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 Aug 21, 2:00 PM AKDT, 14 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 21, 2:00 PM AKDT, 14 hours before

SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT TUE AUG 21 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT SYNOPTICALLY THROUGH FRI AND EVEN SAT.
ALL MODELS BRING THE FIRST BERING LOW ONSHORE NEAR THE YUKON DELTA
LATE WED WHILE THE UPPER TROUGH DIGS SOUTHEAST FORMING A CUTOFF LOW
OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA THU. THE GULF OF ALASKA LOW THEN
MOVES SLOWLY EAST-SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE GULF.  THE MODELS ARE
CONSISTENT IN BRINGING A STRONG LOW TO THE BERING STRAIT AND FRONT
ONSHORE ALONG THE WEST COAST BY LATE FRI.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

THERE ARE TWO WEATHER SYSTEMS AFFECTING SOUTHERN ALASKA. THE FIRST IS
AN UPPER LOW OVER THE CENTRAL GULF AND TROUGH EXTENDING OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL.  THE LOW AND TROUGH ARE SLOWLY MOVING EASTWARD AND WILL BE
OVER THE PANHANDLE BY WED AFTERNOON. SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST WITH THE TROUGH.

THE SECOND SYSTEM IS A MODERATELY STRONG LOW MOVING ACROSS THE
CENTRAL BERING SEA REACHING THE YUKON DELTA BY WED AFTERNOON AND THE
NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA BY THU AFTERNOON.  RAIN FROM THIS LOW IS
ALREADY AFFECTING THE SOUTHWEST COAST AND WILL SPREAD EAST OVER THE
REST OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND THE ALASKA
PENINSULA TONIGHT AND THEN SOUTH CENTRAL WED NIGHT.

THE NEXT LOW IS FORECAST TO BE STRONGER AND TO TRACK FARTHER NORTH
CENTERING NEAR THE BERING STRAIT ON FRI.  STRONG WINDS AND RAIN WILL
SPREAD OVER THE WEST COAST THU NIGHT AND FRI WITH THIS STORM.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTH CENTRAL...

CLOUDS AND SHOWERS WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST WITH THE UPPER TROUGH TUE
NIGHT.  A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL THU
NIGHT AND EARLY WED.  AREAS OF FOG ARE LIKELY DUE TO CLEARING SKIES
AND RADIATIONAL COOLING WED MORNING.

CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL RETURN TO THE COOK INLET REGION BY LATE
WEDNESDAY AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND BY THU MORNING.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...

RAIN WILL INCREASE ALONG THE SOUTHWEST COAST AND SPREAD OVER THE
REMAINDER OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA TONIGHT AND WED.  BREAKS IN THE RAIN
WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION THU UNDER A FAST MOVING RIDGE.  RAIN WILL
AGAIN MOVE OVER THE REGION AS THE NEXT FRONT MOVES IN FROM THE BERING
ON FRI.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...

RAIN WILL SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS THE CHAIN TONIGHT COVERING THE
ALASKA PENINSULA BY NOON WED. THE CHAIN AND ALASKA PENINSULA WILL
EXPERIENCE DRYING FROM THE WEST LATE WED AND THU UNDER A RIDGE
BUILDING IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT STORM. RAIN FROM THE FRI STORM MAY
STAY MAINLY NORTH OF THE CHAIN AND BRING RAIN TO THE PRIBILOFS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

ALASKA IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE PATH OF AN ACTIVE STORM TRACK
THROUGH MID WEEK.  EXPECT SIMILAR WEATHER TO THIS WEEK...RAINY DAYS
WITH BREAKS IN BETWEEN AS THE SYSTEMS MOVE THROUGH THE AREA.

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