Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 3 storm reports to this flash flood warning; the first came 51 minutes after it went out.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash 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 flash flood warning went out at Jul 5, 3:27 PM CDT, 4 hours 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 3:27 PM CDT, 4 hours 12 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
327 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 327 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022)

Tonight through Wednesday night:

Heat indices are reaching their peak across south central and
southwestern Wisconsin with values around 100-105 being observed.
Temperatures will slowly fall this evening with dewpoints
remaining in the 70s across most of the area so it will still feel
sticky.

Starting to see signs of convective initiation along the moisture
and instability axis. This can be seen in the cumulus field
stretching from around Lone Rock southeast into Walworth County.
Along this area and south has the best potential for
thunderstorms. There is plenty of instability with over 4000 J/kg
of CAPE and precipitable water values around 2 inches. There is
enough shear (around 30 knots) for storms to be somewhat organized
and could result in a few severe storms with winds and heavy rain
as the primary concern, but some large hail can't be ruled out.
The other area of storms we are watching are moving through
eastern South Dakota. Expecting them to move a bit more eastward
and move along the instability gradient and follow the corfidi
vectors a bit more. If this does happen this are a of storms would
clip our area, but there is some uncertainty with how strong
they'll be.

The movement of storms could result in training and with an
efficient rainfall producing environment could result in some
locally heavy rainfall and flooding. Make sure to keep up with the
forecast into this evening for the latest information.

Wednesday rain and storms look to move out in the morning
resulting in a dry break for the afternoon. Some uncertainty with
when an area of positive vorticity advection moves in Wednesday
evening. We may stay dry until late Wednesday night if it is
delayed, otherwise showers and storms return.

RAH

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 327 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022)

Thursday through Tuesday:

Expect the warm and humid conditions to linger into the end of the
week, with multiple chances for showers and thunderstorms as we
continue to see a number of shortwaves round the upper-level ridge
anchored across the Southeast. With PWATs remaining around 1.5-2
inches across the area through Friday night, heavy rain will remain
a concern with any thunderstorm activity. Of course, this far out
and in this pattern the ensembles and deterministic guidance are
wavering a bit on the timing of any late week thunderstorm activity
and how unstable conditions will be over the area.

For the upcoming weekend, deterministic and ensembles are in good
agreement with the upper-level ridging retrograding across the
southern half of the country, from being anchored over the Southeast
to the Southern Rockies. This will favor the development of
northwest flow and increasing subsidence across the Great Lakes
region as high pressure builds into the region. Towards the end of
the weekend and/or into early next week, the upper-level ridging
that strengthens across the Northern Plains flattens out as a few
stronger shortwaves traverse the upper-level ridge and dig southeast
across the region. This will bring back warmer air into the region
and additional chances for MCS activity.

After we get through early next week, we start to see a blocking
pattern show up across the CONUS as upper-level ridging strengthens
and dominates over the Intermountain West. This will leave the Great
Lakes region under broad northwest flow, with drier, less humid
conditions prevailing.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 327 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022)

Some pockets of MVFR ceilings in south central Wisconsin otherwise
VFR ceilings between 3-5 kft are present across the area.
Thunderstorms are beginning to pop up south of MSN. Expect more to
develop over the next few hours along and south of a MSN-ENW line.
Still some uncertainty for areas north of that line how much
convection they'll see. A few stronger storms are possible with
winds and heavy rain as the main concern. Some locally heavy
rainfall is possible. Expect reduced visibilities and lower
ceilings in storms.

Watching storms in eastern South Dakota as they could make their
way through here later tonight. Drier conditions then move in for
the day Wednesday before another round of rain and storms moves in
from the west after 00Z Thursday.

RAH

.MARINE...
(Issued 327 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022)

Some dense fog in the nearshore waters mainly from Port Washington
and southward. This is expected to linger through the rest of this
afternoon into the early evening. Some pockets of fog are also
possible across the open waters. Multiple chances for showers and
storms tonight into Wednesday morning, and Wednesday night through
Thursday mainly over the southern half of the lake. Winds will
mainly be light and northerly through the week.
