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 Anchorage, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Aug 25, 12:00 AM AKDT, 3 hours 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 25, 12:00 AM AKDT, 3 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 500 AM ADT THU AUG 25 2005 .DISCUSSION... SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOWS THAT THE PATTERN HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY FROM THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. THE LONG WAVE TROUGH HAS MOVED TO THE EAST AND IS NOW POSITIONED OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE STATE. MEANWHILE A SHORTWAVE RIDGE HAS MOVED OVER THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION WHILE ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS MOVING ONTO THE WEST COAST. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE JET HAS REPOSITIONED ITSELF ON A WEST EAST AXIS. THIS SHIFT IN THE LONGWAVE PATTERN INDICATES THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL TAKE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TRACK THAN THE MOST RECENT SYSTEM. UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWS WEAK DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW IN THE BERING. THE 850MB CHART SHOWS SOME TEMPERATURE ADVECTION BUT THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGHS AT 500MB AND 300MB ARE MINOR INDICATING THAT THE SYSTEM WILL DOES NOT HAVE THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT TO STRENGTHEN SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. IN SPITE OF THE LACK OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT THE GRADIENT AT THE SURFACE IS TIGHT AND WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW ARE MODERATE. ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE MID AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS DIMINISHING BY THURSDAY EVENING. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE AS THE SURFACE RIDGE MOVES OVERHEAD ALTHOUGH LOW CLOUDS ARE ALWAYS A PROBLEM WITH STABLE CONDITIONS IN THE BERING. FOR THE MAINLAND THE SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE SOUTHERN SECTION OF THE AK PENINSULA BRINGING RAIN TO BRISTOL BAY BUT HAVING LITTLE EFFECT ON THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND DELTA. IN THE EASTERN ZONES MORNING FOG IS A CONCERN AFTER SKIES HAVE SCATTERED OUT OVERNIGHT. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO SKIRT THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE. THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE KENAI PENINSULA AND THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WILL SEE SOME SHOWERS BUT EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS NORTHWARD. DISCUSSION...THE GFS HAS BEEN FORECASTING THE CHANGE IN THE LONGWAVE PATTERN FOR TWO TO THREE DAYS SO IT IS TRENDING RATHER WELL. ETA HAS PICKED UP ON THIS TREND AND NOW SHOWS THE SAME SOLUTION FOR THE NEXT WEEK SO THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT TRACKWISE. THE GFS IS RUNNING SLIGHTLY STRONGER WITH THE SYSTEM BUT SEEMS TO BE VERIFYING WITH CURRENT OBSERVATIONS. OVERALL GFS LOOKS BEST. EXTENDED FORECAST...THE RIDGE THAT IS CURRENTLY OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC SHIFTS EASTWARD AND BEGINS TO AFFECT THE MAINLAND. THIS WILL BRING GOOD WEATHER TO MOST ZONES FOR THE WEEKEND. AT THE END OF PERIOD A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAKES LANDFALL NEAR THE SEWARD PENINSULA. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO EVENTUALLY MOVE INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA BY TUESDAY. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE MARINE...GALE WARNING 155 170 172 179 FIRE WEATHER...NONE LEW AUG 05
