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 May 20, 12:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 20, 12:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 500 PM ADT SUN MAY 20 2007 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... THE TWO MAIN FEATURES ARE THE THERMALLY INDUCED SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND THE BROAD RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA TO THE SURFACE HIGH NEAR ST MATTHEW ISLAND. IN THE UPPER LEVELS WE HAVE A WEAK LOW OVER THE BRISTOL BAY COAST THAT SHOULD SLOWLY DRIFT NORTHWEST THROUGH MON AFTERNOON. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL ROTATE NORTH ACROSS KODIAK ISLAND TONIGHT THEN EXTEND FROM THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA SOUTHEAST TO THE NORTH GULF COAST MONDAY. WE ALSO HAVE A LOW WELL SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS IN THE NORTH PACIFIC. THE COLD UPPER LEVEL AIR OVER THE MAINLAND COUPLED WITH LOW LEVEL WARMTH AND MOISTURE WILL KEEP CONDITIONS UNSTABLE TODAY AND MON. .MODEL DISCUSSION... MODELS HAVE HAD GOOD RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY AND ARE IN GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT. THE MEAN SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MAINLAND IS HANDLED SIMILARLY BY ALL MODELS AND THE INCOMING LOW AND FRONT AND THE MEAN TROUGH OF THIS SYSTEM IS ALSO HANDLED WELL, THOUGH THE NAM IS SLIGHTLY SLOWER MOVING THE MEAN TROUGH NORTH THAN THE GFS AND UKMET. THE CURRENT FORECAST SOLUTIONS WILL REFLECT THE GFS. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... THE UPPER LEVEL COLD AIR AND LOW LEVEL WARMTH AND MOISTURE WILL KEEP CONDITIONS UNSTABLE OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL AREA TO THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY THIS EVENING AND AGAIN MONDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE BERING WILL HOLD THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG OVER THAT REGION UNTIL THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW PUSHES NORTH AND THE ASSOCIATED EAST TO NORTHEAST GRADIENT SPREADS TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS THAT SHOULD MIX OUT THE LOW LEVEL CLOUDS AND FOG LATE MON. SINCE THE NORTHWARD AND EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW AND ASSOCIATED FRONT IS SLOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED WE ARE BACKING OFF ON THE BEGINNING OF RAIN FOR THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS ALASKA PENINSULA AND KODIAK ISLAND. THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE BRISTOL BAY COAST WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF SHOWERS GOING FOR THE BRISTOL BAY AND KUSKOKWIM DELTA AREAS THROUGH MONDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST... WEDNESDAY WE EXPECT AN INFLUX OF WARMER AIR ALOFT THAT WILL RESULT IN MORE STABLE CONDITIONS OVER THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND WED. WE EXPECT THE PATTERN TO SEE A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT BEGINNING SUN AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE ARCTIC HAS A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH TO ANOTHER UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN ALEUTIANS. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND FROM THE ARCTIC OVER WESTERN ALASKA WITH THE COLDER AIR ALOFT MOVING BACK OVER THE MAINLAND. AS FOR THE CHANGES TO THE WEATHER EXPECTED WITH THIS PATTERN CHANGE. THE MAIN CHANGE WILL BE INCREASED CHANCE FOR RAIN ALONG MOST OF THE COASTAL AREAS AND A RETURN TO CLOUDIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS NEXT WEEK. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG ZONE 111. SAM MAY 07
