What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning 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 gale warning went out at Apr 2, 2:00 PM AKDT, 14 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 2, 2:00 PM AKDT, 14 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT MON APR 2 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS IN THE EAST INITIALIZED WELL AND HAE
SIMILAR AND REASONABLE FORECAST TRENDS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THE
HIGHER RESOLUTION NAM WILL BE USED THIS FORECAST CYCLE IN ORDER TO
CAPTURE OUTFLOW WINDS. IN THE WEST...THE ECMWF APPEARS TO BE THE MOST
CONSISTENT AND WILL USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH EXITING GRIDS.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
.500 MB...A SHORT WAVE WAS EVIDENT ACROSS THE NORTH GULF COAST AND
KENAI PEN THIS MORNING. THE WAVE HAS SINCE MOVED ACROSS EASTERN
BRISTOL BAY AND KODIAK ISLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND KICKED OFF SNOW
SHOWERS. FOG/STRATUS DEVELOPED UNDER CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS IN
THE SUBSIDENCE AREA ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER WAVE THIS MORNING. A
WEAK RIDGE WAS EVIDENT OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA. A BROAD TROUGH
EXTENDED FROM EASTERN RUSSIA...CENTRAL BERING SEA...THEN SW TO SOUTH
OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. THIS SET UP BROAD SW FLOW OVER MUCH OF THE
WEST AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS.

.SURFACE...
A OLD CUT-OFF CENTER SE OF THE GULF WILL REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY
THROUGH TONIGHT...THEN DRIFT SE AND WEAKEN. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WAS
EVIDENT OVER THE MAINLAND. A WEAKENING OCCLUDED FRONT OVER THE
CENTRAL BERING SEA IS MOVING SLOWLY EAST AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN. WEAK COLD ADVECTION ON THE BACKSIDE OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS
EVIDENT BY THE PRESENCE OF OPEN AND CLOSED CELL CU.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
.SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
OFFSHORE FLOW AND RELATIVELY FAIR SKIES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
REGION THROUGH TUE. AREAS OF FOG OVER COOK INLET AND THE ANCHORAGE
BOWL ARE EXPECTED AGAIN TONIGHT AND TUE MORNING. BRISK AND GUSTY
OUT-FLOW/GAP WINDS ACROSS THE EASTERN KENAI PEN AND NORTH GULF SHOULD
INTENSIFY SOME TONIGHT BEFORE WEAKENING TUE AFTERNOON. BROAD SWLY
FLOW AHEAD OF AN ADVANCING UPPER TROUGH AND SURFACE FRONT WILL BRING
INCREASING CLOUDS WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW TO THE WESTERN GULF
TUE NIGHT AND THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY WED. GAP
FLOWS WILL ALSO INCREASING ACROSS THE ANCHORAGE BOWL...NORTH
KENAI...AND MAT VALLEY AS PRESSURE GRADIENTS BUILD IN ADVANCE OF THE
FRONT.

SOUTHWEST...
NORTHERLY WINDS WILL DIMINISH ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AS WEAK RIDING
MOVES INTO BRISTOL BAY. A WEAKENING WEATHER FRONT APPROACHING THE
EASTERN BERING SEA WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES TO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA
COAST LATE TONIGHT. THIS FRONT SHOULD NOT BRING MUCH IN THE WAY OF
PRECIPITATION...HOWEVER WEAK SW FLOW WILL BRING STRATUS AND FOG
ACROSS THE REGION. A DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE WESTERN PACIFIC AND ITS
ASSOCIATED WEATHER FRONT WILL BRING SNOW AND SOME BLOWING SNOW LATE
TUE AFTERNOON/EVENING. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BECOME MIXED WITH RAIN
OVER THE AK PEN AND SOUTHERN BRISTOL BAY COAST.

ALEUTIANS/EASTERN BERING SEA...
A WEATHER FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. A DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC
INTENSIFIES AS IT MOVES SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS LATE TONIGHT.
THIS LOW WILL THEN MOVE EAST TUE/WED AND WEAKEN AS A TRIPLE POINT
DEVELOPS ALONG THE FRONTAL TROUGH TO THE NORTH AND MOVES TO NEAR THE
SW COAST WED. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER THE
PRIBILOFS LATE TUE/EARLY EVENING AS THE FRONTAL TROUGH APPROACHES.
BLOWING SNOW AND STRONG WINDS OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS...EAST OF
SHEMYA...ARE LIKELY TUE AS THE LOW AND THE BENT BACK OCCLUDED FRONT
MOVE INTO THE AREA. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TUE NIGHT AS THE LOW
MOVES EAST AND WEAKENS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WEEK. EXPECT GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND INTO THE WEEKEND. A STRONG FRONT WILL CROSS THE BERING
PUSHING UP AGAINST THE SOUTHWEST COAST BY SATURDAY. EXPECT RAIN AND
SNOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE BERING/ALEUTIANS
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...BLIZZARD WATCH ZONE 155.
