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 Apr 26, 5:10 AM CST, 4 hours 50 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Marquette MI 710 AM EDT Tue Apr 26 2022 .SHORT TERM...(Today) Issued at 348 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2022 ...Unseasonably cold today with snow showers... Water vapor imagery and RAP analysis show mid-level troffing extending from Hudson Bay to the Upper Mississippi Valley/western Great Lakes. Within the trof, a developing mid-level low is dropping se into northern MN. Ahead of this feature, -sn is expanding se across northeast MN/western Lake Superior into western Upper MI. Temperatures across the fcst area are currently in the mid 20s to lwr 30s F. Aforementioned mid-level low will track ese today with center tracking roughly along the MI/WI stateline, a favorable track for synoptic forcing across the fcst area. Thus, expect fairly widespread -sn/-shsn across the area today, but especially across the w and n as 850mb temps falling to around -15C will add a lake component to the snow. Upsloping low-level nw to n winds will further aid snowfall locally. Weak as it will be with the cloud cover, spring daytime heating will still disrupt lake effect processes, mainly across western Lake Superior this aftn as forcing shifts e. Thus, expect -shsn to diminish over the w in the aftn, likely ending by late aftn around Ironwood. Fcst soundings still indicate deep moisture to 12-15kft with a deep DGZ layer from around 3kft to around 11kft. There is not much upward motion indicated to occur thru the deep DGZ, but the deeper DGZ will still lead to higher SLRs to fluff up snow accumulations. On the other hand, the combination of weak daytime heating thru thick cloud cover and snowfall rates being mostly on the light side will work to lower effective SLRs. Overall, expect snow accumulations mostly in the 1-2 inch range across the w and n from 12z-24z today. Local accumulations up to 3 inches will be possible in the high terrain where upsloping is maximized. Elsewhere, expect a dusting to an inch. Thick cloud cover limiting daytime heating and the core of the cold air mass moving across the area today thru this evening will set the stage for record low max temps to be set at some locations today. Here at the NWS Marquette office, the temp just after midnight was 27F. As long as the temp today does not exceed 30F (that definitely looks like the case), today will end up with the lowest max temp for so late in the season. Keep in mind, that the period of record for this office location only goes back to the early 1960s. Other locations across the fcst area may set new record low maxes for the day, but likely not lowest for so late in the season. Expect daytime high temps ranging from the upper 20s w and n (maybe only mid 20s at a few spots) to the mid to maybe upper 30s F s central. .LONG TERM...(tonight through Monday) Issued at 318 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2022 Below normal temperatures and near to below normal precipitation are expected through the extended period. Next weekend appears to have the best chance for widespread precipitation. Beginning at 00z Wednesday, a ~1033 mb arctic ridge over northwest Ontario builds southeast into the Upper Great Lakes. This surface ridge dominates our weather through late this week when it weakens and shifts east. Mostly cloudy skies and lake effect snow showers continue Tuesday night, but should diminish Wednesday morning. Mostly sunny skies are expected by Wednesday afternoon except across the far east where clouds may linger longer than currently forecast. North winds off Lake Superior suggest temps should struggle to warm along the lakeshores, but winds weaken during the day. Mostly sunny skies and lighter surface winds across the interior could allow for a warmer temps than currently forecast. Tried to reflect this in temp grids with warmer guidance for counties bordering Wisconsin and cooler guidance near the lake. Surface ridging settles overhead Wednesday night with clear skies and light winds setting the stage for near record cold temperatures. At our office in Negaunee Township, the coldest temperature observed on April 28th was 17F back in 1965 and the NBM 10th percentile shows 18F. Meanwhile, the coldest interior locations could dip to around 10F. Decided not to go all-in with the cold at this time, but much below normal temperatures are likely. Temperatures should rebound rapidly Thursday morning under sunny skies with model blends showing temps around 50F by lunchtime. Light winds and lake temperatures around 34F imply an afternoon lake breeze is likely. The higher resolution guidance available for Thursday already shows this possibility so I tried to hone Thursday's diurnal temperature curve accordingly. Trimmed PoPs and QPF Thursday night since very dry air mass in place should be difficult to saturate. A few rain showers - perhaps mixing with snow - can't be ruled out across the far west Thursday night into early Friday morning. However, most places should stay dry. Southeasterly winds strengthen on Friday into Saturday as the surface ridge shifts east, which also brings more substantial moisture back into the area. Ensemble guidance shows a surface low over eastern South Dakota Saturday morning that weakens while tracking into the Upper Great Lakes by Sunday night. Widespread precip seems likely Saturday night into Monday morning with moderate amounts possible across the west and light amounts elsewhere. Cold rain is the favored p-type at this time. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning) Issued at 710 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2022 A disturbance moving across the Upper Great Lakes today will bring -sn/-shsn across Upper MI. At IWD/CMX/SAW, expect MVFR cigs with VIS varying btwn IFR and MVFR. As the disturbance begins to shift e of the area, IWD will improve to prevailing MVFR this aftn. -SHSN will end at IWD early this evening with MVFR cigs then scattering out or lifting to VFR. At CMX, expect improvement to prevailing MVFR by late aftn with -shsn ending around midnight, though MVFR cigs may hang on thru the night. At SAW, expect improvement to prevailing MVFR early this evening with -shsn ending late tonight, though MVFR cigs will linger. && .MARINE...(For the 4 AM Lake Superior forecast issuance) Issued at 318 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2022 NNW winds around 20 knots with gusts up to 30 kts are expected across Lake Superior through this evening, mainly across the east half. Winds gradually diminish to under 20kt across the west half Tue night then the rest of the lake on Wednesday as high pressure builds. With pressure gradient remaining on the weaker side Thu/Fri, expect winds to remain mostly under 20kt both days. Pressure gradient increases on Saturday with easterly winds increasing above 20 knots across the west half by Saturday afternoon. With an unseasonably cold air mass moving across the area today thru tonight, expect some freezing spray at times across central and eastern Lake Superior. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
