What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill warning went out at Jan 15, 10:20 AM EST, 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 15, 10:20 AM EST, 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
1020 AM EST THU JAN 15 2009
.UPDATE...
THIS MORNINGS MINS WERE PREDOMINATELY IN THE 5 TO 15 BELOW ZERO
RANGE ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. FORTUNATELY...WINDS ARE
LIGHT/CALM...RESULTING IN 5 TO 15 BELOW WIND CHILLS AT THE PRESENT
TIME. ARCTIC HIGH TO SETTLE OVER THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY
TONIGHT...WITH THE LOW LEVEL FLOW OVER SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN
BECOMING A BIT MORE WESTERLY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR LOW CLOUDS TO
PUSH EAST THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...ALONG WITH SOME SNOW
SHOWERS (POSSIBLE I-94 BAND SETTING UP).
WITH THE AMOUNT OF DRY AIR (AS SEEN IN THE SURFACE DEW POINTS/12Z
RAOBS) ACROSS SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN AND ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES...THINKING THE 12Z NAM IS A BIT TOO MOIST AT 925/850 MB...AND
SUBSEQUENTLY A BIT TOO WARM AT THE SURFACE...AS THE SURFACE TEMPS
ARE FORECASTED TO STAY ABOVE ZERO NORTH OF I-94. THINKING MINS WILL
BE AROUND -5...WITH -10 DEGREES NEAR THE OHIO BORDER...CLOSER TO THE
ARCTIC HIGH AND SOUTH OF THE POTENTIAL LAKE BAND SETTING UP. BASED
ON THE EXPECTED 10 TO 15 MPH WINDS...LOOKING AT WIND CHILLS IN THE
25 TO 30 BELOW RANGE SOUTH OF I-94...WITH 15 TO 25 BELOW NORTH OF
I-94. HAVE THUS GONE AHEAD AND UPGRADED LENAWEE/MONROE COUNTIES TO A
WARNING...WITH AN ADVISORY ELSEWHERE THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. STILL
QUESTIONS TOMORROW EVENING/NIGHT AS THE HIGH BEGINS TO WEAKEN...BUT
THE RIDGE AXIS IS STILL ON TOP OF THE CWA DURING THE EVENING...WITH
POTENTIAL WARM ADVECTION HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING IN OVERNIGHT AS WELL
TO COMPLICATE MATTERS FURTHER.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 600 AM EST THU JAN 15 2009
AVIATION...
THE FORECAST WILL START WITH VFR CONDITIONS AND THEY WILL PERSIST
INTO THE AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH LOWER VFR CEILINGS AROUND 3500 FEET
WILL DEVELOP AS LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS/SNOW SHOWERS BEGIN WORKING INTO
THE AREA FROM SOUTHWEST LOWER. MVFR CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP AS THIS
ACTIVITY PEAKS THIS AFTERNOON...AND CEILINGS WILL REMAIN ON THE CUSP
OF MVFR/VFR AT LEAST AT TIMES INTO TONIGHT AS GENERAL WESTERLY FLOW
CONTINUES TO FUNNEL LAKE STRATUS ACROSS INTO THE REGION. WILL FOCUS
THE MOST PESSIMISTIC FORECAST AT KDTW/KDET AS HIGHER RESOLUTION
MODELS FAVOR THE MOST CONSOLIDATED LAKE EFFECT BANDING ALONG THE I
94 CORRIDOR DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.
PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 349 AM EST THU JAN 15 2009
SHORT TERM...TODAY
TEMPERATURES ARE TAKING LONGER TO FALL OFF EARLY THIS MORNING DUE TO
A BIT MORE WIND (WEST/NORTHWEST @ 5 MPH). STILL...LOWER SINGLE DIGIT
READINGS ARE STEADILY BEING REPLACED BY NEGATIVE NUMBERS. THINK WE
WILL START OUT GENERALLY AROUND -5F THIS MORNING...WITH THE READINGS
CLOSER TO ZERO IN THE URBAN HEART OF METRO DETROIT. WITH THE WEST
WINDS REMAINING AROUND 5 MPH...THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE
WIND CHILLS AOB -15F AT TIMES...AND WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY THE WIND
CHILL ADVISORY TODAY.
ASIDE FROM A PASSING FLURRY OVER THE THUMB THIS MORNING...EXPECT
PARTLY/MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES UNTIL THE AFTERNOON. BY THAT
TIME...TROUGHING WILL GRADUALLY BE TURNING THE PREVAILING
NORTHWEST FLOW MORE TO THE WEST WHICH WILL BRING INCREASING CLOUDS
AND SNOW SHOWERS FROM LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY OFF OF LAKE MICHIGAN.
THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE AFTER 3 PM...BUT WILL CARRY A MENTION
OF SNOW SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. THE MOST PERSISTENT LAKE
EFFECT BANDING LOOKS TO SET UP IN THE I 94/I 696 CORRIDOR BY LATE
AFTERNOON SO WILL MAINTAIN THE ACCUMULATIONS OF NEAR AN INCH IN
THE GRIDS.
WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT MAKE ADJUSTMENT TO THE WIND CHILL WATCH THAT
STARTS THIS EVENING. INITIAL INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE WESTERLY FLOW
WILL BRING ENOUGH CLOUDS/SNOW SHOWERS TO KEEP TEMPERATURES UP A BIT
SO WIND CHILL READINGS WILL PROBABLY HOLD UNDER WIND CHILL WARNING
CRITERION (-25F). A BETTER FEEL FOR CLOUD CONDITIONS SHOULD DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON AS LAKE EFFECT BANDING BECOMES ESTABLISHED. AT A
MINIMUM...EXPECT WIND CHILL READINGS TO BOUNCE AROUND -15F SO AN
EVENTUAL EXTENSION OF THE CURRENT ADVISORY IS A GIVEN AT LEAST.
LONG TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY
ARCTIC BLAST OF COLD AIR REMAINS FIRMLY OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE
END OF THE WORK WEEK. BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER LOWER
MICHIGAN WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY THROUGH FRIDAY. LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS OFF OF
LAKE MICHIGAN WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT NORTH FROM THE M-59 CORRIDOR
TOWARDS THE FLINT AREA AS WINDS OVER NORTHERN INDIANA TAKE ON A
SOUTHWESTERLY COMPONENT. SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE
IN THE FORECAST INTO FRIDAY MORNING WHEN EVEN 850MB MOISTURE FINALLY
STRIPS AWAY. WESTERLY WINDS WILL AVERAGE AROUND 10 MPH THROUGH
FRIDAY AND COMBINE WITH SUB ZERO LOWS TO PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES
OF -15 TO -25 AT TIMES. THE WIND CHILL WATCH WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE
CONVERTED TO AN ADVISORY THROUGH AT LEAST TONIGHT...WITH LIGHTER
WINDS EXPECTED BY FRIDAY NIGHT.
THE ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN CONTINUES INTO THIS WEEKEND WITH
ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW. MODELS ALL SHOW ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM
MOVING THROUGH THE REGION ALTHOUGH WITH QUITE A BIT OF SPREAD AND
POOR RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY REGARDING THE TRACK. BY 12Z FRIDAY THE
GFS IS A WEAK OUTLIER WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE NEXT SHORTWAVE MOVING
AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE IN NORTHERN ALBERTA. THE NAM IS THE STRONGEST
WITH THIS FEATURE BY 12Z SATURDAY BUT MAY BE TOO WEAK WITH THE NEXT
SHORTWAVE DIVING SOUTH FROM THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES ON ITS HEELS.
WILL LEAN THE FORECAST TOWARDS A BLEND OF THE 00Z/12Z ECMWF FROM THE
14TH WHICH LETS THE SURFACE LOW DIG SOUTH INTO IOWA BEFORE LIFTING
BACK UP INTO LOWER MICHIGAN. DESPITE THE DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AND
TRACK...THE NAM/GFS/ECMWF ALL GIVE A 24 HOUR QPF TOTAL ON THE ORDER
OF .17 TO .33. SOME AIRMASS MODIFICATION WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF THIS
WAVE BUT HIGH SNOW RATIOS ARE STILL EXPECTED WITH 1000-850MB
THICKNESSES REMAINING BELOW 1250M FOR MOST OF THE EVENT. THIS
SUPPORTS ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 5 INCHES FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A FEW LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. IF A
STRONGER SURFACE LOW IN LINE WITH THE 00Z/15 ECMWF PANS OUT THAN
SOME LOCATIONS MAY APPROACH LOW END WARNING CRITERIA SNOW.
MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT THE HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN WILL FINALLY BREAK DOWN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...BRINGING AT LEAST A COUPLE DAYS OF NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL WARMER TEMPERATURES BY WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY. THIS
MODIFICATION BEGINS BEHIND THE SATURDAY SYSTEM WITH SUBSEQUENT
SHORTWAVES AND THE BUILDING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO OUR WEST HELPING
TO USHER IN A WARMER AIRMASS. CONFIDENCE IS BELOW NORMAL IN TRYING TO
TIME ADDITIONAL CHANCES OF SNOW ALONG THE WARM FRONT INTO THE
FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.
MARINE...
EVEN WITH ENHANCED NORTHWEST WINDS FROM INFLOW INTO THE CONVERGENCE
ZONE ASSOCIATED WITH A MASSIVE LAKE EFFECT BAND OFFSHORE...WINDS ARE
BELOW SMALL CRAFT/BRISK WIND ADVISORY LEVELS...GENERALLY RANGE 10-15
KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 20. WITH THE BAND STEADY...OR DRIFTING SLOWLY TO
THE EAST...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO REMAIN THE SAME SO WILL NOT ISSUE
ADDITIONAL ADVISORIES ALONG THE NEARSHORE WATERS. HOWEVER...WILL
KEEP THE ADVISORY FROM OUTER SAGINAW BAY TO HARBOR BEACH AS THESE
WINDS WILL LIKELY BE CREATING WAVES PUSHING THE 3 TO 5 FOOT RANGE.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN LATE TODAY INTO TONIGHT AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS DUE TO THERMAL TROUGHING DEVELOPING
OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND STRONG ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS
THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO VALLEYS. WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 30
KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE THURS NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WITH THIS
GRADIENT AND GOOD MIXING OF THE SHALLOW ARCTIC AIR OVER THE LAKE
SURFACE. THE GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN ON SATURDAY BEFORE LOW PRESSURE
TRACKS ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES...CAUSING WINDS TO BECOME
EASTERLY BY SATURDAY NIGHT.
