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, Aug 14, 5:00 AM AKDT, 11 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT SUN AUG 14 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODEL GUIDANCE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH THE SYNOPTICS AND THE
EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER TROUGH OVER ALASKA. ALL GLOBAL MODELS PLUS NAM
ALL BRING THE COLD CORE UPPER LOW OVER ANCHORAGE BY LATE TONIGHT AND
DROP IT IN THE NORTHERN GULF ON MONDAY. AT THE SAME TIME THE UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE BERING IS FLATTENED BOTH BY THE COLD CORE LOW AND A
WEAKER UPPER LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. BY MID WEEK A
LESS VIGOROUS DISTURBANCE WILL REINFORCE THE TROUGH OVER WESTERN
ALASKA WHILE THE ALEUTIAN DISTURBANCE PROPAGATES EASTWARD JUST SOUTH
OF THE CHAIN. TRANSITIONING INTO THE EXTENDED PERIOD...SOME MODEL
DISCREPANCY ARISES WITH THE HANDLING OF AN UPPER LOW AND ATTENDANT
SURFACE LOW COMING OUT OF KAMCHATKA AS IT INTERACTS WITH THE LEFT
OVER BAROCLINIC ZONE BETWEEN THE MAINLAND ALASKA TROUGH AND
APPROACHING WESTERN BERING LOW.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AN ELONGATED CLOSED UPPER LOW IS DRAPED FROM THE UPPER YUKON VALLEY
THROUGH THE BROOKS RANGE. AN ANOMALOUS UPPER RIDGE REMAINS PARKED
OVER THE NORTHERN PACIFIC AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. BETWEEN THESE TWO
FEATURES A MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW EXISTS FROM THE NORTHERN BERING
THROUGH THE SOUTHWESTERN INTERIOR. ANOTHER UPPER LOW ROTATES IN THE
EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA.

AT THE SURFACE...BROAD WEAK LOW PRESSURE ENCOMPASSES THE EASTERN
INTERIOR EXTENDING THROUGH THE NORTHERN GULF. A SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDS
FROM THE NORTHERN PACIFIC THROUGH THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TOWARD THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH/LOW EXTENDS JUST SOUTH OF THE
WESTERN ALEUTIANS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...DESCENDING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL KEEP
SEASONABLY COOL AND MOIST WEATHER IN THE FORECAST. MOSTLY CLOUDY TO
OVERCAST CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL TRANSITION
TO WIDESPREAD RAIN THIS MORNING AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL ALASKA. RAIN WILL TAPER OFF FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ON
MONDAY LEAVING SCATTERED SHOWERS IN ITS WAKE. MAINLY IN THE COPPER
RIVER BASIN. WITH THE UPPER TROUGH HANGING AROUND THROUGH MID WEEK
SHOWERS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR MOST OF THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE PREVAILING WARM CONDITIONS OF THE LAST COUPLE
DAYS WILL BE REPLACED BY A COOLER REGIME. MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS
AND COOLER CONDITIONS IN STORE FOR THE SHORT TERM. RAIN IS EXPECTED
FOR THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA REGION THROUGH THE MORNING TAPERING OFF
TOWARD THE AFTERNOON. RAIN MAY HANG AROUND THROUGH MONDAY MORNING FOR
COASTAL REGIONS AND THE KUSKOKWIM MOUNTAINS. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE POSSIBLE ON MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE COLD CORE
LINGERING OVERHEAD. WHILE THERE MAY BE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY SCATTERED SHOWERS REMAIN IN THE FORECAST.

BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...THE RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL/EASTERN
ALEUTIANS THAT HAS BROUGHT UNSEASONABLE WEATHER TO THE REGION WILL
BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN TODAY INTO MONDAY RETURNING CLOUDIER AND MOIST
CONDITIONS TO THE REGION. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL TRAVERSE THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS TODAY BRINGING A PERIOD OF
RAIN FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A WARM FRONT MOVING NORTHWARD
WILL KEEP RAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR THE WESTERN/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS
THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
LONG RANGE PATTER FEATURES A BROAD TROUGH OVER MOST OF ALASKA WITH A
FAST MOIST FLOW CENTERED OVER THE ALEUTIANS. THE FEATURE TO FOCUS ON
FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD IS A DISTURBANCE PROPAGATING FROM THE
KAMCHATKA PENINSULA EASTWARD IN THE VICINITY OF THE ALEUTIANS. THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOOKS TO DEEPEN OVER THE BERING MID WEEK BRINGING
THE THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD RAIN AND GALE CONDITIONS MOVING INTO THE
BRISTOL BAY AREA BY THE END OF THE WEEK. OVER THE MAINLAND THE
LINGERING COLD AIR ALOFT WILL REMAIN THE FOCUS FOR ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE WEEK.
