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 Dec 25, 12:00 PM AKST, 11 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 25, 12:00 PM AKST, 11 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 500 PM AST TUE DEC 25 2007 .MODEL DISCUSSION... THE MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THEN THE SOLUTIONS BEGIN TO DIVERSE WITH RESPECT TO THE LOW MOVING INTO BRISTOL BAY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THOUGH ALL THE MODELS MOVE THE LOW IN TO THE GULF THURSDAY NIGHT, THE NAM MODEL KEEPS THE CENTER A LITTLE FURTHER WEST OVER KODIAK ISLAND WHILE THE GFS, UKMET AND ECMWF HAS IT OVER THE WESTERN OR CENTRAL GULF. THOUGH IT IS HARD TO SAY WHICH HAS THE BETTER SOLUTION, I LIKE THE GFS BECAUSE IT HAS BETTER CONSISTENCY THAN THE OTHER MODELS. .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... CURRENT SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS THE LOW IN THE CENTRAL GULF MOVE EAST. A WEAKER LOW HAS FORMER NEAR MIDDLETON ISLAND AND IS KEEPING AN AREA OF SHOWERS ALONG THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. COLD AIR MOVING INTO THE COOK INLET AND KENAI PENINSULA IS COLLIDING WITH THE WARMER FROM PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND IS CREATING AN AREA OF SNOW ALONG THE RAILBELT. A SMALL LOW OVER THE OVER THE NORTHERN BERING SEA WILL MOVE SOME SNOW ONTO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST BY LATE AFTERNOON. THE LARGE LOW SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST AND WILL MOVE STRONG WINDS INTO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THIS AFTERNOON. A SHORT WAVE UPPER TROUGH OVER OVER KODIAK CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARD COOK INLET. THE UPPER RIDGE OVER WESTERN CANADA IS STILL HOLDING. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... THE UPPER TROUGH OVER KODIAK ISLAND WILL MOVE THROUGH THE COOK INLET AND SUSITNA VALLEY TONIGHT THEN WEAK OVER THE CENTRAL INTERIOR WEDNESDAY MORNING. A UPPER RIDGE DEVELOPING OVER BRISTOL BAY AND THE ALASKA PENINSULA WILL MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE GULF AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THEN CONTINUE NORTH AND EAST INTO WESTERN CANADA AND NORTHERN ALASKA THURSDAY. SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AND THE GULF... THE PUSH OF COLD AIR INTO THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND KENAI PENINSULA WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AREAS OF SNOW THROUGHOUT THE AREA UNTIL THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES THROUGH TONIGHT. CLEARER AND COLDER WEATHER WILL MOVE DEVELOP WEDNESDAY WITH THE UPPER RIDGE. MORE CLOUD WILL MORE UP FROM THE SOUTH AS A WEATHER FRONT MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL GULF THURSDAY. SNOW, RAIN AND SOME STRONG WINDS WILL MOVE INTO KODIAK ISLAND LATE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND WILL SPREAD TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST EARLY THURSDAY. SOUTHWEST ALASKA, BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS... A RIDGE OVER THE INTERIOR SOUTHWEST WILL MOVE INTO THE TANANA VALLEY WEDNESDAY MORNING. A WEAK LOW OVER THE NORTHERN BERING WILL SWING THE REMAINS OF ITS COLD FRONT TO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST BEFORE BOTH DISSIPATES LATE TONIGHT. THIS WILL PRODUCE SOME ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT. A STRONG LOW SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH DUTCH HARBOR WEDNESDAY MORNING AND CONTINUE TO MOVE ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA INTO BRISTOL BAY THU MORNING THEN WILL MOVE TO NEAR KODIAK ISLAND THU AFTERNOON. STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS THIS EVENING WITH SPREAD INTO THE AK PEN AND BRISTOL BAY WEDNESDAY. THE BLIZZARD WATCH FOR THE AK PEN IS LOOKING DOUBTFUL AT THIS TIME BECAUSE THE MODELS ARE INDICATING A LOT OF WARMER AIR WILL MOVE INTO WITH THE STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS AND THE SNOW BEGINNING THIS EVENING WILL RAPIDLY CHANGE TO RAIN TONIGHT. .LONG TERM FORECAST... THE LOW NEAR KODIAK THURSDAY WILL MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL GULF THURSDAY NIGHT THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN THERE THROUGH SATURDAY. MOST OF THE STRONGER WINDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN ALONG THE COAST. ANOTHER LOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL BERING SEA THU NIGHT THEN DRIFT TO NEAR SAINT MATTHEW ISLAND SAT. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...BLIZZARD WATCH FOR THE ALASKA PENINSULA. MARINE...GALE 120, 129, 130, 132, 150, 155, 160, 165, 170, 172, 175, 179. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. NM DEC 07
