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 26, 12:50 PM AKST, 15 hours 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 26, 12:50 PM AKST, 15 hours 10 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 1250 PM AKST FRI NOV 26 2010 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...UPPER LEVEL PATTERN REMAINS VERY PROGRESSIVE. TROUGH RESPONSIBLE FOR SNOW OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ON THANKSGIVING DAY IS EXITING TO THE EAST ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA AS A SHORT-WAVE RIDGE BUILDS IN BEHIND IT. A WEAK LOW AMPLITUDE TROUGH CROSSING THE BERING SEA IS BEGINNING TO SLIGHTLY DIG SOUTHEASTWARD AND CONNECT UP WITH A MATURE LOW OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC. UPSTREAM OF THESE TROUGHS IS ANOTHER SHORT-WAVE RIDGE OVER THE FAR WESTERN BERING. AT THE SURFACE AN ELONGATED LOW OVER THE CENTRAL BERING IS TRACKING TOWARD SOUTHWEST ALASKA. A WARM FRONT EXTENDS WELL OUT AHEAD OF THE LOW WITH SNOW SPREADING ONSHORE FROM THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA TO BRISTOL BAY. ALL IS QUIET ACROSS THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE. .MODEL DISCUSSION...THERE IS A KEY DIFFERENCE AMONG THE MODEL SOLUTIONS IN LOCATION AND EXTENT OF AMPLIFICATION OF UPPER TROUGH DIGGING ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE NAM IS A BIT OF AN OUTLIER WITH HIGHER AMPLITUDE OVER COOK INLET ALTHOUGH ECMWF HAS TRENDED THAT DIRECTION. THE GFS/UKMET MAINTAIN A MUCH LOWER AMPLITUDE TROUGH UNTIL IT REACHES PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THIS WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON LOCATION AND AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL...ESPECIALLY FOR THE WESTERN KENAI TO SUSITNA VALLEY. FOR NOW WILL TAKE A MIDDLE GROUND SOLUTION. NO MATTER WHAT SOLUTION YOU GO WITH ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION WILL BE LIGHT. OTHER THAN THAT MODELS REMAIN IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH SYNOPTIC FEATURES. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...THE WEAK LOW OVER THE BERING WILL TRACK ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND INTO THE GULF FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THERE WON'T BE A WHOLE LOT OF MOISTURE OR LIFT TO WORK WITH UNDER BROAD WESTERLY FLOW...SO MAIN IMPACT WILL BE AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS. A MORE SUBSTANTIVE UPPER TROUGH WILL DROP OUT OF THE ARCTIC SATURDAY AND BEGIN TO DOG SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD SOUTHCENTRAL SATURDAY NIGHT. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE EVOLUTION OF THIS TROUGH...BUT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE ENOUGH LIFT AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH TO PRODUCE A QUICK SHOT OF SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GULF AND DEVELOP INTO A CLOSED LOW. ARCTIC AIR WILL BE USHERED SOUTHWARD BEHIND THE TROUGH SETTING UP A WIND EVENT ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AND THE GULF LATE SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. THIS WILL BE ENHANCED BY A PACIFIC LOW WHICH THEN TRACKS INTO THE GULF MONDAY...RAPIDLY DEEPENING AS COLD AIR FEEDS INTO IT. IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE EXACT WIND SPEEDS...BUT THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WIND WARNING CONDITIONS IN THOMPSON PASS/VALDEZ. FOR NOW WILL TREND HEAVILY TOWARD STRONGER WINDS IN THE LATEST FORECAST. SOUTHWEST ALASKA...PRECIP WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD INLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AIRMASS BEHIND THE WARM FRONT LOOKS WARM ENOUGH TO CHANGE PRECIP TO A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW OR EVEN ALL RAIN ALONG COASTAL AREAS. PERSISTENT ONSHORE FLOW WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO WIDESPREAD LOW CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES. COLDER AIR WILL SLOWLY FILTER SOUTHWARD TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY CHANGING ANY REMAINING PRECIP BACK TO SNOW. A MORE SIGNIFICANT ARCTIC BLAST WILL THEN ACCOMPANY AN UPPER TROUGH AS IT DIGS SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. COMBINATION OF THE COLD ADVECTION AND A PACIFIC LOW MOVING TOWARD THE GULF WILL PRODUCE GUSTY NORTHERLIES...PRIMARILY FOR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND BRISTOL BAY ZONES. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE FOR DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...THE LOW OVER THE CENTRAL BERING WILL EXIT TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA TONIGHT AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN ONCE AGAIN. A PACIFIC LOW WILL TRACK TOWARD THE GULF THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS BUT MOST OF THE IMPACT FROM THIS WILL BE SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA. THE RIDGE WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD OVER THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK ALLOWING A SYSTEM TO MOVE UP ITS WEST SIDE INTO THE BERING SEA. .LONG TERM FORECAST...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE OUT OF PHASE AS WE HEAD THROUGH NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...THE BOTTOM LINE IS UPPER LEVEL PATTERN REMAINS PROGRESSIVE SO WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE EVERY TWO OR THREE DAYS. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE WARNING...155 160 165 170 176. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. SEB NOV 10
