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 Oct 28, 1:00 PM AKDT, 3 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 28, 1:00 PM AKDT, 3 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 100 PM AKDT SUN OCT 28 2012 .MODEL DISCUSSION... GUIDANCE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM. FORECASTS GENERALLY USED THE 12Z NAM FOR ITS BETTER REPRESENTATION OF SMALL SCALE/TERRAIN INDUCED FEATURES. .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE BERING SEA WITH A LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ANOTHER OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC CENTERED NEAR 46 DEGREES NORTH LATITUDE AND 155 DEGREES WEST LONGITUDE. A DEVELOPING UPPER LOW IS OVER EXTREME NORTHEAST RUSSIA AND MOVING TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE BERING SEA WILL RETROGRADE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE RUSSIAN LOW MOVES INTO MAINLAND ALASKA. THE INITIAL COLD FRONT WILL REACH SOUTHERN ALASKA MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE WEAK...AND THIS COMBINED WITH THE LIMITED MOISTURE AVAILABLE WILL LIMIT CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION MAINLY TO HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AND AREAS FROM ABOUT GLENNALLEN/VALDEZ EASTWARD FROM LATE MONDAY TO LATE TUESDAY. THIS FRONT WILL ACT TO INCREASE WINDS OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA...MAINLY THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN AND DOWN COOK INLET. AS THE UPPER LOW ITSELF DROPS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA INTO THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA LATER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT WESTWARD SHIFT OF PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO INCLUDE WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AS WELL. WITH THE LOCATION OF THE SURFACE LOW IT LOOKS LIKE ANCHORAGE WILL STAY DRY AT LEAST INTO WEDNESDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST... THE GLOBAL MODELS SHOW FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST WITH THE UPPER LOW GENERALLY HANGING OUT OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE WARNING 130 132. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. LUDWIG OCT 12
