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 Jun 3, 4:00 PM AKDT, 0 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 4:00 PM AKDT, 0 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT SUN JUN 3 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS SHOWS A PAIR OF
LOWS AND HIGHS OVER THE FORECAST AREA TODAY.
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS JUST SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WITH A
SECOND ONE SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA. A STRONG HIGH LIES BETWEEN
THESE LOWS IN THE EASTERN BERING SEA AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA. THE SECOND
UPPER LEVEL HIGH IS CENTERED IN THE YUKON WITH THE RIDGE PROTRUDING
INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE STATE. THIS IS PRODUCING WEAK FLOW ALOFT
OVER THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE AND A DISTINCT EASTERLY FLOW OVER
SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AND THE COPPER RIVER BASIN.
AT THE SURFACE THERE IS A LOW IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UPPER LOW NEAR
THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND THE HIGH PRESSURE IS OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA.
A THERMAL TROUGH IS OVER THE EASTERN INTERIOR AND THAT WILL PERSIST
FOR A FEW DAYS.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT.
AS FAR AS CLOSER DETAILS GO THE GFS SEEMS TO BE THE OUTLIER AS
COMPARED WITH THE ECMWF NAM AND UKMET. USING MORE OF A NAM/EC BLEND
FOR THE AFTERNOON FORECASTS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...ONCE AGAIN THE TIMING OF SHORT WAVES MOVING
FROM THE EAST OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AND THE COPPER RIVER BASIN IS
THE CHALLENGE OF THE DAY. ONE WAVE IS WEAKENING OVER COOK INLET AND
THE SUSITNA VALLEY TODAY AS THE NEXT ONE MOVE ACROSS THE COPPER RIVER
BASIN. THIS SECOND WAVE WILL LIKELY BRING SOME RAIN FROM THE
MATANUSKA VALLEY NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER WAVE WILL MAKE IT INTO
THE EASTERN COPPER RIVER BASIN MONDAY AFTERNOON. LOOKING AT THE IR
SATELLITE THE SERIES OF WAVES CAN BE SEEN ALONG A BOUNDARY STRETCHING
ALL THE WAY TO A LOW IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN.

THE ATMOSPHERE IS ALSO SUFFICIENTLY UNSTABLE EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE
FOR SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN THIS AREA AS
WELL. THERE MOST LIKELY WILL NOT BE ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TODAY.
THERE IS A CHANCE TOMORROW ALONG THE ALASKA RANGE AND OVER THE
TALKEETNA MOUNTAINS.

SOUTHWEST MAINLAND ALASKA WILL ONCE AGAIN SEE A GOOD AMOUNT OF
SUNSHINE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AND THEN AREAS OF FOG AND
LOW STRATUS WILL MOVE IN AGAIN AFTER SUNSET.

FURTHER WEST...A LOW SOUTHWEST OF ADAK IS BRINGING RAIN TO THE
ALEUTIAN ISLANDS. TH FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IS MOVING SLOWLY
EASTWARD AND WILL GO ACROSS DUTCH HARBOR TONIGHT AND THEN MOVE OVER
THE ALASKA PENINSULA TOMORROW.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE PATTERN SETTING UP FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE
WEEK WILL BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES UNDER AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IN THE
INTERIOR. THIS RIDGE WILL ALSO ALLOW WARMER TEMPERATURES AND SUNNY
PERIODS IN SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA AS WELL. THE UPPER LOW
WILL BE OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA BRINGING EASTERLY FLOW ALOFT OVER
SOUTHERN ALASKA. THIS WILL KEEP01 THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS IN
EASTERLY WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE AREA.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 170 172.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
