What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 27, 2:20 PM CDT, 1 hour 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 2:20 PM CDT, 1 hour 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
220 PM CDT Thu Jun 27 2019

.SHORT TERM...
This afternoon and Tonight.

The MCS near the MS River is expected to continue ewd around
35-40 kts as it encounters MLCAPE values of 2000-3000 J/KG and
lowering MLCIN values. Damaging straight-line winds are the main
concern. The gust front is currently out ahead of the line which
may limit the SVR wind potential unless it becomes more balanced.
Afterward, the larger scale LLJ will focus from IA into nrn WI
where a couple MCVs will track ewd. The LLJ will gradually veer
through the night and layover into srn WI for the early Fri AM
hours. Scattered tstorms are expected this evening at times in the
wake of the MCS but another MCS is then expected to move sewd
into srn WI for the early Fri AM hours. Some heavy rain concerns
since some locations could have multiple rounds of tstorms but
overall the flash flood risk remains low.

Friday.
The outflow boundary/stationary front may trigger isold to sct
tstorm development for Fri afternoon. No upper dynamics are
present and wind shear is weak, but pulse SVR storms will be
possible due to moderate to large CAPE and weak CIN.

.LONG TERM...

Friday Night through Sunday...Forecast confidence high.

The frontal boundary will likely sag south to around the WI/IL state
Friday night as mid level ridging builds in the plains and nudges
into Wisconsin. Thunderstorm chances will continue into the evening
due to weak shortwave activity moving over this frontal boundary.
Most models, with the exception of the NAM which brings in cooler
temps, show plenty of instability through the evening.

The mid level ridge will push more into the region on Saturday and
southwest flow at the surface will bring warmer temps into the
region. Many areas, especially in the west could hit 90 degrees.
There isn't much in the way of forcing for Saturday so it will
probably be dry. However the weak cap does erode somewhat later in
the day with 2000 plus of cape so can't rule out a thunderstorm if
the cap weakens.

The ridge remains in place on Sunday then starts to break down
Sunday night or Monday as shortwave activity moves through. Sunday
has a good chance of being dry then precip chances increase during
the evening and overnight with the short wave activity.

Monday through Thursday...Forecast confidence medium.

Zonal flow will dominate with shortwave activity moving through. A
weak frontal boundary will be wavering across the region
providing the focus for on and off thunderstorm chances during
this period. Somewhat milder temperatures are expected, with highs
in the lower to middle 80s. The humidity will likely continue
with dew points in the upper 60s during the day.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...
Most Vsby and Cig restrictions will occur in and around
thunderstorms for this afternoon, tonight, and Friday. Thus the
prevailing conditions will mostly be VFR although clouds will be
present much of the time.

&&

.MARINE...
The main hazard for Lake MI will be thunderstorms with
gusty winds for late this afternoon into Fri. The other hazard
concern is dense fog as a humid airmass moves over the cold waters
of Lake MI. Light to modest winds are expected for today and
through the weekend.
