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 Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 28, 10:35 PM CDT, 4 hours 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 10:35 PM CDT, 4 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1035 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020 Updated aviation portion for 06Z TAF issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Sunday Issued at 225 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020 The main forecast concern to be on potential heavy rainfall tonight as a strong early Spring storm moves across the region. The 19Z MSAS surface analysis showed the strong area of low pressure situated over southwest IA with a warm front extended eastward across central IL into south-central IN. A cold front stretched southwest from the low pressure into the central Plains. A weak area of high pressure was located across Ontario. One band of rain showers moved through northeast WI earlier today with the next round of showers to move through late this afternoon. The vertically-stacked system to move from southwest IA into central WI tonight with the warm front to reach into far southern WI before the cold front drives eastward over southern sections of the Great Lakes. Strong synoptic lift to spread across northeast WI tonight, aided by a coupled jet structure. Plenty of moisture to be present with PW values in the 0.75-1.00" range. As the closed upper low approaches, mid-level forcing ramps up as well. Putting this altogether, anticipate a large swath of rain to overspread the area this evening with locally heavy rainfall. Rain amounts this evening alone could reach one-third to three-quarters of an inch range. Thunderstorms are still possible this evening over central/east-central WI due to strong shear and weak elevated instability. Since we do not get into the warm sector, expect small hail to be the main threat. In addition to the rain, gusty east-northeast winds this evening could produce minor lakeshore flooding on the west side of the Bay of Green Bay, along with the eastern shores of Door County (due to high waves). Ice shoves are also possible on the western side of the Bay and western shores of Lake Winnebago. After a busy evening, models show a dry slot rotating into eastern WI which would allow for the rain to diminish a bit. Winds will also diminish overnight as the surface low moves into WI. Min temperatures to be in the middle to upper 30s north, upper 30s to lower 40s south. As the system moves toward the northern tip of Lower MI on Sunday, wrap-around moisture in a cyclonic flow will bring additional light rain to northeast WI. As temperatures begin to cool late in the day, some wet snow may mix with the rain over parts of north- central WI. Winds will be on increase through the day as the pressure gradient tightens behind the departed surface low. Gusts could approach 30 mph, but the wind direction to be west- northwest, thus no lakeshore flooding expected. However, ice shoves cannot be ruled out over eastern sections of the Bay or eastern shores of Lake Winnebago. Do not anticipate much of a diurnal rise in temperatures with readings only reaching around 40 degrees north- central WI, middle to upper 40s east- central WI. .LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Saturday Issued at 225 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020 Fairly quiet weather expected through at least mid-week before the next chance of precipitation arrives toward the end of the work week. Sunday night: A vertically stacked surface low and upper low, centered over northern Lower Michigan, will shift eastward into southwest Quebec by early Monday morning. As cold air advects into the area on the back side of the low, expect some of the lingering precipitation will transition to light snow. Some minor accumulation will be possible, mainly across north-central Wisconsin where some upslope and added lake moisture could add to the lingering precipitation. At this point, it continues to look like an inch or less for mainly Vilas and Oneida counties with little to no accumulation expected elsewhere. In fact, most other locations may end up remaining light rain or drizzle. Overnight lows are forecast to be in the mid 20s to mid 30s, warmest east-central and far northeast. Monday through Tuesday night: As the low shifts farther east, drier air will begin filtering in from the west Monday morning. Some clouds will likely linger through late morning or early afternoon before high pressure builds in Monday afternoon through Tuesday night. Otherwise, this time period is expected to be fairly quiet. High temperatures are forecast to be in the 40s with overnight lows mainly in the 30s. Rest of the extended: The high pressure ridge is expected to shift eastward through the day Wednesday, allowing more moist southerly flow to increase. This will be ahead of the next potential system arriving from the northern Plains. There are significant model differences in timing and placement with the next feature, which keeps confidence in any one model solution very low. At this point, will stick with a blend of the models for the end of the work week, bringing a better chance of unsettled weather back to northeast Wisconsin. Temperatures are expected to be near normal through this time period. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1031 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020 Poor flight conditions will continue into tomorrow as a deep vertically stacked cyclone tracks east northeast into Wisconsin. Primarily LIFR conditions are expected, although the visibility and ceiling may lift at times when heavier rain mixes the low- levels. Scattered thunderstorms will produce small hail until a couple hours after midnight. LLWS will also persist for a time, until winds start to decrease as the cyclone center nears the area. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 225 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020 A widespread 0.75 to 1.5" of rainfall is expected this weekend. This amount of rainfall, coupled with saturated soils, will lead to additional rises on area rivers. Many rivers will remain above bankfull, with a few reaching minor flood stage. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
