WAGNERWhat 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 Mar 20, 3:49 AM CDT, 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 3:49 AM CDT, 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
349 AM CDT Fri Mar 20 2020
.SHORT TERM...
Today and tonight...Forecast confidence is medium to high:
Rain will persist early this morning, with a gradual transition
to snow mainly along and northwest of a line from Mineral Point to
Sheboygan as colder air wraps in behind the departing low. Some
light snow accumulations will be possible in the northwest, with
up to an inch possible. Best chance for accumulations will be on
elevated and grassy surfaces. Dry weather is then expected from
mid- morning through tonight as high pressure builds in from the
northwest. Gusty winds today will gradually ease this evening into
tonight.
Highs today will be several degrees below normal due to the colder
airmass and lingering clouds. Could see some sunshine by mid/late
afternoon. Lows will be chilly tonight as well, ranging from the
upper teens to low 20s.
.LONG TERM...
Saturday and Sunday...Forecast Confidence High...
Saturday will be cool but much less windy, with highs ranging from
the low 30s near the lake to mid 30s further west. Cloud cover
will be variable, with some clearing possible during the morning
and early afternoon hours over the western half of the forecast
area. Across the east, however, a fairly substantial band of lake
effect clouds are expected to affect the first tier or two of
counties closest to Lake Michigan. A few flurries will be possible
across this area as well.
Mid and high level clouds will increase later in the day as a
shortwave approaches from Minnesota. A stray shower or flurry is
possible over central Wisconsin with this feature, but overall
moisture will be lacking. Temperatures Saturday night will fall
into the mid 20s.
Sunday Night through the Middle to End of the Week...Forecast
Confidence Medium...
A southern stream shortwave will then move toward the area on
Sunday, with low chances for a few rain or snow showers across
far southeastern Wisconsin Sunday night, as the wave and
associated surface trough lift through Illinois and northwestern
Indiana.
Upper level flow will remain active for much of next week, with
additional chances for precipitation Tuesday and Wednesday night
into Thursday. Despite the rain chances, temperatures will be
fairly reasonable, with highs in the 50s most days.
&&
.AVIATION(09Z TAFS)...
Ceilings should eventually improve to MVFR by mid-morning today,
with a return to VFR by late afternoon or early evening as high
pressure begins to build in from the northwest. Rain will persist
early this morning, with a gradual transition to snow mainly along
and northwest of a line from Mineral Point to Sheboygan. Some
light snow accumulations will be possible in the northwest, with
up to an inch possible. The best chance for accumulations will be
on elevated and grassy surfaces. Dry weather is then expected
from mid-morning through tonight. Gusty winds today will
gradually ease this evening into tonight.

.MARINE...
Gusty north to northwest winds will develop this morning behind
departing low pressure over the eastern Great Lakes and ahead of
high pressure over the Northern Plains. Gale force winds and high
waves are expected, with the strongest winds to 40 knots over the
north half of Lake Michigan. A little freezing spray will be
possible across the northern third of the lake today into this
evening as a colder airmass arrives.
Kept the Gale Warning timing as is for the open waters, but
extended the Small Craft Advisory for the nearshore waters into
Saturday morning due to lingering waves.
The high will weaken just a bit and move over Lake Michigan
Saturday, bringing lighter winds back to the area. Southeast winds
will pick up some Sunday as the high slides eastward.
