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 Apr 14, 2:30 PM AKDT, 13 hours 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 2:30 PM AKDT, 13 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 230 PM AKDT WED APR 14 2010 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... NEUTRALLY TILTED TROUGH WITH AXIS AROUND 160W DRIVING THE WEATHER OVER MUCH OF MAINLAND ALASKA TODAY. THE 105 KT JET EXITING THE AMPLIFIED TROUGH IS TAPPING THE SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE AND DRIVING IT NORTH TO THE NORTHEASTERN GULF OF ALASKA. STRONG SUBSIDENCE EVIDENT ON THE BACK OF THE TROUGH. FURTHER WEST IS A DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE BEING FED BY AN IMPRESSIVE 180 KT JET. THE MOISTURE FETCH WITH THIS SYSTEM IS VERY SUBSTANTIAL...AND CAN BE TRACED BACK TO SOUTHERN JAPAN. AT THE SURFACE...THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT BROUGHT MOST OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA SNOW OVERNIGHT AND THIS MORNING IS CURRENTLY LOCATED JUST SOUTHWEST OF SEWARD AS IT FOLLOWS THE KENAI PENINSULA COAST TOWARD PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE EASTERN BERING SEA. OUT WEST...A STRONG FRONT IS PUSHING THROUGH THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WITH WINDS REACHING 60 MPH AT SHEMYA THIS HOUR. .MODEL DISCUSSION... AGAIN...MODELS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT BUT HAVE BEEN PRETTY ERRATIC THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH. ALL MODELS INDICATING SOME MINOR COLD AIR ADVECTION ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE KENAI PENINSULA LOW AS IT WEAKENS AND MOVES INLAND. THE STRENGTH AND TIMING OF THE FRONT AS IT TREKS EAST ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS AND INTO THE WESTERN GULF IS STILL LOOKING GOOD SO NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE THROUGH 84 HOURS. A SLIGHT PREFERENCE TOWARD THE ECMWF BEYOND 84 HOURS AS MODELS DIVERGE ON THE PLACEMENT OF A LOW IN THE SOUTHERN GULF OVER THE WEEKEND. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... .SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA...SNOW CONTINUES TO FALL FROM THE UPPER KENAI PENINSULA TO THE EASTERN SUSITNA VALLEY...AS WELL AS HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW OVER EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THE TRACK OF THE LOW THAT DEVELOPED NEAR KODIAK ISLAND TOOK A MUCH FARTHER WEST TRACK THAN EXPECTED...BRINGING THE ABUNDANT OVERRUNNING MOISTURE TO THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA AND ANCHORAGE BOWL. AFTER A BRIEFLY DOWNSLOPING LATER THIS MORNING ASSOCIATED WITH WARM AIR ALOFT ADVECTING OVER THE REGION...COLD AIR IS BEGINNING TO MOVE UP THE INLET. THE RESULT IS MORE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE OVER ANCHORAGE. TEMPERATURES ARE HOVERING RIGHT AROUND FREEZING SO SNOW IS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME ACCUMULATING ON THE ROAD SURFACE...OTHERWISE SNOW TOTALS HAVE RANGED SO FAR FROM AN INCH ON THE HILLSIDE TO NEARLY 7 INCHES IN PARTS OF NORTH ANCHORAGE. SNOW WILL TAPER OFF LATER THIS EVENING AS THE LOW MOVES INLAND AND DRIER AIR SLOWLY FILTERS ACROSS THE REGION. EXPECT SNOW TO CONTINUE ALONG THE HILLSIDE UP TO PALMER THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT AS FLOW TURNS SOUTHWEST TO WESTERLY AND THE UPSLOPE COMPONENT CONTRIBUTES TO THE ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL. HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE MOUNTAINS EAST OF PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THE LARGEST IMPACT IS ON THE ROAD SYSTEM THROUGH THOMPSON PASS WHERE OVER TWO FEET OF SNOW HAS BEEN MEASURED SO FAR. AT SEA LEVEL...PRECIP IS STILL HEAVY BUT FALLING IN THE FORM OF RAIN.
