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 Apr 16, 1:30 PM AKDT, 14 hours 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 16, 1:30 PM AKDT, 14 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 130 PM AKDT FRI APR 16 2010 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDS OUT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ACROSS EASTERN AND NORTHERN ALASKA WHILE A BROAD TROUGH WITH AN EMBEDDED LOW ENCOMPASSES THE BERING SEA. A 180 KT JET TRAVELS ALONG THE 50 N PARALLEL BEFORE DIVING INTO THE CENTRAL PACIFIC SOUTH OF KODIAK. AT THE SURFACE...A 980 MB COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE CENTER WHICH IS EXHIBITING CHARACTERISTICS OF A BARBELL LOW IS CENTERED ACROSS THE NORTH BERING SEA. AN OCCLUDED FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IS INSTIGATING WIDESPREAD SNOW ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA. SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS OUT AHEAD OF THIS FRONT ARE SPREADING CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS OVER UPSLOPED REGIONS OF THE NORTH GULF COAST...SUCH AS WESTERN COOK INLET...THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN KENAI PENINSULA...AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. .MODEL DISCUSSION... SYNOPTICALLY SPEAKING ALL MODELS INITIALIZED WELL THIS MORNING...THOUGH THERE IS SOME CONFUSION AS TO THE EXACT STRUCTURE OF THE COMPLEX LOW IN THE BERING SEA. BUT OVERALL...CONSIDERING THE REMOTE LOCATION OF THE LOW...ONE CANT EXPECT A MUCH BETTER SOLUTION. AS WAS THE CASE YESTERDAY...MODELS DIFFER SUBSTANTIALLY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW TRIPLE POINT LOW SOUTH OF THE GULF THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...THOUGH THE NAM AND GFS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WHILE THE ECMWF IS WEAKER AND FURTHER NORTH WITH THIS LOW. THIS DISCREPANCY CONTINUES THROUGH THE LIFE OF THE LOW UP UNTIL IT DISSIPATES ON WEDNESDAY. WITH THE ECMWF BEING THE OUTLIER...THE FORECAST USED A BLEND OF THE NAM AND GFS THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... A TRIPLE POINT LOW DEVELOPS 700 MILES SOUTH OF KODIAK TONIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW MORNING AND SLOWLY WRAPS INTO THE GULF OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND. MULTIPLE FRONTAL BANDS WILL SPREAD NUMEROUS RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE GULF COAST THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. PREVAILING SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL ENHANCE PRECIPITATION ALONG FAVORABLE MOUNTAIN UPSLOPE REGIONS...INCLUDING SOUTHWESTERN COOK INLET...THE EASTERN KENAI PENINSULA...AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. WHILE THE ANCHORAGE BOWL REMAINS DOWNSLOPED FOR THE EVENT...WIDESPREAD CLOUDS AND ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND. GUSTY GAP WINDS THROUGH TURNAGAIN ARM AND OTHER MOUNTAIN PASSES ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA. SNOW SHOWERS PERSIST ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA TODAY AND TONIGHT AS THE DETERIORATING FRONTAL SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVERHEAD STALLS AND EVENTUALLY WRAPS NORTH INTO ITS PARENT LOW. SHORTWAVES TRACKING NORTH AND WEST AROUND THE NEW GULF LOW WILL REINITIATE SNOW SHOWERS OVER SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA ON SUNDAY. COLD AND WET WEATHER PERSISTS OVER THE ALEUTIANS THIS WEEKEND AS A RESULT OF NORTHERLY WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE BERING LOW. .LONG TERM FORECAST... LOOK FOR A WET BUT SLIGHTLY WARMER WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK DUE TO A SERIES OF LOWS INHABITING THE NORTH GULF. THE PRESENCE OF THESE LOWS WILL MAINTAIN A PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AND KEEP LOCALLY STRONG WINDS A POSSIBILITY THROUGH THE WEEK. A NEW LOW PASSES SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS AND SPREADS RAIN AND SNOW OVER THE ISLAND CHAIN DURING THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE WARNING...120 125 130 172 175. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. KS APR 10
