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 Aug 29, 5:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 29, 5:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 PM AKDT MON AUG 29 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH ALL SYNOPTIC FEATURES THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. THE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE WILL RELY MAINLY ON THE NAM
ON THE EAST DOMAIN WHICH COVERS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA AND THE GULF OF
ALASKA...WITH THE GFS PREFERRED OVER THE WEST DOMAIN WHICH COVERS
SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE BERING SEA REGION.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A BAGGY RIDGE ALOFT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING BEAUTIFUL WEATHER BOTH
SUNDAY AND TODAY IS SEEING A PLETHORA OF DISTURBANCES WHICH ARE ONE
BY ONE ERODING ITS GRASP OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA OVER THE NEXT 24 TO
36 HOURS. THE FIRST SUCH DISTURBANCE THIS MORNING WAS UNSUCCESSFUL
AND FELL APART AS IT APPROACHED THE COOK INLET REGION. A SECOND
DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHCENTRAL THIS EVENING FROM THE
SOUTHWEST AND WILL BRING SOME LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS TO THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY. A CONSOLIDATING AND CONSIDERABLY STRONGER
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN BERING WILL GATHER
STEAM OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA TUESDAY NIGHT AND MOVE OVER SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA WEDNESDAY...AND THIS FEATURE WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN TO
MOST OF THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION AND SIGNAL THE ULTIMATE DEMISE OF THE
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ALOFT.

OVER THE BERING...A LARGE COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY
CONSOLIDATE INTO A MORE POTENT TROUGH ALOFT...THEN WILL MOVE INTO
SOUTHWEST ALASKA AS IT GATHERS SUPPORT FROM A STRONG JET
SOUTHWESTERLY JET STREAK ALOFT TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS JET STREAK WILL
USHER COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA AND BRING
WIDESPREAD RAIN TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA ON TUESDAY AND OVER SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. ON THE HEELS OF THIS
SYSTEM...ANOTHER STRONG JET STREAK WILL ACCOMPANY A STRONG LOW AS IT
DEPARTS EASTERN RUSSIA FOR THE NORTHERN BERING SEA ON WEDNESDAY.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTH AND EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...

CLEAR SKIES TODAY WILL SLOWLY GIVE WAY TO HIGH CLOUDS AS WEAK
DISTURBANCES MOVE THEIR WAY INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST
THROUGH TUESDAY. DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
INLAND...LARGELY CONFINED TO THE TALKEETNA AND ALASKA MOUNTAIN
RANGES. A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE INTO THE COOK INLET REGION AND
BRING A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN...BUT RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN ANY ONE
LOCATION SHOULD BE LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF HUNDREDTHS OF
AN INCH AS THE SYSTEM ENCOUNTERS STRONG RESISTANCE FROM THE SLOWLY
DEPARTING RIDGE ALOFT.

STRONG LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN BERING ALONG WITH A 130-KNOT
SOUTHWESTERLY JET STREAK WILL PUSH WIDESPREAD RAIN INTO THE REGION
TUESDAY NIGHT AND LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH MOST OF WEDNESDAY. THIS
SYSTEM WILL PUSH A WEAK FRONT OVER THE CENTRAL GULF ON TUESDAY TO THE
NORTH GULF ON WEDNESDAY...RESULTING IN THE FORMATION OF A RELATIVELY
WEAK BARRIER JET ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST AS WELL AS INCREASING
WINDS THROUGH TURNAGAIN ARM. THIS WILL RESULT IN SOME GUSTY WINDS AT
TIMES INTO SOUTH AND WEST PARTS OF ANCHORAGE TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...

A VERY ACTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL SEE CONTINUED
PERIODS OF RAIN FALL OVER THE ENTIRE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...

FAST PROGRESSIVE FLOW WILL KEEP THE BERING UNSETTLED WITH SYSTEMS
MOVING FROM RUSSIA EAST ACROSS THE BERING THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WILL LIKELY ESCAPE MOST OF
THE MORE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL AS THE MAIN STORM TRACK STAYS CONFINED
NORTH OF THE ISLAND CHAIN.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

THOUGH THE GLOBAL MODELS STRUGGLE WITH THE DETAILS...THE GENERAL
TREND IS TOWARDS A STRONG UPPER LOW DIGGING SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN
BERING SEA OR SOUTHWEST ALASKA TO THE SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND AS
STRONG RIDGES ALOFT BUILD ACROSS THE WESTERN BERING SEA AND OVER
NORTHWESTERN CANADA. THIS PATTERN WOULD RESULT IN RAIN ALONG THE GULF
COAST WITH DIURNAL CONVECTIVE SHOWERS AND PERHAPS ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS INLAND PORTIONS OF THE STATE THIS WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALES...176
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
