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 Jul 17, 11:00 AM AKDT, 6 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 17, 11:00 AM AKDT, 6 hours 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 400 PM ADT MON JUL 17 2006 .DISCUSSION... OVERALL PATTERN VERY SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. THE 250 MB JET IS JUST SKIMMING THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AS A LOW NEAR KISKA BEGINS TO DEEPEN. THE OLD LOW SOUTH OF SAND POINT WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY UNTIL THE LOW NEAR KISKA MOVES EASTWARD AND ABSORBS IT SOUTH OF SAND POINT TUESDAY EVENING. THIS LOW WILL THEN FURTHER STRENGTHEN TO AROUND 987 MB WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND MOVE TO AROUND 350 MILES SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND AT THAT TIME. BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THE JET STREAM WILL STILL BE OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS BUT WILL BE HEADING SOUTHEAST AROUND THE LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK AT THAT POINT. THE JET WILL THEN BEND BACK NORTHWARD INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA AS IT SWINGS AROUND THE LOW. THE RESULTANT PATTERN WILL BE A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE STATE FROM MID WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. THE RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA IS STILL PRESENT BUT IS EDGING EASTWARD. THIS RIDGE CONTINUES TO PRODUCE ON SHORE FLOW ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST RESULTING IN MARINE STRATUS AND AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN. IT IS ALSO CONTINUING TO PRODUCE GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS THROUGH GAPS IN THE MOUNTAINS SUCH AS TURNAGAIN ARM AND UP THE COPPER RIVER. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE LOW THE NEXT FEW DAYS. A FEW SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP IN INLAND AREAS BUT THE FIRST CHANCE OF ANY THUNDER APPEARS TO BE THURSDAY...AND EVEN THAT DOES NOT APPEAR OVERLY IMPRESSIVE AT THIS TIME. THE LAST FEW MODEL RUNS HAVE BEEN DOING FAIRLY WELL WITH THE HANDLING OF THE DEVELOPING SYSTEMS. GFS LOOKS TO HAVE A SLIGHTLY BETTER SOLUTION IN MOVING THE MERGED LOW INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA MID WEEK. THE NAM APPEARS A BIT FAST BUT IT WILL HAVE MINIMAL IMPACT OF THE FORECAST AREAS AS THE LOW WILL BE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA AT THAT TIME. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE.
