The local office's own words before this gale warning 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 gale warning went out at Apr 23, 2:00 PM AKDT, 2 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 23, 2:00 PM AKDT, 2 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 200 PM AKDT TUE APR 23 2013 .MODEL DISCUSSION... NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT TODAY. THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE AS THE DEVELOPING PATTERN OF A "REX BLOCK" OVER THE BERING SEA IS A STABLE AND PREDICTABLE PATTERN. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER THAN NORMAL TODAY. .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... THERE IS A LARGE UPPER LOW SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND ANOTHER NORTH OF ALASKA. THERE IS AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN BERING SEA AND ANOTHER IN THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC NUDGING INTO THE PANHANDLE OF ALASKA. SOUTHERN ALASKA IS IN THE "COL" BETWEEN THESE FOUR SYSTEMS. THERE IS A SHORT-WAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY IN THE COL PROVIDING PRECIPITATION TO MOST OF SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AND THE FAR EASTERN PORTION OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... FOR SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE SOUTHERN ALASKA TROUGH WILL WORK ITS WAY INTO THE NORTHERN STREAM AND MOVE INTO THE PANHANDLE WED MORNING. AS THIS HAPPENS THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC HIGH WILL RETREAT SOUTHWARD ALLOWING NORTHWESTERLY FLOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ALSO BE ENCOURAGED BY THE BERING HIGH BECOMING A "REX BLOCK" (WHICH IS A HIGH NORTH OF A LOW...SPECIFICALLY THE LOW SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS) ON THURSDAY THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME ALMOST STRAIGHT NORTHERLY AND WILL REMAIN THAT WAY THROUGH FRIDAY. FOR THE BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...A REX BLOCK WILL DEVELOP OVER THE BERING SEA TONIGHT AS MENTIONED ABOVE. THIS IS A VERY STABLE AND PREDICTABLE PATTERN AND WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH FRIDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST... THE BLOCKING RIDGE WILL SLOWLY RETROGRADE (MOVE WEST) THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD...ENTERING EXTREME EASTERN RUSSIA BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP NORTHERLY/NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT OVER THE AREA. BY TUESDAY THE LOW WILL HAVE MOVED FAR ENOUGH WEST THAT AN UPPER LOW MAY CARVE OUT OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA AND THE NORTHERN GULF. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE WARNING 176. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. LUDWIG APR 13
