THE REGION. A STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL BECOME RE-ESTABLISHED OVER

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

Area forecast discussion, Jan 10, 9:46 AM EST, 13 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
946 AM EST Tue Jan 10 2017

.UPDATE...

Winter Weather Advisory will be expiring on schedule this morning as
ptype transition through sleet/fzra to rain is occuring on schedule.
Focus for this afternoon will be on wind potential. High Wind Watch
still looks good based on latest data. Surface low over Iowa is
progged to deepen at a rate of about 1mb/hr for the next 12 hours,
reaching 980mb just north of the straits. Wind field will be very
strong, with the NAM/RAP modeling nearly 90kts at 850mb. Common
ingredient often missing in potential high wind scenarios is dynamic
forcing. However, ARW/RAP/EC all indicating very strong isentropic
descent associated with incoming cold advection. Continue to shy
away from NAM/NMM due to terrible handling of the surface layer due
to snowpack and resultant erroneously high boundary layer stability.
High wind warning criteria of 50kts reasonably attainable within the
frontal zone itself followed by either warning or high-end advisory
thereafter. In addition, convective showers leading the front will
provide another mechanism by which warning criteria may be reached.
Plan to hang on to the high wind watch until aftn package.
