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 Apr 18, 8:19 AM AKDT, 2 hours 41 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 18, 8:19 AM AKDT, 2 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 119 PM ADT FRI APR 18 2008 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS POSITIONED FROM THE EASTERN PACIFIC NORTH TO THE GULF OF ALASKA AND FURTHER NORTH INTO THE MAINLAND. THIS RIDGE IS THE CENTER OF A LARGE SCALE OMEGA BLOCK WITH ITS SCALE ENCOMPASSING THE AREA FROM EASTERN SIBERIA TO THE WESTERN LOWER 48. MEAN LOW PRESSURE ON THE WESTERN LEG OF THE OMEGA BLOCK IS PRESENT OVER ALL THE BERING AND ALEUTIAN REGION. GETTING A LITTLE MORE DETAILED...THE MAIN ANCHOR LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE IS LOCATED WELL SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR...WITH A FRONT EXTENDING NORTH INTO THE CENTRAL BERING. A WARM AIRMASS IS PRESENT ALONG AND EAST OF THIS FRONT WITH PRECIPITATION GENERALLY CONFINED TO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN BERING/ALEUTIANS. LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN. .MODEL DISCUSSION... MODELS ARE GENERALLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL... SPRING IS COMING IN A BIG WAY FOR SOUTHCENTRAL WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUING TO BUILD A LITTLE MORE...AND SNOW MELTING AWAY ALLOWING FOR FURTHER WARMING. MANY AREAS WILL REACH OR TOP 50 DEGREES...WITH THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES BEING IN SPOTS A LITTLE INLAND WHO HAVE ALSO LOST THEIR SNOWCOVER. SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR WITH MAINLY HIGH CLOUDS...ALTHOUGH SOME STRATUS IS POSSIBLE NEAR THE WATER AT TIMES. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT WITH SURFACE OVERHEAD SOUTHCENTRAL WITH SOME SEA BREEZES. AS THE RIDGE NUDGES EAST SLIGHTLY TOWARD SUNDAY...SOME RAIN MAY BEGIN TO SNEAK AS FAR NORTHEAST AS KODIAK...BUT SHOULD NOT MAKE IT TO THE REST OF SOUTHCENTRAL. SOUTHWEST MAINLAND... THE RIDGE AXIS WILL GENERALLY STAY JUST EAST OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...SO THIS REGION WILL BE A BIT MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION THAN SOUTHCENTRAL BUT WILL STILL SEE PLENTY OF WARMER TEMPERATURES. EVEN HERE...MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL CONFINED FROM THE WESTERN CAPES AND KUSKOKWIM DELTA WEST INTO THE BERING SEA. SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY GUSTY AT TIMES ESPECIALLY THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND. BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS... A STATIONARY WEATHER FRONT ORIENTED NORTH SOUTH IN THE CENTRAL BERING/ALEUTIANS WILL DISSIPATE TONIGHT. A COMPLEX AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE NORTH PACIFIC AND CROSS THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS SATURDAY NIGHT AND DISSIPATE. MEANWHILE...A LOW MOVING OFF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA TONIGHT WILL INTENSIFY AND BEGIN TO IMPACT THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS TOMORROW. THIS FAIRLY STRONG LOW WILL MOVE SLOWLY FROM WEST TO EAST ALONG THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN THROUGH MONDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST... THE STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AND BLOCKING PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH ALL OF NEXT WEEK FOR THE MAINLAND. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE WARNING ZONES 150 155 160 165 176 180. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. FOISY APR 08
