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 Gaylord, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Mar 14, 6:34 AM EDT, 6 hours 51 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • -Major winter storm is expected to track across Northern Michigan this Sunday through Monday. Latest trends support icing and widespread accumulating snow across northern parts of the CWA. -Continued waves of energy track through the region next week. Rounds of light precipitation are expected at times through the remainder of the forecast period.

.KEY MESSAGES...

-Major winter storm is expected to track across Northern Michigan
this Sunday through Monday. Latest trends support icing and
widespread accumulating snow across northern parts of the CWA.

-Continued waves of energy track through the region next week.
Rounds of light precipitation are expected at times through the
remainder of the forecast period.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 302 AM EDT Sat Mar 14 2026

Pattern Synopsis and Forecast: The 500mb longwave pattern remains
straddled over the majority of North America, with a strong jet max
positioned over the northern CONUS. A clipper system currently over
Upstate New York continues to progress eastward, drawing dry air
into the Great Lakes region. Surface high pressure will keep
conditions quiet across the CWA today before strong low pressure
develops over the Central Plains and tracks through the Midwest.
Deep mid-level troughing positions its axis over the central U.S.,
while a strong thermal gradient positions itself over the Great
Lakes region with freezing H8 temperatures dissecting Northern
Michigan in half. Classic cyclogenesis lee of the Rockies will lift
northeast and deliver widespread snowfall as early as tonight.
Strong warm air advection with efficient moisture transport from the
Gulf will continue heavy snowfall and mixed precipitation through
Monday before the surface cyclone departs to the northeast.

Midlevel ridging begins to develop over the Southwest midweek next
week, causing heights to gradually rise over the Great Lakes region.
This pattern will support surface temperatures slowly climbing
through the remainder of the forecast period with highs near
climatological normal for mid-March. Small embedded energy waves
track through the region at times, delivering periods of
precipitation, but no widespread impactful weather is expected to
impact Northern Michigan after the Sunday/Monday system.

Primary Forecast Concerns:

-Major winter storm is expected to track across Northern Michigan
this Sunday through Monday. Latest trends support icing and
widespread accumulating snow across northern parts of the CWA...
Warm advection driven snowfall will begin to spread in tonight
across the entire CWA. Guidance displays trends of a northward shift
in p-types as deeper midlevel troughing shifts the previously
mentioned tight thermal gradient over the Straits region. Strong
southerly warm air advection will occur Sunday morning, pushing snow
north of the bridge and introducing mixed precipitation across
Northern Lower...specifically the Tip of the Mitt. Thermal profiles
appear warm enough Sunday afternoon through Monday to support
rainfall across the most of northern Lower, along with strong mid-
level lapse rates and instability to introduce convection. After the
cyclone's core tracks across the CWA Monday evening, backside cold
air advection will return all p-types to snow with strong enough
delta-T's to carry lake effect snow showers through Tuesday morning.

Confidence in storm track remain very low while QPF totals have been
consistent, as the highest snowfall totals favor areas NW of the
CWA. Nevertheless, with QPF totals of 1.5" to 2.5" across most of
the CWA, widespread disruptions to travel are likely. Snowfall
totals of 1-2+ feet are expected across eastern Upper (especially
western Chippewa and Mackinac Counties), while lower ratios and the
introduction of rain and mixed precipitation favor most of northern
Lower. Highest icing amounts favor the Straits and sections of
northern lower with accumulations of 0.25"+. Power outages and if
even higher end icing materializes, disruptions to infrastructure
not out of the question. River flooding remains a concern worth
mentioning as guidance depicts a couple of our area rivers exceeding
action stage by early next week.

-Continued waves of energy track through the region next week.
Rounds of light precipitation are expected at times through the
remainder of the forecast period... Tuesday morning remains the
coldest period through the forecast period as backside cold air
advection from the departing storm system draws cold cP air into
the CWA. Strong Delta Ts continue lake effect snow showers this
Tuesday before temperatures begin to climb the rest of the
week. The previously mentioned ridging will cause heights to
rise across the Midwest through the rest of the week, supporting
surface temps to gradually climb to climatological norms. Only
precipitation expected after Tuesday will be generated from
embedded height disturbances tracking snow across the region
this Wednesday followed by round of rainfall around the Thursday
night/Friday timeframe.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 633 AM EDT Sat Mar 14 2026

Perhaps some high MVFR/low VFR CIGs this morning at all terminals,
but fairly quickly expected to turn solid VFR today through
this evening. However, clouds will increase late in the day and
begin to lower in advance of a strong winter storm set to impact
northern MI beginning tonight. Snow expected to spread in from
west to east tonight with conditions falling to MVFR and
eventually IFR area-wide.

Generally light winds today turn out of the east-southeast tonight and
become gusty by daybreak Sunday.
