What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Marquette, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale watch went out at Apr 25, 1:43 PM EDT, 2 hours 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 1:43 PM EDT, 2 hours 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Marquette MI 143 PM EDT Sun Apr 25 2021 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 508 AM EDT SUN APR 25 2021 Today, sfc high pressure will be building in from the west and increasingly confluent flow aloft will lead to enhanced subsidence as low clouds and any remaining flurries will scour out over the east half this morning. High pressure will remain the dominant feature maintaining dry conditions with sunny skies for much of the cwa through the day. Increasing WAA/isentropic lift could lead to an increase in mid clouds late in day over the west half. North to northeast wind off Lake Superior and chilly air mass in place will keep high temperatures unseasonably cool with readings ranging from the 30s across the east and north-central to the 40s across the west and south-central. Despite dry air mass, dewpoints lowering near the single digits and min RH values dropping in the 20 to 25 pct range across much of the west half interior this afternoon, suspect fire wx concerns should be essentially nil with recent light pcpn, light winds, and cooler temperatures. Tonight, strengthening waa/isentropic ascent regime as viewed on the 290K and 295 sfcs will spread ne into the western Great Lakes ahead of the advancing warm front from the Central Plains/Lower Midwest. Clouds will spread across the rest of the cwa in the evening, but antecedant dry air mass will delay pcpn onset and also lead to some ptype issues later tonight due to evaporative cooling. Expect some pcpn to spread into mainly the west and south central portion of the cwa late tonight. Continued trend from previous fcst of siding toward the slower solutions for pcpn onset. Fcst soundings are suggestive of mainly -sn at onset with a transition to ip late tonight. There may be a brief period of -fzra for some areas, but even if it did occur, it would likely not cause any issues due to -sn falling prior. Expect min temps ranging from the low to mid 20s east and north central to the lower 30s far west and far south central. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 407 AM EDT SUN APR 25 2021 At the beginning of the extended period the synoptic scale pattern will feature troughing on both coasts and ridging across the Plains/Midwest. The western trough/central ridge is expected to become less amplified as it shifts east over the next week with ridging building across the western US. However, the pattern characterized by coastal troughing and central US ridging appears to reload by the end of the extended period. Overall, a period of active weather embedded within a strong warm air advection regime is expected early this week with generally quieter weather late in the week. Despite strong WAA aloft, cloud cover and above normal precipitation chances should keep surface temperatures near to below normal through most of the week. The long term begins with an impressive warm air advection regime moving across the CWA. WAA induced isentropic lift/frontogenesis should result in an area of showery precipitation on Monday morning. P-type issues exist given a very dry antecedent air mass beneath an impressive warm nose near 800 mb, but p-types transitioning from snow to sleet to rain seems like the most likely outcome. A brief period of -ZR can't be completely ruled out, but coverage and associated impacts are expected to be negligible. Attention quickly transitions from p-type issues to continued precipitation chances and potential for thunderstorms Monday evening (west) through Tuesday evening (east). 4-24 12z NAEFS analysis indicated precipitable water and integrated water vapor transport values exceeding the 90th percentile by 00Z Tuesday. Furthermore, a ~50 knot low level jet moves over our CWA Monday night beneath reasonably steep (~7 C/km) mid-level lapse rates. This combination appears likely to result in MUCAPE values exceeding 1000 J/kg amidst relatively weak effective shear (~30 knots). While this environment seems unlikely to produce severe thunderstorms a few strong storms with small hail or graupel are plausible. NAM guidance has been consistently bullish with MUCAPE values exceeding 2000 J/kg that could support more vigorous updrafts. Thunderstorm chances appear to diminish on Tuesday, but forecaster confidence in frontal position is low. A slower cold front passage could allow for some diurnal destabilization and/or convective development across southern/eastern locations. The post-frontal air mass is not particularly cold, but northerly winds coming off Lake Superior should result in widespread cloud cover and chilly temperatures on Wednesday. A positively tilted trough axis is expected to move through the CWA on Thursday that should usher in a reinforcing shot of cooler air. Model spread increases behind this trough with the operational CMC/ECMWF showing a prolonged stretch of cool/cloudy weather whereas the GFS shows a rapid warm up into the 70s for next weekend. Ensemble mean guidance from the various agencies favors the warmer GFS solution, but the ongoing stretch of cool/cloudy/damp weather makes me skeptical of a rapid warm up. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 143 PM EDT SUN APR 25 2021 VFR conditions at all TAF sites will lower to MVFR late tonight with the onset of light snow before changing over to a wintry mix as a warm front lifts northward. MVFR conditions and pcpn are expected to occur just before or around sunrise at IWD and a couple hours after sunrise at CMX and SAW. 40 to 45 knot winds at around 2000ft abv the sfc may lead to some LLWS late tonight as the front approaches, but current guidance suggest some of these will mix through the boundary layer, limiting the LLWS potential. Will leave it out of the TAFs at this time. && .MARINE...(For the 4 AM Lake Superior forecast issuance) Issued at 508 AM EDT SUN APR 25 2021 As ridging builds in from the west this morning, winds should decrease blo 20 knots across the entire lake by afternoon. The pressure gradient increases tonight as Superior gets between high pressure to the east and a developing low pressure across the Central Plains. As this system lifts NE, SE winds will increase across the eastern half of the lake, with a few gale force gusts to 35 knots possible Monday afternoon and evening. By Tuesday, winds relax blo 20 knots and are expected to remain blo 20 knots through the rest of the fcst period. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Upper Michigan... None. Lake Superior... None.

A warm front will lift north through Upper Michigan late tonight/early Monday morning, initially bringing accumulating wet snow of 1 to 2 inches for the morning commute. This snow is expected to transition to sleet and some freezing rain before becoming all rain by the afternoon. This combination will lead to a slippery morning commute. Motorists are encouraged to slow their speeds and plan on a longer than normal commute. JAW
