What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this blizzard warning 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 blizzard warning went out at Feb 7, 4:22 AM EST, 28 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 7, 4:22 AM EST, 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 422 AM EST Thu Feb 7 2019 .NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight) Issued at 421 AM EST Thu Feb 7 2019 ...Major Wintry Mix Precipitation Storm... High Impact Weather Potential...Freezing rain to possibly exceed 0.25" in portions of N Lower. The rest of N Lower and E Upper receiving in excess of 0.10" of freezing rain. Then Snow and blowing snow, especially in the wake of the low in E Upper where blizzard conditions are likely. Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Patchy drizzle/light rain over sfc temperatures this morning that are all sub freezing continues this morning. So far, this seem to not have accreted much over the region so far. However, this will change over the morning as the low pressure in the S Plains is heading into the Mid-Mississippi Valley and will continue up into N/C Lower by 00z/Fri. Mid level warm air will invade the region by 15z/Thu, which will set up FZDZ/FZRA over the region as the sfc temperatures are expected to break the freezing mark until around 18z/Thu along M-55, and some areas not until almost 20z/Thu. The sfc low continues into E Upper and is NE of ANJ by 06z/Fri. Winds switch around to the NW and with the still developing sfc low, producing a tight pressure gradient that will produce wind gusts of 35 mph, and LES. This is looking more likely that Blizzard conditions near Lake Superior and Whitefish Bay are possible through 12z/Fri, at the least. Primary Forecast Concerns...Icing...There will be ice with this system as the warm nose moves north into the forecast area, and produces rain, and falls into the sub freezing sfc temperatures. timing this morning still looks good as the next slug of moisture just now getting into Chicago will be to MBL around 14z and GLR around 16z. Concern is if the warmer sfc air moves faster, as this system looks to have some convective elements in it, that some of the mixing could bring the warmer air to the sfc. That would shorten the time of the icing. However, with the models in good consensus, and the cold air that is entrenched up north, will expect the current timing to be good. Winds and blowing snow...This is beginning to be a little more worrisome. As the LES gets going, the winds pick up. Winds on the model soundings in E Upper and portions of NW Lower are showing frequent gusts to around 30knots. This is around 35 mph. While collaborating with MQT, decided to put a blizzard warning out for tonight in E Upper with the deepening low moving off to the NE. However, am a bit concerned that blizzard criteria may be met in portions of NW Lower this evening or late this afternoon as the low moves through and the winds switch around to the NW. When we has the W flow LES event during our cold air outbreak, wind gusts didn't get to criteria, but everything else did. So the concern is that with this low that the winds will gust past 35 mph for 3 hours or so. This will be talked about with the oncoming shift to evaluate, after the ice has passed. && .SHORT TERM...(Friday through Saturday) Issued at 421 AM EST Thu Feb 7 2019 High Impact Weather Potential: Moderate - High Primary Forecast Concerns/Challenges: Winds with blowing snow Friday. Accumulating lake effect in Northwest flow belts Cold advection will be in full force early Friday morning as Canadian air is drug in from the northwest behind the departing system. Lake enhanced snow will slowly become pure lake effect as support from the system pulls off to the northeast, and H850 temperatures drop below -20 C. Inversion heights remain around 4 kft, giving moderate support for snowfall intensity, although profiles will be quite a bit colder than the prime DGZ. This may limit flake size and resultant accumulations some. However winds will still be a concern. The surface low will still be strengthening as it crosses the Ontario/Quebec border, making the pressure gradient over us slow to weaken. Winds will continue gusting to near 30 through at least the morning hours, before slowly diminishing through the afternoon. Winds near the top of the boundary layer reach the low 40s through mid-day for many areas, so isolated stronger gusts than what's currently forecasted can not be ruled out. Winds very slowly veer from WNW to more NW through the day, targeting areas in the typical northwest flow belts with a general 3 to 5 inches through the day into the evening hours. Upper level riding moves in Saturday, with high pressure nudging in at the surface. Forecast profiles dry out, with only remnant low level moisture left. This will support light flurries through the morning hours. Temperatures both days will be a good 10 to 15 degrees below normal for early February, with highs mainly in the mid and upper teens. && .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday) Issued at 421 AM EST Thu Feb 7 2019 High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal Primary Forecast Concerns/Challenges: Minimal The second half of the weekend brings more lake effect chances with a subtle wave passing over the Great Lakes. A return to more seasonable temperatures occurs Sunday through Tuesday. Another potentially impactful storm system in the late Tuesday - Wednesday time frame could bring more mixed precip. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) Issued at 1144 PM EST Wed Feb 6 2019 Expect low cigs to remain in place through the duration as another deepening area of low pressure passes across the state on Thursday. A touch of freezing rain and sleet will scrape by MBL/TVC/PLN overnight. Widespread wintry precip will move in from the south on Thursday, with freezing rain, sleet, snow, and eventually rain. Significant ice accumulations are expected. Winds will become easterly and a touch gusty, veer southerly late Thursday, and abruptly to the w Thu evening as a strong cold front passes. LLWS on Thursday. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...WINTER STORM WARNING until 7 PM EST Friday for MIZ016-017- 019>022-025>028-031>033.
