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 Feb 2, 4:00 AM AKST, 12 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 2, 4:00 AM AKST, 12 hours before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
400 AM AKST MON FEB 2 2009

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
DECENT AGREEMENT AMONGST THE NUMERICAL MODELS IN THE SHORT TERM. A
SLIGHT PREFERENCE WAS GIVEN TO THE GFS FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF THE
FORECAST. BY 00Z THURSDAY THE GUIDANCE BEGINS TO DIFFER ON HOW TO
HANDLE THE LOW IN THE NORTHERN GULF AS WELL AS LOCATION OF THE DEEP
LOW IN THE BERING SEA. THE MORNING FORECASTS REFLECT MORE OF A
COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF FOR THE LATER PORTION OF THE
FORECAST.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER WEST CENTRAL ALASKA THIS MORNING WITH
VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE STATE UNDER CYCLONIC FLOW. A TROUGH CONTINUES
SOUTH THROUGH THE GULF OF ALASKA AND ANOTHER LOW IS SITUATED AT 150
DEGREES WEST LONGITUDE 45 NORTH LATITUDE. A DEEP LOW IS CENTERED NEAR
KAMCHATKA WITH THE NOSE OF A RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS BETWEEN
THE MAIN LOWS. THE PATTERN IS HIGHLY AMPLIFIED ACROSS THE NORTHERN
