What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this storm 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 storm warning went out at Mar 18, 10:07 PM CDT, 4 hours 25 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- The next storm system moves in Wednesday, initially bringing all rain and scattered thunderstorms to southern Wisconsin. There is marginal risk for severe storms, with the best chances (5 percent severe hail, with a lower wind risk) in far southern portions of the area Wednesday afternoon and early evening.
- Rain quickly changes over to wet, slushy snow from northwest to southeast late Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday evening. There is more uncertainty with snowfall amounts during this period. Strong winds with the snow will lead to blowing and drifting snow Wednesday night, with travel impacts.

There is marginal risk for severe storms, with the best

.UPDATE...
Issued 1007 PM CDT Tue Mar 18 2025
Gusty northeast winds raced down the Lake Michigan shoreline
this evening and temperatures quickly fell into the lower 40s.
The wind gusts are a little stronger than anticipated.
The 00Z NAM is available and it is picking up on the cold lake
and how it will probably influence the location of the surface warm
front tomorrow afternoon. The HRRR model started picking up on
this late in the afternoon. In the NAM forecast, the surface
winds never take on a southerly component- they remain northeast
to north through the day. With other models trending this
direction, I trended our Wednesday highs lower than the previous
forecast and I am sure it's not cool enough.
Despite the surface front not getting into southern WI, the
850mb front should, so that still gives us the chance for
elevated convection (and a hail potential).

.SHORT TERM...
Issued 340 PM CDT Tue Mar 18 2025
Tonight through Wednesday night:
Models are in decent agreement with a frontal boundary slowly
sliding just south of the area tonight, with low pressure then
tracking along the boundary across far northern Illinois on
Wednesday. The low level jet nose and moisture advection will
push into the area by Wednesday morning, bringing the first
round of showers and scattered thunderstorms. May see small hail
and brief heavy rainfall from this first round.
A second round of showers and scattered thunderstorms are then
expected for Wednesday afternoon and early evening, as the low
passes by just to the south. This is as the main 500 mb
shortwave trough and associated differential CVA moves into the
area, with convergence from the 850 mb low tracking over the
area.
This second round will have more upward vertical motion to work
with, and some weak instability with strong deep layer and low
level wind shear. Thus, strong to possibly severe storms may
occur, with the best chances in the far south, closest to the
low track and frontal boundary. Large hail is the main hazard,
with strong wind gusts and a spinup tornado possible, especially
near that stalled frontal boundary in the far south/southeast
parts of the area.
There should then be a quick change over from rain to wet,
slushy snow from northwest to southeast across the area
Wednesday evening, as strong cold air advection kicks in with
gusty northwest to north winds. There is uncertainty here with
the snowfall amounts, as the highest QPF and upward vertical
motion appears to have shifted further southeast, where it may
be warmer initially in the evening. Thus, forecast snowfall
amounts have come down somewhat, and later shifts will need to
refine timing and amounts.
The main impact will be wet, slushy snow with the gusty
northwest to north winds of 35 to 40 MPH, perhaps a few gusts to
45 MPH, Wednesday evening into the overnight hours. Travel
impacts are expected during this time, despite the snowfall
amounts trending downward somewhat. Later shifts will need to
evaluate if enough confidence for a winter weather headline is
needed.

.LONG TERM...
Issued 340 PM CDT Tue Mar 18 2025
Thursday through Tuesday:
Clearing skies are forecast early Thu AM in the wake of the low
pressure area. A sfc ridge and upper ridging will then arrive
for the afternoon and evening. This will be occurring ahead of a
couple shortwave troughs moving across the nrn Great Plains.
They will eventually merge over IL by early Fri evening becoming
a fairly strong upper trough.
At the surface, breezy sswly winds will develop for Fri
followed by a cold frontal passage Fri evening. The trend is for
higher rain and snow chances Fri evening with 50 percent
chances forecast at this time, but this precipitation could
easily become widespread. A sfc ridge will then settle over WI
on Sat with upper ridging expected later in the day. Cool temps
are forecast Thu and Sat, with lower to middle 50s on Fri via
the sswly flow and warm advection.
Yet another amplifying upper trough will approach from the
Dakotas for Sun-Sun nt with the sfc low tracking to the north
followed by a cold frontal passage Sun nt. Breezy ssely winds
will develop ahead of it for during the day with highs in the
40s, followed by polar air Sun nt. Thus rain may change to snow
Sun nt but any snow accums should be light. The resultant upper
low will slowly move across the Great Lakes Mon-Tue with weak
shortwave troughs possibly rotating through the area. Thus temps
will remain cool for this period with 20-30 percent chances for
lgt snow and rain.

.MARINE...
Issued 1007 PM CDT Tue Mar 18 2025
The northeast winds in the wake of a weak cold front are
stronger than previously forecast, so we expanded the Small
Craft Advisory down to Wind Point. The front should stall
somewhere around Kenosha Harbor and Winthrop Harbor overnight
into Wednesday morning, keeping winds slightly lower in that
area.
The low pressure will progress into the Missouri River Valley and
deepen tonight, allowing a warm front to advance into the
southern open waters. The front is forecast to stall somewhere
over south central Lake Michigan during the day on Wednesday,
resulting in southeast winds over the southeast third of the
lake and northeast winds further north and west.
The low will move across southern Lake Michigan Wednesday night,
resulting in a wind shift to the north over the entirety of the
open waters. High-end gale force gusts up to 45 kt are expected
Wednesday night through Thursday morning.
Widespread rain is anticipated over Lake Michigan Wednesday, with
a few thunderstorms possible in the southern open waters. Rain
will change to snow Wednesday night as colder air moves in from
Canada. Freezing spray appears unlikely at this time. There will
be additional chances for gales Friday as well.
