What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Nov 5, 3:26 AM EDT, 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 5, 3:26 AM EDT, 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Gaylord MI
326 AM EDT Fri Nov 5 2021

.NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight)
Issued at 327 AM EDT Fri Nov 5 2021

...Becoming breezier this afternoon and tonight...

High Impact Weather Potential: Gustier sw winds developing,
especially near Lake MI.

High pressure extends from central IN to upstate NY and northern New
England. A broad area of warm advection is found nw of the high, all
the way to low pressure in the southern Canadian high prairie.
Low-level warm advection is already present here, and the
pressure gradient will tighten somewhat into tonight. This will
result in much milder wx, though with enough wind to keep things
feeling cooler.

The pressure gradient, while reasonably tight by late today, is not
overly so. We have enough cloud cover, and the shorter days/lower
sun angle, to limit mixing over land to a certain degree. Gusts of
circa 25mph will be common enough over land this afternoon and
tonight. It will be gustier near the coasts, with water temps in the
low-mid 50s per the buoys maintaining shallow instability for a
while. Gusts to near 40mph are possible along the immediate Lake MI
coast in both peninsulas, mainly tonight. Somewhat less windy in
other coastal locales.

Areas of stratocu are seen in much of northern lower MI, and over
the eastern tip of upper MI, as well as in the GRB area. Area 00Z
soundings, and the cloud trends mentioned above, all argue for a
respectable amount of low-level moisture in place. Diurnal heating
will thus result in quick development of shallower stratocu this
morning, especially in the north half of the forecast area. That
trend should hold into the afternoon and evening, with more clouds
north than south. There's definitely enough cloud cover to hold us
back on warming surface temps today. Highs will be near 50f to the
lower 50s.

Tonight, the well-upstream surface low will fill somewhat as it
crosses central Manitoba. A negatively-tilted 500mb trof will race
toward western Superior late. Moisture availability this far south
is more questionable than further north in Canada. But the shot of
mid-level dynamics and abrupt steepening of lapse rates aloft should
support elevated convection to our nw. Whether precip can get this
far east by 12Z is the question; there's a layer of dry air between
5k and 10k ft that will take some work to erode. The Ecmwf is
probably most aggressive in bringing a few showers to western areas.
In deference, will maintain and expand the mention of a slight
chance for a shower overnight across much of eastern upper MI, and
into Beaver Isl.

Breezy enough for milder min temps tonight. Coldest readings (near
Gladwin and W Branch) will be near freezing. Meanwhile, the Lake MI
coastline will hover in the low-mid 40s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Saturday through Sunday)
Issued at 327 AM EDT Fri Nov 5 2021

High Impact Weather Potential...None.

High pressure over the eastern half of the CONUS will continue to
dominate northern Michigan's weather, but not without some nuisance
type precipitation possible from WAA on southerly winds Saturday and
Saturday night. Only slight chance pops for now, with some models a
bit more aggressive than others. But with said high pressure in
place, anti-cyclonic flow, borderline moisture, and not very good
synoptic forcing...not much anticipated...if any. Breezy
southwesterly winds will diminish in intensity throughout the day
Saturday as the gradient loosens as a weak wave departs to the
northeast and high pressure continues to build over the forecast
area, but with gusts still around 20 mph possible during the
afternoon hours Saturday. Sunday will see partly cloudy skies and
warmer temperatures as a southwesterly flow still advects warmer air
into the region with the center of the high pressure off to our
south-southeast.

Temperatures will be warmer...around 50 degrees during the daytime
hours Saturday and warm by about 10 degrees more for Sunday.
Overnight temperatures will drop into the upper 30s to near 40
Saturday night.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 327 AM EDT Fri Nov 5 2021

High Impact Weather Potential...None.

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...A large area of high pressure over the
southeast CONUS will continue to dominate northern Michigan's
weather and build even further into the forecast area and provide
quiet weather for the foreseeable future. There are some hints at a
weak system developing around the beginning of the next work week,
but even if that does impact the forecast area, it should be fairly
benign. Highs are forecast to be above normal for this time of the
year...possibly reaching the 60 degree mark once again on Monday and
cool a bit each day, before reaching only into the upper 40s to near
50 by Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 1050 PM EDT Thu Nov 4 2021

High pressure will move off to our east increasing the surface
pressure gradient leading to gusty southwest winds Friday
afternoon and Friday night. Cigs/Vsbys are expected to remain VFR
but a patch or two of fog could briefly lead to MVFR or even IFR
conditions through sunrise.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 327 AM EDT Fri Nov 5 2021

Sw winds will increase today, as high pressure moves away from the
southern and eastern Great Lakes. Highest winds/waves into tonight
will be on Lake MI. Gale warnings will be issued for our NSH
waters on Lake MI north of Pt Betsie, not including Gd Trav Bay or
the Straits. Gale force gusts are mainly possible tonight. Small
craft advisories on all other waters today into Saturday.
