could bring a little
rain/snow to the area.

&&

.AVIATION(21Z TAFS)...

Scattered IFR CIGs and MVFR VSBYs assoc with the ongoing precip
will last thru the aftn across SE WI. Higher CIGs and improving
VSBYs should work in from the west thru the evng with conditions
improving to VFR overnight. Rain will linger across far SE WI
thru the evng. There could be a brief period of freezing rain
overnight across far SE WI along the back edge of the precip as
colder air filters into the area. Due to low confidence in this
scenario, did not include in the fcst attm. Winds will remain W
to NW thru the fcst prd potentially gusting 15-20 kts.

&&

.MARINE...

Winds have become westerly this afternoon should remain offshore
into Wednesday before becoming northerly. Winds may gust near
small craft advisory levels overnight into early Wednesday
morning. Rain will move out of the nearshore areas of southeastern
Wisconsin tonight.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of east central
Wisconsin, south central Wisconsin and southeast Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

A Flood Watch is in effect for portions of southern Wisconsin
until early evening. Any additional rain will combine with the
melting snowpack and frozen ground to cause rivers and streams to
continue to rise. Additional flooding of roads and creeks will
likely occur as well.

Temperatures will fall into the teens and 20s tonight. This could
cause slick spots on roads due to the freezing of ponding water.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Tuesday

There is a chance of freezing rain Thursday night into Friday
morning. Icing could cause slick driving conditions for the Friday
morning commute.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
