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 May 16, 1:30 PM AKDT, 2 hours 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 16, 1:30 PM AKDT, 2 hours 30 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
130 PM AKDT WED MAY 16 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...UPPER RIDGE IS BUILDING OVER MAINLAND
ALASKA RESULTING IN CLEAR SKIES ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AND INTERIOR
SOUTHWEST ALASKA. 12Z SOUNDINGS FROM AROUND THE AREA SHOW AIR MASS
IS STILL QUITE COLD...WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES AROUND ZERO. BECAUSE
OF THIS SURFACE TEMPERATURES WERE PREDOMINANTLY BELOW FREEZING THIS
MORNING...BUT WILL RISE 20 TO 30 DEGREES UNDER SUNNY SKIES TODAY.
RETURN FLOW ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIDGE IS COMBINING WITH SURFACE
BASED TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS TO PRODUCE AREAS OF STRATUS ALONG THE
BRISTOL BAY COAST. HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH IS CENTERED OVER THE BERING
SEA AND ALEUTIANS WITH TWO EMBEDDED CLOSED LOWS...ONE SOUTH OF THE
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND ONE DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN
BERING. A VERY BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE IS CENTERED
OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WITH AN OCCLUDED FRONT APPROACHING THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA. CLOUDS RAIN AND FOG ARE ALL
FAIRLY EXTENSIVE ACROSS THE REGION.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN TRACK AND ORIENTATION
OF FRONT MOVING INTO THE GULF THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.
THE ECMWF SHOWS THE BEST RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY SO WILL TREND
TOWARD THE 12Z SOLUTION WHICH BRINGS THE FRONT A LITTLE FURTHER
NORTH. THERE ARE ALSO DIFFERENCES IN LOW POSITIONS OUT WEST...BUT
NONE OF THE MODELS SHOW REALLY GOOD CONSISTENCY. WILL GENERALLY
STICK CLOSE TO THE INHERITED FORECAST.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN OVER
MAINLAND ALASKA THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS...WITH A CLOSED CIRCULATION
DEVELOPING OVER NORTHWEST ALASKA THURSDAY NIGHT. STRONG SUBSIDENCE
UNDERNEATH THE RIDGE WILL PROVIDE CONTINUED CLEAR SKIES WITH LARGE
DIURNAL RANGES IN TEMPERATURE. THE COPPER RIVER BASIN WILL REMAIN
ALONG THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE RIDGE AND MAY BE JUST UNSTABLE ENOUGH
FOR ISOLATED DIURNAL SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF
OF THE ZONE. WITH A SURFACE HIGH INLAND AND ANOTHER OVER THE
GULF/NORTHEAST PACIFIC WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
THIS WILL CHANGE FRIDAY AS FRONT MOVES NORTHWARD INTO THE GULF AND
RIDGE STRENGTHENS ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST...RESULTING IN GUSTY
WINDS FROM TURNAGAIN ARM/ANCHORAGE TO THE MAT VALLEY AND COPPER
RIVER BASIN. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN HOW STRONG THIS RIDGE WILL
GET AND THUS HOW STRONG THE WINDS WILL BE. THE KEY WILL BE THE
NORTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT...WITH A FURTHER NORTH TRACK
RESULTING IN A STRONGER RIDGE. WITH A VERY DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE
STRONG WINDS WOULD NECESSITATE CONSIDERATION OF RED FLAG WARNINGS.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...INTERIOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL REMAIN SOLIDLY
UNDER THE RIDGE SO DRY CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THROUGH FRIDAY.
THE WEATHER ALONG THE SOUTHWEST COAST WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT...AS
A FRONT APPROACHES TONIGHT AND THURSDAY BRINGING WIND...CLOUDS...AND
AREAS OF RAIN.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN FIRMLY ENTRENCHED
ACROSS THE BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK...MAINTAINING CLOUDY AND WET CONDITIONS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...UPPER LOW DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS WESTERN
BERING TODAY WILL MOVE INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH UNDERCUTTING
THE LOW ALONG THE ALEUTIANS AS WE MOVE INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL
BECOME THE DOMINANT LOW CENTER BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND.
THUS...EXPECT CONDITIONS WILL DRY OUT OVER THE BERING AND ALEUTIANS.
MEANWHILE...THE RIDGE OVER MAINLAND ALASKA WILL WEAKEN AS TROUGHS
APPROACH FROM ALL SIDES. A MORE WELL DEFINED THERMAL TROUGH WILL
ALSO DEVELOP AS LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY WARM.
THE END RESULT WILL BE DIURNAL CONVECTION WHICH IS VERY TYPICAL FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE GULF COAST WILL REMAIN ON THE CLOUDIER AND
WETTER SIDE ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF UPPER LOW WHICH SETS UP
OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...FLOOD ADVISORY 155 NEAR BETHEL.
         FLOOD WATCH 155 OSCARVILLE TO NAPAKIAK.
MARINE...NONE.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
