What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement 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 beach hazards statement went out at Jul 13, 3:27 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 3:27 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 327 PM CDT Mon Jul 13 2020 .SHORT TERM... Tonight and Tuesday - Confidence...Medium to High Mid level and surface ridging dominate tonight. Diurnally driven CU field will dissipate with the loss of heating. Lake breeze has brought corridor of clear air westward from the lake. The surface and mid level ridging shifts eastward into Tuesday. We will see the southerly flow increase tapping into some higher moisture. With the mid level flow becoming more wsw some vorticity will be drawing closer to northwestern fringes of the area as the day wears on. The northeast/southwest lower level convergence zone is proggd to remain to the northwest of the area so some of the slower solutions on precip advancement have some merit. .LONG TERM... Tuesday Night through Sunday Night...Forecast confidence is moderate to low. A cold front will slowly sink southeastward Tuesday night. Storms in the west may be potentially severe, but will likely decrease in strength and coverage as they approach southern WI overnight. The front will slow, and then as a 500mb shortwave approaches from the west Wednesday morning, convection will likely perk up again for a second round during the afternoon on Wednesday. High pressure will then build in behind the system and dry conditions out for Thursday. Friday into the weekend, a large-scale ridge should build in and allow for warmer temperatures. The GFS has consistently been holding off on higher temperatures (95+), but the ECMWF has been flip- flopping on temperatures, having them skyrocketing into the mid to upper 90s with one run and then trending back toward the GFS with the other. We'll continue to watch the heat potential for this upcoming weekend. One thing that is consistent is the possibility for intermittent t-storm activity for S WI as complexes form and ride the top of the ridge. && .AVIATION(21Z TAFS)... VFR CU field will erode this evening with loss of heating. Otherwise VFR this period with more fog potential later tonight in Wisconsin River Valley. Tuesday looks mainly dry though some shra/tsra could sneak into the northwest sections of our area in the afternoon. && .MARINE... Breezy southerly winds will develop for Tuesday and continue through Tuesday night ahead of a low pressure system. The northern nearshore zone is a close call for a small craft but will hold off at this time. Winds will be lighter Wednesday, but shift to the northwest Wednesday night as a front moves through. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...None. && Tonight/Tuesday and Aviation/Marine...Collar Tuesday Night through Monday...CMiller
