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 Jan 5, 9:00 AM AKST, 14 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 5, 9:00 AM AKST, 14 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 200 PM AST THU JAN 5 2006 .DISCUSSION... 12Z GFS AND 18Z ETA IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. ONLY DIFFERENCES ARE WEAK CIRCULATIONS ESTABLISHED OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA MAINLY DUE TO TERRAIN RESOLUTION DIFFERENCES. UPPER LEVELS...RIDGE OVER THE ROCKIES EXTENDING INTO EASTERN ALASKA WITH A CLOSED LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF. HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN RUSSIA WITH A LOW OVER THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA AND NEAR GAMBELL ISLAND. JET STREAM ORIENTED ALONG 40N FROM NEPAL TO 160W CURRENTLY. JET TO REMAIN ALONG 40N BUT SHIFT EAST OVER TIME LEAVING A ZONAL PATTERN OVER THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...THE MAIN STORM TRACK WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN AND THE MAINLAND AND THEN DISSIPATE AS THEY ROLL IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. SOME OF THE STORMS WILL APPROACH THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN AND BRING STRONG SURFACE WINDS. SOUTH CENTRAL SURFACE...LOW IN THE SOUTHERN GULF WEAKENING AND MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHERN GULF COAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS THEN DISSIPATING BY SATURDAY. IN THE MEANTIME...GOOD PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. IN ADDITION...COLD AIR IN THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. THEREFORE...MODERATE TO STRONG NORTHERLY GAP WINDS TO BE MAINTAINED THROUGH TOMORROW. WOULD ALSO EXPECT MODERATE EASTERLY WINDS IN THE COASTAL WATERS AS LONG AS THE LOW AND TROUGH ARE PRESENT. PRECIPITATION TO BE ON THE INCREASE AS WELL LATER TONIGHT AND FRIDAY AS THE LOW WORKS NORTH IN THE GULF. MOST PRECIPITATION WILL BE ALONG COASTAL LOCATIONS WITH THE LOW. SOME PRECIPITATION TO WORK INTO THE LOWER SUSITNA VALLEY AS WELL. MAY SEE A FEW FLURRIES SQUEAK OVER THE WESTERN KENAI AND ANCHORAGE BOWL. THE LOW DISSIPATES AS A RESULT OF IT WRAPPING NORTHWEST TO THE COAST AND FILLING. IT IS ALSO BEING PUSHED BY ANOTHER LOW CURRENTLY NEAR ADAK WHICH ROUNDS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE GULF SATURDAY AND HEADS TOWARD THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. THIS WILL MAINTAIN SHOWERS ALONG THE COAST THROUGH SATURDAY. THE LOW CURRENTLY WEST OF SHEMYA TO SLOWLY MOVE EAST ALONG THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN TO THE WESTERN GULF LATE SATURDAY. THE LOW WRAPS UP IN THE GULF AND WEAKENS SUNDAY AS IT RUNS TO THE ROCKIES RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE. SURFACE WEST...WEAKENING FRONT OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIAN CHAIN AND BERING SEA. THEREFORE...WINDS ARE DIMINISHING ALONG THIS FRONT. BUT...PRECIPITATION WILL NOT WANE OVER THE BERING SEA AND ALEUTIAN CHAIN. LOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT NEAR ADAK WHICH WILL TRAVEL LOW INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF FRIDAY. THE ANCHOR LOW FOR THIS FRONT IS NEAR THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA AND WILL WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AS IT GETS DRAGGED ALONG BY A DEVELOPING LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC. THIS DEVELOPING LOW IS ALONG THE JET STREAM AND WILL DEEPEN TO NEAR 965 MB BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON SOUTH OF ADAK. EXPECT GALE TO STORM FORCE WINDS WITH THIS LOW NEAR THE CENTRAL ALEUTIAN CHAIN. THE LOW WILL MAINTAIN ITS STRENGTH ALONG THE CHAIN INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE LOSING JET SUPPORT SUNDAY OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA. MOST OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL REMAIN DRY DURING THIS TIME FRAME OUTSIDE OF A FEW MOUNTAIN SHOWERS. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE MARINE...GALE WARNING 138 176 FIRE WEATHER...NONE JN JAN 06
