MQTWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning 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 river flood warning went out at May 6, 5:44 AM CDT, 5 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 6, 5:44 AM CDT, 5 hours 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Marquette MI 644 AM EDT Sat May 6 2023 .SHORT TERM...(Through today) Issued at 231 AM EDT SAT MAY 6 2023 Upper air pattern consists of 500 mb troughs on both coasts and an elongated trough across the northern plains which bridges the gap between them. The pattern is blocky and a trough will remain over the northern plains this period with building heights over the upper Great Lakes by 00z Sun. 850-500 mb q-vector convergence and deep moisture remains through 00z tonight over the area. Will continue to be showery today and will have chance pops everywhere. Overall, did not make too many changes to the going forecast. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 314 AM EDT SAT MAY 6 2023 Widespread rain chances continue into Sunday morning when river levels are most likely to be rising again. More isolated precip chances are possible Sunday through Tuesday, but dry conditions are favored at this time as a Hudson Bay high pattern should keep dry easterly flow across the UP. Much above normal temperatures develop by mid-week with widespread 60s and 70s for Wed-Fri then precip chances and somewhat cooler temps could return next weekend. Overall, this favors above normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation for Sunday afternoon through Friday (finally!). Starting at 00z Sunday, an impressive +3 sigma blocking ridge across northern Canada keeps the jet stream and associated storminess farther south across the CONUS. More locally, a shortwave embedded withing southwesterly upper level flow lifts a warm front across across Upper Michigan from southwest to northeast tonight. The latest 00z 3-km NAM guidance shows around 200-300 J/kg of MUCAPE rooted around 775mb with this FroPa suggesting a few rumbles from elevated thunderstorms will be possible before sunrise. Our area stays within the warm sector on Sunday, but stubborn low level clouds should prevent destabilization except across south-central Upper Michigan. By ~21z Sunday the most aggressive model guidance (NAM 3km) advertises MLCAPE values around 1500 J/kg and effective shear values around 55 knots across south-central portions of our CWA where a lake breeze off Green Bay seems likely. The 00z HRW- NSSL and NAM-nest models try to initiate a thunderstorm in this area by 00z Monday implying a non-zero chance for a severe thunderstorm Sunday evening. The frontal boundary shifts south Sunday night and Monday implying mostly dry conditions then, but another shortwave may pivot into our area Monday night and Tuesday that could bring renewed precip chances. However, at this time continued dry conditions are favored due to easterly low level flow south of a 1020mb+ Hudson Bay surface ridge. Upper level ridging amplifies across the Great Lakes region Tuesday night through at least Friday leading to warming temperatures and dry weather. Widespread highs in the 70s are expected away from lake influences by Thursday and Friday. At the same time, an upper level low spins onto the Plains and could approach the Great Lakes region next weekend. Ensemble low tracks advertise a surface low across the Dakotas Thursday night that weakens while tracking east toward the Great Lakes on Saturday suggesting lighter precip for our area. However, at least one ensemble member from each major model center has a 24-hour precip amount exceeding 1 inch so it's worth monitoring. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning) Issued at 644 AM EDT SAT MAY 6 2023 Confidence is low with this forecast with the scattered showers moving through. Majority of the time will be VFR at the sites, but there will be some pockets of MVFR conditions that will last a couple hours at a time in the showers. && .MARINE...(For the 4 AM Lake Superior forecast issuance) Issued at 314 AM EDT SAT MAY 6 2023 Lake Superior is situated between high pressure over the the Hudson Bay and low pressure over the Rockies and Plains. This pressure pattern results in northeast winds gusting up to 30 knots over the west half of the lake and easterly gusts up to 25 knots over the east half. Dew point temperatures warmer than water temperatures is resulting in patchy dense fog, primarily across western Lake Superior where there is a longer fetch of moist low level winds. This wind pattern remains consistent until Sunday night when both pressure systems weaken and winds diminish below 20 knots lake-wide. Ridging builds across the lake Monday through Thursday allowing for light winds below 20 knots to continue with increasingly dry air limiting fog potential for Monday onwards. Increasing southeast winds are expected by Thursday night when ridging begins shifting east of the lake. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Upper Michigan... None. Lake Superior... None.
