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 Sep 4, 10:12 AM CDT, 4 hours 8 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 4, 10:12 AM CDT, 4 hours 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 1012 AM CDT Mon Sep 4 2023 .UPDATE... (Issued 1008 AM CDT Mon Sep 4 2023) No major changes to the going forecast except for a slight change in the forecasted dew points for this afternoon. Expect hot and humid conditions today with daytime highs in the 90s and heat indices fairly close to the air temperatures. CMiller && .SHORT TERM... (Issued 313 AM CDT Mon Sep 4 2023) Today through Tuesday: The heat and dry conditions continue for today and Tuesday with highs in the 90s. Closer to the lakeshore temperatures may only remain in the 80s. It will however feel a little more humid with dew points increasing into the 60s and to around 70 on Tuesday. This will result in heat index values slightly above air temperatures. At this time not expecting any headlines, but will need to monitor heat index values for Tuesday as we could get close to advisory levels west of Madison. Stay hydrated and make sure to take breaks in the shade or AC if you have any outdoor plans. Today there is a moderate swim risk at Lake Michigan beaches in Sheboygan and Ozaukee counties. Use caution, stay away from dangerous areas like piers, breakwalls, and river outlets. Make sure to have a flotation device. Tuesday a high swim risk is expected at Lake Michigan beaches in Sheboygan and Ozaukee counties. A high swim risk means life- threatening waves and currents are expected. Stay out of the water and stay away from dangerous areas like piers and breakwalls. Moderate swim risk conditions are also expected for Lake Michigan beaches in Milwaukee and Racine counties on Tuesday. Elevated fire weather concerns continue for Sauk, Columbia, Marquette, and Green Lake counties. Check out the Fire Weather section below for more information. RAH && .LONG TERM... (Issued 313 AM CDT Mon Sep 4 2023) Tuesday night through Sunday: An upper level trough advects into the area Tuesday evening into Wednesday. The main band of positive vorticity advection looks to move through Tuesday night along with the low level jet. With the lift, increased moisture, and instability in place, scattered showers and storms will be possible (30-50%). Looking at soundings and the shear profile there could be some stronger storms that produce gusty winds and hail. We'll have to monitor this potential as we get closer. If storms move in late Tuesday night then the threat for these stronger storms would be reduced. Lingering showers and storms will be possible (20-40%) Wednesday as the upper level low lingers with positive vorticity advection providing lift along with the surface front that is expected to move through Wednesday afternoon. Behind the front cooler and drier conditions move in for the remainder of the week with highs in the 60s and 70s. RAH && .AVIATION... (Issued 1009 AM CDT Mon Sep 4 2023) VFR conditions will persist today amid mostly clear skies and persistent subsidence. Expect southwesterly breezes between 15 and 20 knots this afternoon becoming more southerly and easing a bit this evening. CMiller && .MARINE... (Issued 313 AM CDT Mon Sep 4 2023) Southwest to south winds continue with gusts around 20 knots over the open waters. Winds increase Tuesday ahead of a low pressure system that will work its way into the area Tuesday night into Wednesday. Gusts around 25 knots are expected with the southerly winds. A Small Craft Advisory may be needed for areas north of Port Washington Tuesday afternoon. Winds then turn to the northwest Wednesday night behind the low and continue through the rest of the work week. RAH && .FIRE WEATHER... (Issued 1012 AM CDT Mon Sep 4 2023) Today minimum relative humidity values will be around 30 for Sauk, Columbia, Green Lake, and Marquette counties. These values paired with hot temperatures, southwest winds gusting to around 20 mph, and dry fuels will result in elevated fire weather conditions. Under these conditions, fires will easily start. A Special Weather Statement has been issued for these areas.
