What forecasters said that day

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.

NWS Anchorage, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Apr 10, 4:00 PM AKDT, 12 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 4:00 PM AKDT, 12 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT SUN APR 10 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE CONTINUING TO DO WELL. THERE IS EVEN
BETTER AGREEMENT TODAY AS TO HOW THE SMALL LOWS EMBEDDED IN THE LOW
COMPLEX IN THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL BE HANDLED.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN HAS A BROAD
TROUGH OVER THE MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE WITH SLIGHT RIDGING IN
ZONAL FLOW OVER THE BERING SEA. THIS SLIGHT RIDGING WILL AMPLIFY OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS INTO A MORE SIGNIFICANT HIGH PRESSURE REGION.
THE SURFACE WILL REFLECT THIS RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE CENTRAL BERING
SEA AND NORTHWARD INTO THE ARCTIC OCEAN. THERE IS A BROAD COMPLEX LOW
IN THE GULF OF ALASKA THAT WILL PERSIST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
THE ATMOSPHERE IS GENERALLY UNSTABLE WITH COLD AIR ALOFT UNDER THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND THE SUN NOW BEING ABLE TO MORE EFFECTIVELY
HEAT THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE. THE AREA OF GREATEST INSTABILITY IS EAST
OF THE ALASKA RANGE.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...WITH THE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP...BUT MOSTLY BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS. A
WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVED INTO THE COOK INLET REGION THIS
MORNING AND THAT PROVIDED ENOUGH ADDITIONAL LIFT TO TRIGGER SOME
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE ANCHORAGE AND MATANUSKA
VALLEY AREAS DURING THE MORNING.
SNOW SHOWERS WILL ALSO PERSIST IN THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALEUTIAN
ISLANDS IN WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THOSE AREAS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST... THE BROAD COMPLEX LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA
WILL DRIFT SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND THE
DEVELOPING BERING SEA RIDGE WILL EXTEND INTO THE ARCTIC BRINGING
NORTHERLY FLOW TO MOST OF MAINLAND ALASKA BY MID WEEK. THIS WILL
BRING DECREASING CLOUDS AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES. THERE WILL STILL BE
SOME SHOWERS OVER THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH MID WEEK AS THE ATMOSPHERE
REMAINS GENERALLY UNSTABLE.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 150 155 160 170.
         HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY 160 165 179.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
