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 Jul 15, 4:00 PM AKDT, 12 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 4:00 PM AKDT, 12 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT SUN JUL 15 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER NUNIVAK
ISLAND AND A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL BERING
SEA IS STALLING ITS FORWARD PROGRESS AS IT RUNS INTO AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF ALASKA. THIS PATTERN IS ALSO
INCREASING THE 250 MB JET STREAM WINDS OVER THE WESTERN GULF TO
AROUND 125 KT THIS AFTERNOON.
A SURFACE LOW THAT WAS NEAR BRISTOL BAY THIS MORNING IS WEAKENING AS
IT MOVES INLAND AND WILL BECOME A WEAK TROUGH ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF
OF ALASKA COAST BY THIS EVENING. A STRONG SURFACE HIGH IS CENTERED
WELL SOUTH OF THE GULF BUT IS PUSHING A RIDGE OVER THE ALASKA
PENINSULA AND INTO THE ALEUTIANS TODAY. A TROUGH SOUTH OF THE ALASKA
PENINSULA NEAR THE 45N PARALLEL WILL BE THE FOCUS OF A DEVELOPING LOW
THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE BRISTOL BAY REGION BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS IN OVERALL GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE NEXT TWO
DAYS. THERE IS SOME DIFFERENCE IN HOW A NORTH PACIFIC LOW WILL MOVE
INTO THE SOUTHERN BRISTOL BAY REGION TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE LOW
ELONGATING AND A POSSIBLE SECOND CENTER TO THE NORTH DEVELOPING INTO
THE MAIN CENTER. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH OF A DIFFERENCE IN MODELS BY
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY TO CAUSE SOME CONCERN AS THERE IS NEARLY
A 200 MILE DIFFERENCE IN LOCATION OF THE LOW BETWEEN MODELS AT THAT
TIME. THE MODELS DO APPEAR TO IMPROVE AFTER THAT WITH THE MAIN
DIFFERENCE BEING THE GFS MODEL MOVING THE LOW EASTWARD FASTER ON
THURSDAY THAN THE ECMWF.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...RAIN WILL TAPER OFF FROM THE SOUTHWEST IN
SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA THIS EVENING AND SET THE STAGE FOR A FEW
LINGERING SHOWERS THROUGH MONDAY EVENING. BY TUESDAY THERE SHOULD BE
SOME CLEARING AREAS AROUND SOUTH CENTRAL.
IN THE SOUTHWEST THE COLD CORE UPPER LEVEL LOW COMBINED WITH
PERSISTENT SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP CONDITIONS RIPE FOR SHOWERS
OVER MOST OF THE AREA AND AREAS OF STRATUS THROUGH THE
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE BERING SEA COAST. TUESDAY SHOULD SEE SOME
PARTIAL CLEARING AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WEAKENS AND A SURFACE HIGH IN
THE NORTHERN BERING SEA INFLUENCES THE AREA.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE LONG TERM FORECAST IS BEGINNING TO GET A
LITTLE MORE TRICKY AS THE MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE BECOMING A BIT MORE
SKEWED FOR THE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT PERIOD. THE
NORTHEASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE LOW TOWARD BRISTOL BAY WILL BE AN
IMPORTANT FACTOR AS FAR AS THE PRECIPITATION AMOUNT THAT REACHES
SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND ALSO SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA.

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