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 27, 9:00 PM AKDT, 2 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 27, 9:00 PM AKDT, 2 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 200 AM ADT FRI APR 28 2006 .DISCUSSION... ANALYSIS...A COLD UPPER LOW REMAINS OVER THE GULF. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THREE UPPER LOW CENTERS WITHIN THE LARGER CIRCULATION...ONE JUST SOUTH OF YAKUTAT...ONE EAST OF KODIAK ISLAND...AND ANOTHER SOUTH OF THE AKPENN. THE ONE SOUTH OF YAKUTAT IS WELL DEFINED AND HAS AN ESTIMATED SURFACE PRESSURE OF 995 MB. THIS LOW IS ROTATING NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. THE ONE EAST OF KODIAK ISLAND HAS BEEN GRADUALLY DISSIPATING OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS BUT IS SPREADING SHOWERS WESTWARD TOWARD KODIAK ISLAND. THE LOW SOUTH OF THE AKPENN IS AN UPPER LOW AND DOES NOT EXTEND DOWN TO THE SURFACE. IT IS CURRENTLY DROPPING INTO THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND WILL HELP AMPLIFY AND REINFORCE THE TROUGH OVER MAINLAND ALASKA/GULF OF ALASKA TODAY. WITH ALL OF THE ACTION TO THE SOUTH SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA ARE VERY QUIET TONIGHT WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND ISOLATED SHOWERS. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A FAIR NIGHT FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING SUCH THAT TEMPS WILL FALL TO FREEZING OR BELOW BY MORNING MOST PLACES. COLD ADVECTION CONTINUES ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING SEA BEHIND THE LOW SOUTH OF THE AKPENN. GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS...SNOW SHOWERS...AND COLD TEMPOS CONTINUE ACROSS THIS REGION. A HIGH AMPLITUDE SHORT-WAVE RIDGE LIES FROM THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TO EASTERN RUSSIA WITH ANOTHER CLOSED LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN TIP OF KAMCHATKA. HIGH CLOUDS ARE ON THE INCREASE OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS/BERING AS A FRONT EXTENDING FROM THIS SYSTEM APPROACHES. FINALLY THERE IS A DEVELOPING LOW LOCATED IN AN UPPER JET COUPLET AROUND 40N/172E. MODEL ANALYSIS...LOW SOUTH OF YAKUTAT IS NOT HANDLED WELL BY THE MODELS. IT IS FURTHER NORTH AND EAST AND STRONGER THAN MODEL SOLUTIONS. THEREFORE...WILL HAVE TO MAKE MENTAL MODIFICATIONS TO MODEL SOLUTIONS. THIS LOW WILL ROTATE WESTWARD TODAY ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST AND THEN SHOULD DROP SOUTHWARD TONIGHT AS TROUGH AMPLIFIES IN RESPONSE TO UPPER LOW CURRENTLY DROPPING INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. OUT WEST MODELS HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENT THE PAST FEW RUNS WITH DEVELOPING LOW SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. A LOOK AT THE GFS ENSEMBLE SHOWS A MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS ARE IN LINE WITH THE OPERATIONAL SOLUTION. THUS WE HAVE DECIDED TO USE THE GFS SOLUTION FOR THE EVOLUTION OF THIS LOW. AER SHORT-TERM FORECASTS...MOST OF THE SHOWERS ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST TODAY AS LOW MOVES WESTWARD. INLAND EXPECT AFTERNOON HEATING TO GENERATE A FEW AIR MASS SHOWERS...MAINLY FROM THE COPPER RIVER BASIN OVER THE CHUGACH AND TALKEETNA MOUNTAINS TO THE SUSITNA VALLEY. GULF LOW(S) AND UPPER TROUGH WILL VERY SLOWLY DRIFT EASTWARD SUNDAY AND MONDAY AND SOUTHCENTRAL WILL BE DRIER OVERALL. WITH AIR ALOFT STILL QUITE COLD ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ISOLATED AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS. ALU SHORT-TERM FORECASTS...WINDS WILL FINALLY DIMINISH BELOW SMALL CRAFT ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING/AKPENN TODAY AS COLD ADVECTION ABATES AND RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL BERING SLIDES EASTWARD. TEMPS WILL STILL BE QUITE COLD FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR FROM SOUTHWEST ALASKA TO THE AKPENN/EASTERN ALEUTIANS/PRIBILOFS. WINDS AND MOISTURE WILL BE ON THE INCREASE ACROSS THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TODAY AS LOW APPROACHES. WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL BERING THERE WILL BE A TIGHT ENOUGH PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS TONIGHT TO RESULT IN MINIMUM STORM FORCE WINDS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH AS LOW SINKS SOUTHWARD LATE SUNDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A WARM-UP TO THE ALEUTIANS TODAY SPREADING TO THE AKPENN SUNDAY AND BRISTOL BAY MONDAY. AIR IN PLACE IS SO COLD THAT WILL STILL SEE RAIN AND SNOW AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. BY MONDAY BERING SEA IS BACK INTO THE COLD ADVECTION ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW. EXTENDED FORECASTS...DO NOT SEE ANY MAJOR CHANGES IN STORE FOR THE ANCHORAGE FORECAST AREA. ALEUTIAN LOW AND MERGES WITH THE EVER PRESENT TROUGH OVER THE MAINLAND MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY TO FORM A NEW LARGE COMPLEX CIRCULATION CENTERED OVER THE AKPENN TUESDAY. THIS WILL BE SIMILAR TO THE CIRCULATION WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER THE GULF WITH MULTIPLE LOWS LIKELY TO FORM AND ROTATE AROUND THE MAIN CENTER. THIS LOW WILL SLOWLY PROGRESS EASTWARD THROUGH THE EXTENDED LEADING TO A SHOWERY REGIME FROM THE AKPENN TO THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND. ALTHOUGH THE CENTRAL BERING WILL SEE SOME COLD ADVECTION THE AIR MASS AS A WHOLE WILL NOT BE AS COLD AS THE CURRENT ONE. LOOKING OUT TO DAY 7 LOOKS LIKE DEJA VU...ANOTHER UPPER LOW MOVES ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS AND SETS UP SHOP VICINITY OF THE AKPENN. SO WHILE WE WILL NOT BE AS COLD WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT LOOKING AT ANY MAJOR WARM-UPS EITHER. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...STORMS 172 175. GALES 170 176. FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
