MRCWhat 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 Apr 2, 5:30 PM CDT, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Strong to severe thunderstorms expected this evening, with all hazards possible. An Enhanced Risk for severe is outlooked by SPC. A Tornado Watch is in effect until 8 PM CDT for much of southern WI.
- Additional chances for rain and strong thunderstorms Friday evening into Saturday.
- Gales will continue over Lake MI into this evening.

.UPDATE...
Issued 530 PM CDT Thu Apr 2 2026
Storms have developed across the Mississippi Valley this evening,
and are already producing tornadoes, golf ball sized hail, and
damaging winds. Strong surface WAA is building into far southern
Wisconsin ahead of these storms, priming our environment for
similar activity within the next hour. Temperatures have already
quickly risen into the mid-60s across the farthest southern line
of Wisconsin counties, with expectation that the warm front with
similar temperatures will continue to push north through Dane,
Dodge, Washington, and Ozaukee Counties within the next two hours.
Low track into Fond du Lac and Sheboygan Counties on both meso
models and high res guidance indicates potential for storm
development/warm frontal boundary convection all the way through
those regions. With that, have expanded the Tornado Watch to
include all counties south and east of Iowa/Dane/Columbia/Fond du
Lac.
Mixed Layer CAPE values of 750-1000 J/kg expected through the I-94
corridor (supercellular mode possible with any cells that develop
ahead of the main line), with values 500-750 expected north of
the corridor (transition to a QLCS as instability decreases).
Southwesterly bulk shear of 50-60 kt will allow for any surges to
the northeast to become capable of breaking through any remaining
capping inversion north of I-94, and producing damaging winds and
perhaps a few tornadoes. Tornado Watch currently out through 8 PM
CDT, but may need an extension for an hour or two for the
northeasternmost counties in the Watch.
MH
&&
.SHORT TERM...
Issued 351 PM CDT Thu Apr 2 2026
Tonight through Friday night:
Currently, all of southern WI is parked just north of a warm
front that is expected to surge north through the rest of the
afternoon and early evening. This will happen as a surface low
rapidly tracks from central Iowa to southwest Wisconsin by this
evening. Showery rain and fog should lift north and give way to
warmer temperatures, with some brief clearing over southwest WI
as the warm sector moves in. With daytime solar insolation and
strong warm advection, temperatures and dewpoints in the 60s
should be realized late afternoon into this evening and MLCAPE
is expected to rise to around 1100 J/kg along the WI/IL border.
Looking at radar trends to our west, a scattering of low-topped
supercells and QLCS line segments will be the mode this evening.
Given great low level SRH around 200 m2/s2 and sickle shaped
hodographs in the low levels, tornadoes will be possible with
any well established supercells and QLCS-line segments. Damaging
wind will also be possible where low level instability is
maximized and large hail can't be ruled out with any supercells.
At this time, the highest severe threat appears to be along the
WI/IL border where the best surface-based environment will be
realized. A Tornado Watch has been issued for Lafayette, Green,
Rock, and Walworth Counties until 8pm. Areas north toward I-94
are not out of the woods, as even with a more marginal CAPE
environment, most CAPE will be in the 0-3km layer supporting a
more marginal wind and tor threat. Storms are expected to move
in around 5 and move out over Lake Michigan around 11pm.
Following tonight's excitement a brief surface ridge is expected
to move through Friday, before a surface low approaches for
Friday night into Saturday. Another more marginal round of
strong to severe weather may occur, primarily south and west of
Madison as a line of storms form along an occluded front. Lapse
rates will be a bit better amid 1000 to 1500 J/kg of MUCAPE, but
storms will primarily be elevated, leading to a hail threat.
Storms will then move through Friday night, generally weakening
as they head east toward Lake Michigan, and exiting through
dawn on Saturday.
CMiller
&&
.LONG TERM...
Issued 351 PM CDT Thu Apr 2 2026
Saturday through Thursday:
The occluded low and front will pass Sat AM with much of the
widespread showers and storms already to the east, but scattered
showers may linger. The broad occluded low will then gradually
deepen as it lifts newd into the nrn Great Lakes later on Sat,
then to wrn Quebec by 12Z Sun. Brisk wnwly winds and cold
advection will prevail Sat afternoon into Sun with high temps
from 45-50F for Sunday. The cool conditions will continue
through Tue as a couple shortwave troughs in nwly flow aloft
reinforce the cool air mass. They will also bring 20 percent
chances for light rain and snow Sun nt-Mon. Large high pressure
will then shift across srn WI on Tue, moving to the Mid Atlantic
States on Wed. Sly winds and warm, moist advection will then
boost temps for Wed, but also bring 20 to 30 percent chances
for rain. A weakening Canadian cold front may then stall over
the region Wed nt-Thu with 40-50 percent chances of rain.
Gehring

.AVIATION...
Issued 530 PM CDT Thu Apr 2 2026
Afternoon round of showers and storms are lifting to the
northeast and the warm front is gradually lifting northward. May
see an hour or two window in between the departing activity and
redevelopment with improving flight conditions. Otherwise,
expecting the showers and storms to redevelop through the
evening as low pressure lifts northeastward from IA through
southern WI. Will see a broken line of strong to severe
thunderstorms with this activity now through 04z. With any
strong to severe thunderstorm activity can see lower LIFR/IFR
ceiling and visibilities along with heavy rain, damaging winds,
large hail, and even a few tornadoes at times. Severe chances
work southwest to northeast through the evening and reaching the
lakeshore by 04z. Will see this activity wind down as the low
and cold front pushes through, lower ceilings may linger with a
westerly wind shift overnight. Winds then ease and turn more
easterly into Friday.

.MARINE...
Issued 351 PM CDT Thu Apr 2 2026
Gusty easterly winds over the north end of Lake Michigan and
southerly winds of the southern two thirds are currently ongoing
as a low pressure of 29.4 inches approaches from southern Iowa.
This low will pass over the midsection of the lake tonight,
ending the gales over the northern end of the lake, while
southerly gales will continue south until a cold front sweeps
through.
Winds will then become northwesterly tonight and then light and
variable for a time midday Friday as a weak surface ridge passes
over the lake.
Winds will then become northeasterly Friday night as a weaker
low pressure of 29.8 inches occludes and passes over the
southern end of the lake through early Saturday. Easterly winds
over the northern end of the lake may reach gale force Saturday
morning. Winds then veer southwesterly through Saturday
following the surface low.
