The episode as NWS MQT wrote it up.
An upper trough deepening over the Great Lakes generated thunderstorms with heavy rain over portions of west and central Upper Michigan from the 25th into the 26th. Some of the storms turned severe over Gogebic and Dickinson counties on the 25th.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jul 25, 2:42 PM CST, 2 hours 18 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI 442 PM EDT THU JUL 25 2013 .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY) ISSUED AT 440 PM EDT THU JUL 25 2013 LOOKS TO BE AN ACTIVE AND CHANGEABLE WEATHER FORECAST INTO FRIDAY. SFC ANALYSIS INDICATES LOW PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN MN WITH SFC TROUGH EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTION OF LK SUPERIOR. ADDITIONAL TROUGH...HELPING TO INCREASE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE...IS SLIDING INTO WESTERN UPR MICHIGAN CURRENTLY. SCT TSRA ARE FORMING OVER WESTERN CWA WHERE THE TROUGHS ARE MERGING AND ALONG MLCAPE OVR 1000J/KG. DEEPER SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO LEAD TO STRONGER STORMS. THUS FAR...STRONGEST STORMS WERE FIRING FROM SOUTHERN HOUGHTON COUNTY INTO BARAGA COUNTY. PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH OVER WESTERN UPR MICHIGAN SLIDES ACROSS CWA THIS EVENING. AS THE TROUGH AND SFC-H925 THETA-E RIDGE INTERACT EXPECT SCT SHRA/TSRA TO ROLL ACROSS CWA THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. CANNOT RULE OUT SVR STORM WITH SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR UP TO 40 KTS AND 0-1KM SHEAR OVR 20 KTS. DUE TO BOUNDARY OVR SOUTHERN LK SUPERIOR DROPPING INTO FAR NORTH CWA MAY SEE LOCALLY ENHANCED HELICITIES/LOWER LCL WHICH WOULD RESULT IN POSSIBILITY OF A BRIEF TORNADO. THINKING SVR THREAT WILL BE ON THE WANE LATER THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME INSTABILITY AND AS SHORTWAVE PRODUCING TSRA OVR NORTHERN MN SHOULD BE CROSSING THE CWA AT THAT TIME. MOISTURE ADVECTION AT H85-H7 OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF MAIN SHORTWAVE TROUGH SHOULD HELP DEVELOP MORE SHRA/TSRA ESPECIALLY OVR SW AND EVENTUALLY THE EASTERN CWA BY LATE TONIGHT. UPPER TROUGH DEEPENS ON FRIDAY OVR UPR MICHIGAN AND LK SUPERIOR. LOW-LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION COMBINED WITH DIVERGENCE ALOFT IN COUPLED JET STRUCTURE ON LEADING EDGE OF TROUGH ALOFT SHOULD RESULT IN ANOTHER WAVE OF SHRA/SCT TSRA MAINLY OVR EAST HALF OF CWA. NOT SURE ON COVERAGE OF TSRA BUT WITH COLDER AIR ALOFT BENEATH UPR TROUGH BEST TO KEEP A MENTION IN AT THIS POINT. DID DROP TSRA MENTION BY AFTN OVR WEST AS INSTABILITY BEGINS TO FALL OFF DUE TO STRONG LOW-LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION. SHARP COOLING MAKES IT TO SFC EVENTUALLY WITH TEMPS FALLING TROUGH THE 50S OVR THE WESTERN CWA BY AFTN. CNTRL AND EAST AREAS MAY SEE TEMPS INTO THE MID-UPR 60S AHEAD OF COLD FRONT BUT EVENTUALLY WILL SEE TEMPS FALLING INTO THE 50S BY LATE IN THE DAY. OTHER ISSUES ON FRIDAY WILL BE SOME FOG OVR HIGHER TERRAIN OF WEST AND NCNTRL AS COOLER/MOIST MARINE AIR IS ADVECTED OVER THE AREA AND ALSO GUSTY NORTH WINDS CLOSER TO LK SUPERIOR. WIND GUSTS ALONG THE SHORE BY MID AFTN COULD REACH 30 MPH. THE COOL DOWN ONLY GETS MORE AMPLIFIED ON INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. .LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY) ISSUED AT 440 PM EDT THU JUL 25 2013 BIG STORY IN THE LONG TERM IS THE RECORD BREAKING CHILL LIKELY THIS WEEKEND...PARTICULARLY IN TERMS OF RECORD LOW MAX TEMPS (CLOUDS WILL PREVENT THE SETTING OF ANY RECORD MIN TEMPS). GUIDANCE IS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT SHOWING AN UNSEASONABLY DEEP MID LEVEL LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES THIS WEEKEND. 500MB HEIGHTS OVER THE WRN GREAT LAKES BOTTOM OUT AROUND 3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW THE LONG TERM JULY AVG...SUGGESTING A RECORD BREAKING EVENT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. ACROSS UPPER MI...500MB HEIGHTS WILL BE A WHOPPING 190-200M BELOW THE LONG TERM LATE JULY AVG. SIMILARLY...AT THE LOW POINT...850MB TEMPS WILL BE 2.5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW AVG. SEE BELOW AND ALSO THE CLIMATE SECTION FOR MORE INFO. AFTER THE AUTUMN-LIKE CHILL THIS WEEKEND...MODERATION BACK TOWARD NORMAL TEMPS WILL QUICKLY GET UNDERWAY EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE LOW LIFTS OUT... FORCED BY A TEMPORARY PUSH OF MORE ZONALLY ORIENTED FLOW ACROSS THE NRN CONUS. AFTER ALL...IT IS LATE JULY...AND THE HIGH SUN ANGLE WILL QUICKLY WARM CONDITIONS ONCE CLOUDS/PCPN EXIT. HEADING TOWARD THE LATTER PORTION OF NEXT WEEK...THE UPPER LAKES WILL FALL INTO WEAKLY CYCLONIC FLOW IN ASSOCIATION WITH BROAD TROFFING SETTING UP OVER ERN CANADA. SO...NO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS ARE ON THE HORIZON. AFTER WET WEATHER OVER THE WEEKEND...THOUGH NOT SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL...NEXT WEEK SHOULD TREND TO THE DRIER SIDE. BEST PCPN CHC NEXT WEEK WILL PROBABLY OCCUR AROUND WED. BEGINNING FRI NIGHT...MID/UPPER LOW WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF DEEPENING OVER UPPER MI/LAKE SUPERIOR. MORE WIDESPREAD/HEAVIER PCPN UNDER WARM CONVEYOR SHOULD MOSTLY BE SHIFTED E OF THE FCST AREA BY FRI EVENING AS COLD FRONT SHOULD BE NEAR/JUST E OF THE ERN FCST AREA BY EVENING. ATTENTION WILL THEN SHIFT TO LIGHTER SHRA/RA ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPING/ORGANIZING DEFORMATION ZONE UNDER DEEP...INCREASINGLY CYCLONIC FLOW. ALTHOUGH MID LAKE TEMPS OVER WRN LAKE SUPERIOR ARE AROUND 8C...TEMPS TOWARD THE NEARSHORE OF WRN UPPER MI ARE UPWARDS OF 15-16C PER GLERL ANALYSIS. SO...WITH 850MB TEMPS FALLING TO 2-4C...DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT TO THE RAIN OVER THE W FRI NIGHT AS THERE SHOULD BE JUST ENOUGH FETCH OF WARMER WATER. LAKE ENHANCED SHRA/RA OFF LAKE SUPERIOR IS CERTAINLY A VERY RARE OCCURRENCE FOR JULY. MOST OF THE PCPN FRI NIGHT SHOULD BE OVER THE W...ESPECIALLY HIGHER TERRAIN...AS MAJORITY OF GUIDANCE SHOWS THAT AREA UNDER DEEPER MOISTURE. SAT/SUN...THERE ARE SOME DETAILS TO SORT OUT...ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO LOW-LEVEL WIND FIELDS...WHICH WILL BE CRITICAL FOR TEMPS AND DETERMINING WHERE PCPN WILL BE MOST LIKELY. LOCATIONS THAT SEE OCNL RAIN AND ARE AFFECTED BY A LONG FETCH OF WINDS ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR COULD VERY WELL SET ALL-TIME RECORD LOW MAX TEMPS FOR JULY ON SAT. CLOUDS/PCPN WILL BE THE KEY TO SETTING RECORDS SINCE ANY SUN THIS TIME OF YEAR WILL EASILY PUSH TEMPS ABOVE RECORD TERRITORY. AT THE VERY LEAST...SOME NEW DAILY RECORD LOW MAX TEMPS WILL BE SET SAT AND SUN. SEE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW FOR DETAILS ON WEEKEND TEMP RECORDS FOR A FEW SITES AROUND W AND CNTRL UPPER MI. OVERALL...UNDER ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER...TEMPS SAT/SUN WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 50S WITH SOME LWR 60S OVER THE S. PERUSAL OF ALL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE W AND NW FCST AREA WILL SEE MORE PERSISTENT -SHRA/-RA AND WILL BE COOLEST SAT. THAT AREA WILL BE MOST LIKELY TO SEE ALL TIME RECORD LOW MAX TEMPS FOR JULY CHALLENGED. THE MORE PERSISTENT -SHRA/-RA WILL THEN DRIFT E SLIGHTLY ON SUN. THIS MAY BRING LOWEST MAX TEMPS A BIT FARTHER E INTO PORTIONS OF NCNTRL UPPER MI SUN. IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE PORTIONS OF THE NCNTRL/NE FCST AREA MAY END UP JUST E OF THE MAIN DEFORMATION PCPN ZONE THRU THE WEEKEND. ON BOTH DAYS... THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME LAKE ENHANCED COMPONENT TO THE RAIN AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY DURING THE NIGHT/MORNING HRS...GIVEN DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW WITH SUFFICIENTLY WARM WATER TOWARD THE NEARSHORE AREAS. AWAY FROM THE MAIN DEFORMATION ZONE PCPN AREA...-SHRA WILL NOT BE AS FREQUENT/NMRS. IN FACT...THERE MAY NOT BE MUCH PCPN OVER ROUGHLY THE E THIRD OF THE FCST AREA SAT/SUN. PCPN SHOULD GRADUALLY END FROM W TO E LATE SUN/SUN NIGHT AS THE MID/UPPER LOW GRADUALLY SHIFTS E. THE GEM/ECMWF ARE SLOWER TO SHIFT DECAYING DEFORMATION ZONE E...AND MAY RESULT IN SOME -SHRA LINGERING INTO MON MORNING OVER THE E. DRY WEATHER SHOULD THEN FOLLOW INTO MON NIGHT TUE...THOUGH NEXT SHORTWAVE MAY APPROACH SOON ENOUGH TO BRING SHRA/TSRA THREAT BACK TO THE AREA TUE AFTN. BETTER SHOT AT SHRA/TSRA WILL BE TUE NIGHT/WED AS SHORTWAVE PASSES THRU THE AREA. WEATHER SHOULD THEN TREND DRIER FOR THU. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 152 PM EDT THU JUL 25 2013 A SYSTEM OVER NORTHERN MN WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT TOWARD THE UPPER GREAT LAKES...CONSOLIDATING ACROSS WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR BY EARLY EVENING. AHEAD OF THE LOW...AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT...A COUPLE ROUNDS OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED. BEST CHANCES WILL BE VERY EARLY AT CMX AND AT IWD LATE THIS AFTN INTO EARLY EVENING. VIS AND CIGS SHOULD REMAIN VFR. IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO TREND TOWARD HIGHER IFR OR MVFR OVERNIGHT AT CMX AS SOME FOG MOVES IN OFF LK SUPERIOR. MAINLY MVFR CIGS SHOULD THEN DEVELOP AT IWD AND SAW LATER TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. && .MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE) ISSUED AT 440 PM EDT THU JUL 25 2013 LOW PRES OVER NRN MN WILL MOVE OVER WRN AND CNTRL LAKE SUPERIOR TONIGHT. WITH RELATIVELY WEAK PRES GRADIENT INITIALLY...WINDS SHOULD REMAIN 20KT OR LESS TONIGHT. AS THE LOW DEEPENS AND MEANDERS TO ERN LAKE SUPERIOR FRI...AN INFLUX OF UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR WILL BRING INCREASING NW TO N WINDS TO 15-25KT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW FRI/FRI NIGHT. GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE INCOMING COLD AIR...IT'S CERTAINLY POSSIBLE HIGHER WINDS MAY DEVELOP OVER PORTIONS OF W OR CNTRL LAKE SUPERIOR. WINDS SHOULD THEN GRADUALLY DIMINISH SAT/SUN AS PRES GRADIENT WEAKENS. WINDS SHOULD BE UNDER 20KT EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .CLIMATE... ISSUED AT 440 PM EDT THU JUL 25 2013 AT IRONWOOD...
