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 Sep 10, 1:40 PM AKDT, 2 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 10, 1:40 PM AKDT, 2 hours 20 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 140 PM AKDT SAT SEP 10 2011 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... THE UPPER LEVEL JET IS CURRENTLY STEERING ALL MAJOR SYSTEMS AWAY FROM THE GREAT STATE AS IT FLOWS WEST TO EAST OFF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA AND THEN DIVES SOUTH. IT CURVES AROUND A NEARLY CUT OFF LOW AROUND 45N AND THEN TURNS NORTHEAST AGAIN AND POINTS TOWARD THE PANHANDLE. THE SOUTHERN TRACK OF THE JET IS LEAVING MOST OF THE STATE UNDER A BROAD AND VERY DIFFUSE SURFACE PATTERN. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTS OVER SOUTHCENTRAL WHILE A 977 MB LOW ANCHORS THE BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW NEAR THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. BETWEEN THE TWO IS A GALE FORCE FRONT MARCHING EAST ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS...LOSING STEAM AS IT GOES DUE TO THE LACK OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. .MODEL DISCUSSION... MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH ALL MAJOR FEATURES. THE TREND IS FOR THE SOUTHCENTRAL AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE TO SLOWLY WEAKEN WHILE THE FRONT MARCHES EAST. BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND...THE BROAD CYCLONIC CIRCULATION WILL PREVAIL FROM THE BERING SEA TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE FORCED BACK NORTH AND EAST TOWARD THE CENTRAL YUKON TERRITORY. THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS ARISE MONDAY AS THE CUTOFF LOW WEAKENS AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THE NAM IS THE OUTLIER AS THE LOW OPENS UP INTO A TROF AND BECOMES ENTRENCHED IN THE CIRCULATION. THE ECMWF...UKMET...AND GFS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT. UPDATES TO THE ONGOING FORECAST FOR THIS THIS AFTERNOONS PACKAGE WILL BE BASED OFF OF THE 12Z GFS. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL...CLOUD COVER AND WINDS ARE THE MAIN CHALLENGES FOR THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS NOT ENOUGH TO PREVENT CLOUDS FROM FORMING AND HAMPERING WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE A PERFECT FALL DAY. SHOWERS ARE MAINLY CONFINED TO COASTAL AREAS BUT CAN NOT RULE OUT THE STRAY SHOWER DEVELOPING OVER THE INTERIOR AS IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY. THE LOCATION OF THE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF INSTEAD OF ALONG THE COAST IS ALLOWING GUSTY WINDS TO MOVE INLAND. THE SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE STRONG ENOUGH FOR A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY OVER COOK INLET...WITH GUSTY WINDS BEING REPORTED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE ALASKA RANGE. OVERNIGHT...THE HIGH MOVES INLAND AND EVENTUALLY NORTHEAST TOWARD THE YUKON TERRITORY. THIS WILL CHANGE THE ORIENTATION OF THE GRADIENT AND CUT OFF THE SOUTHERLY FLOW. A WEAK OCCLUDED FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW WILL MOVE NORTH TOWARD THE GULF COAST SUNDAY EVENING. AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WILL BE A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF SUBSIDENCE. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR SKIES TO CLEAR OUT MOST OF SUNDAY WHILE TEMPERATURES MODERATE TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMAL. THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT MOVES INLAND SUNDAY EVENING LEADING TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN EARLY WEEK FULL OF CLOUDS AND AT LEAST THE CHANCE OF RAIN. SOUTHWEST ALASKA...SIMILAR TO THE EAST DISCUSSION...SOUTHERLY WINDS AND CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH SUNDAY RESULTING IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF VERY NICE WEATHER ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA. AHEAD OF THAT...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST GUSTY WINDS AND MARGINAL CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT WITH RAIN MAINLY CONFINED TO THE UPPER AND LOWER KUSKOKWIM. MOISTURE SPREAD BACK OVER THE REGION BY MONDAY MORNING WITH A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUN PREVAILING THROUGH MID WEEK. BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...THE GALE FORCE FRONT WILL MARCH EAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WEAKENING AS IT PROGRESSES. THE FRONT EVENTUALLY MEETS UP WITH THE REMNANTS OF THE NORTH PACIFIC CUT OFF LOW NEAR THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THE NEW DIFFUSE LOW WILL SLOWLY MEANDER UP THE SOUTHWEST COAST WHILE WEAK WESTERLY FLOW AND SHOWERS FILL IN ACROSS THE BERING. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...CONTINUED FLOOD ADV FOR 121 MARINE...GALES 150 180 170 172 179 185 FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
