What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this storm 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 storm warning went out at Oct 20, 5:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 20, 5:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 500 PM AKDT MON OCT 20 2008 .MODEL DISCUSSION...MODEL INITIALIZATIONS ARE REASONABLE. THE STORM CENTER THAT MOVES INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA TUE IS HANDLED WELL BY THE GFS/ECMWF MODELS. ALTHOUGH THE MODELS ARE CONVERGING ON INTENSITY OF STORM CENTER APPROACHING THE ALEUTIANS TUE...THERE ARE STILL ISSUES WITH SPEED. THE GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW A FASTER MOVEMENT. CONSIDERING THE PROGRESSIVENESS OF CURRENT PATTERN...WE FEEL THAT THE GFS SPEED IS PROBABLY CLOSER TO REALITY. .UPPER LEVELS... PROGRESSIVE PATTERN CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION. THE TROUGH OVER THE GULF MOVES INTO CANADA TONIGHT. A SHARPENING TROUGH EXTENDING FROM A LOW NEAR SAINT MATTHEW ISLAND TO 45N 160W AND SOUTHWARD WILL ROTATE EAST TO EXTEND SE ACROSS THE MAINLAND TO OVER SE ALASKA WED AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME A NEARLY ZONAL FLOW IS EVIDENT OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC WITH SHORT WAVES MOVING ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS AND AK PEN. BY THU...A COLD LOW SETS UP OVER THE MAINLAND WITH TROUGHS EXTENDING SW ACROSS THE BERING SEA AND SOUTH OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... .EAST...A WEAK TROUGH OVER BRISTOL BAY THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE INTO SOUTH CENTRAL TONIGHT AND BRING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS THIS EVENING AND SHOW SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE GULF LOW CONTINUES TO WEAKEN THROUGH TONIGHT AND WILL SLOWLY RETROGRADE WEST AS DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE NE PACIFIC APPROACHES THE GULF. THIS STORM CENTER IS HANDLED WELL BY THE MODELS AND THE 12Z GFS WILL BE USED WITH THIS SYSTEM. A STRONG LOW CENTER WILL MOVE TO THE EASTERN GULF TUE NIGHT WITH A PRESSURE IN THE 960S. THIS LOW WILL THEN WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INLAND NEAR YAKUTAT WED AFTERNOON. GALES TO STORM FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN ADVANCE OF LOW AND ASSOCIATED FRONT AND GALES TO STORMS/STORM GUSTS ARE EXPECTED ON THE BACKSIDE OF CENTER WITH COLD ADVECTION OVER MARINE AREAS TUE NIGHT AND WED. THERE WILL ALSO BE FAIRLY STRONG GAP FLOWS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND THE NORTH GULF DURING THIS TIME FRAME. .WEST...A WEAK TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE SW INTERIOR THIS EVENING AND BRING LIGHT SNOW OR SNOW SHOWERS. A WEAK FRONTAL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED LOW WILL PROVIDE SOME LIGHT SNOW TO COASTAL SW ALASKA/BRISTOL BAY TONIGHT. A LOW CENTER OVER THE NORTHEAST BERING SEA WILL MOVE TO NEAR UNIMAK PASS TUE AFTERNOON. BRISK WINDS ARE EXPECTED ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS CENTER AS IT PROGRESSES SOUTH. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS OPEN/CLOSED CELL CUMULUS CLOUDS WITH THIS SYSTEM...SO EXPECT ENHANCED SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND WESTERN AK PEN TUE. A DEVELOPING W PACIFIC LOW WILL DROP INTO THE LOWER 950S AS IT CROSSES THE DATE LINE NEAR 49N TUE AFTERNOON. THE 12Z GFS LOOKS LIKE IT HAS THE OVERALL BEST SOLUTION...WITH A FASTER TRACK PREFERRED. THIS LOW WEAKENS AS IT TRACKS SOUTH OF THE AK PEN WED NIGHT. STORM/HURRICANE FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE ALEUTIANS WITH POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WIND WARNING CONDITIONS PUBLIC ZONES 191 AND 187. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH A HIGH WIND WATCHES STARTING TUE AFTERNOON/EVE AND CONTINUE INTO WED. ANY BLOWING SNOW SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED WITH WARM ADVECTION IN ADVANCE OF LOW CENTER. .LONG TERM FORECAST...A LOW SOUTH OF AK PEN WED NIGHT MOVES INTO THE GULF THU WITH A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT TRIPLE POINT MOVING INTO THE NE GULF THU AFTERNOON. STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENTS AND COLD ADVECTION OVER THE WESTERN GULF THU WILL PRODUCE STRONG WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE WESTERN GULF AND GAP FLOWS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL/GULF THU THROUGH EARLY FRI. COOLER TEMPS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE MAINLAND THU AND FRI AS COLD AS COLD UPPER LOW MOVES OVER THE REGION. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...HIGH WIND WATCH ZONES 187 185 AND 191 TO BE INITIATED AT 4PM MONDAY. MARINE...HURRICANE FORCE 175. STORMS 172 176. GALES 120 130 132 170. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. RMC OCT 08
