What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Baltimore/Washington wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Oct 10, 3:01 PM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 10, 3:01 PM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
301 PM EDT Wed Oct 10 2018

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front will cross the area late Thursday
night. Hurricane Michael is expected to pass southeast of the
area early Friday morning. An upper-level disturbance will pass
through Friday night into early Saturday followed by high
pressure for the rest of the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

Showers will continue to increase this afternoon as moisture
associated with Hurricane Michael advects north on SSE flow.
As heights fall in advance of longwave trough to the west and
approach from Michael and moisture deepens expect showers to
become heavier late tonight into Thu.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

Cold front approaching from the west will be interacting with
moisture associated with what is expected to be Tropical Storm
Michael. Widespread showers, some of them moderate to heavy,
are expected all day Thu into Thu evening with total rainfall
amounts of 1 to 3 inches with heaviest over St. Marys county
with less than inch NW of the metro areas toward western MD.
Given high 6-hr FFG over 4 inches, a flood watch does not appear
necessary. Rain will begin to end from NW to SE Thu evening and
should be out of the area Fri morning. Gusty NW winds will occur
behind front late Thu night with 6-hr period of gusts of 35-45
mph.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

Upper level flow forecast to be zonal through the extended forecast
period. Thus, looking for several weaker, transitory systems over
the time frame.

Shortwave energy will be ejecting on Saturday; any precipitation
chances will come during the morning/midday hours. High pressure
will follow Saturday night into Sunday morning.  Return flow/warm
advection ensuing by afternoon with precipitation possible by night
fall. However, not all guidance sets in synch with the precipitation
layout; thus, PoPs will be low. The attendant cold front would be
through sometime on Monday...again with timing differences between
GFS/ECMWF. Such a sequence suggests that Tuesday would be a day of
high pressure, but with another shortwave/jet max lurking across the
Great Lakes and recognizing timing variabilities of such a pattern,
confidence slightly on the lower side.

Temperatures likely to be on the cooler side. The warmest day, with
near normal temperatures, will come on Monday before cold frontal
passage.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

Cigs becoming MVFR late tonight with frequent showers. MVFR cigs with
showers persist through Thu evening. Abrupt wind shift expected
with fropa late Thu night and gusts 30-35 kt for about a 6-hr
period due to pressure surge. Gusty winds 25-30 kt Fri
diminishing Fri night.

No sig wx Fri through Mon.

&&

.MARINE...

Winds expected to strengthen tonight in southerly flow. There
could be a drop/lull in winds Thu before they strengthen again
late Thu night. A Gale Warning has been issued for late Thu
night which may need to be extended into Fri morning. Otherwise, SCA
conditions are likely to persist through Saturday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...

Minor coastal flooding is expected through Thu evening as
southerly flow strengthens and water levels rise. Blowout tides
expected Fri under a strong NW flow.

&&
