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 22, 12:00 AM AKST, 11 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 22, 12:00 AM AKST, 11 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 500 AM AST MON JAN 22 2007 .DISCUSSION... THE CURRENT PATTERN CONSISTS OF AN UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER WESTERN ALASKA AND A FULL LATITUDE RIDGE AROUND 120W LONGITUDE. THE EAST ASIA JET IS PUSHING ACROSS THE ENTIRE PACIFIC AT AROUND 30-40N LATITUDE BEFORE MAKING A NORTHEASTWARD BEND AND BREAKING JUST OFF THE WEST COAST OF CANADA. THIS IS A FAIRLY TYPICAL MODE DURING EL NINO...THOUGH THE JET WOULD NORMALLY BE FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE PACIFIC AND BREAK SOMEWHERE NEAR CALIFORNIA. THIS IS ALSO A VERY STABLE PATTERN AND HAS SETTLED IN NICELY OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND IS LIKELY TO BE ONE OF THE DOMINANT PATTERNS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHILE THE JET ENERGY IS POUNDING THE WEST COAST OF CANADA AND WASHINGTON STATE...THE LOW CENTERS ARE PUSHING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA...STEERED BY THE MEAN TROUGH POSITION OVER WESTERN ALASKA AND THE NORTHEAST BERING SEA. COLD AIR IS BEING PULLED SOUTH ACROSS THE BERING SEA ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE TROUGH. ENOUGH CYCLONIC FLOW WILL BE OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA TO BRING SHOWERS TO SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A LOW CURRENTLY SPINNING UP IN THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC WILL BECOME A MAJOR STORM (LESS THAN 960 MB SURFACE LOW) BY WEDNESDAY SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AS IT INTERACTS WITH THE COLD AIR DIVING SOUTH FROM THE BERING SEA. MODELS ARE STRUGGLING WITH TIMING FOR THIS STORM...BUT AGREE ON INTENSITY. A SWATH OF STORM FORCE WINDS WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE MARINE AREAS OF ALASKA WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...BEFORE THE SYSTEM SETTLES INTO THE BERING SEA AS THE NEW STEERING LOW. MORE SNOW (AND RAIN AT SOME COASTAL AREAS) EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM. UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY SOUTHERLY DURING THE WEEKEND USHERING IN MILDER TEMPERATURES OVER THE MAINLAND AS THE MEAN TROUGH POSITION RETROGRADES AND THE WEST COAST RIDGE STRENGTHENS. LOOKING INTO NEXT WEEK THE GENERAL PATTERN OF TROUGH TO THE WEST AND RIDGE TO THE EAST WILL LIKELY CONTINUE. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING 160 179. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. LUDWIG JAN 07
