What forecasters said that day

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

NWS Gaylord, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Nov 17, 5:05 AM EST, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 17, 5:05 AM EST, 1 hour 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
505 AM EST Sat Nov 17 2018

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 306 AM EST Sat Nov 17 2018

High impact weather potential: More light snow leading to slippery
travel conditions.

Pattern synopsis and forecast:

Lake effect snows were starting to redevelop/get their act back
together after getting disrupted by last night's cold frontal
passage. The cold low level NW flow was cyclonic within a highly
sufficient delta t environment, while also starting to tap into the
better lake convection coming off Lake Superior. We were also seeing
some higher level clouds from an upstream shortwave, working across
Lake Michigan. The deeper moisture was still out to our west, and
the track of this system appears to be further south than previously
anticipated. Further out west, in South Central Canada and into the
Dakotas, was a large expanse of sfc high pressure and relatively
drier air.

Most of the weather through tonight will occur this morning. The
cold low level flow will gradually become more unidirectional.
tapping into the aforementioned better lake convection from Lake
Superior. This all occurs while the deeper system moisture
increases. Despite most/if not all of the nrn fringe warm advection
light snows missing the GTV Bay region to the south, there is still
some degree of expectation to energize developing snows over the
Bay. Fcst soundings show that the mid level dry air shrinks to 5kft
or less to deliver at least a little feeding to lake effect. Doubt
the impact is going to be all that great, per latest hi-res QPF
guidance that is slightly less than seen in previous data sets.

Most all of this occurs this morning, before inversion heights
decrease from roughly 7kft to 5kft and the development of near sfc
layer drier air. Lake effect will diminish in intensity and
coverage. This process continues through tonight as the upstream
high pressure and even drier air start working into the area,
largely northern lower Michigan. One minor exception may be for
Chippewa county in eastern upper. Another weak shortwave is figured
to cross there tonight, possibly providing an slight uptick in lake
effect. Low level winds will be backing with time, pushing snows
north of the county.

Total snows today, 1-2 inches across Chippewa county and the GTV
Bay, with under an inch tonight. Highs will be in the upper 20s to
lower 30s and lows tonight in the teens to low 20s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Sunday through Monday)
Issued at 306 AM EST Sat Nov 17 2018

High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal.

Low amplitude troughing continues over the eastern two thirds of the
CONUS with a persistent ridge in the west. On Sunday a subtle
shortwave trough crosses through Ontario, spinning up a surface
reflection over the northern plains. There is some discrepancy in
forecast wind direction out of the west or southwest, so just have
low pops near the tip of the Mitt Sunday morning. Drier air presses
into the region from the northwest, bringing a brief reduction in
snow chances through the day Sunday. Clouds thin out during the day,
with highs hovering a degree of so on either side of 30. As the
Ontario shortwave pushes east it will drag a gradually weakening
cold front through nrn Michigan through Sunday night. Profiles
moisten up from the top down heading into Monday as low level winds
switch around to the southwest. A surface low will slide east out of
the northern Plains into the upper Great Lakes, providing synoptic
support for snow showers. RH in the lowest levels stay at least 90%,
and overlake instability increases through the day as delta-T's
increase to 18 C in the evening. This increases pops for Monday,
although snow totals don't look too impressive.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Friday)
Issued at 306 AM EST Sat Nov 17 2018

Forecast concerns: Minimal.

General troughing remains over the Great Lakes region through
midweek. Another reinforcing shot of air comes Tuesday behind a cold
front. This front looks to stall out to our south Tuesday and return
northward as a warm front Wednesday, starting a warming trend in the
low levels. 850 temperatures start to climb quite a bit starting
early Wednesday morning...and rebound up above the freezing mark by
Thanksgiving day, which could very well be quiet with highs finally
above freezing. Late week highs return to near normal for mid-
November, with chances of rain mixing in with the snow on Friday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning)
Issued at 459 AM EST Sat Nov 17 2018

Cold conditions will lead to continued periods of lake effect snow
across mainly the NW lower airports. These snow showers will
gradually impact TVC/PLN through daybreak, but they will sink
southward and impact TVC/MBL through the morning daylight hours.
MVFR CIGS with periodic IFR CIGS/VSBYS anticipated this morning.
Lake effect snows will diminish in coverage and intensity through
tonight, as higher pressure and increasingly drier air arrive and
send conditions to low end VFR.

NW winds generally around 10 knots will swing around to out of the
WSW late in the TAF. Maybe even a little gusty near PLN toward
daybreak.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 306 AM EST Sat Nov 17 2018

High pressure from the Dakotas will drop into the Central and
Southern Plains today through Sunday night. Current gusty advisory
level winds are expected to diminish through this morning. Will have
several areas that will be able to fall out of the headlines, but
now there are hints that several nearshore waters will see a return
to advisory gusts starting as early as late tonight, with all areas
seeing advisory gusts Sunday. This is due to the pressure gradient
re-tightening out ahead of a cold front that arrives Sunday night
into Monday morning.
