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 21, 3:00 PM AKST, 1 hour earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 21, 3:00 PM AKST, 1 hour before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 300 PM AKST SUN DEC 21 2008 .MODEL DISCUSSION...THE MODELS ARE CHANGING A BIT ON THE WAY THEY WANT TO RESOLVE THE BERING SEA LOW. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH SHIFT THAT THERE WILL BE AN IMPACT ON THE NORTHERN GULF AS WELL. THE BIG SHORT TERM QUESTION REVOLVES AROUND A TRIPLE POINT LOW THAT WILL DEVELOP SOUTHWEST OF THE BERING SEA AND MOVE VERY QUICKLY EASTWARD IN THE JET STREAM AND ARRIVE JUST NORTH OF BRISTOL BAY MONDAY NIGHT. THE BIG ISSUE WITH THIS SYSTEM IS THAT ALL THE MODELS ARE NOW WANTING TO BRING THIS LOW INTO THE NORTHERN GULF TUESDAY AFTERNOON. MOST LIKELY SCENARIO THEN IS THAT THE LOW WILL GET CAUGHT IN THE JET STREAM AND MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD OUT OF THE AREA. OFTEN THE LOW WILL LINGER IN THE NORTH GULF COAST AREA BUT THE JET STREAM WILL PROBABLY BE TOO STRONG TO LET THAT HAPPEN WITH THIS LOW. IN ADDITION TO THE SHORT TERM GULF THERE IS A LARGE QUESTION WITH THE MID RANGE TIME FRAME IN THE BERING SEA AS WELL. A LOW WILL ENTER THE WESTERN BERING SEA TUESDAY NIGHT AND MOVE NORTHEASTWARD. THE GFS AND NAM HAVE BEEN STRENGTHENING THIS LOW AMD MOVING IT NORTHWARD IN SUCCESSIVE RUNS. THE ECMWF AND UKMET HAVE BEEN INSISTING THAT IT WILL BE MUCH WEAKER AND FARTHER SOUTH. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY AS IT DEVELOPS. .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN OVER THE MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE WILL BREAK DOWN AND MOVE EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. A BROAD UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE TO THE NORTHERN BERING SEA AND INTO THE INTERIOR BY TUESDAY. THE JET STREAM IS SPLIT WITH A PORTION OF IT JUST SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND KODIAK ISLAND. THIS SECTION OF THE JET WILL DESCEND SOUTHWARD WHILE THE PORTION OF IT THAT IS COMING OFF OF JAPAN AND OVER SOUTHERN KAMCHATKA WILL MOVE INTO THE BERING SEA BY MONDAY. THIS JET WILL STRENGTHEN AND SHOULD RUN WEST TO EAST OVER THE BERING SEA AND THEN TURN SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA BY TUESDAY. A RATHER ZONAL FLOW WILL SET UP ALOFT BY LATE IN THE WEEK. .SHORT TERM FORECAST...FOG HAS BECOME A LARGE ISSUE IN THE ANCHORAGE AREA TODAY WITH A DENSE FOG ADVISORY ISSUED. CONDITIONS MAY IMPROVE THIS EVENING AS MID LEVEL CLOUDS MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH. PRECIPITATION IS HARD TO FIND AROUND THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME SHOWERS AROUND THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS AND ALASKA PENINSULA BEING THE ONLY SPOTS. THIS WILL CHANGE OVERNIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW AS A FRONT MOVES INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THEN INTO THE SOUTH CENTRAL REGION. .LONG TERM FORECAST...A ZONAL FLOW WILL DEVELOP THIS WEEK AND BRING SYSTEMS THROUGH THE AREA QUICKLY. BY NEXT WEEKEND A BLOCKING RIDGE MAY TRY TO BUILD INTO THE BERING SEA AND WESTERN ALASKA. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE MARINE...GALE 132 138 150 155 160 165 170 171 172 175 176 179 180 185 FIRE WEATHER...NONE DEC 08
