  tonight. Waves 8 to 12 feet south half Tuesday into Tuesday 
  night.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Gale Warning means winds of 34 to 47 knots are imminent or
occuring. Operating a vessel in gale conditions requires
experience and properly equipped vessels. It is highly
recommended that mariners without the proper experience seek safe
harbor prior to the onset of gale conditions.

A Gale Watch is issued when the risk of gale force winds of 34 to
47 knots has significantly increased...but the specific timing
and/or location is still uncertain. It is intended to provide
additional lead time for mariners who may wish to consider
altering their plans.

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 Jan 5, 11:34 AM CST, 3 hours 26 minutes earlier.

.UPDATE...A shortwave trough and low pressure area will move ewd

well ahead of the wrn USA upper trough. Temps Sun will be 10-15
degrees cooler than today.

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...VFR conditions this afternoon. Sct010

across the nrn Great Lakes today followed by a 1034 mb high that
will move ewd across Ontario, Canada late tnt-Sun. Wly flow and
mild temps are once again expected today followed by a trailing

clouds will increase through the day on Sun via warm advection
well ahead of the wrn USA upper trough. Temps Sun will be 10-15
degrees cooler than today.

MARINE...Modest wly winds today across all of Lake MI becoming
nwly by late aft-early eve via a cold frontal passage. The winds
will veer to due nly late tnt and continue to veer to due ely
during Sun afternoon.

A wave of low pressure will then approach from the west and move
across Lake MI for Sun nt-Mon. A sly low level jet of 60 kts is
forecast prompting a Gale Watch for all of Lake MI and the
nearshore waters for late Sun nt into Mon afternoon. A Gale
Warning will likely be issued for this period. Brisk wly winds
will prevail afterward with another cold frontal passage and
possible gales for Tue-Tue nt.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 507 AM CST Sat Jan 5 2019)

UPDATE...No changes to forecast at this time. Patchy fog will
burn off this morning with sunny to partly cloudy skies and
unseasonably mild conditions.

PC

AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...Patchy IFR vsbys here and there but low
vsbys have been rather transient in nature. Just some upstream
cirrus today otherwise wsw winds will prevail ahead of a cold
front that will work through later this afternoon or this evening.
This will switch winds around more to the northwest/north. High
pressure settles in for Sunday though onshore flow may bring some
MVFR cloud cover into the area at times.

PC

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 239 AM CST Sat Jan 5 2019)

SHORT TERM...

Today and Tonight - Confidence...Medium to High.

Patchy fog will burn off early this morning. Will definitely be
trending towards the warmer side of guidance for highs as prefrontal
airmass (925 temps pushing 10c in southern cwa) suggests it may
be even warmer than yesterday, so potential is there for some
areas to once again eclipse the 50 degree mark. Frontal boundary
will work through later today and this evening shifting winds to
the north. Low level thermal fields do collapse but expect the
unseasonably mild airmass to prevail before then. Surface high
builds in later tonight with more in the way of quiet early
January weather expected.

LONG TERM...

Sunday...Forecast Confidence High.

East winds will start to increase during the day Sunday, as high
pressure moves east through the Great Lakes and deep low pressure
begins to develop over eastern Colorado. Temperatures will be a
bit tricky for Sunday, with the increasing easterly winds moving
over Lake Michigan keeping temperatures a bit cooler than they
otherwise would be. For now went with mid 30s closer to the lake,
with upper 30s west.

Sunday Night and Monday...Forecast Confidence Moderate.

The surface low will quickly lift into Iowa Sunday night, with
surface winds increasing across the area as they become more
southeasterly. Gusts Sunday night into Monday look to be between
30 and 40 MPH in many places, with gusts to 45 MPH possible along
the immediate Lake Michigan lakeshore.

Precipitation will begin to overspread the area from the west late
Sunday night. The leading edge of the precipitation may be in the
form of a wintry mix, with a short period of snow and perhaps
some sleet possible before temperatures warm enough to change
everything over to rain. Some minor snow accumulation is possible
overnight northeast of a line from Baraboo to Port Washington late
Sunday night, but anything that sticks will quickly melt once
precip changes to all rain.

Rain will continue through the first half of the day Monday,
before ending from west to east during the afternoon. A widespread half
to three quarters of an inch of rain is expected, and when
combined with snowmelt, will likely result in rises on many area
rivers.

Tuesday through Next Saturday....Forecast Confidence Moderate.

A broad wave moving through the Great Lakes will drag a fairly
strong cold front through the area Tuesday, with temperatures
likely falling through the second half of the day as much colder
air builds in from the northwest. Lows Tuesday night look to fall
into the teens and low 20s, with highs on Wednesday only
recovering into the mid 20s. A few flurries are possible late
Tuesday and Wednesday as the strong cold advection kicks in, but
no significant precipitation is expected from this system.

Temperatures will warm a few degrees Thursday and Friday as high
pressure moves through the area. Another wave will move through
the region late in the week or early next weekend, which would
result in the next potential for precipitation.

AVIATION(09Z TAFS)...Patchy fog early this morning will burn off.
Some MVFR/patchy IFR vsbys expected mainly in the usual areas and
near melting snowfield. Otherwise VFR conditions today and
tonight. Cold front passes through later today and this evening
with a shift in winds to the north for the overnight hours.

MARINE...West southwest winds today ahead of a cold front. As
cold front passes this afternoon and tonight there will be a shift
in winds to the north. Winds are not expected to reach gale or
small craft levels. However we will be watching a more substantial
uptick in winds Sunday night into Monday which will result in very
rough waters. At this point gale conditions are looking like a
sure bet. We are also seeing at least some potential for parts of
the northern lake to see isolated storm force winds later Sunday
night into early Monday. This will all be due to a tightening
pressure gradient associated with a low pressure system moving
through the Great Lakes region. Have issued a Gale Watch for both
the open lake and nearshore waters for 06z-21z Sunday
night/Monday.
