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 Anchorage, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Jan 10, 6:30 AM AKST, 4 hours 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 10, 6:30 AM AKST, 4 hours 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHWEST ALASKA
1130 AM AST MON JAN 10 2005

.DISCUSSION...
ANALYSIS - THE MAJOR UPPER HIGH THAT IS EFFECTIVELY BLOCKING FOR OUR
GIGANTIC FORECAST AREA HAS AN UPPER RIDGE THAT IS EXTENDING FURTHER
INTO SIBERIA AND SUPPORTING A 1053 MB HIGH CELL THERE. AT 12Z THERE
REMAINED A 1012 MB LOW IN THE EASTERN GULF. THIS HAS SET UP A STRONG
SURFACE PRES GRADIENT ALONG THE N GULF COAST. THE WNW JET AT 250 MB
IS SLOWLY MOVING OVER ANCHORAGE THANKS TO THE STRONG UPPER LOW THAT
PERSISTS NEAR BANKS ISLAND. A VERY STRONG SUBTROPICAL JET BEGINS OVER
EGYPT AND OVER THE N PACIFIC 30-35N WITH AN EXIT NEAR HAWAII THEN
PICKS UP AGAIN INTO CALIFORNIA. THE CORE SPEED SOUTH OF JAPAN IS 160
KT AS PER PIREPS. THIS SUPPORTS A STRONG UPPER CENTER NEAR SAKHLIN
ISL WITH A SURFACE COMPLEX IN THE WESTERN BERING SEA.

EAST FORECASTS - COLD AIR AND MIXING HAS BEEN A REAL PROBLEM SO FAR
IN HITTING THE DETAILS OF THE FORECASTS. ONE HAS TO FORECAST STRONGER
SURFACE AND GAP WINDS IN THE PRESENCE OF THIS GRADIENT AND THE JET
OVER IT. WE WILL HOLD ONTO ALL OF THIS WIND AND TEMP CONTRAST THROUGH
TUE. BY 18Z THU THE CURVED ANTICYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT BECOMES SW OVER
MUCH OF THE AREA WITH ONSHORE FLOW FOR KODIAK. THE GFS-190 INSISTS
THAT THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME LONG FETCH SOUTHERLY OVER THE ENTIRE
AREA BY 00Z SAT BUT THE ECMWF SEZ THAT THE UPPER RIDGE PERSISTS.
FORECASTING A LONGER LASTING UPPER RIDGE IS PROBABLY THE WAY TO GO
BUT REAL DIFFICULT TO PUT INTO THE FIELDS FOR IFPS.

WEST FORECASTS - OFFSHORE LOW LEVEL FLOW PERSISTS FOR THE MAINLAND
AREAS AND WILL HOLD THROUGH TUE. THE GFS-190 DEVELOPS A 992 MB LOW
NEAR ADAK 00Z WED WHICH IS PROBABLY OK WITH A WARM FRONT ALMOST TO
KODIAK. BECAUSE THE ARCTIC HIGH PERSISTS THE STRONG SURFACE PRES
GRADIENT IS REMAINING ABOVE 60N. YOU HAVE TO BE THINKING ABOUT
INCREASED MOISTURE ALONG THE COAST ONCE THE LOW BECOME 986 MB NEAR
55N 176W AND THE WARM FRONT MOVES INTO BRISTOL BAY BY 00Z THU. THE
12Z GFS-190 PROMISES A LOW IN THE 960S NEAR ATKA BY 12Z SAT BUT YOU
GOTTA SEE IF THE UPPER RIDGE KICKS OUT FIRST OR PERSISTS.

AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...HIGH WIND WARNING 135. WIND ADVSRY 101 131 155.
MARINE...GALES 14. HVY FRZ SPRAY 8 14.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
