What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Marquette, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Dec 27, 6:55 PM EST, 1 hour 55 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 27, 6:55 PM EST, 1 hour 55 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Marquette MI
655 PM EST Tue Dec 27 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 347 PM EST TUE DEC 27 2016

Moderate to heavy lake effect snow showers for the northwest wind
snow belts will continue into this evening with several more inches
of additional accumulation but expect a sharp diminishing trend from
the west toward evening as ridging and subsidence works into the
area. As for now, ongoing lake effect snow advisories still look on
track at least through the evening. The les will linger the longest
over the eastern counties as winds won't back sw there until late
tonight allowing the les to finally push offshore.

Backing flow and subsidence with ridge moving in tonight will also
result in a period of clearing at least over the interior west half.
Decided to go on the lower end of model guidance over the interior
west half, following closely the high-res Canadian model for min
temps which suggest some of the interior cold spots could dip near
0F later this evening/early overnight before waa clouds spreading in
ahead of next system moving in from the Northern Plains will level
off falling temps and maybe allow them to go up a few degrees.

With the better dynamics from Plains shortwave and track of the
associated sfc low staying well north into Ontario, not expecting
much in way of snow accumulation on Wed from this system. Best
chance of measurable snow will be far north and east where
isentropic ascent will be maximized, but even so, accumulation
should only be an inch or less.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 322 PM EST TUE DEC 27 2016

Nam shows a 500 mb trough over the northern plains 00z Thu which
deepens as it moves into the upper Great Lakes Wed night and digs
into the ern U.S. Thu into Thu night. Lake effect will continue this
forecast period with highest pops in westerly and northwesterly lake
effect snow belts. Overall, did not make too many changes to the
going forecast.

In the extended, GFS and ECMWF show a 500 mb trough over the upper
Great Lakes 12z Sat with 850 mb temperatures down to -11C to -13C at
that time across Lake Superior. Upper flow becomes more zonal with
time 12z Sun with sfc high pressure over the area then. Troughing
moves into the Rockies 12z Mon. This trough moves into upper Great
Lakes 12z Tue with a closed low that develops on Tue. There is some
colder air behind this system that moves into the northern plains
12z Tue. Temperatures go from near to slightly above normal this
forecast period to below normal by Tue as a piece of cold air moves
into the area.
&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 654 PM EST TUE DEC 27 2016

As winds back tonight with the passage of a sfc high pres ridge,
lake effect clouds/shsn off Lake Superior will lift n. Already,
clearing has reached KIWD, and VFR conditions will continue there
tonight. At KSAW, ocnl flurries and bkn cigs around 3500ft should
clear out by late evening. At KCMX, IFR vis/MVFR cigs should give
way to VFR conditions in the 06-09z time frame. On Wed, low-level
moisture and MVFR cigs will return as a disturbance moves into the
Upper Great Lakes.
&&

.MARINE...(For the 4 PM Lake Superior forecast issuance)
Issued at 347 PM EST TUE DEC 27 2016

As the ridge axis passes across the lake tonight, winds will
diminish to under 20 kts and back to the sw. These sw winds will
increase up to 30 kts on Wed ahead of the next clipper system moving
thru Ontario. Expect a wind shift to the nw and more gales to 35 kts
mainly over the east half of Lake Superior on Thu into Thu night
under the tighter gradient/increasing instability behind the
attendant cold frontal passage. Winds will then diminish under 25
kts from Fri into Sun with a trailing hi pres ridge tracking thru
the Great Lakes.
