What forecasters said that day
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 Jan 16, 4:00 PM AKST, 12 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 16, 4:00 PM AKST, 12 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 400 PM AKST WED JAN 16 2013 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE STRONG LOW SOUTHWEST OF ATTU IS VERY SLOWLY BUT STEADILY WEAKENING AND HAS HALTED MOST OF ITS NORTHEASTWARD PROGRESS AS IT PUSHES INTO AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE NORTHEAST BERING SEA. THE LOW SHOULD CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND MOVE ON A WESTERLY COURSE BACK TOWARD THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA THROUGH FRIDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AS WELL AS AN ELONGATED FRONTAL BAND STRETCHING FROM THE WESTERN GULF THOUGH SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA IS PROVIDING PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND LIFT OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA TODAY. .MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE DOING WELL IN THE SHORT TERM AND HOLD ON TO A REASONABLE OVERALL SOLUTION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THERE ARE SOME SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES ON HOW TO HANDLE A LOW THAT WILL DEVELOP ALONG A FRONTAL BAND SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS THURSDAY AND MORE TO THE NORTH. THE NAM AND ECMWF MODELS BOTH DEVELOP MULTIPLE LOWS ALONG THIS FRONT...ALTHOUGH IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. THE GFS CONSOLIDATES THE ENERGY INTO ONE STRONGER LOW IN A CENTRAL LOCATION ALONG THE FRONT...BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE THE LEAST LIKELY SOLUTION. THE ALASKA PENINSULA THROUGH THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND NORTHWARD TO THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS WILL BE THE AREAS MOST AFFECTED BY THE DIFFERING SOLUTIONS. .SHORT TERM FORECAST...WHILE THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THROUGH THE COPPER RIVER BASIN IS GETTING GOOD SNOW AMOUNTS AS EXPECTED THE AREAS IN THE COOK INLET REGION THROUGH SUSITNA VALLEY ARE GETTING A LITTLE MORE THAN ANTICIPATED FROM YESTERDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE WEAK COLD ADVECTION FROM THE WEST HAS EXPANDED THE AREA OF OPTIMAL LIFT IN THE REGION TO INCLUDE THE KENAI PENINSULA AND NORTHWARD. THIS SHOULD TAPER OFF FROM THE INTO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH OVERNIGHT. A QUESTION FOR THE ANCHORAGE THROUGH MAT-SU AREA IS HOW LONG THIS SNOW WILL LINGER. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE DYNAMICS WILL KEEP FAVORABLE LIFT OVER ANCHORAGE THROUGH THE MAT-SU VALLEY FOR MOST OF THE EVENING AND LIGHT SNOW COULD LINGER IN THE AREA FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT. THE BULK OF THE SNOW SHOULD OCCUR BY EARLY EVENING BUT THERE IS A CHANCE OF IT LINGERING FOR A WHILE LONGER IN THIS PATTERN. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF COLD AIR HAS MOVED INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA TODAY UNDER THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND WEAK SURFACE RIDGE. THE RIDGE IS ALLOWING FOR PARTIAL CLEARING IN SOUTHWEST ALASKA. THIS COLD AIR WILL SLOWLY FILTER INTO SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. THE FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE LARGE LOW SOUTHWEST OF ATTU IS SLOWLY WEAKENING BUT WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE STRONG WINDS IN THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS INTO THURSDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST...THE COMPLEX UPPER LOW OVER THE BERING SEA/ALEUTIAN CHAIN COUPLED WITH A RIDGE IN THE GULF SHOULD DIRECT STORMS TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE. THE RESULTING SOUTHERLY FLOW FROM THE PACIFIC SHOULD LEAD TO SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND AN OVERALL ACTIVE PATTERN INTO NEXT WEEK. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE 172 175 185. STORM 176. HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY 185. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. JAN 13
