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 Jun 27, 5:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 5:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 PM AKDT MON JUN 27 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

EXCELLENT AGREEMENT THROUGH 72 HOURS...ECMWF OUTLIER IN MID AND LONG
RANGE. NAM PREFERRED THROUGH SHORT TERM FOR DETAIL. LITTLE OR NO
CHANGES MADE TO MID AND LONG RANGE FORECASTS.

SURFACE PATTERN IS RELATIVELY FLAT...UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS DOMINATE.
THIS IS PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE WHILE MODELS HAVE GOOD A GRASP ON LOWER
LEVEL FEATURES THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO RESOLVE SMALL UPPER LEVEL
FEATURES...ESPECIALLY THE STRENGTH AND TIMING OF MULTIPLE WEAK
EASTERLY SHORT WAVES.

.ANALYSIS AND SHORT TERM FORECAST...

A WEAK SURFACE LOW MOVES OUT OF KAMCHATKA AND TRAVERSES THE SOUTHERN
GULF OF ALASKA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. LITTLE WIND ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FEATURE BUT JUST DYNAMIC ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN LIGHT RAIN OR RAIN
SHOWERS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN BERING THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

CURRENT 991 MB BERING SEA LOW IS RAPIDLY WEAKENING AS IT MOVES
ONSHORE BUT IS STILL STRONG ENOUGH TO SPREAD STRATIFORM RAIN ACROSS
THE EASTERN BERING AND COASTAL SOUTHWEST ALASKA TODAY THROUGH
TOMORROW. LOW DISSIPATES NEAR BETHEL TOMORROW AFTERNOON BUT STRATUS
AND FOG IN ITS WAKE WILL PERSIST OVER THE EASTERN BERING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

AIRMASS OVER SOUTHERN ALASKAN MAINLAND REMAINS MOIST AND SLIGHTLY
UNSTABLE. A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL TRIGGER
PERIODIC SHOWERS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK ACROSS
SOUTHCENTRAL AND INLAND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA. THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN NORTH OF ALASKA RANGE AND EAST OF
MCGRATH...SITUATED ALONG THE THETA-E RIDGE...BUT ISOLATED LIGHTNING
STRIKES ARE STILL POSSIBLE IN NORTHERN SUSITNA VALLEY AND COPPER
RIVER BASIN DURING THE EVENING HOURS.

NEW 1001 MB TRIPLE POINT LOW DEVELOPS JUST SOUTH OF SEWARD TONIGHT
THEN STRENGTHENS TO 994 MB AND MOVES TO NORTHEASTERN GULF OF ALASKA
TUESDAY NIGHT...ALL IN RESPONSE TO LONG WAVE TROUGH ALOFT DIGGING
INTO NORTHERN GULF DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME. WEAK WARM FRONT
PRECEDING THE LOW WILL SPREAD LIGHT RAIN ACROSS THE GULF OF ALASKA
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BUT REAL IMPACT OF SYSTEM WILL BE TO
RETIGHTEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE GULF COAST. THE USUAL GUSTY
SOUTHEAST GAP WINDS DROP OFF LATE TONIGHT BUT RETURN TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY.

.UPPER LEVELS AND LONG TERM FORECAST...

THE LOW WAVE TROUGH ALOFT OVER EASTERN BERING AND THE STRONG UPPER
LEVEL LOW CENTER OVER NORTHWESTERN CANADA WILL MERGE AND BUILD
SOUTHWARD OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 48
HOURS. JET STREAM IS PUSHED WELL SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA IN THE
PROCESS WHICH SHOULD KEEP NORTH PACIFIC STORMS WELL SOUTH OF THE
ALEUTIANS AND GULF OF ALASKA THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY. DYNAMIC UPPER
LEVELS COMBINED WITH A NEARLY FLAT PRESSURE FIELD IN THE LOWER LEVELS
IS CONDUCIVE TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS...COOL TEMPERATURES...AND LITTLE
WIND.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 155 165 170.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
