What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale watch 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 gale watch went out at Oct 2, 3:34 AM EDT, 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 2, 3:34 AM EDT, 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
334 AM EDT Tue Oct 2 2018

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 333 AM EDT Tue Oct 2 2018

...Unsettled Weather Continues...

High Impact Weather Potential: None through tonight.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Overnight composite analysis reveals a
split flow regime and cut-off low just off the west coast with the
southern branch of the upper jet arcing back into the northern
Rockies then down into the Midwest. Loosely coupled upper jet
structure is moving across the Great Lakes with an associated
short-wave impulse crossing lower Michigan. At the surface, low
pressure is over southern Lake Michigan with it's attending warm
front across far southern lower Michigan. Combined upper dynamics,
strong low-mid level deformation and f-gen response north of the
front continues to produce a decent swath of rainfall sliding
through lower Michigan early this morning. The more widespread
rainfall has pushed east of northern lower MI, although some
showers/low clouds and drizzle linger.

Primary Forecast Concerns: Drizzle/cloud trends today. More
rainfall returns late tonight.

Short-wave and mid level deformation forcing presses east of the
region this morning with lingering shower activity thinning across
northern lower Michigan. Still plenty of deep low level moisture/
clouds around for a good part of the day and forecast soundings
suggest drizzle will probably be a thing through at least midday
or so, particularly across the higher terrain areas of northern
lower MI. But high pressure building into the region and drier
air pressing in from the north will probably bring a N-S thinning
trend to the cloud cover later this afternoon and heading into
tonight.

A lull in the weather anticipated for much of tonight, while
surface high pressure edges off to the east. Meanwhile, northern
branch short-wave energy in SW Canada early this morning, will dig
into the northern Rockies overnight and gin up low pressure in
the northern Plains. Ensuing strong low level flow will bow the
front back northward into the upper Midwest during the overnight
hours and produce another expanding batch of showers/thunderstorms
that will just reach the western parts of the CWA toward Wednesday
morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Wednesday through Thursday)
Issued at 333 AM EDT Tue Oct 2 2018

...Warm with shower and thunderstorm chances; turning cooler
Thursday...

High Impact Weather Potential...Thunderstorms possible Wednesday
afternoon into Wednesday night.

A deepening area of low pressure will pass by to our northwest
bringing more showers Wednesday and even the possibility of some
thunderstorm activity to the area Wednesday night. Winds aloft are
rather stout with 0-6 km bulk shear of 40 to 50 knots. However,
fairly stable low levels will make it difficult to mix any of this
wind down. It still looks like there will be a break in the action
Thursday as high pressure temporarily builds in. A mild southerly
flow out ahead of the low pressure system is expected to lead to
much warmer conditions Wednesday before cooling off Thursday behind
a surface cold front that moves through early in the day.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Monday)
Issued at 333 AM EDT Tue Oct 2 2018

...Still unsettled but turning unseasonably warm...

High Impact Weather Potential...None expected.

The pattern remains rather active with additional weather systems
likely continuing to bring more rainfall at times. Remaining on the
cool side Friday with some warming Saturday followed by some cooling
Sunday. Temperatures then look like they will rise to well above
normal levels for the beginning and middle of next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1112 PM EDT Mon Oct 1 2018

The system pushing across the southern Great Lakes overnight,
will eventually exit east of the Lakes Tuesday, generating
easterly winds across northern Michigan TAF site through Tuesday
afternoon. The area of rain which overspread northern Michigan
earlier in the evening, will diminish west to east across northern
Michigan overnight. Expect MVFR conds, possibly some IFR cigs, to
continue through Tuesday, as soundings show saturated low and mid
level mstr lingering into Tuesday afternoon. Also, current
surface obs showing MVFR/IFR cigs extending as far west as Wis and
Minnesota.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 333 AM EDT Tue Oct 2 2018

Gusty easterly winds will continue to produce small craft
advisory winds/waves today on Lakes Michigan and Huron.
Winds/waves diminish tonight. But, another storm system will bring
increasing winds veering into the S/SW heading into Wednesday.
Another round of small craft advisories is likely for all areas
starting Wednesday afternoon...and gale force gusts are possible
on Lake Michigan Wednesday night into Thursday.
