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 29, 12:00 AM AKDT, 9 hours 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 29, 12:00 AM AKDT, 9 hours 10 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM ADT MON AUG 29 2005

.DISCUSSION...
BERING LOW MOVING ON SHORE NEAR NORTON SOUND THIS MORNING. MAIN
FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM YAKUTAT TO ADAK. MAINLAND ZONES ARE
INTO THE SHOWERS BEHIND THE FRONT. LOW CLOUDS ALONG THE ALEUTIANS AND
IN THE BERING WITH 25 TO 40 MPH WINDS NOT UNCOMMON. LOW WILL WEAKEN
AS IT MOVES ACROSS ALASKA. CLOUDS AND SOME SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO
MID WEEK. A SMALL RIDGE DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM LATE
WEDNESDAY AND MAKES ITS WAY FROM THE WEST COAST TO SOUTHCENTRAL
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.  COLD AIR BEHIND THIS SYSTEM WILL SPILL OVER
WESTERN ZONES WEDNESDAY AND BRUSH SOUTHCENTRAL THURSDAY MORNING.
TODAYS MODELS DONT RECOVER THE TEMPS AS QUICKLY AS PREVIOUS RUNS. BY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON THE NEXT SYSTEM IS BRUSHING THE WEST COAST...BUT
SOUTHCENTRAL LOOKS TO BE IN STORE FOR A NICE START TO THE WEEKEND
UNDER THE MINI RIDGE. EXTENDED MODELS WANT TO TRACK THE NEXT SEVERAL
LOWS ALONG THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN AND INTO THE GULF. SEEMS A LITTLE EARLY
IN THE SEASON TO GET THAT PATTERN GOING AND THE 500 MB WAVE PATTERN
BEYOND 168 HOURS IS QUESTIONABLE. WAIT AND SEE.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
