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 Sep 12, 5:00 AM AKDT, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 12, 5:00 AM AKDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT MON SEP 12 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN FEATURES A LARGE BROAD TROUGH CENTERED NORTHEAST
OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA STRETCHING SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE BERING
AND ALEUTIANS. AN UPPER RIDGE STRETCHES FROM THE PANHANDLE THROUGH
THE CHUKCHI SEA. A LARGE UPPER LOW SPAWNING FROM THE PINCHED OFF
REMNANTS OF LAST WEEKS HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH CHURNS NORTHWARD INTO
THE GULF OF ALASKA AND IS BEGINNING TO PHASE WITH LARGER TROUGH TO
THE WEST. THE INTERACTION OF THESE FEATURES WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR
WEATHER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAND FOR THE SHORT TERM.

AT THE SURFACE...EACH OF THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES SPORTS A SURFACE
REFLECTION...A BROAD LOW PRESSURE COVERING MOST OF THE BERING SEA
WITH OCCLUDED/COLD FRONT FROM SAINT PAUL ISLAND INTO THE NORTH
CENTRAL PACIFIC. A UPPER 980MB LOW MOVES INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA
BRINGING RAIN TO THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND. A SURFACE RIDGE STRETCHES
FROM NORTHWEST TERRITORIES INTO THE CENTRAL INTERIOR.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
GUIDANCE IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL SYNOPTIC
FEATURES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THE GULF UPPER LOW WILL BECOME AN
OPEN WAVE AND PHASE WITH THE BERING SEA TROUGH MOVING NORTHWARD INTO
THE INTERIOR. THE LARGE UPPER LOW OVER KAMCHATKA WILL DRIFT OVER THE
CENTRAL BERING BY MIDWEEK WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING ACROSS THE AKPEN
INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE SURFACE LOW IN THE GULF WILL ASSIMILATE
INTO THE BROAD AREA OF TROUGHING FROM BRISTOL BAY TO THE AKPEN.
DETAILS BECOME MUDDLED AFTER MIDWEEK FOR THE EXTENDED FORECAST BUT
GUIDANCE AND DEVELOPING PATTERN SUGGESTS A BROAD UPPER LOW OVER THE
BERING WITH EMBEDDED BAROCLINIC DISTURBANCES IN THE FASTER WESTERLY
FLOW SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN MAKING FOR AN ACTIVE WEEK.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...INCREASING CLOUDINESS AND RAIN SPREADING
NORTHWARD INTO THE INTERIOR AS THE GULF OF ALASKA LOW MOVES
NORTHWARD. COASTAL AREAS WILL SEE THE BRUNT OF THE PRECIPITATION
WHILE SHOWERS WILL BECOME DOMINANT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CHUGACH.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...INCREASING CLOUDS FROM THE AKPEN THROUGH THE YUKON
DELTA. CHANCE FOR RAIN INCREASES THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR THE BRISTOL
BAY AREA SPREADING NORTHWARD TO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA REGION BY THE
AFTERNOON.

BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
SLACKEN THIS MORNING. AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL PERSIST ACROSS
THE CENTRAL BERING. RAIN WILL CONTINUE MAINLY FOR THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS AND BRISTOL BAY REGIONS. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO MOVE
INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
BY LATE WEEK THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL FEATURE A BROAD UPPER LEVEL
LOW PRESSURE CENTERED IN THE VICINITY OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS
ENCOMPASSING MUCH OF THE BERING SEA. THE ENHANCED WESTERLIES TO THE
SOUTH OF THE TROUGH WILL HARBOR DIFFICULT TO TIME DISTURBANCES MOVING
FROM THE ALEUTIANS INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. DETAILS OF THE FORECAST
WILL BECOME CLEARER WITH TIME BUT THE ACTIVE WEATHER FOR SOUTHERN
ALASKA LOOKS TO CONTINUE.
