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 Feb 11, 12:28 PM EST, 1 hour 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 12:28 PM EST, 1 hour 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 1228 PM EST Mon Feb 11 2019 .UPDATE... Issued at 920 AM EST Mon Feb 11 2019 Precip has diminished as expected this morning, with Lake Huron increasingly becoming the dominant influence in low-level easterly flow. The inversion is quite shallow (2-3k ft), but moisture extends above the inversion to almost 700mb (per APX 12Z sounding and Bufr). Bufr soundings indicate that moisture above the inversion only slowly thins during the day, which will help support precip into ne lower MI most of the day. The above requires no significant changes to the going forecast. However, have added freezing drizzle chances along with light snow showers, as cloud-top temps warm from -11C to -9C, increasing the chances of ice not being present in the cloud layer. The other change to note was to reduce cloud cover in eastern upper MI today. The morning has started out mostly sunny north of the Straits, and guidance does not appreciably cloud them up until after sunset. Have also boosted max temps 2-3f in eastern upper. && .NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight) Issued at 229 AM EST Mon Feb 11 2019 ...Mostly Quiet Day with light snow diminishing... High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal before next storm. Primary Forecast Concerns/Challenges: Light system snow ending near daybreak. Easterly flow lake enhanced snow through much of today. Synoptic analysis reveals rather progressive flow over the CONUS, with weak ridging across the eastern third of the country, and a trough digging into the four corners region. High pressure in southern Ontario is aiding in light easterly winds at the surface. A weak shortwave is currently moving through the flow over the northern Great Lakes. This shortwave and a H700 thermal gradient is currently supporting a swath of snow across northern Michigan and northern Wisconsin. Although the H700 thermal gradient will not change much through sunrise, snow should decrease into the morning hours as the shortwave weakens and moves east into Quebec taking weak synoptic support and moisture off to the east with it. Moisture gets stripped out through day break and shortwave ridging moves into the region. Early this morning, the heaviest snow has been moving through the southern portion of the area, with lighter returns to the north of the office. Radar returns have been weakening overall since around 0400 UTC, and visibilities south of M-32 have been between a mile and a half and two in the heaviest snow. Our easterly winds will lead to light lake effect from Lake Huron through the day, before inversion heights come sinking down to around 1500 feet into the evening. This limiting factor, in addition to very slowly backing winds through the day should keep accumulations down to an inch of less through the day Monday. Winds pick up very gradually through the day as the pressure gradient slowly increases over us. Winds near the top of the boundary layer are progged to be near 30, so isolated wind gusts into the 20s at the surface can't be ruled out. This will lead to patchy blowing snow and reduced visibilities in areas, especially near the lake shore areas an in any higher terrain. The precip from the next system should be arriving between 09 and 12Z in our southwest counties. More details on this storm in the short-term section below. && .SHORT TERM...(Tuesday through Wednesday) Issued at 229 AM EST Mon Feb 11 2019 ...Accumulating snow on the way... High Impact Weather Potential...Accumulating snow, heavy at times, Tuesday through Tuesday night. Patchy freezing drizzle may mix in at times Tuesday afternoon/early evening. In addition, gusty winds Tuesday will create areas of blowing/drifting snow. All this will combine to bring potentially dangerous travel conditions to northern Michigan. Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Mid-level ridging atop Michigan this evening will quickly be replaced tonight through Tuesday by potent shortwave troughing already evident on water vapor imagery early this morning across the Four-Corners region. Attendant strengthening surface low pressure is expected to trek from the south-central plains through central IL to near Detroit during the day Tuesday, bringing another impactful winter storm to northern Michigan early Tuesday morning through Tuesday night. Broad cyclonic flow is expected on the back side of the departing system on Wednesday, allowing lake effect snow showers to continue for much of the day downwind of Lake Michigan and Superior in the typical northwest flow snow belts. Primary Forecast Concerns...Precipitation type(s) and amounts Tuesday through Wednesday. By Monday evening, any lingering light easterly flow lake effect snow showers/patchy freezing drizzle across northeast lower will be waning with time as a weak thermal ridge gradually presses northward through northern lower Michigan, significantly limiting any remaining over-lake instability. Focus then transitions to the well- advertised early Tuesday through Tuesday night time frame as aforementioned low pressure will be working its way through the mid- Mississippi Valley during the overnight hours with isentropically driven snow chances arriving from southwest to northeast across northern Michigan primarily between 09-15z. Snow continues Tuesday morning, heavy at times (SLRs varying from 10-14:1) as the system's warm conveyor belt and associated deeper moisture punch right into lower Michigan. However, as has been alluded to in the previous few forecast discussions, deeper moisture strips away to the east by mid Tuesday afternoon into the early evening in relation to the system's dry slot. This will result in lighter snow and an opportunity for a bit of freezing drizzle to mix in during this time frame. Not expecting a whole lot in the way of icing...perhaps a glaze across our southern/southeastern counties where the loss of moisture is expected to be more pronounced. By mid Tuesday evening into the overnight hours, a resurgence of deep layer moisture and synoptic support is anticipated as the mid-level wave treks across the area, bringing another round of steadier/heavier snow across much of northern Michigan once again before support gradually exits stage right early Wednesday morning allowing any lingering activity to become more snow showery in nature during the Wednesday morning commute. 24-30 hour storm total snow accumulations from pre-dawn Tuesday morning through sunrise Wednesday morning expected to range from 5-8 inches across the southwestern counties to 6-10 inches across the remainder of the forecast area...even locally higher near the Lake Huron shoreline of northeast lower and Chip/Mack counties as a prolonged southeasterly boundary layer wind may help draw in added moisture despite being below the 'magical' 13 C delta T (delta Ts around 9-10 C). In addition to falling snow, heavy at times, will be gusty (20-30 mph) east-southeasterly winds throughout much of the day on Tuesday creating concern for blowing/drifting snow and a further reduction to visibility. Winds relax quite a bit Tuesday evening into the overnight while gradually backing more northerly and eventually northwesterly by early Wednesday morning before becoming gusty once again. All in all, indications continue to point toward a period of potentially dangerous travel early Tuesday through Tuesday night with accumulating snow, patchy freezing drizzle, blowing/drifting snow and snow-covered/slippery roads. In coordination with DTX, will continue the Winter Storm Watch across the forecast area allowing the day shift to get a look at 12z guidance before upgrading to Winter Storm Warnings and/or Advisories. Numerous lake effect snow showers are expected to round out the remainder of the short term forecast period during much of the day Wednesday, primarily in northwest flow lake belts of northwest lower and eastern upper. Gusty northwest winds should limit the flake size, but will still cause concern for more blowing/drifting and pockets of greatly reduced visibility. Additional accumulation of up to 3 inches in parts of Charlevoix, Antrim, Otsego and Kalkaska counties, with 2 inches or less elsewhere downwind of the lakes. High temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday ranging from the low 20s across eastern upper to the mid-upper 20s across the remainder of the area. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday) Issued at 229 AM EST Mon Feb 11 2019 High Impact Weather Potential...Another potentially impactful winter storm possible Thursday night through Friday night, although confidence remains low. By Wednesday night into early Thursday, warm air advection will be underway across the western Great Lakes ahead of the next approaching system off to our west. This should bring an end to any lingering lake effect snow Wed. night before attention shifts to the late Thursday through early Saturday time frame as another area of low pressure strengthens across the Plains before trekking northeastward towards the Great Lakes region. As always, the storm track will be the biggest contributing factor to northern Michigan's sensible weather during this period, which remains low confidence at this point given a spread of solutions that range from rain Friday transitioning to snow late in the day to a system that brings another round of widespread, potentially heavy, accumulating snow. Worth staying tuned to as we head through the week given a very active storm track continuing across the midsection of the country. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1228 PM EST Mon Feb 11 2019 IFR vsbys at times in light snow showers this afternoon APN/PLN. Heavy snow starts to work in from the south Tue morning. High pressure is anchored to our north, resulting in easterly low-level winds. Lake effect snow showers off of Huron are impacting APN/PLN, producing occasional IFR vsbys. Otherwise, MVFR to VFR cigs will prevail into late tonight. As intensifying low pressure approaches from the sw, snow will move north into the region very late tonight into Tue morning. Moderate to heavy snow will eventually develop, with IFR to LIFR conditions. Easterly winds will become gustier tonight and Tuesday. LLWS in spots overnight and Tue morning. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...WINTER STORM WATCH from midnight EST tonight through Wednesday morning for MIZ020-025>036-041-042.

Accumulating snow is expected to arrive from south to north very late tonight. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday. A winter storm will bring accumulating snow to northern Michigan Tuesday through Tuesday night. The heaviest snowfall is expected to occur Tuesday morning and again Tuesday evening into the overnight hours. Freezing drizzle or light freezing rain may also mix in Tuesday afternoon, mainly south of M-32. In addition, gusty winds will contribute to significant blowing and drifting snow, which may linger into Wednesday. See ongoing winter storm watches for details. Yet another potentially impactful winter storm is possible by Friday. There is the potential for ice jams to develop on area rivers. Flooding may occur rapidly upstream from any ice jams that develop. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are encouraged to report snow amounts to the National Weather Service.
