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 Gaylord, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Oct 10, 9:42 PM EDT, 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 10, 9:42 PM EDT, 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
942 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 942 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2019

The end of our run of delightful wx looms. Cold front extends
from far northern Ontario across MN/IA/MO. A more efficient mid-
level moisture tap is pushing cloud cover into nw lower MI. Virga
arcs from GRR to GRB, with some actual showers near/e of MKE.
Clouds will continue to thicken from sw to ne. An initial
sprinkle is possible near MBL as soon as very late evening, but
better chances of more substantial precip will arrive at MBL
toward 4-5am, and perhaps CAD/TVC toward 8am.

Some fine-tuning to precip, primarily to slow precip onset a
smidge.

&&

.NEAR TERM...(Through Tonight)
Issued at 216 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2019

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...

A few on-shore clouds this morning have since dissipated across
northeastern lower as mid-level clouds filter in across the CWA. A
ridge of high pressure extending westward from Quebec and New
England  has held on across much of the CWA through the early
afternoon; however, high-res models show this feature slowly moving
eastward as an advancing shortwave across the plains continues to
push towards the Great Lakes. Flow remains parallel to most of the
gradients through this afternoon and evening, which will keep most
showers out of the cwa, with increasing clouds being the only impact
through midnight.

For tonight, theta-e advection slowly picks up as trough and front
axis pivot eastward. Best chance for showers pick up after 06Z
tonight across the SW portion of the CWA, slowly advancing eastward
into the morning. Winds tonight will remain gusty across the western
portions of the CWA along the gradient, with some decoupling across
the eastern portions winds may relax a little bit more. Temps will
remain a little warmer with increasing cloud cover and winds not
falling off. Expect lows in the low 50s in the west with upper 40s
in the east, eastern upper will remain right near 50.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Friday through Friday Night)
Issued at 249 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2019

...Cold Front, Gusty Winds, and Rain Friday....

High Impact Weather Potential...Minor Lakeshore Flooding

Primary Forecast Concerns...Gusty Winds and Lingering PoPs.

A powerful shortwave and associated cold front will be across
Northern Minnesota Friday morning with a trough and cold front
extending south parallel to Lake Michigan. Theta-e advection ahead
of the cold front is helping lead to PWATs reaching upwards of 1.5
inches across parts of the CWA. Q-vector conv remains along the
front in the morning, slowly moving eastward as upper low continues
to wrap-up. As it stands, the best forcing does not move into
Northern Lower until the mid afternoon, so expect PoPs to mirror
that. As the trough swings through in the afternoon, pressure falls
intensify as a 40-50 kt LLJ moves through the CWA. Periodic gusts up
to 30 mph are possible for both Upper and Northern Lower Michigan.
These gusts may lead to minor lakeshore flooding as waves build 6 to
8 feet across Lake Huron late Friday afternoon into Saturday. After
the fropa, 850 temps fall to near -6C with westerly winds along the
western lower Michigan, which may lead to lingering lake-effect
showers into Saturday morning.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 237 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2019

...Generally Cool and Showery...

High Impact Weather...None is expected.

An unsettled weather pattern is generally expected through the
period. In response to a shortwave digging from Alberta into the
northern Rockies/northern Plains, the closed low over Lake Superior
on Sunday will lift ne into Quebec by Mon night into early Tue and
be replaced by weak ridging and a brief drying period over the
western Great Lakes. The Plains shortwave will then move across our
region late Tue into Wed, followed perhaps by another clipper
shortwave on Thu as some models suggest. So in short, other than
brief drying Mon night into early Tue, the extended period of the
forecast looks cool and unsettled with period of showers. With fcst
soundings showing wet bulb zero heights of 1000 ft or less, it may
even be possibly cold enough to support some wet snow showers inland
at times, especially over the higher terrain, but with minimal to
no accumulation expected.

Daytime temperatures will be 10 to 15 degrees below seasonal

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 727 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2019

Worsening flying wx late tonight and Friday.

It has been a great week, but changes are on the way, thanks to
low pressure over the northern plains/upper MS Valley. High clouds
are steadily filtering in from the sw. Clouds will thicken and
lower, and rain will reach MBL and perhaps TVC in the overnight
hours. Rain will gradually expand ne-ward Friday, with cigs/vsbys
lowering with time. MBL/TVC will see IFR conditions arrive in the
afternoon, with PLN/APN becoming MVFR.

Se winds will increase tonight and especially Friday. LLWS at
times late tonight and Friday, see TAFs for details.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 249 PM EDT Thu Oct 10 2019

Over the next few days, a ridge of high pressure will slowly exit
as a low pressure system and associated trough advance eastward.
The pressure gradient tightens with pressure falls increasing,
expect gusty winds upwards of 30 kts at times late Friday
afternoon into Friday night. Winds become SW on Saturday,
remaining gusty through Monday as an upper-level low remains over
