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 May 28, 1:15 PM AKDT, 14 hours 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 28, 1:15 PM AKDT, 14 hours 45 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
115 PM AKDT SAT MAY 28 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A TROUGH IS CENTERED OVER THE BERING
SEA/ALEUTIANS WITH A RIDGE OVER MOST OF MAINLAND ALASKA. THE
DIVIDING BOUNDARY IS VERY EVIDENT IN SATELLITE IMAGERY WITH A BAND
OF CLOUDS AND SHOWERS RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT EDGE OF THE TROUGH FROM
THE NORTHERN GULF ACROSS THE KENAI PENINSULA TO INTERIOR BRISTOL
BAY AND THEN OVER THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA INTO THE NORTHERN BERING SEA.
THIS BAND IS SLOWLY DRIFTING NORTH AND EASTWARD INTO THE RIDGE
CAUSING INCREASING CLOUDS. THERE IS ALSO A BATCH OF SHOWERS PRODUCED
BY AN UPPER LEVEL VORTICITY MAXIMUM IS EXITING THE SUSITNA VALLEY
AND HEADED INTO THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY. THE REST OF THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND IS STARTING OUT THE DAY RELATIVELY SUNNY AND DRY...ALTHOUGH
CUMULUS CLOUDS ARE BEGINNING TO POP UP AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES WARM.

EMBEDDED WITHIN THE TROUGH ARE TWO UPPER LEVEL LOWS...ONE ALONG THE
ALASKA PENINSULA AND ANOTHER SOUTHWEST OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS.
THESE ARE PRODUCING WIDESPREAD CLOUDS...BUT MOST LAND AREAS REMAIN
DRY.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MAIN MODEL DIFFERENCES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS
ARE IN HANDLING OF SURFACE LOWS OUT ALONG THE ALEUTIANS. THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH EVOLVES INTO A SINGLE VERY LARGE LOW CENTERED NEAR
THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WITH MULTIPLE EMBEDDED FEATURES ROTATING
AROUND IT. MODELS ALMOST ALWAYS STRUGGLE WITH TIMING/PLACEMENT
OF THESE FEATURES. WILL STICK CLOSE TO INHERITED FORECAST WHICH
MOST CLOSELY MATCHES THE LATEST ECMWF SOLUTION.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHERN MAINLAND ALASKA...UPPER TROUGH WILL NUDGE A LITTLE FURTHER
INLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING PUSHING CLOUDS AND SHOWERS
NORTHWARD. FORWARD PROGRESSION WILL THEN COME TO A HALT OVERNIGHT
AND RIDGE WILL MOVE BACK SOUTHWARD...SO ANY SHOWERS THAT ARE
OBSERVED WILL NOT BE WIDESPREAD OR LONG-LIVED. OFFSHORE FLOW ALOFT
WILL DOMINATE SOUTHCENTRAL ON SUNDAY WHICH WILL PRODUCE MORE
SUNSHINE. SUBSIDENCE ALOFT WILL LIKELY PUT A CAP ON MOST
CONVECTION...ALTHOUGH THERE MIGHT BE JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR
ISOLATED SHOWERS TO DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS. SOUTHWEST ALASKA
WILL STILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE TROUGH ON SUNDAY SO EXPECT
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WHICH WILL KEEP SURFACE TEMPERATURES A LITTLE
COOLER AND PREVENT MUCH IN THE WAY OF SHOWER FORMATION. THE REMNANTS
OF THE TROUGH WILL PUSH NORTHEASTWARD TO SOUTHCENTRAL ON MONDAY
WHICH WILL TRIGGER SHOWERS (PRIMARILY INLAND) WHILE SOUTHWEST
ALASKA WILL BE DRY WITH SOME SUNSHINE. A LOW TRACKING INTO THE
EASTERN BERING SEA WILL LIKELY BRING WIND AND RAIN TO SOUTHWEST
ALASKA TUESDAY...ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT
TRACK OF THIS LOW.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...PRIMARY LOW WILL SET UP SHOP NEAR THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS SUNDAY. PACIFIC LOWS WILL THEN BEGIN TO DEVELOP AND TRACK
NORTHWARD ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THIS MAIN LOW BEGINNING
MONDAY. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE TRACK OF THESE LOWS...BUT
GENERALLY EXPECT A TRACK FROM THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS/SOUTHERN ALASKA
PENINSULA NORTHWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING SEA.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...UPPER TROUGH POSITION WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT
NORTH AND EASTWARD AS WE HEAD THROUGH NEXT WEEK...WHICH WILL ALSO
SHIFT THE STORM TRACK EASTWARD AND AFFECT THE ALASKA MAINLAND. THE
SYSTEM OVER THE EASTERN BERING TUESDAY WILL PUSH A FRONT EASTWARD
ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA AND THE GULF TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVING WILL BE THE REMNANTS OF TYPHOON
SONGDA...CURRENTLY PROGGED TO ARRIVE IN THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA REGION
THURSDAY AND AFFECT THE REST OF THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND BY FRIDAY.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE WARNING 170 172.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
