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.

Area forecast discussion, May 13, 9:00 AM AKDT, 2 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 200 PM ADT FRI MAY 13 2005 .DISCUSSION... THE REMAINDER OF THE OLD UPPER RIDGE LIES ACROSS THE BROOKS RANGE TODAY AND CONTINUES TO WEAKEN. AN UPPER LOW WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY OF THE GULF OF ALASKA THROUGH 120 HOURS WHICH WILL BE THE DOMINATING FACTOR FOR THE EASTERN FORECAST DOMAIN AND WILL AFFECT THE WESTERN DOMAIN. ON THE SURFACE THIS AFTERNOON A SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO TRACK TO THE NORTHWEST ACROSS THE GULF OF ALASKA AND SHOULD CROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA OVERNIGHT. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES ACROSS THE INTERIOR. BETWEEN THE LOWS IS A WEAK RIDGE WHICH IS CREATING A MINOR WIND PROBLEM FOR SECTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA. MODELS...MODEL PREFERENCE IS BASED ON THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS TODAY. THE LOW NEAR KODIAK ISLAND THIS AFTERNOON SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE BY THE GFS WITH POSITION AND TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT MOVES INTO THE SOUTHWEST COAST LATER THIS WEEKEND. THE SYSTEMS IN THE EASTERN AND SOUTHERN GULF SEEM BEST HANDLED BY THE UKMET WHICH THE ETA FOLLOWS ALONG PRETTY CLOSE WITH. WILL SIDE WITH THE UKMET/ETA AND BRING A SURFACE LOW TO MIDDLETON ISLAND BY 54 HOURS. THE INTERIOR WILL KEEP THE TROUGH NORTH OF THE RANGE THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE GFS LOOKS BETTER IN THE WEST KEEPING NORTH FLOW OVER THE BERING SEA WITH VERY COOL AND BREEZY CONDITIONS FOR THE PERIOD. THE JET SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF THE CHAIN KEEPING THE NORTH PACIFIC SYSTEM FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN. FIRE WEATHER...FOR THE GAPS OF THE CHUGACH TODAY WE ARE LOOKING AT A BORDERLINE SITUATION FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS. IN THE MAT VALLEY TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING BEHIND WITH CLOUDY SKIES...HOWEVER THE LATEST SAT PIX SHOW SOME BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST WHICH COULD BRING HEATING TO THE SURFACE TO DRY OUT THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS AND MIX DOWN THE GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON. FOR THE ANCHORAGE HILLSIDE MID LEVEL OVERCAST HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES DOWN TODAY AND THE NOSE OF THE NORTH GULF COAST RIDGE SEEMS TO BE DISPLACED SOUTH OF THE ARM. THE GUSTY CONDITIONS ARE SHOWING UP OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA TODAY INSTEAD. WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH AND WAIT. A CLEARING PATCH IS GROWING OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA AND HINTS OVER THE ANCHORAGE BOWL COULD BRING TEMPS UP ENOUGH AND ANY MOVEMENT OF THE SURFACE COULD BRING THE GUSTY WINDS UP LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WILL PUT THE RED FLAG INTO A HOLDING PATTERN AND SEE HOW THE AFTERNOON DEVELOPS BEFORE MAKING ANY DRASTIC MOVES FOR THE BOWL. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE 2B 3A. FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG WARNING 101 111. PROTON MAY 05
