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 Apr 20, 12:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 20, 12:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 500 PM ADT THU APR 20 2006 .DISCUSSION... ANALYSIS - COLD AIR ALOFT IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FEATURE THIS MORNING OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA. A MAJOR UPPER LOW IS N OF WRANGEL ISLAND WITH A SHORT WAVE EXTENDING INTO S CENTRAL AK WITH -36C AT 500 MB. ANOTHER MAJOR CENTER IS NEAR PASY AND ANOTHER OFF THE PANHANDLE. A RATHER LOW AMPLITUDE UPPER RIDGE IS ALONG 155W. SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS AN EXTENSIVE FRONT AT 18Z OVER THE CENTRAL AKPENN AND JUST OFF THE SW AK COAST. THIS FRONT IS ASSOCIATED WITH A 992 MB SFC LOW COMPLEX OVER THE CENTRAL BERING SEA. A 1008 MB LOW IS OVER PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WITH A 1004 MB LOW AND COLD AIR 150 NM OFF SITKA. THERE IS A FRAGMENTED SOMEWHAT MERIDIONAL JET AT 250 MB FROM CENTRAL ASIA TO AN EXIT AROUND 35N 145W AT THE BASE OF A MAJOR UPPER TROF. AER FORECASTS - THE COLD AIR ALOFT IS KICKING OUT NE TODAY BUT THERE IS STILL SOME MOISTURE FROM THE UPPER SHORT WAVE. THE CIRRUS SHIELD FROM THE FRONT TO THE SW HAS REACHED PAHO BY 20Z. THE DECISION FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW IS IF AND HOW MUCH PRECIP TO BRING IN WITH THE FRONT AND WHERE. WE HAVE TO BE THINKING ABOUT DOWNSLOPE EFFECTS. ALL MODELS DEVELOP A NEW SFC LOW IN THE 990S IN BRISTOL BAY BY 12Z FRI. THIS WILL INCREASE EASTERLY SFC PRES GRADIENTS AND GULF SE WIND WILL BE INCREASING. LOOK FOR ANOTHER SLUG OF COLD AIR TO COME AROUND IN THE S UPPER FLOW ALOFT BY FRI NIGHT FOR MORE OF SHOWER TYPE PRECIP. ALU FORECASTS - WE WERE ABLE TO DROP THE BLIZZARD WARNING FOR PASN FOR EARLIER THIS MORNING IN THAT THE SURFACE LOW AND WARM SECTOR HAD MOVED INTO THE PRIBILOFS. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SHOWERS IN THE COOLER AIR ALONG THE ALEUTIANS MOVING EAST. MUCH OF THE BERING SEA WILL BE IN A NORTHERLY FETCH BEHIND THE UPPER AND SURFACE LOW BY FRI AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE FAR WESTERN BERING SEA. WE EXPECT THE SNOW TO JUST MISS PABE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW BUT THE BRISTOL BAY AREA SHOULD GO DOWN. THE K-VALLEY WILL BE TRICKY BUT WE TEND TO SEE IT DRIER THAN THE MODELS EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF STARTING TONIGHT. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALES 120 130 172 176 179. HVY FREZ SPRAY 185. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. JC APR 06
