What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Jan 24, 4:05 AM EST, 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 24, 4:05 AM EST, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
405 AM EST Thu Jan 24 2019
.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 404 AM EST Thu Jan 24 2019
...Winter Storm has Passed, Time for the Lake Effect Machine...
High Impact Weather Potential: Accumulating lake effect snow across
the snowbelts to end the work week.
Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Overnight composite analysis features
broad long wave troughing across the eastern two-thirds of the
CONUS. Shearing short-wave trough is progressing through the western
Great Lakes early this morning and has brought about a flare-up of
lake induced/enhanced snow to northern lower Michigan. At the
surface, departing surface low is across the Ontario/Quebec
border with attendant cold front stretching south through the
Appalachians. Sharp lake aggregate surface troughing extends back
along the north shore of the U.P. with some northerly flow lake
effect impacting parts of the U.P.
Further upstream, another short-wave trough is making it's way
through south central Canada in the northern plains. Weak surface
reflection is over SW Ontario with a true arctic cold front
extending down through the upper Midwest. Colder air has/is
horseshoeing it's way around the Great Lakes, slowed by the Great
Lakes heat plume. Really cold upstream air is on it's way.
Primary Forecast Concerns: Snow accumulations and headlines as
lake effect snow machine kicks into high gear.
Lead short-wave trough slides east of the region this morning with
a brief interlude of subsidence/drier air/lowering inversion
heights and downtick in lake induced snows this morning. Thus a
relatively quiet start to the day.
But...things will go downhill quickly as we get into the afternoon
and particularly tonight. Upstream short-wave trough/surface
reflection and sharp arctic boundary will slide through the
region through the afternoon/early evening with arctic air then
collapsing into northern Michigan tonight. As typically the case,
we will probably have a decent burst of lake enhanced/synoptic
snowfall along the sharp boundary as it moves through, which will
bring nearly all areas some snowfall, although better snow
accumulations will be across parts of eastern Michigan as well as
northwest lower Michigan with enhancement off the lakes and
terrain boost.
Behind the front, lake effect conditions improve dramatically as
temperatures plunge/inversion heights are nearly erased and
lake-H8 delta Ts climb well into the 20s. Bufkit forecast
soundings show equilibrium levels up over 12K feet and lake
induced CAPE values climbing up over 750 J/KG as we go through the
night, all supportive of a period of heavy lake effect snow later
this evening and overnight.
Right now it appears that areas right around Grand Traverse Bay
get the best synoptic/lake effect accumulations through tonight
as winds veer sharply NNW behind the front. Lighter snow
accumulations elsewhere, although with the anticipated burst of
snow along the front and gusty winds/lake effect that follows,
many areas will end up with impactful winter weather.
As far as headlines are concerned, Snow accumulations will likely
flirt with warning criteria across Leelanau/Benzie and Grand
Traverse counties with the combination of snowfall this afternoon
and lake effect focusing into that area tonight. Combined with
gusty winds/blowing snow developing later tonight, plan on
upgrading those counties to a warning. Will keep the rest of the
already issued advisories intact and add a few more counties into
the mix, again for the combination of snow showers/gusty winds
and blowing snow.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(Friday through Saturday)
Issued at 404 AM EST Thu Jan 24 2019
...Brutal cold with chances for snow...
High Impact Weather Potential: Wintry travel and extreme cold into
the weekend.
Primary Forecast Concerns/Challenges: Temperatures and snowfall
through the period.
Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...A deep upper trough will dig into the
region Friday and become anchored over the Great Lakes and upper
Midwest through the weekend. Mid level temperatures in this pattern
will quickly plummet to around -24c Friday and Saturday, which will
generate well below normal temperatures. Daytime highs will only be
in the single digits and overnight lows will near 10 below zero
across all of northern Michigan through the weekend. The cold
temperatures will be further heightened Thursday into Friday
afternoon as northwest winds 15 to 25 mph generate well below zero
wind chill readings across all of northern Michigan.
There will be several chances for snow heading into the weekend as
cyclonic flow lingers over the Great Lakes Friday on the backside of
a system exiting the eastern Great Lakes, before a second feature
drops into the state to begin the weekend. The most persistent snows
and most significant amounts will in favored snow belts of Lake
Michigan and Lake Superior through the period.
Highest snowfall amounts appears to be Friday night and early
Saturday as model soundings show northwest 925-850mb winds trending
west Friday afternoon and remaining nearly steady west into Saturday
morning. 925-850mb winds slowly trend southwest Saturday afternoon
in advance of the next clipper dropping into the state. Inversion
heights through the period will be around 7k to 9k ft. However
snowfall amounts will become hindered Saturday as the entire
vertical temp column cools to temps between temps of -15c and -23c.
&&
.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 404 AM EST Thu Jan 24 2019
A wintry period to continue across the Great Lakes with well below
normal temperatures, along with several chances for snow. A 500mb
trough will dig into the Great Lakes over the weekend, forcing mid
lvl temps to fall to brutally cold readings near -32c Sunday, which
will keep daytime highs in the single digits. Temps remain below
normal across northern Michigan to begin the work week before the
coldest air of the season floods into the region Wed and Thursday
(mid lvl temps falling to around -34c). There will be several rounds
of snow over northern Michigan during the period, as a system pushes
over the state Sunday before a second system affects the region
Tuesday and Wednesday.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 1145 PM EST Wed Jan 23 2019
Low pressure will continue to pull NE away from Michigan overnight.
A secondary arctic cold front will sweep thru Michigan on
Thursday...bringing extremely cold air into our region that will
last thru the weekend and thru much of next week. NW flow lake
effect snow showers will continue to develop as colder air
arrives tonight into Thursday. Overall conditions will remain
MVFR...dropping to IFR within heavier snow showers. NW winds AOB
10 kts overnight into Thursday morning will strengthen to 10 to
20 kts with higher gusts Thursday afternoon with the arrival of
the arctic front.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 404 AM EST Thu Jan 24 2019
Gusty winds develop across the region late this afternoon and
tonight across much of the nearshore areas. Plan to hoist small
craft advisory headlines for most areas.
