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 Nov 10, 5:00 PM AKST, 11 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 10, 5:00 PM AKST, 11 hours before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 PM AKST TUE NOV 10 2009

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON ON
THE MOVEMENT OF THE MAIN STORM CENTER AND THE ASSOCIATED WEATHER
FRONT. THERE ARE STILL SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY BUT THE MID-TERM SOLUTIONS ARE A LITTLE CLOSER TOGETHER THAN
THEY WERE YESTERDAY.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE UPPER TROUGH OVER EASTERN ALASKA CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST. A BROAD
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA AND WESTERN MAINLAND IS ALSO
PROPAGATING EASTWARD.
AT THE SURFACE...A STRONG STORM SYSTEM OVER THE NORTHERN BERING SEA
HAD DEVELOPING COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH THROUGH THE CENTRAL BERING
SEA. A WEAK LOW JUST SOUTH OF YAKUTAT IS MOVING SOUTHEAST.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
THE BERING SEA STORM WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES INTO THE
SEWARD PENINSULA WEDNESDAY, THEN WILL WEAKEN AS IT CONTINUES TO MOVE
EAST INTO THE NORTHERN INTERIOR THURSDAY. THE ASSOCIATED WEATHER
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE EASTERN BERING SEA TONIGHT, THROUGH
SOUTHWEST ALASKA WEDNESDAY MORNING AND THROUGH SOUTH-CENTRAL ALASKA
AND THE GULF OF ALASKA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

SOUTH-CENTRAL ALASKA...AREAS OF RAIN WILL DEVELOP OVER THE GULF, THE
CENTRAL GULF COAST AND THE SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA AHEAD OF THE
FRONT THEN CHANGE TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS BEHIND IT. ELSEWHERE,
AREAS SNOW WILL BEGIN FALLING OVER THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND THE UPPER
COOK INLET LATE TONIGHT AND WILL MOVE THROUGH THE COPPER RIVER BASIN
AND NORTHERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. SNOW COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES OVER THE SUSITNA VALLEY. GUSTY
SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL CREATE AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW
THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN ALONG THE CHUGACH MOUNTAIN.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...WARMER AIR AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
RISE HIGH ENOUGH THAT THE SNOW WILL CHANGE TO RAIN OVER THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA AND BRISTOL BAY AND MIXED RAIN AND SNOW OVER THE SOUTHERN
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE
TO SNOW SHOWERS BEHIND THE FRONT. STRONG WEST WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN
BERING SEA WILL CREATE A STORM SURGE UP TO 2 FEET ABOVE MAXIMUM HIGH
TIDE ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST WEDNESDAY.

BERING SEA...SOUTH WINDS OVER THE EASTERN BERING WILL BECOME WESTERLY
BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT. A SECOND LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE KAMCHATKA
PENINSULA TONIGHT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE BERING THROUGH THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE MAIN UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHERN INTERIOR WILL PERSIST OVER THE
AREA THROUGH SUNDAY. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL PROPAGATE
AROUND THE LOW AND PRODUCE PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
