Water Advisory.

* WINDS...Northwest gales to 35 knots early diminishing to 20 to
  30 knots. An occasional gust near 40 knots possible early this
  morning.

* WAVES...3 to 6 feet.

* WATER LEVELS...As of 345 AM the water level at Toledo was 38
  inches above low water datum. This is 14 inches above the
  critical mark for safe navigation. Additional water level
  fluctuations are expected today, but will not dip below the
  critical mark. Therefore the Low Water Advisory has been
  cancelled.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Gale Warning is issued when winds of 34 to 47 knots are
imminent or occurring. Operating a vessel in gale conditions
requires experience and a properly equipped vessel. Mariners
without the proper experience and vessel remain in port or should
seek safe harbor prior to the onset of gale conditions.

A Small Craft Advisory is issued when waves of 4 feet or more are
expected or wind speeds reach 21 to 33 knots which may produce
hazardous conditions to small craft. Inexperienced mariners,
especially those operating smaller vessels, should stay in port
during these conditions.

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 Cleveland, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Oct 16, 3:12 PM EDT, 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 16, 3:12 PM EDT, 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
312 PM EDT Wed Oct 16 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure just east of Lake Huron will move east of the area
tonight.  Another low pressure system will develop off the Carolina
coast tonight and move northeast.  The two low pressure systems will
merge and rapidly intensify.  High pressure will build in from the
west across the local area by the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
A large upper level low pressure system will continue to move east
through the central Great Lakes overnight.  Meanwhile, a trough
extending south and then southeast from the upper level low will
become negatively tilted this evening.  This will accelerate the
development of the Carolina coastal low and move it north along the
Atlantic coast.  The Carolina low will merge with a surface low
pressure system moving east out of Lake Huron.  When the merger
occurs, a massive bomb (low pressure) will develop.  Cyclonic flow
around the surface bomb will extend well west across the Great
Lakes.  This will cause synoptic moisture to stream into the region
tonight into Thursday.  Eventually, high pressure will begin to
build east toward the area and bring with it some drier air to the
western portions of the forecast area tomorrow.  Otherwise, flow
should become well aligned out of the west over Lake Erie and cause
showers to develop and move east across Lake, Ashtabula, and Erie
counties.  A northwest flow develops later tonight and this will
force the moisture and flow south into the higher elevations of
northeast Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania. Latest model soundings
support moderate instability as cold air advection takes place over
the lake.  Inversion extends upward to nearly 10,000 feet and with
synoptic moisture in place, expecting the showers to be persistent
in the lake effect and then transitioning into a multiband/multilake
event by tomorrow.  Some shower activity will occur over the rest of
the forecast area due to the cyclonic flow and a bit of lake
enhancement off Lake Michigan.  Otherwise, with cold air advection
in place, keeping lows tonight in the upper 30s inland central and
southwest and lower 40s elsewhere. Highs tomorrow will recover
slightly back into the lower to middle 50s west and middle 40s to
lower 50s central and east. There is the possibility for some frost
and fog development in the west Thursday night as temperatures drop
into the middle 30s. Residual clouds will persist in the east and
keep lows in the 40s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure will be over the region on Friday with dry conditions
expected. The high will shift east of the area by Saturday morning
with a warming trend starting. A weakening cold front will drift
across the region Saturday night with a couple showers possible.

Friday will be cool and sunny with highs int he 50s. Warmer on
Saturday with highs into the 60s. Friday night will be cool enough
across the east to introduce a mention of frost.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Quiet weather on Sunday with the region between storm systems. A
warm front will lift across the region on Monday as southerly winds
increase. So expect a breezy and warm day. Chances of showers
increase Monday evening and continue into at least Tuesday morning.
We then will attempt to generate some lake effect showers that could
persist into Wednesday. However this is uncertainty about how much
moisture will be located over the region to assist with the shower
development.

In any event it looks to be warm Sunday into Monday with highs into
the 70's for a large portion of the region. Cooler Tuesday into
Wednesday in the wake of the cold front with highs ranging from the
mid 50s to mid 60s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Wednesday THROUGH Monday/...
The cold front that pushed through the local area this morning
is now well east of the region. A trough will swing through the
area overnight and will result in a combination of showers from
the trough and lake enhancement/effect shifting to the northeast
tonight into Thursday. Ceilings will be variable with the
showers that occur along with the moisture wrapping around the
low pressure system moving off to the east. Some improvement
will occur from west to east tomorrow as drier air begins to
work into the region.

.OUTLOOK...Non-VFR likely in lake effect rain showers at/near
KERI through Thursday. These conditions may persist into Friday
morning. Non-VFR possible in showers and thunderstorms Monday.

&&

.MARINE...
West winds have already ramped up in the wake of a cold front with
west winds to 25 knots. Winds increase slightly overnight as an
upper level trough passes. Slightly stronger cold advection in the
wake of the trough will increase winds from Willowick to Ripley to
low end gales that should touch 35 knots. The strongest winds should
occur 04Z through 12Z. Winds decrease Thursday morning but waves and
winds will remain high enough for small craft advisory conditions
into early Friday morning across the east. High pressure takes
control of the region on Friday with lighter winds expected. High
pressure shifts east of the lake by Saturday morning with a return
of a southerly wind.
