Description:

On August 6, 1986 between 1700 and 2000 OTC (noon and 3:00 p.m. COT) warm topped convection spilled six inches of rain onto downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The subsequent flash flood resulted in one fatality and nearly $30,000,000 in damage.

This study forwards the hypothesis that pattern recognition could have been used based on the National Meteorological Center's (NMC) numerical models to call attention to the possibility of heavy rain somewhere in the lower Great lakes region.
