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 Oct 26, 3:00 PM AKDT, 13 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 26, 3:00 PM AKDT, 13 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
300 PM AKDT WED OCT 26 2011
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
IT HAS BEEN A QUIETER DAY FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN ALASKA AS THE MAINLAND
REMAINS BETWEEN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEMS. A BROAD UPPER TROUGH EXTENDS
FROM EASTERN ALASKA INTO WESTERN CANADA WHILE A SHARPER TROUGH/UPPER
LOW SETUP EXTENDS FROM THE BERING STRAIT SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE AKPEN.
BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS A WEAKER ZONAL FLOW WILL BRING A SHORT
PERIOD OF QUIET WEATHER FOR MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA.
AT THE SURFACE...THE STRONG LOW PRESSURE FROM DAYS PREVIOUS HAS
FILLED AND MOVED INTO THE EASTERN GULF. A MORE COMPACT POTENT SURFACE
LOW LIES OVER BRISTOL BAY BRINGING RAIN TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND
LIGHT SNOW TO COASTAL AREAS OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. BETWEEN THE
TWO SURFACE SYSTEMS A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT ALLOWS FOR LIGHT WINDS
AND SOME OCCASIONAL BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST.
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
GUIDANCE PACKAGE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST 48 HOURS BOTH AT THE
UPPER LEVELS AND AT THE SURFACE. DIFFERENCES IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE
UPPER LEVEL WAVE CURRENTLY OVER BRISTOL BAY ARISE ONCE THAT FEATURE
PROPAGATES INTO THE EASTERN GULF BUT SHOULD MAKE LITTLE DIFFERENCE
FOR THE ANCHORAGE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. THE MOST PROMINENT FEATURE
IS A DEFORMATION ZONE THAT WILL SET UP TO THE EAST OF THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR THIS EVENING. MULTIPLE MODELS
SUPPORT THIS FEATURE BRING AND PROLONGED PERIOD OF SNOWFALL FOR AREAS
NORTHWEST OF DILLINGHAM THROUGH SLEETMUTE.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW WILL TAPER OFF THIS EVENING
FOR THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AS THE TROUGH AXIS MOVES EAST. SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL REMAIN THE PROMINENT CONDITION
THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT KODIAK
ISLAND AND OFFSHORE MARINE ZONES LATE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING.
EXPECT PERIODS OF RAIN FOR MAINLY COASTAL AREAS AS WELL AS SPORADIC
SHOWERS ON THE KENAI PENINSULA. A VERY PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WILL BRING
IN THE NEXT DISTURBANCE FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN SIMILAR FASHION TO THE
LAST TWO.
SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE BRISTOL BAY LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING RAIN MIXED
WITH SNOW TO COASTAL AREAS OF THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR THIS AFTERNOON
CHANGING BACK TO SNOW THIS EVENING FOR THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND BRISTOL BAY ZONES. THE SNOW BAND WILL LINGER
OVER THESE AREAS OVERNIGHT BEFORE SLOWLY TRANSLATING EAST DURING THE
DAY CHANGING TO A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON.
PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST ON THURSDAY LINGERING
IN THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND BRISTOL BAY. MORE
RAIN IS IN STORE FOR THE AKPEN BY THE WEEKEND AS ANOTHER SYSTEM
PROGRESSES TO THE AREA.
BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...THE NEXT FRONT IN A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN
MOVES INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS THIS AFTERNOON. A PERIOD OF RAIN AS
THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH IS EXPECTED. THE FRONT WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD
INTO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND BE REPLACED BY A
BROAD AREA OF SHOWERS. THE MAIN FEATURE WITH THE SYSTEM IS THE COLD
ADVECTION STRONG WINDS BEHIND THE LOW PRESSURE. NORTHWESTERLY WINDS
OF STORM FORCE WILL PICK UP ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM
OCCASIONALLY FLIRTING WITH WARNING LEVEL.
.LONG TERM FORECAST...
ACTIVE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR THE ALEUTIANS AS THE LONG WAVE
PATTERN STAYS IN PLACE BRINGING WAVES OFF OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA
THROUGH THE ALEUTIANS AND INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE MAINLAND WILL
SEE PERIODS OF UNSETTLED WEATHER AS THE SYSTEMS MOVE INTO THE GULF
BUFFERED BY QUIET PERIODS BETWEEN SYSTEMS.
