The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 6, 4:32 AM AKST, 4 hours 13 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKST WED JAN 5 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

PROGRESSIVE PATTERN CHANGE CONTINUES THIS MORNING WITH UPPER LEVEL
TROUGHS OVER THE WESTERN BERING AND THE NORTHERN GULF...AND A LARGE
RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN BERING. THE WESTERN CANADA RIDGE HAS
TRANSLATED EAST TO THE ROCKIES. AT THE SURFACE...A DEEP LOW IS
APPROACHING AMCHITKA AND A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS OVER THE
GULF. A RIDGE COVERS THE AKPEN AND SOUTHWEST AK.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT IN BRINGING THE AMCHITKA LOW
STRAIGHT NORTH TO EASTERN RUSSIA BY FRI AFTERNOON. A SECOND LOW WILL
FOLLOW A SIMILAR TRACK...REACHING THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS FRI NIGHT AND
EASTERN RUSSIA SAT AFTERNOON.

LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER THE GULF WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST AND
DISSIPATE BY FRI MORNING. THIS WILL ALLOW HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
AKPEN AND WESTERN AK TO BUILD BOTH TO THE EAST BY FRI WHERE IT WILL
REMAIN THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND TO THE WEST ACROSS THE BERING
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THE FORECAST UTILIZES THE EC...AND THEN SOME HPC IN THE EXTENDED
PERIOD.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

IN THE WEST...STRONG WINDS AND BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THIS
MORNING OVER THE EXTREME WESTERN ALEUTIANS WITH RAIN AND STRONG WINDS
OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ISLANDS AND PRIBILOFS. DIMINISHED WINDS
AND PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR TONIGHT AND FRIDAY BEFORE THE NEXT LOW
BRINGS ANOTHER ROUND OF WIND LATER FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...WITH SNOW
IN THE WEST AND RAIN IN THE EAST. BY SUN ALL FLOW IS FROM THE SOUTH
AS THE HIGH BUILDS WEST. THIS WILL KEEP WIND AND RAIN FROM THE
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS EAST...AND SNOW IN THE WEST INTO THE BEGINNING OF
NEXT WEEK.
