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 Nov 22, 5:50 AM AKST, 10 hours 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 22, 5:50 AM AKST, 10 hours 10 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
550 AM AKST TUE NOV 22 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A COLD UPPER LOW IS DROPPING INTO THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA THIS
MORNING. ACCOMPANYING THIS LOW IS SOME OF THE COLDEST AIR OF THE
SEASON SO FAR. WIND CHILL ADVISORIES REMAIN OUT FOR ALL OF SOUTHWEST
ALASKA AS WELL AS THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND THOMPSON PASS IN
SOUTHCENTRAL. MEANWHILE...A RELATIVELY WEAK SURFACE LOW HAS DEVELOPED
IN THE NORTHERN GULF. THIS IS SPREADING LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW ACROSS
BOTH COASTAL AREAS AS WELL AS INLAND AREAS AROUND COOK INLET. THIS
FALLING SNOW IS EXTRAORDINARILY LIGHT AND FLUFFY...AND IS BEING
EASILY BLOWN AROUND BY GUSTY WINDS AROUND PARTS OF ANCHORAGE. FURTHER
SOUTH...HURRICANE FORCE WINDS ARE BLOWING ACROSS THE BARREN ISLANDS
AND KODIAK ISLAND AS COLD AND DENSE AIR FROM SOUTHWEST ACCELERATES
THROUGH THE GAPS IN THE ALASKA AND ALEUTIAN MOUNTAIN RANGES.

OUT WEST...HIGH PRESSURE IS HANGING TOUGH OVER THE CENTRAL BERING
SEA...CREATING UNSEASONABLY CALM WEATHER FOR MANY AREAS.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE DOING QUITE WELL WITH THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN...BUT
ARE STRUGGLING A BIT WITH SOME OF THE FINER DETAILS OF THE SMALL
SURFACE LOWS THAT WILL BE ROTATING AROUND IN THE GULF THROUGH
MIDWEEK. THOUGHT NOT PERFECT...THE NAM HAS INITIALIZED BEST WITH THE
SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY OUTSIDE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THUS THE NAM WAS
USED TO MAKE MAINLY MINOR CHANGES TO THE EXISTING FORECAST.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN
THE LOW IN THE GULF AND HIGH PRESSURE IN THE INTERIOR WILL PEAK BY
LATE THIS MORNING ACROSS THE BARREN ISLANDS AND KODIAK ISLAND ZONE.
MEANWHILE...THE LOW CURRENTLY NEAR PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WILL WEAKEN
AND MAIN ENERGY IN THE GULF SHOULD SHIFT SOUTHWARD BY MIDDAY TODAY.
THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER THE EASTERN KENAI
PENINSULA TO ABATE THIS AFTERNOON AS WINDS DECREASE AND FALLING SNOW
DIMINISHES. WIDESPREAD OVERRUNNING SNOWFALL SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH
EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE ANCHORAGE BOWL AND THE WESTERN KENAI
PENINSULA...AS SUPPORTED BY THE SUBSTANTIAL TEMPERATURE INVERSION
PRESENT ON THE MORNING SOUNDING.

WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...COLD AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WITH DANGEROUS
WIND CHILLS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING BEFORE THE WIND
DIMINISHES. HOWEVER...COLD AIR WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE OVER MOST OF THE ALEUTIANS SLOWLY
WEAKENS...ALLOWING A RELATIVELY WEAK LOW TO CROSS THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS LATE WEDNESDAY WITH MINIMAL IMPACTS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE OVERALL PATTERN OF COLD AND MOSTLY DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR
THE MAINLAND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. LONG RANGE MODELS ARE STILL
SUGGESTING A PATTERN SHIFT BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND THAT SHOULD
BRING WARMER BUT MORE ACTIVE WEATHER TO MOST OF THE STATE.
