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 Duluth, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Dec 13, 11:45 AM CST, 4 hours 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 13, 11:45 AM CST, 4 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Duluth MN
1145 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021

.DISCUSSION...(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 346 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021

Summary: A relatively quiet period is still expected into Tuesday with
temperatures remaining above normal then focus will shift to a
strong and unusually warm storm that will impact the region
Wednesday into Thursday.

The Northland will be just downstream from a low amplitude upper
ridge today that will build and move east tonight into Tuesday as a
deep upper trough moves onto the West Coast. The Northland will
remain dry today into Tuesday with highs from the lower thirties to
around forty.

Warm air advection will continue Tuesday night with 850MB
temperatures rising to 6 to 10C by 12Z Wednesday across the
Northland. 850-500MB temperatures will be in the 97th+ percentile
for this time of year on Wednesday. Questions remain just how
much warmth will make it to the surface. We continue to go on the
cool side of guidance for a few reasons. 1) we still expect
widespread stratus on Wednesday, 2) southerly winds will be
flowing over a deeper snowpack into the Northland, and 3) added
moisture from the melting snowpack and moisture from the
approaching storm may cause fog/drizzle. We generally have highs
from the upper thirties to around forty in northern Minnesota to
the lower forties to around fifty from central Minnesota into
northern Wisconsin. The main push of precipitation will occur
Wednesday night, but there may be some drizzle/light freezing
drizzle in spots late Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Things get more interesting Wednesday night as a deepening area of low
pressure moves through the region. The models are not in as good
agreement as 24 hours ago with the track of the low but the
strength remains consistent. A strong shortwave will move through
the base of the upper trough. 500MB height falls of 260-330M will
occur with the wave Wednesday night! The surface low will be
deepening as a result with central pressure down around 990MB
Wednesday morning while the low is over CO/WY but will drop to
979MB(GFS) and 985MB(ECMWF) by 00Z Thursday when the low is in the
MN/SD/IA border region. The low deepens further as it moves
through the Northland into Ontario just north of Lake Superior by
12Z Thursday. The track is less clustered among the models
compared to yesterday. The Ensemble means from the GFS and ECMWF
remain a bit faster than the deterministic runs with strength
similar. This storm will have plenty of moisture to work with as
PWAT values are in the 99th+ percentiles, with values as high as
an inch. Light rain will develop in spots Wednesday afternoon with
precipitation intensity increasing quite a bit Wednesday
evening/overnight as strong lift arrives. Precipitation type will
continue to be a challenge as dynamic/evaporative cooling occurs
with the heavier precipitation Wednesday night along with eventual
colder air advecting in on the backside of the storm. At this
time, we feel the threat is for mainly rain then snow with
freezing rain not as likely as rain/snow. Significant snowfall
remains likely, and the main area of concern is north-central
Minnesota into the Iron Range and Arrowhead. It's just too early
to speculate on amounts at this time as there remains considerable
differences on the storm track as well as low level temperatures.
Ice concerns, although are lower than the rain/snow, are not zero.
Keep up to date on the forecast as details will be refined through
Wednesday as some of the concerns are very short term in nature.

As the low pulls away late Wednesday night into Thursday, strong
west to northwest winds will develop. Gusts of 35 to 45 mph look to
be a slam dunk for much of the Northland with some gusts possibly
even higher. Little precipitation is expected through the day
Thursday.

Colder air will return Thursday and last into the weekend. There
will be a couple weaker low pressure systems that may affect the
Northland bringing snow chances.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1145 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021

VFR conditions will continue through the TAF period. Some high
clouds will build in later this afternoon and evening across the
region. The NAM/RAP soundings are hinting at some lower clouds
developing late tonight through Tuesday morning over the northern
TAF sites. The NAM is indicating ceilings around 1kft or lower,
but this isn't reflected in other high-res guidance, so we will
just hint at these lower ceilings with SCT wording for now. Strong
flow of 40 to 50 knots aloft will increase after midnight
tonight, resulting in widespread low-level wind shear. This should
continue through at least 18z.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 1012 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021

Westerly winds will remain in place across western Lake Superior
today, as an area of low pressure over eastern Ontario continues
to track off the east. Winds continue to be gusty in places over
the nearshore waters, including the Outer Apostle Islands, as
well as portions of the North Shore. We continue to see wind gusts
between 20 to 30 knots at Grand Marais (GNA), as well as Devil's
Island. Due to these observations, as well as a signal for
lingering gusty winds in the latest high-res models, we have
decided to extend the current Small Craft Advisories into the
afternoon hours. It appears that the winds along the North Shore
will linger longer, so we have extended the advisory to 4 PM CST
this afternoon. An area of high pressure to the north of the
region will build in tonight, resulting in a wind shift from the
northeast. This should lead to another round of strong flow. Winds
don't appear to be overly strong at this time, but the favorable
fetch should lead to building waves, particularly along the North
Shore. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed again
tonight. Winds will become more easterly as we go through the day
Tuesday, with larger waves lingering. Calmer conditions are
expected for Tuesday night through Wednesday afternoon before a
very strong system moves in for Wednesday night through Thursday.
Gale-force winds are becoming likely with this particular system.
