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 Sep 5, 12:45 PM AKDT, 15 hours 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 5, 12:45 PM AKDT, 15 hours 15 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
1245 PM AKDT WED SEP 5 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE MAJOR STORM WHICH IMPACTED ALASKA
THE PAST 36 HOURS OR SO HAS WEAKENED TO A 986 MB LOW OVER NORTON
SOUND THIS MORNING. IT CONTINUES TO TRACK SLOWLY NORTHWARD AND
WEAKEN. ALTHOUGH WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED FROM THEIR PEAKS THERE ARE
STILL STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN MANY LOCATIONS DUE TO THE STILL TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT AS WELL AS STRONG PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THE LOW.
SHORT-WAVES ROTATING UP THE EAST SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
ARE MAKING THERE WAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND PRODUCING SHOWERS.
AS PER AREA SOUNDING THE AIRMASS BEHIND THIS SYSTEM IS MARGINALLY
UNSTABLE...SO SOME OF THESE SHOWERS WILL BE HEAVY.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...THERE ARE MINOR DIFFERENCES WITH HANDLING OF
UPPER TROUGH WHICH DROPS OUT OF THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC AS WELL AS WITH
LOW WHICH GETS PICKED UP BY THIS TROUGH AND MOVES INTO THE EASTERN
GULF. HOWEVER...CONSIDERING THESE SYSTEMS ARE COMING FROM DATA VOID
REGIONS ALL SOLUTIONS SHOW THE SAME GENERAL IDEA. WILL GENERALLY
USE AN AVERAGE POSITION AND STRENGTH FOR THESE FEATURES.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...AS LOW CONTINUES TO EXIT TO THE NORTH TONIGHT
AND THURSDAY PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL GRADUALLY SLACKEN AND ALLOW
WINDS TO LIGHTEN UP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND OF ALASKA.
SHORT-WAVES OVER THE AREA WILL ALSO EXIT TO THE NORTH. HOWEVER...
THERE WON'T BE MUCH OF A BREAK AS AN UPPER LOW/SHORT-WAVE OVER THE
RUSSIAN ARCTIC DROPS DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF THE TROUGH THURSDAY AND
QUICKLY DIGS SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE GULF ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL
MAINTAIN GENERALLY COOL AND WET CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND OF ALASKA. MEANWHILE...ANOTHER TROUGH FURTHER SOUTH WILL
MOVE INTO THE FAR WESTERN BERING AT THE END OF THE WEEK FLATTENING
OUT THE NORTH PACIFIC RIDGE WHICH IS CURRENTLY NOSING UP THAT WAY
AND BRINGING ANOTHER STORM TO THE ALEUTIANS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE SYSTEM THAT MOVES INTO THE GULF AT THE
END OF THE WEEK WILL EXIT TO THE EAST OVER THE WEEKEND ALLOWING
THE EASTERN BERING AND SOUTHERN MAINLAND TO DRY OUT. THE NEXT
SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE BERING WILL TAKE A MORE ZONAL TRACK ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA WHICH MEANS MAINLAND ALASKA WILL BE ON THE
PERIPHERY AS IT MOVES INTO THE GULF.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE WARNING...132 140 160 175 180.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
