What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Mar 3, 11:56 PM EST, 3 hours 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 3, 11:56 PM EST, 3 hours 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 1156 PM EST Wed Mar 3 2021 .UPDATE... Issued at 1022 PM EST Wed Mar 3 2021 Great Lakes region sitting in between building upper level ridge axis across western NOAM and deepening troughing through New England and eastern Canada. Elongated surface high pressure stretches from Hudson Bay down into the northern lakes region, but with prominent lake aggregate troughing extending from eastern lake Superior down through Lake Huron. Cold front that slid down through the region earlier in the day is now down in the Ohio Valley, with colder air continuing to spread into the Great Lakes. This has brought the return of abundant lake cloudiness to northern Michigan. No precip across northern Lower Michigan at the moment. But CASMR radar shows some light returns across eastern Lake Superior, particularly along the aforementioned lake aggregate trough axis and some light snow reported in KERY. Surface high pressure will continue to build down into the Great Lakes region tonight through Thursday kicking lake aggregate trough axis southward in time. Edge of the coldest air slides down through eastern Lake Superior and into Lake Huron. Already getting some light snow/flurries off Lake Superior into parts of eastern Upper Michigan. And with eventual arrival of colder air and lake aggregate trough, some light snow/flurries will eventually get going off Lake Huron into parts of NE Lower Michigan later overnight into Thursday morning as well. && .NEAR TERM...(Through Tonight) Issued at 340 PM EST Wed Mar 3 2021 High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal. Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Southern edge of quasi-zonal northern branch flow impacting the Great Lakes today...with a prominent split in the large scale flow along the west coast with a little more active southern branch including a slow moving closed low moving into southern California. Quick moving short wave trough passing east of the upper Lakes this afternoon...with drier/colder air advecting into the state behind this feature. Moisture associated with this wave is pretty shallow (at and below 800mb) but has been enough to squeeze out some light snow/flurries and sprinkles. 16z surface analysis shows a 1009mb surface low north of Lake Ontario with a cold front trailing back to the west across northern Lower Michigan/northern Wisconsin. Rising surface pressures expected across the upper Lakes tonight in the wake of this afternoon's cold front...as 1030mb surface ridge builds southward from northwest Ontario. As upstream flow becomes more amplified/anticyclonic...a fast moving short wave trough will dive into Michigan after midnight. Primary Forecast Concerns: Current broken area of light precip moving southeast through Lower Michigan east of the US-131 corridor should move out of northeast Lower around 00z. This will be followed by a push of cold air with the coldest air settling into far eastern Lake Superior and Lake Huron with 850mb temperatures in the -12C to -16C range overnight. This results in the deepest lake induced CBL depth occurring over Lake Huron (inversion heights around 850mb/-15C). So expect to see increasing snow shower activity in and around Thunder Bay off Lake Huron... which could be enhanced by a period of stronger low level convergence with some possibility of an inverted trough axis rotating back off Lake Huron and into northeast Lower. Off Lake Superior and Lake Michigan cloud depths expected to be much shallower so not expecting much more than flurries at this point. Low temperatures expected to sink into the teens across much of eastern Upper and interior northern Lower...with some single digit && .SHORT TERM...(Thursday through Saturday) Issued at 340 PM EST Wed Mar 3 2021 High impact weather: None is expected. Primary forecast concerns/challenges: Any lake effect? Northwest flow aloft will be across the region through the period. Meanwhile, surface high pressure centered across north central Canada will circulate chilly air into northern Michigan. So overall a fairly quiet few days are anticipated. However, it may turn just marginally cold enough for a bit of lake effect late Thursday night into Friday morning but the airmass is fairly dry (mean 850-700 mb rh only between 30 and 40 percent). So will just have slight chance pops in north or north northwest lake effect favored areas for now as this could be more of a cloud issue. Elsewhere, just some instability driven cu during the day. Temperatures will average out a few degrees below normal through the period. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday) Issued at 340 PM EST Wed Mar 3 2021 High impact weather potential: None is expected. Upper level ridging builds in Sunday into Monday morning before a moisture starved short wave temporarily flattens out the ridge Monday afternoon and evening. Ridging increases again Tuesday then attention will turn to a possible strong area of low pressure moving by to our west toward midweek (extended models vary on the strength and timing). As far as temperatures go, Saturday night has the potential to be very cold with surface high pressure across the region. Could see some spots dropping below zero (lowered the blend by several degrees). Besides that, warming daytime temperatures are expected with highs of well into the 30s to around 40 Sunday, the mid 40s to low 50s Monday, then well into the 40s to the mid 50s Tuesday and Wednesday (could even see a few spots hitting 60 Wednesday depending upon the timing/details of the possible surface low). && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) Issued at 1156 PM EST Wed Mar 3 2021 Colder air continues to spill into northern Michigan and will lead to MVFR cloud cover across northern Lower Michigan through the overnight hours...and some light snow showers/flurries off Lake Huron into NE Lower Michigan. On Thursday, drier air wedges down into northern Michigan and will scour out the MVFR cloud cover as we go through the day. && .MARINE... Issued at 340 PM EST Wed Mar 3 2021 North-northwest winds expected tonight across Lakes Michigan/Huron as surface ridge axis builds south. Will be close to small craft conditions around the Lower Michigan nearshore zones tonight...and maybe another brief period of small craft conditions around Presque Isle Light later Thursday afternoon or evening with continued northwest winds. Winds are forecast to increase again from the northwest Friday which will probably require another round of advisories. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE.
