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 Oct 14, 2:00 PM AKDT, 2 hours earlier.

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

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT SUN OCT 14 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...THE MODELS ARE IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT AND
REASONABLE THROUGH MUCH OF THE SHORT TERM CONSIDERING THE COMPLEXITY
OF THE PATTERN IN THE GULF. DIFFERENCES THAT DO EXIST IN THE GULF ARE
RELATIVELY MINOR. HOWEVER...THE NAM BY THE END OF THE SHORT TERM (WED
AFTERNOON) PUSHES A LOWER 990'S LOW CENTER NORTH INTO THE NE GULF.
THIS SOLUTION DIFFERS FROM PREVIOUS RUNS AND THE ECMWF/GFS 12Z RUNS.
SO FOR NOW WILL GO WITH THE MORE CONSISTENT GFS/ECMWF AT THIS TIME
FRAME.

UPPER LEVELS(500MB)...
A LOW CENTER APPROACHING THE SE GULF MOVES INLAND OVER SOUTHEAST
ALASKA TONIGHT. A SECONDARY CENTER CURRENTLY MOVING SOUTH THE THE AK
PEN INTENSIFIES AS IT MOVES TO THE WESTERN GULF OF ALASKA MON MORNING
THEN WEAKENS AS IT DRIFTS TO THE EASTERN GULF MON NIGHT/TUE MORNING.
YET ANOTHER CENTER EMBEDDED IN THE BROAD LONG WAVE MOVES TO NEAR
KODIAK ISLAND TUE. A BROAD RIDGE CONTINUES OVER THE CENTRAL AND
WESTERN BERING SEA THROUGH TUE.

.SURFACE...A 976 MB LOW OVER THE EAST GULF WEAKENS AND MOVES INLAND
OVER SE ALASKA. THE LOW CENTER NEAR KODIAK WEAKENS AS A CENTER
DEVELOPS ALONG THE FRONTAL TROUGH OVER THE NW GULF THIS AFTERNOON.
THIS CENTER THEN BECOMES STATIONARY TONIGHT AND WEAKENS THROUGH MON.
A SECONDARY LOW...ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVELOPING UPPER WAVE MOVES TO
THE EASTERN GULF TUE...WITH YET ANOTHER CENTER DEVELOPS OVER THE
WESTERN GULF TUE EVENING. OUT WEST...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE ITS
HOLD OVER THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN BERING SEA. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
PINCH BETWEEN THIS HIGH AND THE GULF LOW COMPLEX WILL CONTINUE BRISK
WINDS OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA...AK PEN...AND SW ALASKA THROUGH
TUE.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL...MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH A FRONTAL TROUGH AND
DEVELOPING WAVE SPREAD MOISTURE TO THE NORTH GULF COAST THIS
AFTERNOON AND INTO INLAND SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT. THE BRUNT OF THE
PRECIPITATION SHOULD FALL AS RAIN ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST...INLAND
SOUTHCENTRAL WILL BE A MIXTURE OF SNOW AND RAIN. COLD AIR SPREADS
EAST ACROSS THE KENAI PEN/COOK INLET REGIONS ON MON AND TUE...SO ANY
LINGERING OR MOISTURE SPREADING INTO THE AREA SHOULD FALL AS SNOW.
MODELS APPEAR A LITTLE LIGHT ON QPF OVER COOK INLET/ANCHORAGE BOWL
MON NIGHT AS COLD ADVECTION SPREADS ACROSS THE REGION. SHOULD
PROBABLY SEE A LEAST SNOW SHOWERS AS COLD AIR INTERACTS WITH WARMER
INLET WATERS. THE NORTH GULF COAST THROUGH MON WILL BE WARM ENOUGH
FOR RAIN...BECOMING MORE MIXED TUE NIGHT.

SOUTHWEST...
BRISK NORTH WINDS CONTINUE OVER THE SW MAINLAND IN THE SQUEEZED
PRESSURE GRADIENT...WITH MAINLY ONLY SOME INSTABILITY SHOWERS IN
CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT. THE LION'S SHARE OF STEADY PRECIPITATION IS OVER
BRISTOL BAY...AND FALLING AS SNOW DUE TO A WELL ESTABLISHED COOL
AIRMASS. PRECIPITATION HERE WILL TAPER OF THIS EVENING AS OVERRUNNING
ENDS. BRISK NORTHWEST FLOW IN IT'S WAKE WILL KEEP WESTERN FACING
SLOPES OF THE ALASKA AND ALEUTIAN RANGES UNDER THE GUN FOR PERSISTENT
SNOW SHOWERS HOWEVER. CONDITIONS REMAIN SEASONABLY COOL INTO MIDWEEK.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...
STRONGEST WINDS CONTINUE OVER THE EASTERN CHAIN BACK THROUGH THE
AKPEN. CONDITIONS WILL BE SLOW TO WEAKEN DUE TO THE SLOW MOVING LOW
IN THE GULF AND STUBBORN HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST. MODERATELY HEAVY
SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED ALONG THE AKPEN...ENHANCED AT TIMES BY
SHORTWAVES DROPPING SOUTH BEHIND THE UPPER-LOW TO THE EAST.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE UPPER-LOW IN THE GULF MOVES TO THE EASTERN GULF LATE THIS
WEEK...WITH UPPER-RIDGING FROM THE BERING SEA EXPANDING EAST TO THE
SOUTHERN MAINLAND. THIS SHOULD HELP DRY CONDITIONS OUT ALBEIT WITH
CONSIDERABLY COOLER TEMPERATURES. GUSTY NORTH TO WEST OUTFLOW WINDS
TO ALSO BE A CONSIDERATION OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AS THE LOW EXITS
EAST. MODELS SHOW A LOW OVER THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA LATE WEEK
SWINGING A FRONT TO THE WESTERN CHAIN AND BERING.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE...130 132 138 140 150 155 160 165 170 171 179 180 352
                414.
