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.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 6, 4:00 PM AKDT, 12 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT SAT OCT 6 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN CONTINUES WITH A LONGWAVE TROUGH
EXTENDING THROUGH THE BERING SEA INTO THE NORTHERN PACIFIC AND A
STRONG RIDGE CENTERED OFF THE WEST COAST OF CANADA...WITH BROAD
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES.
RAIN IS TAPERING OFF ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FAR
SOUTHEASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AS THE UPPER LEVEL JET MOVES OFF TO
THE EAST. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS IS BRINGING
RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS TO THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL PARTS OF THE CHAIN.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK
AS THE EASTERN PACIFIC RIDGE BUILDS NORTH AND WESTWARD OVER THE GULF
AND SOUTHERN MAINLAND ALASKA. THE LOW SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS WILL
DIVE SOUTH THIS WEEKEND...WITH THE MODELS IN CONSENSUS IN BRINGING IT
TO A POSITION NEAR 40N 170W AS OF MONDAY MORNING.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
THE BREAK IN PRECIPITATION WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS A WARM FRONT MOVES
NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF TONIGHT...SPREADING STEADY RAIN OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL AK FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. RAIN WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH
OF THE DAY ON SUNDAY BEFORE THE RIDGE BUILDS IN AND PROMOTES DRIER
CONDITIONS FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
