What forecasters said that day

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

NWS Northern Indiana wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill advisory went out at Jan 4, 1:01 AM EST, 3 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 4, 1:01 AM EST, 3 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
101 AM EST Thu Jan 4 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1248 AM EST Wed Jan 4 2018

Lake effect snow showers will continue overnight and persist into
the weekend as a cold arctic airmass remains planted over the
Upper Great Lakes. Expect several inches of snow to the areas
inland of Lake Michigan, along with cold temperatures. Wind chill
temperatures will remain below zero into Saturday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Friday)
Issued at 244 PM EST Wed Jan 3 2018

Sw trough aloft crossing the lakes this aftn yielding a swatch of
light snow along and ahead of frontal wind shift. Post frontal cold
advection already spreading quickly into sw MI/nw IN and denoted in
rapid cellular convective development off the lake. Earlier
enhancement from sw trough exiting but already several 3-4" inch
snow reports from Berrien county. In addition banding already
observed farther north toward Muskegon with heavy snow showers noted
on the wrn MI shoreline.

12Z highres model suite similar in scope to prior 06/00Z cycles
albeit with typical details differences. Lake aggregate low level
thermal trough in the process of rapidly deepening attm and lake
based moisture flux along with steadily intensifying vertical motion
plume will lead to an intense single band this evening setting up
from Berrien south into Marshall overnight. Deep n/nwrly fetch is
augmented with lake Superior moisture tap and in contrast to
yesterday expect heavy snowfall rates of 2"/hr will develop toward
midnight versus Thu morning as evident in upticking qpf fields. Thus
it seems prudent with this fcst cycle to upgrade Berrien-Cass south
through Laporte-St. Joe to a warning. Otherwise inland reach remains
perplexing as srn extension of primary band will be wavy/transient
yet still bring 1"/hr snow rates into nrn Marshall Thu
morning/Kosciusko Thu aftn and likely ewd into Lagrange/Noble Thu
night. Will add Marshall at this point to the advisory but defer the
rest with as yet too much uncertainty exists on primary band
placement/duration.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 244 PM EST Wed Jan 3 2018

Secondary sw will round through base of deep east Canada rooted
upper trough Fri night. This will allow for some resurgence in more
multi-cellular lake banding Fri aftn especially considering nearly
full axis lake Michigan nrly flow. Blended pops both Fri night/Sat
morning woefully underdone and more aligned with SREF based
guidance based on decent model based consensus of primary band
redevelopment. Will pass on extending headlines for Fri night in
lieu of later model guidance but certainly additional heavy snow
possible.

Thereafter ern trough briefly relaxes as strong pacific sw breaks
down wrn ridge... amplifying through the TN valley late Sunday. Like
yesterday prefer more subdued look across the OH valley given
progressive/open trough aloft and lackluster sfc development. Strong
Gomex influx ahead of this wave will curtail nwd reach of better
moisture transport as well as limit low level warm nose extent. Thus
again it would appear a snow event of several inches for most.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night)
Issued at 1248 AM EST Thu Jan 4 2018

Lake effect snow showers to likely continue to bring IFR
visibilities at times through late morning hours. Some indications
that primary lake effect focus may then shift temporarily to the
west of KSBN for the afternoon and provided more optimistic
conditions towards end of forecast period. Primarily VFR at KFWA
though brief incursions of weaker peripheral lake effect bands
likely, especially now til midday.
