What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Duluth, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Mar 5, 11:25 PM CST, 5 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 5, 11:25 PM CST, 5 hours before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 1125 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 822 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017 Some fog has formed at the head of Lake Superior and have added a mention. Made an adjustment to the pops Monday morning to reflect latest short term hires models which hold off on greater coverage of rain until at least mid morning. Rest of the forecast on track. UPDATE Issued at 639 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017 Plenty of cloud cover over the forecast area this evening. Low level moisture has been on the increase through the day as surface dewpoints have reached the lower 40s around the Brainerd Lakes, 30s elsewhere. Weak area of upper level ridging over the region and a lack of forcing has kept drizzle from forming. Not expecting any drizzle or showers developing until after midnight when better forcing arrives. Have adjust accordingly and made some other minor adjustments. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 341 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017 An active pattern will set up over the Northland tonight, and especially Monday. For tonight, a moist boundary layer is expected to develop later this evening, with an unseasonably warm air mass situated overhead. Model soundings are indicating a shallow, but slowly deepening, moist layer near the sfc, so drizzle is possible, but shouldn't develop into freezing drizzle due to temperatures expected to stay above freezing overnight. Due to the moist air in place, some areas of fog are possible tonight, especially over northwest Wisconsin and adjoining areas of Minnesota and along the North Shore. Some uncertainty does exist with the fog due to the potential of gusty winds overnight, enhancing boundary layer mixing. However, dew point depressions look favorable for some fog development. No dense fog is expected, but could drop as low as one- half of a mile in some spots. A mid- to upper-level system is expected to advance over the Northland after dawn Monday morning. Moisture transport should be enhanced, thanks to an influx of Gulf moisture due to southerly flow as indicated by sfc streamlines and strong southerly 850 mb level winds of 50+ kts. One thing to be aware of is the marginal potential for severe weather over portions of the Northland Monday. The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk south of a line from Pine Center to Duluth to Winter. While instability looks to be a limiting factor, with MUCAPE values generally up to a few hundred J/kg, synoptic guidance has 0-6 km bulk shear values generally between 40 and 50 knots across the area, with some higher values possible across the Marginal Risk area. Damaging winds appear to be the most likely hazard, with perhaps some isolated large hail, if any severe thunderstorms do develop. POPs will steadily increase through the morning hours, and reach their highest values Monday afternoon and evening. Rainfall amounts with this system have steadily increased for the past few days, with current forecast values through Tuesday morning ranging from one- tenth in our southwestern counties, up to one-half inch across our eastern forecast area, and the highest amounts likely along the North Shore. Temperatures Monday will still be well above seasonal normals, with highs Monday expected to be in the 50s for most places. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 341 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017 By Monday evening, the surface low will be in far southern Manitoba and almost straddling the International Border while the cold front will be entering western Minnesota. This front will provide the necessary lift to produce thunderstorms as it moves east across the Gopher state and into Wisconsin about midnight. With very strong frontal forcing and extreme warm air advection, expect numerous showers. Thunderstorms will be possible too with some pretty good instability for early March with this robust system. MUCAPEs forecast to be in the 500 to 600 j/kg range. Intense winds with this low will create strong wind shear with the Bulk Richardson shear 60 to 70 kts, but with little turning, the chances of rotating storms are low. Winds will be very strong behind the front with low level winds up to 45 kts easily transported to the surface. Will need to monitor for possible wind advisory. The cold front will be east of the Northland by midnight Tuesday. Cold air filtering into the region behind the low will change any precipitation to snow from west to east. By 12Z Tuesday, 8h temps will range from -9C to -14C and the cold air will continue to seep into the region through Wednesday when the coldest air of -17C to -23C for the period will be over the forecast area. But after that cold shot, we are looking at a more mild Pacific flow pattern with embedded shortwaves that may produce a few showers. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1125 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017 The frontal boundary that was near BRD earlier this evening, has dropped southward and is now near the Twin Cities. Plenty of low level moisture continues to stream over all terminals except INL. Will see a mix of MVFR/VFR cigs through much of the forecast until the cold front reaches the BRD/INL area after 00Z. Models are having a difficult time resolving the onset of showers and thunderstorms. Went with the short term hires models for placement in TAFs. VFR is expected in the vicinity of the storms. Gusty winds are forecast by mid morning at all terminals and will last through the forecast. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
