GEHRINGWhat 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 Milwaukee, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 17, 9:32 AM CDT, 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 17, 9:32 AM CDT, 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
932 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020
.UPDATE...
Widespread light to moderate rain continues across the area. This
should persist into this afternoon, as a surface low currently
located over central Iowa very slowly moves east into northern
Illinois. A slot of mid level dry air will eventually bring an end
to the heavier rain late this afternoon into this evening, though
showers and drizzle will continue.
Best shot for any thunder will be with a line of heavier rain
just ahead of the dry slot. This line currently stretches from
west of Dubuque to near Quincy. Along with thunder potential,
heavier rain can be expected with this time. It's currently
expected to clip the southeastern part of the state early to mid
afternoon.
&&
.MARINE...
Strengthening east and eventually northeast flow is expected today
and tonight across Lake Michigan. Waves will build rapidly this
afternoon across the western side of the lake, with gusty winds
and high waves persisting into Monday night. Northeast gales are
expected across the north half from late this afternoon through
tomorrow morning. Winds over the south half and in the nearshore
should generally stay just below gale, though a few gale force
gusts are possible. Fog will also be a concern at times over the
south half today, as higher dewpoints move over the relatively
cool water.
Northeast winds will persist Tuesday and Wednesday, though speeds
will gradually diminish with time, as will waves. Quiet weather is
then expected into the weekend.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 614 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020)
AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...
IFR to LIFR ceilings have moved in and will remain over the area
into Monday morning. Gusty east to northeast winds are expected
today with gusts up to 30 knots mainly before 00Z. MVFR to IFR
visibilities are expected with the ongoing rainfall. There is a
slight chance for a few thunderstorms with the best potential
during the afternoon and towards the Wisconsin/Illinois border.
PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 345 AM CDT SUN MAY 17 2020)
SHORT TERM...
TODAY THROUGH MONDAY - Confidence...High.
A slow moving closed upper level low currently over eastern south
Dakota will provide ample upper level divergence and positive
vorticity advection to support the ongoing rain throughout the day
and into Monday. Along with the upper level support we'll have a
frontal boundary stretched along the Wisconsin/Illinois border along
with warm are advection and moisture advection from the Gulf of
Mexico. Precipitable water values will be around 1-1.75 inches today
and with well saturated forecast soundings expect rain to be
efficient. Highest rain amounts are expected to be towards eastern
Wisconsin with rainfall amounts of 2.5-4 inches and isolated higher
amounts through tonight. Therefore a Flood Watch is in place for
portions of southeast and east central Wisconsin. Flooding may occur
in low lying areas, along creeks and streams, and in known trouble
spots. Rises in river levels are also expected.
There is a slight chance for a few embedded thunderstorms mainly
south of I-94 with a few hundred J/kg of CAPE. We'll move to the
backside of the surface low tonight with wrap around showers
continuing through Monday. With rain and clouds the next few days
temperatures will be mainly in the 50s.
Decided to push up start of Lakeshore Flood Advisory to this
afternoon as stronger onshore winds are expected to start earlier
today. Waves are expected to build to 6 to 8 feet this afternoon.
Wind gusts to 35 mph will be possible this afternoon and tonight,
especially from Milwaukee County northward to Sheboygan county. With
Lake Michigan remaining at record levels, still thinking some minor
lakeshore flooding and erosion is possible. Also the Sheboygan,
Black and Milwaukee rivers at the mouth into Lake Michigan may
experience localized flooding as well.
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY - Forecast Confidence...Low to Medium.
A kink in the forecast has developed which is cause for lower
confidence and a less optimistic outlook for this period. A weak
tropical moving northward off the southeast coast is looking more
likely to slow the eastward progress of the developing cutoff low
that will be setting up over the central MS Valley on Monday. Enough
low to mid level moisture and weak convergence will linger over the
region to result in lingering shower chances continuing Monday night
into Tuesday, especially over the southeast This cutoff will move
far enough to the south to allow the rain chances to end and dry
weather to return beginning Tue night. Clouds will likely
linger on Tuesday with below normal temps for May 19th.
LONG TERM...
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY - Forecast Confidence...Low to
Medium.
Greater uncertainty has crept into the extended outlook for at least
the first few periods. Cutoff and nearly stationary low pressure
over the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys is looking now to linger longer
over that area and may eventually even retrograde to the north to
northwest toward the western Great Lakes towards the end of the
week. This depends on the strength and orientation of upstream long
wave troffing and amount of high pressure ridging between these two
systems. The lingering cutoff low may keep light showers in the
area even into Tuesday night, but for now thinking mostly dry
conditions can be expected from Tuesday night through most of
Friday. A stronger easterly flow off cool Lake Michigan will result
in the continued streak of cooler by the lake days with milder
conditions farther inland. At least 60s are expected well inland
Wednesday through Friday, with possibly some lower 70s over parts of
south central WI. Shower chances return late in the period, either
from the cutoff low shifting back into the central and western Great
Lakes or a piece of short wave energy from the western trof breaking
through the lingering ridging.
