What forecasters said that day

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 15, 12:00 AM AKST, 11 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 15, 12:00 AM AKST, 11 hours before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM AST SAT JAN 15 2005

...HEMISPHERIC VIEW...
LOPSIDED 4 WAVE PATTERN WITH NEGATIVES ANOMALIES OVER THE WEST AND
POSITIVES OVER THE EAST CONTINUES. OLD TRUSTY ANCHOR LOW CONTINUES TO
REMAIN NEAR THE HUDSON BAY AREA WHILE ALASKA IS UNDER A FLATTENING
RIDGE THAT IS MOSTLY ZONAL.

...AT THE SURFACE...
TWO MAIN FEATURES AT THE SURFACE CONTINUE TO BE THE HIGH JUST EAST OF
THE AOR AND AN IMPRESSIVE 950 MB LOW WELL SOUTH OF ADAK NEAR 40 N.
THE COMBINATION OF THESE FEATURES MAKES AN NOTEABLE MARK IN THE
MARINES WHERE THE VAST MAJORITY OF PLACES ARE EAST TO SOUTHEAST.

GENERALLY PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN LIGHT ALTHOUGH REPORTS FROM NORTH OF
TALKEETNA INDICATED SNOWFALL AT AN INCH AN HOUR. CURRENT RADAR
RETURNS SHOWS A FEW SMALL BANDS MOVING UP COOK INLET. MAIN PUSH OF
MOISTURE IS OVER BRISTOL BAY AND STRETCHES UP TO BETHEL.

LOOKING AT THE NEW SOUNDINGS, BETHEL STICKS OUT WITH A DEFINITE SHOT
OF FREEZING RAIN. CURRENT SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE 8 DEGREES WHILE
975 LEVEL TEMPERATURES ARE +2 C.

...FOR THE FORECAST...
AT FIRST GLANCE THERE APPEARS TO BE VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE MODELS BUT THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS. SHORTWAVE MOVING SOUTH
INTO THE AOR IS BEING PICKED UP BETTER BY MESOETA. HOWEVER, WV
ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE MESOETA IS DOING BETTER WITH THE OVERALL
DIMENSIONS AND KEEPS IT FURTHER TO THE EAST WHICH THE LATEST LOOP
IMAGES GOES ALONG WITH.

CURRENT WV LOOP ALONG WITH WSR88D RETURNS SUGGESTS AMPLE MOISTURE FOR
THE SOUTHWEST SO MESOETA PRECIPITATION NUMBERS WILL BE USED AND WITH
MESOETA HANDELING THE SHORTWAVE BETTER, NUMBERS SEEM GOOD.

IN THE EAST, BOTH THE MESOETA AND GFS ARE DOWNPLAYING MOISTURE OVER
MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA. DECENT RADAR RETURNS ALONG WITH
REINFORCING PLUME OF MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH GOES AGAINST THE MODELS.
WILL GO WITH MORE LIBERAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...FURTHER OUT...

500MB FLOW EVEN HAS A DIVERGENT SOLUTION WITH A MORE ANGLED
ORIENTATION OVER THE GULF BY SUNDAY NIGHT OVER THE GULF ON THE
ETA/ECMWF/UKMET WHILE THE GFS IS DRAGGING ITS FEET MORE. CONSIDERING
THAT THE MODELS HAVE BEEN DOWNPLAYING THE SPEED OF PROGRESSING
PIECES, THE GFS IS LIKELY OFF THE MARK.

EVEN FURTHER OUT, GLOBAL REDISTRIBUTION BEGINS IN EARNEST BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AS SOME OF THE COLD BREAKS OFF AND HEADS BACK TO SIBERIA
AND ELONGATES KEEPING US OUT OF THE BITTER COLD.

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