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 Jan 21, 3:23 AM EST, 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 21, 3:23 AM EST, 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
323 AM EST Tue Jan 21 2020
.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 323 AM EST Tue Jan 21 2020
High Impact Weather Potential: None.
Strong high pressure is in the MO/IA/IL border region early this
morning. Warm advection is well underway at 850mb, but shallow
cool air is in place both here and upstream (single digit temps
above and below zero across WI and western upper MI). Thus, we are
still generating lake-effect clouds and a few flurries, though
these are dwindling.
1000-850mb winds are wnw and backing, on the way to w by daybreak.
The high will gradually advance up the OH Valley thru tonight, and
will be centered over WV by Wednesday morning. As this happens, our
winds will slowly back to the sw-wsw, with most of this additional
backing occurring this afternoon and evening. Warm advection will
strengthen as sub-850mb winds increase. 850mb temps should be very
slightly above 0C across all of northern MI by Wed morning.
Inversion heights are sliding beneath 2k feet early this morning,
and aren't going to go any higher. The chilly surface air on the
other side of Lake Mi may contribute to some lake clouds as late
as early afternoon. But the flurry threat is being eliminated,
and as BL temps rise today here and upstream, any delta Ts will be
wiped out. That said, this still means trending the forecast
considerably cloudier than earlier expected, in particular for n
central lower MI, and east of I-75 in eastern upper.
For tonight, partly cloudy to mostly clear conditions will be seen,
cloudiest in eastern upper MI at the end of a long marine fetch.
Overnight, mid- and upper-level clouds will increase in deep warm
advection.
Max temps today will be in the upper 20s to around 30f. Min temps
tonight will not drop much near Lake MI (mid 20s), while colder
locales (especially near Saginaw Bay) may dip into the upper teens.

.SHORT TERM...(Wednesday through Thursday)
Issued at 323 AM EST Tue Jan 21 2020
...A weak system brings increasing chances for light snow...
High Impact Weather...None is expected.
Forecast Concerns...Pops and snow amounts.
A strung out trough will crawl across the region through the period
along with some wind. This will lead to increasing chances for some
light precipitation (best chances across eastern upper and northwest
lower). Looking at model soundings, this should fall in the form of
light snow with possible accumulations of generally up to an inch
and perhaps even two (mainly across eastern upper). If moisture
turns out to be too shallow (i.e. doesn't reach up to -10C) then
there could be a little drizzle or freezing drizzle but chances of
this occurring appear to be on the low side. Temperatures will be
several degrees above normal...generally in the lower and mid 30s
during the day and in the 20s at night.

...Monitoring a storm which is likely to move by to our south...
High Impact Weather...None is expected at this time.
Forecast Concerns...Pops through the period.
A very slow moving system likely tracks by to our south. Extended
models vary on just how far north moisture and precipitation (likely
in the form of snow) will get. So we will continue to monitor this
system and only have chance pops with perhaps a sliver of likely
pops across far southeast zones in the forecast for now. Arctic air
remains way up across the far northern territories of Canada and
there is not any indication that it will move toward northern
Michigan anytime soon so the mild temperatures are expected to
continue through the period.
