The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Dec 3, 11:37 AM CST, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Snow will begin this afternoon across the Northland, with the heaviest snow occurring in the tip of the Arrowhead. Snow totals up to 7 inches possible in the higher terrain. Lake effect snow will linger behind the system.
- On the back end of the system, a few snow squalls are possible in far northern Minnesota, and strong winds are expected along the North Shore. Temperatures will decrease to up to 15 degrees below normal.
- A couple more chances for snow across the Northland will return this weekend.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 221 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2024
A clipper will arrive today and bring light snow across
portions of northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin. The tip
of the Arrowhead will receive the most snow due to a combination
of lake and terrain enhancement with flow out of the southwest
this afternoon and evening. Totals of 4 to 7 inches are expected
at the tip of the Arrowhead by Wednesday morning, with the
highest at higher elevations.
On Wednesday, the low center will have passed, but northwest
flow and strong cold air advection will lead to multiple
phenomena. First, cold air being advected aloft will increase
low level lapse rates and, accompanied by strong winds and cold
air advection, could lead to scattered snow squalls across the
Borderlands to inland Arrowhead. Quickly reducing visibilities
and locally heavy snow could lead to dangerous driving
conditions. Despite this, additional snow accumulations from
these snow squalls will be less than an inch. Second, lake
effect snow will ramp up once again across Iron County as the
cold air will be upwards of -15C across relatively warm waters
(temperatures in the upper 30s and lower 40s) of Lake
Superior. From Wednesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon, up to
6 additional inches are possible from lake effect snow. Third,
strong winds aloft from a tightening pressure gradient will be
able to mix down to the surface with the increasing low level
lapse rates. Widespread winds up to 35 mph are expected. Wind
gusts exceeding 40 mph are possible in the Brainerd Lakes area
and along the North Shore. Confidence is higher for these gusts
along the North Shore due to katabatic winds. These areas could
need a Wind Advisory starting early Wednesday afternoon.
Finally, the advection of cold air into the area will lower
temperatures for Wednesday night through Thursday night. Highs
on Thursday will be in the upper teens with subzero temperatures
overnight. Combined with the gusty winds Wednesday night, wind
chills as low as -20 F are possible.
A couple of shortwaves will move through this weekend, bringing
more chances for snow. Details of these systems, such as track
and timing, are still uncertain.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1131 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2024
Clipper system dropping southeastward spreads heavier snowfall
into the Iron Range and Arrowhead northward over the next 2 to 4
hours. Expect LIFR to IFR visibilities and MVFR ceilings within
this 6 to 8 hour snowfall event, exiting last through the
Arrowhead around 6Z Wednesday. Southwest winds shift westerly
behind the clipper this evening and remain breezy around 20
knots through early Wednesday morning. From 09-15Z Wed, expect
another wind shift to northwesterly and a quick increase in wind
speeds lasting beyond this TAF period. Blowing snow is likely
after 15Z Wed and creating MVFR visibilities at area terminals
mainly along and north of U.S. Highway 2.
&&
.MARINE /FOR NEAR SHORE WATERS OF WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR/...
Issued at 221 AM CST Tue Dec 3 2024
Increasing winds out of the southwest ahead of a clipper will
lead to gusts hazardous to small craft starting this afternoon.
An occasional gale is possible out in the Apostle Islands
tonight, but the majority should remain out in the open waters,
so have not issued a gale warning for the Apostle Islands at
this time. Winds will further increase out of the northwest
after the clipper has passed, and widespread gales are expected
Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night. There is around a
20 percent chance for storm force gusts out over the open
waters and around the Apostle Islands. Will continue to monitor
to see if an upgrade will be needed.
