HANSENWhat 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 1, 10:13 AM CST, 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 1, 10:13 AM CST, 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 1013 AM CST Wed Mar 1 2023 .UPDATE... (Issued 1013 AM CST Wed Mar 1 2023) Low clouds have moved into southern WI this morning, but they will move out as soon as a weak front associated with an upper wave kicks through from west to east through early afternoon. Once south to southwest winds increase, clouds will rise and decrease. There is an area of higher reflectivity on radar which is light snow or sprinkles that will clip portions of south central WI like Wisconsin Dells and Montello over the next two hours. A brief reduction in visibility and a dusting on surfaces is expected with this band. The 12z models are rolling in and there are still large discrepancies between the solutions. It comes down to a phasing of the upper wave or not phasing. Cronce && .SHORT TERM... (Issued 335 AM CST Wed Mar 1 2023) Today through Thursday: An area of rain and snow continues to dissipate and exit across southeast Wisconsin this morning in response to ongoing warm air advection. As this area of lift gradually wanes and the axis of better moisture transport moves east of the area, this area of precipitation will continue to diminish this morning. There are some very light returns showing up across southwest Wisconsin, which may end up being some drizzle at times through the morning hours. However, soundings aren't overly excitable for drizzle chances for opted to leave it out for now. The back edge of this stratus is moving across north-central Iowa this morning, thus clearing should sneak into at least far southern Wisconsin later this afternoon and pivot eastward this evening. Temperatures today will warm into the 40s, perhaps into the lower 50s across southern Wisconsin where better chances for clearing will take place this afternoon. Later this evening and into the overnight hours, the compact surface low currently moving east across South Dakota will weaken and move east across Wisconsin. As this low moves to our north, we may get clipped with some light rain or snow up across central Wisconsin. Cold air advection works into the area as this low passes through the region tonight into Thursday, ushering in colder air and breezy north winds. These breezy winds will relax throughout the day on Thursday and become northeasterly as high pressure moves east over the Upper Great Lakes. With this pocket of colder air aloft overhead on Thursday, expect high temperatures on Thursday to warm mainly into the 30s. Anderson && .LONG TERM... (Issued 335 AM CST Wed Mar 1 2023) Thursday night through Tuesday: For the extended forecast attention turns to Friday for a low pressure system to track through the Great Lakes Region bringing a chance for snow. Unfortunately there is a bimodal distribution between the GEFS and ECMWF members that all rely on the track of the low. Frontogenesis, warm air advection, positive vorticity advection, and moisture associated with the low may bring accumulating snow to southeast Wisconsin or accumulating snow may remain just southeast of the area. A slight shift in the low track will make a significant difference in who sees snow and who does not, it will also determine the strength of the northeasterly winds over the area as well. As a result in the different solutions accumulations vary over a large range. Definitely a situation to keep up to date with the forecast. Good news is Saturday is looking dry, maybe will even see some sunshine with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. A push of positive vorticity advection, warm air advection, and an 850mb low level jet will bring us another chance for precipitation Saturday night into Monday. Precipitation looks to be a wintry mix with the rain/snow line over the area. Further into next week we could see a period of dry conditions with an upper level ridge overhead, but colder temperatures will also be possible as seen in the ensemble members. RAH && .AVIATION... (Issued 1013 AM CST Wed Mar 1 2023) Ceilings are a mix of LIFR, IFR AND MVFR this morning. A brief period of light snow or sprinkles will track across portions of south central WI between now and 1 PM, likely remaining just north of KMSN. A brief reduction in visibility and a dusting of snow would be possible. Look for clearing skies at least south of I-94 for a time this afternoon as south to southwest winds kick in. A surface low moves through this evening, this will bring winds around to the west and northwest and eventually the north overnight. Winds will increase in speed on the backside of this surface low this evening and through tonight. Some light precipitation is possible at KSBM as this low moves through tonight. Anderson/Cronce && .MARINE... (Issued 335 AM CST Wed Mar 1 2023) A weakening surface low will track east across Lake Michigan tonight. Ahead of this low, winds become east-southeast today and then west-northwest to northerly as the low exits over Lake Michigan tonight. Winds behind the surface low will increase to around 20 to 30 knots. Some of these gustier winds may work into the nearshore waters, thus we will need to keep an eye out small craft conditions tonight. Waves of 4 to 5 feet then build into the nearshore waters on Thursday as north to northeast winds persist, thus small craft conditions look more favorable due to waves on Thursday. Northeast gales look possible Friday into Friday night, but there remains a lot of uncertainty in the track of this next surface low and thus how strong these northeast winds will get. We may need a Gale Watch for the southern half or third of the lake as we get closer. Winds will gradually wane and become west to northwest this weekend at around 10 to 20 knots. Early next week, another low passing through the region may allow for an uptick in easterly winds. Anderson && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None.
