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, Apr 24, 1:40 PM AKDT, 2 hours 20 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
140 PM AKDT SUN APR 24 2011

CORRECTED WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A LARGE TROUGH PERSISTS OVER THE BERING
SEA WHILE HIGH PRESSURE HOLDS ITS OWN OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN
MAINLAND. THE BARRIER BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES IS A DECAYING FRONT
ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST. WHILE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO
BRING RAIN FROM PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND DOWN TO KODIAK ISLAND...COLD AIR
WRAPPING AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE ASSOCIATED LOW IS BRINGING
BLUSTERY CONDITIONS TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA. FURTHER WEST...A POTENT
BAROCLINIC LOW IS RAPIDLY DIGGING SOUTH OVER THE CENTRAL BERING SEA.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. ONLY MINOR
TWEAKS EXPECTED WITH THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...VERY STAGNANT PATTERN OVER THE PAST 36 HOURS WITH A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY BUTTING UP AGAINST THE COAST WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE KEEPS THE INTERIOR DRY. A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW NEAR THE
ALASKA PENINSULA IS MOVING VERY SLOWLY THIS AFTERNOON AS IT APPEARS
TO BE WAITING FOR THE LOW IN THE BERING TO FINALLY DROP DOWN AND
DISPLACE IT. MEANWHILE...MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL PERSIST ACROSS
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA WITH RAIN CONFINED TO THE COAST. A SHORTWAVE
ROTATING AROUND THE BASE OF THE TROF WILL BRING THE INTERIOR A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS MONDAY AND THEN A GRADUAL DRYING TREND WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MID WEEK. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY SHOULD BE PLEASANT DAYS WITH
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND TEMPERATURES NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE.

.SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...BREEZY AND CLOUDY CONDITIONS PERSIST OVER THE
SOUTHWEST MAINLAND THIS AFTERNOON AGAIN AS THE AKPEN LOW VERY SLOWLY
WEAKENS AND MOVES NORTH. THE GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS ALLOWING WINDS TO DIMINISH...ALTHOUGH ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL KEEP SKIES MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH SHOWERS LINGERING THROUGH
TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY
MORNING AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO INVADE THE AREA.

.ALEUTIANS...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS PREVAILING OVER PORTIONS OF THE
ALASKA PENINSULA WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE LOW. THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE LOW WILL PROLONG THE DANGEROUS
CONDITIONS THROUGH THIS EVENING...BEFORE THE LOW FINALLY TRANSITIONS
INTO BRISTOL BAY AND THE WINDS DIMINISH. SNOW SHOWERS WILL LINGER
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.

THE STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW HAS PUSHED THE ICE EDGE BEYOND THE PRIBILOF
ISLANDS TODAY WITH TEMPERATURES STRUGGLING TO REACH THE MID 20S UNDER
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. FURTHER WEST...AN IMPRESSIVE SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED
AND IS MOVING RAPIDLY TOWARD THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS. THIS
LOW WILL BRING GALE FORCE WINDS AND SNOW SHOWERS TO THE REGION
TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY.

ANOTHER NORTH PACIFIC LOW WILL DEVELOP AND RAPIDLY BRING A WARM FRONT
TO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS MONDAY EVENING AND EVENTUALLY REACH THE
SOUTHWEST COAST BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG GALE FORCE WINDS THROUGHOUT THE BERING AND HEAVY
PRECIPITATION ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
.PUBLIC...BLIZZARD WARNING 181
.MARINE...GALES 155 165
.FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
