What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this blizzard warning 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 blizzard warning went out at Apr 3, 12:36 PM CDT, 2 hours 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 12:36 PM CDT, 2 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Duluth MN
1236 PM CDT Mon Apr 3 2023

.DISCUSSION...(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 504 AM CDT Mon Apr 3 2023

Summary: A large late-season winter/spring storm is still on track
to bring strong winds, snow, mixed precipitation, rain, and
possibly a few thunderstorms. Heavy accumulating snow and
potentially significant ice accumulations are possible, and near-
blizzard to blizzard conditions are possible for some areas.

Clouds are on the increase from the northwest this morning as a
clipper system continues to traverse east along the International
Border. A few snow or mixed rain/snow showers may be possible
today, but very little if any accumulation is expected.
Temperatures are expected to warm above freezing today, so a
little moisture from snowmelt is expected to keep low clouds
prevalent. A cold front will pass through following the clipper,
and models still hint at the possibility of a fairly abrupt wind
shift change to northeasterly over Lake Superior this afternoon. A
brief burst of snow may be possible as this front passes through.

As cool northeasterly flow settles into place tonight, attention
then turns to the late season winter/spring storm that has been
mentioned for a few days now. The storm is still on track to pass
directly through the Northland and produce impactful winter
weather. There are some forecast changes with this update as the
storm track continues to favor a track slightly further to the
northwest compared to previous model runs. In addition, QPF is
slightly reduced, resulting in an overall reduction in snowfall
totals a bit.

Areas most likely to remain all snow will be roughly from a line
from Pine River to Orr and points north and west. For these areas,
probabilities still remain above 50% for 6"+ of snow, and areas
that could see totals around a foot still remain possible, mainly
in Koochiching County. Snow is expected to start Tuesday morning
and become moderate to heavy Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday
morning before tapering to light snow thereafter.

Areas from the Brainerd Lakes to Twin Ports, North Shore, and
South Shore from Duluth to the Bayfield Peninsula are now expected
to see a longer duration of mixed precipitation, which will
result in lesser snowfall totals and a greater potential for some
freezing rain accumulations. In general, snowfall accumulations
around 3-6" appear likely, except for some locally higher totals
along the North Shore where initially enhanced rates due to
orographic and lake enhancement are possible as the snow starts
falling Tuesday morning through Tuesday afternoon. Across Douglas
and Bayfield counties, lesser snowfall amounts from around 2-4"
are likely. A strong surge of warm air advection aloft is likely
to result in a changeover to mixed precipitation Tuesday night for
these areas. Some of the aforementioned snow totals will include
sleet. In addition, a several hour period of freezing rain is
more likely now for areas in the higher terrain along the
periphery of Lake Superior with the potential for some ice
accumulations on the order of 1 to 3 tenths of an inch. This
includes the North Shore roughly from Two Harbors to Duluth, and
the South Shore from Duluth to the Bayfield Peninsula. With the
potential for higher ice accumulations across parts of the South
Shore, the Winter Storm Watch has been expanded to include Douglas
and Bayfield counties. With all this said, these areas that remain
in this "zone of uncertainty" are especially subject to further
forecast refinements in the next day or so. As is always the case
with precipitation in a thermal profile that hovers around
freezing, even the slightest changes to storm track, the warm nose
aloft, and surface temperatures can mean drastic changes in
precipitation type. Therefore, for these areas especially, stay
tuned to the forecast for updates. The mixed precipitation is
expected to transition back to snow Wednesday, then gradually
lighten in intensity.

For the rest of northwest Wisconsin, much warmer air is expected.
Therefore, after an initial burst of snow on Tuesday, a changeover
to mixed precipitation or plain old rain the further south you go
is likely. Snow and ice accumulations are not expected to be
significant at this time. However, rainfall amounts up to 0.5" to
1.5" falling on top of a melting snowpack may result in some minor
flooding issues. Some non-severe thunderstorms may be possible as
well Tuesday night into Wednesday morning before precipitation
transitions back to light snow Wednesday afternoon.

Strong northeast winds are expected regionwide as this storm
passes through with gusts from 35-50 mph expected everywhere, and
stronger gusts from 45 to nearly 65 mph possible especially for
areas near Lake Superior along the North Shore. With these strong
winds, near-blizzard to blizzard conditions may be possible for
the heavy snowfall periods, which include most of the storm
Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday north and west of a line from
Pine River to Orr, and also with the initial onset of snow before
it transitions to mixed precipitation along the North Shore on
Tuesday. Snow loading on trees and other surfaces as well as ice
accumulation may lead to an elevated risk for a few power outages
when combining the wind with the precipitation.

There is also a non-zero risk for some minor lakeshore flooding in
the Duluth area due to the strong northeasterly winds producing
wave heights to around 20 ft. Confidence is not high enough to
issue a Lakeshore Flood Watch at this point because a notable
amount of ice still persists just offshore, and local studies of
previous lakeshore floods suggest that they occur with water
levels about a foot or two higher than they are currently.
Nevertheless, strong winds and waves of the magnitude forecasted
have resulted in lakeshore flooding in the past, albeit in
conditions with higher water levels and without ice presence.

As the low moves northeast Wednesday into Wednesday night,
wraparound light snow is expected with cold air advection
infiltrating the region. Some additional light snow accumulations
may be possible, especially for northeastern Minnesota. Wraparound
snow could persist into Thursday before ending.

A period of quieter weather is likely to end the week. Some warmer
air and precipitation chances may return going into the weekend.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1231 PM CDT Mon Apr 3 2023

A blend of MVFR in VFR will slowly deteriorate into IFR and LIFR
in advance of a large spring storm. In this TAF period the
precipitation enters the southern terminals towards the end of the
TAF period. It should start as snow though a tendency towards
mixed precipitation will follow shortly after this TAF period.
East winds will be on the increase through the TAF period as well
with gusts to 35 knots possible Tuesday morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 504 AM CDT Mon Apr 3 2023

As winds have been gradually diminishing this morning, current
Small Craft Advisories have been either cancelled or allowed to
expire. Winds will be briefly mostly light and variable today
before becoming rather abruptly northeasterly this afternoon. As a
strong storm approaches going into Tuesday, wind speeds and gusts
are expected to increase dramatically with storm force gusts
expected nearly everywhere Tuesday through Wednesday morning. Wave
heights around 20 ft can be expected as well. Small Craft
Advisories go into effect this afternoon, then transition to
storm warnings Tuesday morning for most areas. From Chequamegon
Bay to Saxon Harbor, a Gale Warning is in effect where wind gusts
may not quite make it to storm force criteria. Winds will switch
to west/southwest Wednesday and will gradually diminish through
Thursday night.
