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 Apr 22, 2:00 PM AKDT, 14 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 22, 2:00 PM AKDT, 14 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT SUN APR 22 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS INITIALIZED WELL. FORECAST TRENDS THROUGH
THE SHORT TERM ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT AND REASONABLE.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
.500MB...A TROUGH EXTENDED FROM A LOW NEAR THE CHUKCHI SEA ACROSS THE
SUSITNA VALLEY/KENAI PEN TO A LOW OVER THE EASTERN GULF. THE TROUGH
OVER SOUTHCENTRAL IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN IN PLACE THROUGH TONIGHT AS
THE GULF CENTER MOVES NE AND WEAKENS. A LOW JUST NORTH OF ADAK IS
CONTINUING EAST AND WILL WEAKEN THROUGH MON. A STRONG WESTERLY JET IS
EVIDENT SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS.

.SURFACE...
A 980S LOW WAS EVIDENT JUST NORTH OF ADAK WITH A FRONTAL SYSTEM
EXTENDING ACROSS THE PRIBILOFS TO JUST WEST OF COLD BAY THIS MORNING.
STRONG SOUTHERLY PRE-FRONTAL WINDS OF 60 MPH  NEAR COLD BAY WERE
REPORTED THIS MORNING. STRONG NW FLOW WITH COLD ADVECTION WAS EVIDENT
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE WEATHER FRONT/LOW WITH WINDS GUSTING AROUND 50
MPH NEAR SHEMYA THIS MORNING. PRECIPITATION WAS GENERALLY MIXED OVER
MUCH OF THE WEST...EXCEPT FOR THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS WHICH CONTINUE
WITH SNOW THROUGH NOON TODAY.

FOG FORMED OVER THE NORTHERN KENAI PEN OVERNIGHT AS CLOUDS CLEARED
THE AREA. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WERE EVIDENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
KENAI PEN...SUSITNA VALLEY AND ACROSS NORTHERN COOK INLET.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
.SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...A SOMEWHAT SPRING/SUMMER TIME LOOK TO THE
PATTERN WILL BE EVIDENT TODAY WITH A WEAK THERMAL TROUGH OVER THE
INTERIOR AND RIDGING ALONG THE GULF COAST. AFTERNOON SEA BREEZES ARE
EXPECTED INTO THIS EVENING. STABILITY INDICES SHOW THE GREATEST
CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION THROUGH MONDAY TO BE ALONG
THE ALASKA RANGE IN THE COPPER RIVER/NORTHERN SUSITNA...AND ALONG THE
TALKEETNA MOUNTAINS. INDICES WOULD INDICATE MAINLY SHOWERS...THOUGH A
A STRAY THUNDERSTORM ALONG THE MOUNTAINS WOULD NOT BE SURPRISING.
MUCH OF THE GULF WILL COME UNDER THE INFLUENCE THE BERING SEA LOW AND
FRONT ON MON. THE FRONT SHOULD ELONGATE INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF AS THE
LOW MOVES EAST THEN SE TO THE SOUTHERN GULF MON NIGHT. THE MAIN BAND
OF RAIN WILL AFFECT KODIAK ISLAND WITH LITTLE MAKING IT MUCH FURTHER
NORTH.

.SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/AK PEN...
THE LOW NEAR ADAK MOVES TO NEAR FALSE PASS MON AFTERNOON AND
WEAKENS...THEN MOVES TO THE SOUTHERN GULF MON NIGHT. THE ASSOCIATED
FRONTAL TROUGH EXTENDING ACROSS THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS/WESTERN AK PEN
ELONGATES SE INTO THE GULF MON. THE FRONT IS SLOWLY WEAKENING AS A
TRIPLE POINT WELL SOUTH OF THE AK PEN MOVES EAST. QPF AMOUNTS SHOULD
BE RELATIVELY LOW OVER THE EASTERN BERING PORTION OF THE FRONT AND
WILL BE PREDOMINATELY MIXED. STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS ACROSS THE AK PEN
WILL DIMINISH THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AS WINDS INCREASE ACROSS SW
ALASKA...STRONGEST ALONG THE COASTS AND CHANNELED TERRAIN. WINDS WILL
DECREASE OVER MUCH OF THE EASTERN BERING SEA MON AND MON NIGHT AS THE
LOW WEAKENS AND MOVES SOUTH. STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE
OF THE SYSTEM NEAR THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL MOVE TO THE CENTRAL
BERING/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS MON..THEN WEAKEN.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
WEAK FLOW WILL REMAIN OVER MAINLAND ALASKA FOR THE LATER PART OF THE
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND WITH ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO HAVE AFTERNOON
SHOWERS FOR MANY AREAS. LOWS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE NORTH PACIFIC INTO
THE GULF BUT WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS AND BRING RAIN AND
STRONG WINDS TO THE ISLANDS AS THEY PASS.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALES 160 175 176 411.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
