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 Milwaukee, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Oct 15, 3:31 AM CDT, 1 minute earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
331 AM CDT Tue Oct 15 2019
.DISCUSSION...
Today and Tonight...Forecast Confidence is Medium...
Another upper level low will continue to barrel into northern
Wisconsin today, which will bring some PVA in addition to the low
pressure system expected to push through. This system will be
associated with plenty of low to mid level moisture as well as
some strong WAA. This should bring some isolated to scattered
showers this morning mainly across the northern parts of the CWA.
There also is some potential for a few weak thunderstorms with a
little CAPE nudging into southern Wisconsin as well.
The other concern with this system will be strong winds, which
will pick up this morning initially from the south but as the
front pushes through this afternoon winds will turn to the west.
The pressure gradient behind this system will be quite strong,
which will actually cause winds to increase quite a bit from this
afternoon through the overnight period and into Wednesday morning.
Wednesday and Wednesday night...Forecast confidence is high.
Strong northwest winds will continue into Wednesday as the low
pulls off to the east and high pressure pushes in from the west.
The rather steep low level lapse rate will allow for some deep
mixing and gusty winds. The strongest winds will be in the
morning, with a few gusts pushing 35 mph at times. The winds will
diminish quickly as evening approaches. The wrap around moisture
should be extensive, so it looks cloudy and rather chilly.
Winds settle down Wednesday night with some frost expected late.
Thursday and Friday...Forecast confidence is high.
An impressive mid level ridge will slide through the region during
the period. The surface high will push east by Friday as a strong
low pressure system lifts northeast through the Northern Plains,
heading for the Manitoba/Ontario, Canada border Friday evening.
This will allow warmer southerly winds to kick in for Friday. This
will be the nicest stretch of the week.
Saturday...Forecast confidence is medium.
A cold front trailing from that low up in Canada will sweep
through the area. A decent thermal ridge ahead of the front,
coupled with precipitable water climbing to 1-1.2 inches should
help to produce a band of showers. The GFS suggests it may just be
a morning event, while the ECMWF is most of the day. That timing
will get worked out as the weekend approaches.
Sunday...Forecast confidence is medium.
We should see a brief period of ridging, resulting in a mostly dry
day across southern Wisconsin. There isn't much in the way of cold
air advection behind the front, so we should still warm into the
lower and mid 60s.
Monday and Tuesday...Forecast confidence is medium.
The models have been consistent in showing a rather energetic
system digging into the northern tier of the CONUS Sunday night
into Monday. There is quite a bit of difference in the mid levels
between the ECMWF and the GFS. The ECMWF depicts a potent closed
mid level circulation over northern MN Monday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the GFS maintains more of a large scale open wave. We
should see a decent round of rain and possible thunderstorms
Monday in either scenario. If it remains progressive, drier and
colder weather should be pushing in by Tuesday.
&&
.AVIATION(09Z TAFS)...
VFR conditions will continue this morning. A few showers may
accompany a frontal boundary as it slips through during the
morning and early afternoon. An isolated t-storm can not be ruled
out as well. Have delayed the MVFR cold air stratocumulus until
later in the afternoon/early evening.
&&
.MARINE...
Winds will strengthen this morning initially from the south,
however will switch to the west as the front passes through by the
afternoon. This will yield a Small Craft Advisory for the whole
day through much of the evening and overnight period. The
pressure gradient on the backside of the low pressure will be very
strong thus strengthening winds overnight through much Wednesday.
This will yield Gale force gusts across the lake, including the
nearshore, Wednesday morning. The nearshore Gale Warning will
likely end around 19z with the open water Gale Warning lasting
through 00z Thursday. Another Small Craft Advisory will be needed
after the expiration of the Gale Warning in the nearshore.
