What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Aug 5, 6:08 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 5, 6:08 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
608 PM CDT Mon Aug 5 2019

Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Tuesday
Issued at 229 PM CDT Mon Aug 5 2019

The threat for severe weather continues to be the main challenge
in the short-term. Cold front approaching the area is moving into
a moist, unstable atmosphere. Convection from earlier MCV moving
across NE Wisconsin while additional storms form near the surface
front.

Somewhat drier air will move into the area overnight, but low-
level mositure will be sufficient for areas of fog.

Weak ripple in WNW flow aloft may set off isolated convection,
perhaps associated with convergence along lake breeze.

.LONG TERM...Tuesday Night Through Monday
Issued at 229 PM CDT Mon Aug 5 2019

Another cold front is expected to move through the region Wednesday
afternoon and evening, and bring thunderstorms to the forecast
area. CAPE is expected to build to 1500-2500 j/kg ahead of the
boundary, as deep layer shear increases to 25 to 35 knots. SPC
has the forecast area in a Marginal risk for severe weather, which
seems reasonable for now. Convergence along the boundary is not
expected to be very strong, due to low-level westerly flow, so
coverage should be scattered.

Canadian high pressure is expected to build into the region for
the end of the work week, and bring dry weather, cooler
temperatures and low humidity.

A new development is the potential for precipitation on Saturday,
as WAA on the northwest periphery of the departing high, a short-
wave trof, and a coupled upper jet impact the region. This should
be a quick hitter, with Canadian high pressure returning for the
end of the weekend and early next week.

.AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance

end from west to east this evening.

Some ground fog or low stratus is possible late tonight through

remainder of the daytime hours.
