The episode as NWS MQT wrote it up.
Heavy rain developing along a cold front tracked west to east across Upper Michigan on the 10th. Strong north winds behind the front caused coastal flooding and erosion along the Lake Superior over portions of west and north central Upper Michigan from the 10th into the 11th. The strong winds also caused a brief power outage and downed a couple of trees in Eagle Harbor.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
347 PM EDT TUE SEP 9 2014
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 344 PM EDT TUE SEP 9 2014
WV IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS INDICATED A SPLIT FLOW PATTERN WITH A
DEVELOPING MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE WRN CONUS. THE TAIL OF AN
ELONGATED SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH NRN ONTARIO WAS DRAGGING A
COLD FRONT SLOWLY SOUTH INTO WRN LAKE SUPERIOR. A VIGOROUS SRN
STREAM SHRTWV MOVING IN THE CNTRL PLAINS WILL SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF
A SFC LOW THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE WRN LAKES WED. EVEN WITH LAKE
BREEZE ONSHORE WINDS INTO WRN UPPER MI...LOW LEVEL CONV HAS NOT BEEN
STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERCOME CAPPING WITH 800-750 MB TEMPS NEAR
12C...PER RUC. OTHERWISE...ABUNDANT CU PREVAILED ACROSS THE WEST
HALF OF UPPER MI WHILE MORE STABLE AIR OFF OF LAKE MI HAS KEPT SKIES
MOSTLY CLEAR OVER THE EAST.
THE POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR SOME SHRA/TSRA THIS EVENING AS THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH WRN UPPER MI. HOWEVER...COVERAGE SHOULD
LIMITED WITH ONLY LOWER END CHANCE POPS GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE
CAPPING.
AS THE PLAINS SHRTWV MOVES TOWARD THE AREA AND THE SFC LOW
DEEPENS...300-310 ISENTROPIC ASCENT ALONG WITH 800-600 MB FGEN WILL
STRENGTHEN AND SUPPORT AN EXPANDING AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN
FROM NW/N WI INTO WRN UPPER MI BY LATE EVENING AND INTO CNTRL UPPER
MI LATE TONIGHT. STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WITH A COUPLED
UPPER LEVEL JET STRUCTURE AND STRONG QVECTOR CONV WILL SUPPORT A
LARGE AREA OF RAIN ACROSS THE CWA WED. SOME MODEL UNCERTAINTY
REMAINS AS THE NAM REMAINS MUCH DEEPER AND FARTHER TO THE NW THAN
MODELS CONSENSUS AND THE GFS FASTER AND ALONG THE SOUTHERN ENVELOPE
OF MODEL SPREAD. FAVORED THE MORE CONSISTENT ECMWF AND REGIONAL GEM
WITH THE LOW PATH TO NEAR GRB BY 18Z AND THE STRAITS BY 00Z/THU.
VERY STRONG 850 MB MOISTURE INFLOW...UPPER LEVEL AND 800-600 MB FGEN
EVEN WITHOUT TSRA WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF HEAVY
RAIN...ESPECIALLY BTWN 09Z-18Z. UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ON THE IMPACT OF
UPSTREAM CONVECTION OVER IA INTO SRN WI ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE
850-700 MB FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND MOISTURE INFLOW TO THE NORTH.
HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR QPF IN THE 1.5 INCH TO 2.0 INCH
RANGE...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS AOA 3 INCHES. SO THE FLOOD WATCH
WILL REMAINS IN EFFECT.
NE WINDS VEERING TO THE NNE WILL ALSO INCREASE WITH GUSTS LIKELY IN
INTO THE 40-50 KNOT RANGE BY TO LATE AFTERNOON OVER THE
KEWEENAW...ESPECIALLY FOR LOCATIONS FAVORED BY NNE FLOW SUCH AS
COPPER HARBOR. AN ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED.
.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM EDT TUE SEP 9 2014
SOME DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN MODELS AT 00Z THU. TWO EXTREMES WITH THE
LOW LOCATION/STRENGTH ARE THE 12Z/09 GFS WITH A 997MB SFC LOW NEAR
CENTRAL LAKE HURON AND THE 12Z/09 NAM WITH A 984MB SFC LOW NEAR
MUNISING. HARD TO JUMP ON BOARD WITH EITHER OF THESE TWO EXTREMES
GIVEN WARM SEASON PROCESSES THAT WILL OCCUR IN THE WARM SECTOR OF
THE LOW...BUT THINK A MIDDLE OF THE GROUND APPROACH IS MORE
REASONABLE. REGARDLESS...STRONG NLY WINDS WILL BE ONGOING ACROSS THE
CWA AT 00Z THU...AND IF THE FARTHER N/STRONGER SOLUTION IS
CORRECT...THE WINDS WOULD BE VERY STRONG. THE HIGH EXTREME OF THE
NAM EVEN HAS 925MB WINDS UP TO 70KTS /POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SFC
GUSTS OF 55-70KTS/ BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z THU...WHICH CAN NOT BE RULED
OUT...BUT MORE MODERATE WINDS ARE EXPECTED. BY 06Z...EVEN THE NAM
HAS THE LOW E OF LAKE SUPERIOR...WITH OTHER MODELS FARTHER SE. BY
12Z THU...925MB WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE BELOW 30KTS...WITH THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXING FASTER DURING THE DAY THU. MOST OF THE
PRECIP WED NIGHT INTO THU WILL BE DUE TO WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND
UPSLOPE FLOW AND SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH INTO THU EVENING.
THU LOOKS TO BE COLDEST DAY IN A WHILE AREA WIDE AS CLOUDY
CONDITIONS PERSIST BEHIND THE SYSTEM AND 850MB TEMPS WILL BE -2C TO
1C...RESULTING IN HIGH TEMPS FROM THE UPPER 40S INTERIOR W TO THE
LOW 50S ELSEWHERE...AND THE CONTINUED BREEZY WINDS WILL ONLY MAKE IT
FEEL COOLER.
GIVEN THE COLD TEMPS...THINK BELOW FREEZING MIN TEMPS THU NIGHT LOOK
FAIRLY LIKELY OVER THE INTERIOR W...WITH A MORE CONDITIONAL CHANCE
FRI NIGHT DEPENDING ON THE CLOUD COVER.
NOT SURE ABOUT PRECIP CHANCES FRI INTO FRI INTO SAT AS MODELS POINT
TO AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING INTO THE REGION OVER SFC HIGH
PRESSURE. ONLY LOW END POPS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST AS THE ECMWF
IS THE ONLY MODEL SHOWING SIGNIFICANT PRECIP ACROSS THE CWA...THE
OTHER MODELS HAVE A WEAKER WAVE AND LESS MOISTURE. 850MB TEMPS
REMAIN MOSTLY THE SAME THROUGH SAT AT AROUND 0C...BUT CLOUD COVER
SHOULD BE LOWER EACH FRI AND ESPECIALLY SAT...SO HIGHS WILL WARM
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 50S BE SAT.
POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER WAVE ON SUN AND MAYBE YET ANOTHER ON MON AS A
RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE WRN CONUS AND A TROUGH ACROSS THE ERN CONUS.
EVEN LOWER CONFIDENCE ON PRECIP WITH THESE FEATURES AS MOISTURE WILL
BE LIMITED AS THE TRACK/STRENGTH OF THE ENERGY IS UNCERTAIN. TEMPS
DO LOOK TO INCREASE BUT WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 132 PM EDT TUE SEP 9 2014
A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH IWD/CMX DURING THE
AFTERNOON...AND A WIND SHIFT TO THE NNE WITH THE ARRIVAL OF SOME
SHALLOW COOL AIR OFF LAKE SUPERIOR COULD BRING SOME MVFR CLDS INTO THOSE
LOCATIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON. THERE COULD BE A -SHRA OR PERHAPS
EVEN TS AT MAINLY IWD WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT DURING PEAK
HEATING...BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE A SPECIFIC MENTION. AS
A STRONGER DISTURBANCE MOVES NEWD AND THE MOIST LYR DEEPENS...RAIN
WILL DEVELOP FROM SW TO NE AND CAUSE CONDITIONS AT IWD/CMX TO DROP TO
IFR BY LATE EVENING. SINCE THE FROPA WILL OCCUR LATER AT SAW...THE
TRANSITION TO MVFR WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL LATER IN THE FCST PERIOD. BY
LATE TONIGHT INTO WED MORNING LIFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH
MODERATE TO OCNLY HEAVY RAIN.

.MARINE...(FOR THE 4 PM LAKE SUPERIOR FORECAST ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 344 PM EDT TUE SEP 9 2014
THE TROUGH STRETCHED ACROSS W LAKE SUPERIOR WILL DRIFT ACROSS LAKE
SUPERIOR THIS EVENING AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. THE LOW WILL BE OVER E IOWA BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY...AND
CONTINUE TO PUSH TO NRN LOWER MI BY WED EVENING...BEFORE EXITING
INTO QUEBEC ON THURSDAY. NORTHEAST GALES TO AROUND 40KTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY MORNING OVER W LAKE SUPERIOR...BEFORE SLOWLY
EXPANDING TO CENTRAL LAKE SUPERIOR WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS WINDS BACK TO THE NORTH. LARGE HIGH PRESSURE OVER
S ALBERTA AND SASKATCHEWAN THURSDAY WILL SINK ACROSS THE N AND
CENTRAL PLAINS...WHILE BUILDING A RIDGE ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY WITH WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 20KTS
OR LESS.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 344 PM EDT TUE SEP 9 2014
RAINFALL TOTALS FROM TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACROSS UPPER MI
RANGE FROM JUST OVER 1.5 TO LOCALLY 3 INCHES. UNCERTAINTY REMAINS
WHERE THE HEAVIER BANDS OF RAIN WILL DEVELOP. HIGHER TOTALS INTO WED
NIGHT ARE EXPECTED FOR LOCATIONS IN N CNTRL UPPER MI WHERE STRONG
UPSLOPE FLOW WILL BOOST RAINFALL AMOUNTS. THE FLOOD WATCH REMAINS
POSTED FOR MUCH OF W AND CENTRAL UPPER MI.
EXPECT THE TRADITIONAL URBAN/SMALL STREAM FLOODING TO BE A
SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY IN THE TYPICAL POOR DRAINAGE AREAS OF ESC IF
A PERIOD OF HEAVIER DOWNPOURS DEVELOP WITH RAINFALL RATES CLOSE TO
AN 0.5-1.0 INCH PER HOUR.
