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 May 15, 5:30 AM AKDT, 2 hours 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 15, 5:30 AM AKDT, 2 hours 10 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
530 AM AKDT SUN MAY 15 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ENCOMPASSES
MUCH OF THE BERING WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE COVERS THE CENTER OF
ALASKA. ONE UPPER LEVEL LOW WITHIN THIS TROUGH REGION IS CENTERED
JUST WEST OF DUTCH HARBOR WHILE A SECOND LOW IS JUST SOUTH OF THE
KAMCHATKA PENINSULA.

.AT THE SURFACE...A 977 MB LOW LOCATED BENEATH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
JUST WEST OF DUTCH HARBOR IS PROGRESSING RAPIDLY EASTWARD. A
DISSIPATING FRONT REMAINS OVER KODIAK ISLAND AND IS SUPPORTING LIGHT
SHOWERS IN THE AREA. A RIDGE REMAINS ALONG THE CENTRAL GULF COAST DUE
TO ONSHORE FLOW AND MID LEVEL RIDGING...WHILE DIURNAL HEATING AND
DOWNSLOPE FLOW ARE SUPPORTING A THERMAL TROUGH IN THE INTERIOR. DUE
TO THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES...SOUTHERLY FLOW
CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF THE GULF COAST.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...IN THE SHORT TERM...MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD
AGREEMENT SO THE NAM MODEL WAS FAVORED FOR ITS ABILITY TO CAPTURE
TOPOGRAPHIC EFFECTS. MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT IN THE MIDTERM
BUT DISAGREE ON THE PROGRESSION OF A LOW IN THE GULF BY THURSDAY.
THE GFS SHOWED THE GREATEST RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY SO A BLEND OF THE
GFS AND HPC GUIDANCE WAS USED.

.SOUTHCENTRAL...A DISSIPATING FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL
PROGRESS FROM KODIAK ISLAND TOWARDS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. AS A
RESULT...SHOWERS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE EAST GULF COAST AND CLOUDS WILL
RETURN TO THE SOUTHCENTRAL INTERIOR TODAY. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A
WEAKER THERMAL TROUGH.  HOWEVER...AN APPROACHING LOW AND FRONT FROM
THE BERING WILL HELP TO SUPPORT SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE REGION SO
EXPECT WINDS TO BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. A MORE POTENT FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE EASTERN GULF BY MONDAY...BRINGING STEADIER RAIN TO MUCH
OF THE GULF COAST.

.SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...A DISSIPATING FRONT IS BRINGING ISOLATED
SHOWERS TO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND BRISTOL BAY REGIONS.
MEANWHILE...THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE EAST ALEUTIAN LOW IS
BRINGING STEADY RAIN TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THIS RAIN WILL CONTINUE
ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE FRONT AND
LOW PROGRESS EAST. GUSTY WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT ARE
POSSIBLE THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN TODAY ACROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA.

.BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...RAIN SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS TODAY AS THE 977 MB BERING LOW MOVES
EAST. A SERIES OF WEAK LOWS AND TROUGHS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE BERING
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WHICH WILL SUPPORT LIGHT SHOWERS AND LIGHT
WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE ALEUTIANS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...AN ACTIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE WITH LOW
PRESSURE DOMINATING THE BERING AND GULF AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER
THE INTERIOR.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...FLOOD WATCH...KUSKOKWIM RIVER...ZONE 152
MARINE...GALES...155 160 165
