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 Sep 3, 2:25 PM CDT, 2 hours 52 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 3, 2:25 PM CDT, 2 hours 52 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 225 PM CDT mon SEP 3 2018 .THROUGH TONIGHT...Forecast Confidence - Medium. SPC meso charts show more favorable thermodynamic profile in the far southern potion of the cwa where some of the cells have been a little feisty. Mid level wave riding in from the southwest helping with some forcing from above while the LLJ and surface warm front aid forcing from below. Large area of stratiform rain, some moderate, affecting northwest cwa. Meanwhile deeper convection in warm sector shifting north/northeast through northern IL. 1000 ML cape into the far southern cwa with 500 MU cape across the cwa, so isold tsra likely in northwest cwa with better chances in the southern and southeast cwa closer to the better instability. Expecting convection to be progressive and of the non-training variety so will hold off on a flash flood watch headline, though some urban flooding likely in some of the heavier downpours. Tuesday - Confidence...Medium Progs show the mid level ridging expanding across the area with building heights. Forcing gets pushed more to the northwest and north of the area with the warm sector taking hold here. A southerly wind and some sunshine should allow temps to rise well into the 80s. At this time prefer the drier look of the NAM and WPC with respect to acknowledging a drier scenario. However will keep some small pops going for collab purposes. Tuesday night and Wednesday - Confidence...Medium As frontal boundary leans into the area this period will be expanding the pops southeastward. Approaching mid level energy will have enough oomph to break down the influence of the ridging, so some additional forcing provided by this feature. Surface front proggd to work through during the afternoon and clear the south Wednesday evening. So will have pops for shra/tsra along the front this period. Thursday - Confidence...Medium Front should be pushed far enough to the south to go with a dry day. Surface high will be building in with a much cooler and considerably less humid airmass in place. .EXTENDED PERIOD... .THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...Forecast Confidence - Medium. Zonal steering flow across the upper midwest and Great Lakes will carry surface high pressure and mid-level ridging across the area early in the period. Drier ENE flow will result in lower humidity and continued dry conditions across southern WI through Friday night. Temperatures will remain much more seasonal for early September. Medium range guidance comng into better agreement on developing low pressure trof in the central Plains early in the weekend. This trof will further strengthen to a mid-level short wave which progresses eastward across the central MS Valley region into the eastern Great Lakes by Sunday. Despite timing issues, Medium range guidance has similar track and returns a threat for showers and potentially heavy rain to southern WI on Saturday/Saturday night. This short wave may have moisture remnants from tropical system "Gordon", so atmosphere will be moisture rich with high precipitable water returning. Fortunately, this system will remain progressive with drier conditions returning Sunday into Monday. && .AVIATION(21Z TAFS)...Continued off and on showers/thunderstorms this period as ridge riding energy combines with an LLJ and slowly lifting warm frontal boundary. As surface warm front lifts north later tonight expecting some of the lower cigs/vsbys will also gradually show some improvement as well. It appears the worst vsbys have been near the lake and also in the northeast corner of the cwa. The MET MOS seems to be handling the scenario best while the GFS MOS looks too optimistic. && .MARINE...With some colder lake surface temps being observed and very moist airmass in place above will have a dense fog advisory in place through 14z Tuesday. A wind shift potentially coming on Thursday. Some higher gusts will be possible with that cold front passage. Otherwise, the main concern will be with any thunderstorms that roll through the region. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...Dense Fog Advisory until 7 AM CDT Tuesday for LMZ643>646. TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/AVIATION/MARINE...PC THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...MBK
