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 Feb 12, 2:51 PM EST, 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 2:51 PM EST, 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Marquette MI 251 PM EST Mon Feb 12 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 236 PM EST MON FEB 12 2018 Upper air pattern consists of a 500 mb trough and closed low in the western U.S. this morning and a broad 500 mb trough across central and eastern Canada down into the Great Lakes region and a ridge off the se coast. The ridge moves into the Gulf of Mexico 00z Wed with the trough in the western U.S. and a shortwave in the northern and central plains. This shortwave will kick off some light snow across the northern and eastern cwa on Tue with some help from Lake Michigan and Lake Superior and have some low chance pops for this possibility. Lake effect snow will slowly come to an end late this afternoon across the west as inversion heights continue to fall. Did lower low temperatures a bit tonight with clear skies and light winds to start the evening off with good radiational cooling taking place. High clouds do not come in until late tonight, so this would allow lows to drop below the coldest guidance available. Otherwise, no big changes to the going forecast. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 251 PM EST MON FEB 12 2018 Overall, temperatures through the extended will be on a roller coaster as a couple of cold fronts push eastward across the region later this week through early next week. Ahead of these fronts, temperatures will warm nicely as return flow advects into the region - especially on Wednesday. Precipitation chances will remain slim through the middle of the week, but upon and after the arrival of the first cold front later this week snow showers will return with better chances downwind of Lake Superior. Wednesday through Friday: A cooling trend will be observed through this time period, with Wednesday being the warmest day of the week as temperatures warm into the mid 30s to lower 40s. Given the ice cover over the Great Lakes, if the synoptic-scale flow is strong enough to hold off any lake breezes during the afternoon, downsloping winds along across the north central may allow temperatures to warm even more. However, if onshore flow does develop in the afternoon, colder air from over the lake will push onshore and allow for cooler temperatures near the lakeshore. By Friday, the above mentioned cold front will push southeast across the area and push temperatures back down into the teens. Precipitation chances should hold off until the cold front arrives early Thursday. Initially 850mb temperatures are not progged to drop dramatically; therefore, we could see a brief bout of drizzle and freezing drizzle before better chances for lake effect snow develop late Thursday through Friday across the northwest to west wind snow belts. Where the lake effect snow will impact areas near Lake Superior will be highly dependent on ice coverage and where any leads develop over the next few days. Saturday through Monday: Numerous shortwaves are progged to track across the region this weekend into early next week. Ahead of these waves, temperatures will warm up into the 30s by the end of the weekend, but as another cold front pushes east across the area temperatures should drop back down next week. Precipitation chances during this time period will be highly dependent on the track and speed of these systems tracking across the region. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1222 PM EST MON FEB 12 2018 Lake effect MVFR cigs and a few snow showers at KCMX will give way to clearing late this afternoon with VFR conditions by mid to late morning. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail through the rest of the forecast period. && .MARINE...(For the 4 PM Lake Superior forecast issuance) Issued at 236 PM EST MON FEB 12 2018 Southwest gales to 35 knots are expected late Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night across central and eastern Lake Superior. These will be the strongest winds for this forecast period with several other periods getting up to 30 knots, but staying below gales though. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Upper Michigan...
