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 Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Jan 24, 7:08 PM EST, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 24, 7:08 PM EST, 2 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI 708 PM EST Sun Jan 24 2021 .AVIATION... Other than a brief flurry near DTW to start the evening, snow has ended for the night ahead of a weak cold front still to move through Lower MI. Weak southerly wind ahead of the boundary makes tracking flight conditions problematic through Monday morning with a wide range of ceiling conditions possible along with some fog potential as well. The general trend is for a stalled MVFR cloud pattern and some breaks in VFR coverage allowing some open sky and fog development leading up to sunrise. It is a complex yet loosely driven pattern that will require some intermediate as the latest ceiling and visibility trends materialize. Any IFR coverage by sunrise gradually lifts to broken MVFR that breaks up during Monday afternoon as dry NE wind develops ahead of the next low pressure system. For DTW... A wide range of ceiling and visibility conditions are possible during the night into Monday morning. Borderline MVFR/VFR ceiling this evening tends to break up late tonight with some IFR fog possible around sunrise. IFR stratus instead of fog is also in play in a weather pattern with low predictability through Monday morning. DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES... * High for ceiling below 5000 feet tonight and Monday morning. && .PREV DISCUSSION... Issued at 333 PM EST Sun Jan 24 2021 DISCUSSION... Fleeting window for light snow production late this afternoon as ongoing modest isentropic ascent wanes with the eastward release of the elevated warm frontal slope. Recent radar trends would suggest simply some minor additional accumulation possible, mainly northeast of the I-75 corridor. A veering/anticyclonic low level flow then establishes deeper layer stability for tonight. Passage of a weak surface trough marking this wind shift may afford or maintain some degree of stratus, but lack of moisture depth or meaningful thermal advection supports dry conditions. Dry and stable easterly flow then defines the Monday period under subtle upper height rises. Resident thermal profile characterized as right at seasonable levels - highs arriving near the freezing mark. Southern stream shortwave fixated at the entrance region of a 130 knot upper jet forecast to shear northeast over the next 48 hours - the elongating height fall center/shear axis arriving in vicinity of lake Michigan by Monday night. Deep layer moisture transport will emerge within the strengthening southwest flow immediately downstream. Streamline analysis would suggest the greater moisture advection will tend to remain across the Ohio valley. However, a period of meaningful moist isentropic ascent anchored along an inbound 800-700 mb frontal zone on track to expand northward across southeast Michigan throughout the Monday night/Tuesday morning period. Widespread accumulating snowfall this period up through at least the I-69 corridor. The moist ascent will work to offset a somewhat underwhelming thermal profile characterized by a moist layer that resides at temperatures warmer than -7C. This will present a fairly standard if not slightly below average snow to liquid ratio - generally between 9 and 11:1. This projects as a couple inches of accumulation during this initial window, before encroaching mid level dry slot compromises the moisture quality and subsequent snowfall rate and coverage. Governing upper wave will gradually shear across the area throughout the Tuesday period. Attendant mid level deformation acting on the lingering, albeit weakening elevated frontal zone will maintain the potential for light snow production during the daylight period. A very dry airmass maintained just north of the system dynamics precludes any concern for a lake contribution off lake Huron despite the northeast flow. Additional accumulation in the vicinity of an inch looks reasonable. Opportunity for some light amounts of accumulation over the Saginaw valley and northern thumb possible this period, but dictated by the ultimate frontal position and northern pivot point of the developing deformation. Any advisory headline decisions, if any, will be deferred with onset of accumulating snow still well outside 24 hours. Conditions through the mid-late week period will remain defined by behavior of an intermittently energetic flow of Pacific origin. Southern expanse of Canadian high pressure in place Wednesday ensures a return to dry and stable conditions. Subtle period of cold air advection nudges daytime readings just on the cooler side of average. Trailing shortwave energy will migrate across the east- central conus during this time. Upper jet forcing lacks to suggest a greater mid level response locally, with better height falls tending to hold south. Building heights in the wake of this trough then offers a modest warming trend to finish work week. MARINE... Weak high pressure over Lower Michigan will lead to light and variable winds tonight over the Central Great Lakes. Easterly winds will develop on Monday, ahead of low pressure coming out of the southern Plains and high pressure building into Ontario. As the low moves into the Ohio Valley Monday evening and night, easterly winds will likely gust aob 25 knots over lake Erie, and Lake St. Clair. As the low continues north, northeast winds over Lake Huron will also likely reach around 25 knots on Tuesday. The prolonged onshore flow should lead to waves aoa 4 feet impacting the nearshore waters, and small craft advisories will likely be issued with the next forecast schedule, at least for Lake Erie to start. In addition to the increased wind and waves, snow will overspread the region from south to north Monday evening into Tuesday, with visibilities reaching 1 mile or less at times. Northeast winds look to persist even into Wednesday, but expected to be aob 15 knots during the day, before increasing Wednesday night as rapidly deepening low pressure exits the southeastern United States and moves off the Coast. Thus, a very long small craft advisory may be needed for Lake Huron, as waves look to remain elevated through the end of the work. && .DTX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. Lake Huron...NONE.
