The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 2, 5:14 AM CST, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 614 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2014 UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 12Z TAF ISSUANCE .SHORT TERM...TODAY...TONIGHT...AND TUESDAY ISSUED AT 411 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2014 JET ENERGY ROTATING AROUND A DIFFUSE UPPER LOW TRACKING ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA WILL PROVIDE MODEST UPPER SUPPORT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY DESPITE WEAK SURFACE FEATURES AND WEAK LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION. THERE IS PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE SO NOT MUCH NEEDED TO GET SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING. FORECAST K INDICES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S LEND SUPPORT TO THAT IDEA. ORGANIZED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DO NOT SEEM LIKELY BASED ON THE LACK OF STRONG SURFACE AND UPPER AIR FEATURES...BUT THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A FEW STORMS THAT PRODUCE WINDS OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS AND TORRENTIAL RAIN. THE BEST CAPE ARRIVES IN THE CENTRAL COUNTIES DURING THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON AND IN THE EAST TOWARDS EVENING AHEAD OF THE SURFACE FRONT OR TROUGH. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY IN THE NORTH AS THE UPPER SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR. THERE COULD BE A PERIOD OF GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING AS STRONG COLD ADVECTION HELPS MIX DOWN 925MB WINDS OF 30 TO 40 KNOTS. .LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY ISSUED AT 411 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2014 MEAN FLOW TO CONSIST OF UPR RDGS OVER THE ERN PACIFIC AND EXTENDING FROM NRN MEXICO EWD ALL THE WAY TO BERMUDA...ALONG WITH AN EWD MOVING SHORTWAVE TROF ACROSS THE NRN TIER OF STATES. PCPN CHCS INITIALLY TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A MCS PUSHING MAINLY TO OUR SOUTH MID-WEEK AND THEN WITH THE APPROACH OF THE SHORTWAVE TROF FOR THE LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEKEND. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD. THE FAST EWD MOVEMENT OF A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROF...COUPLED WITH A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED OVER CNTRL SECTIONS OF IA AND IL... WL SET THE STAGE FOR A POTENTIAL MCS DEVELOPMENT TUE NGT. NAM AND SREF CONT TO TRACK THIS MCS FARTHER NORTH THAN OTHER MDLS AND BASED ON THE LATEST CORFIDI VECTORS...THIS MCS SHOULD TRACK EITHER DUE EAST OR JUST SOUTH OF DUE EAST ACROSS IA AND IL. THE NRN EDGE OF THE PCPN SHIELD WL MOVE ACROSS SRN WI...BUT MAY BE CLOSE ENUF TO WARRANT THE NEED FOR A SMALL POP FOR OUR SRN COUNTIES. THE REST OF NE WI TO SEE MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH MIN TEMPS RANGING FROM THE UPR 40S TO MID 50S. THIS MCS WOULD CONT TO TRACK E-SE INTO INDIANA/OHIO ON WED WITH ITS NRN PERIPHERY OF SHWRS/TSTMS PUSHING ACROSS SRN SECTIONS OF WI AND LWR MI. AS THIS IS ONGOING...THE SRN EXTENSION OF AN AREA OF HI PRES OVER HUDSON BAY IS EXPECTED TO DROP SOUTH INTO THE WRN GREAT LAKES. STILL HAVE TO WATCH OUR SRN TIER OF COUNTIES FOR PCPN POTENTIAL...BUT BELIEVE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE SHWRS/TSTMS WL SLIDE BY JUST TO OUR SOUTH. MORE CLOUDS SOUTH/MORE SUN NORTH SHOULD TRANSLATE TO FAIRLY UNIFORM TEMPS OVER THE AREA WITH READINGS GENERALLY AROUND 70 DEGS (COOLER LAKESIDE). THIS SFC RDG AXIS WL CONT TO EXTEND FROM HUDSON BAY TO WI WED NGT ALONG WITH THE APPROACH OF A WEAK UPR RDG. MORE OF A WIDESPREAD PARTLY CLOUDY SKY CONDITION...COUPLED WITH MODEST NE WINDS...WL BRING A COOLER NGT TO THE REGION. LOOK FOR MIN TEMPS IN THE LWR TO MID 40S NORTH...UPR 40S TO LWR 50S CNTRL/E-CNTRL WI. THIS HUDSON BAY HI PRES IS NOT EXPECTED TO MVOE MUCH THRU THU...ALTHO IT WL BE UNDER A LITTLE DURESS FROM A WRMFNT MOVING ACROSS THE UPR MS VALLEY AND INCREASING ISEN LIFT. BELIEVE ENUF DRY AIR TO BE IN PLACE ACROSS NE WI TO HOLD OFF ON ANY POTENTIAL PCPN FOR THU...THUS A DRY FCST WAS LEFT INTACT. THE COOL START TO THE DAY WL LIKELY BRING THE COOLEST MAX TEMP OF THE WEEK WITH READINGS MAINLY IN THE UPR 60S. THE DRY FCST LOOKS TO CONT THRU AT LEAST FRI AS A BROAD SHORTWAVE TROF ENTERS THE ROCKIES AND A DOWNSTREAM MODEST UPR RDG BUILDS OVER THE E-CNTRL CONUS. THIS UPR RDG TO ADD SUBSIDENCE OVER WI ALONG WITH THE PERSISTENT SFC RDG JUST TO OUR EAST...THUS EVEN WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE WRMFNT AND A CDFNT MOVING INTO THE UPR MS VALLEY...ANY PCPN SHOULD STAY NORTH OR WEST OF NE WI. MAX TEMPS ON FRI SHOULD BE ABLE TO REBOUND WITH THE HELP OF MODEST WAA...AS READINGS WARM INTO THE 70S. PCPN CHCS WL BEGIN TO INCREASE BY NEXT SAT AS THIS SHORTWAVE TROF SWINGS THRU THE UPR MS VALLEY/MIDWEST AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE GREAT LAKES. WHILE THE MDLS DO DIFFER WITH RESPECT TO THE LOCATION/ STRENGTH OF THE ACCOMPANYING SFC LOW...PLENTY OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE...INSTABILITY AND MID-LEVEL FORCING IN THE VICINITY TO JUSTIFY THE NEED FOR POPS BASICALLY FROM SAT AFTERNOON THRU AT LEAST SUNDAY MORNING. && .AVIATION...FOR 12Z TAF ISSUANCE ISSUED AT 614 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2014 PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TODAY. VERY MOIST AIR WILL ALSO PRODUCE AREAS OF IFR CEILINGS...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH. THE ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING OVER MUCH OF THE REGION THOUGH THERE WILL BE SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUING IN THE NORTH THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
