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 20, 3:00 PM AKST, 1 hour earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 20, 3:00 PM AKST, 1 hour before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 300 PM AKST SAT DEC 20 2008 .MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE DOING WELL THROUGH 84 HOURS. THE NAM AND GFS BOTH INITIALIZED A LITTLE TOO FAR SOUTH ON THE LOW IN THE SOUTHWESTERN GULF OF ALASKA. THE NAM ALSO HAS IT A LITTLE STRONGER THIS EVENING WHICH IS PROBABLY GOOD. THIS WILL NOT MAKE MUCH OF AN IMPACT ON THE FORECASTS SINCE THE LOW IS WEAKENING AND MOVING OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA. .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE MEAN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE STATE WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET STREAM STAYING SOUTH OF THE AREA. THIS IS KEEPING THE WEATHER PATTERN QUIETER THAN NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE JET STREAM WILL ENTER THE PICTURE FOR THE BERING SEA AREA MONDAY AND THEN EXTEND OVER MOST OF THE BERING SEA BY TUESDAY. THE MAIN SURFACE LOW IN THE EAST IS WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE GULF OF ALASKA WITH THE SECONDARY AND WEAKER LOW SOUTHEAST OF KODIAK ISLAND. THIS LOW WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT PULLS TO THE SOUTHEAST AND OUT OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. IN THE WEST A COMPLEX LOW IS IN THE KAMCHATKA AREA AND WILL EVENTUALLY FOLLOW THE EASTERN RUSSIA COAST TOWARD THE BERING STRAIT BY TUESDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW A SERIES OF WEATHER FRONTS TO CROSS THE BERING SEA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS LOW COMPLEX. .SHORT TERM FORECAST...THERE IS NOT A LOW OF WEATHER TO TALK ABOUT TODAY. THERE IS RAIN IN KODIAK AND SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS NEAR THE NORTH GULF COAST AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THE FRONT IN THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS IS WEAKENING AND BRINGING MINIMAL PRECIPITATION THERE. THERE IS SOME PATCHY FOG IN THE BERING SEA. THE COOK INLET REGION COLD SEE SOME FOG DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT BUT CONDITIONS ARE NOT NEARLY AS FAVORABLE FOR IT AS COMPARED TO A FEW DAYS AGO. .LONG TERM FORECAST...STILL SOME MODEL UNCERTAINTY BEYOND TUESDAY...BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING...IT LOOKS LIKE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE BERING AFTER WEDNESDAY WITH COLD NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE MAINLAND AND A GENERAL DRYING TREND AFTER AN UNSETTLED EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE 170 175 176 179. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. DEC 08
