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 Nov 25, 4:00 PM AKST, 12 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 25, 4:00 PM AKST, 12 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 400 PM AKST MON NOV 25 2013 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A CUT OFF UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE CENTRAL BERING SEA IS WEAKENING INTO A TROUGH WHICH WILL MOVE OVER MAINLAND ALASKA TUESDAY NIGHT. THE JET STREAM IS BRINGING SOUTH WARM AIR OUT OF THE PACIFIC TO THE NORTH GULF COAST AND POINTS FARTHER EAST. AT THE SURFACE A LOW IN THE NORTHERN GULF IS WEAKENING AS IT HEADS TOWARD PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND TONIGHT. THE LOW IN THE CENTRAL BERING SEA IS ALSO WEAKENING AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FRONT HE NORTHWEST. .MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT BUT DO DIFFER ON SOME ELEMENTS THAT WILL IMPACT THE FORECAST IN SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA. THERE ARE TWO ISSUES OF NOTE. THE FIRST IS HOW FAR WEST THE LOW IN THE GULF TRAVELS AS IT ENTERS PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THIS WILL IMPACT HOW FAR THE ABOVE FREEZING AIR IS ABLE TO MOVE INLAND. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL MAINLY BE CONFINED TO THE COAST BUT IF IT MOVES TOO FAR WEST IT COULD ALLOW SOME WARM AIR ALOFT TO MAKE IT INTO SOUTH CENTRAL AND PRODUCE SOME AREAS OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN. THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO BUT IT IS A POSSIBILITY WORTH MENTIONING. ON THURSDAY THERE WILL BE ANOTHER LOW IN THE VICINITY OF PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THE STRENGTH AND MOVEMENT OF THIS LOW WILL DICTATE WHETHER THE COOK INLET THROUGH MAT-SU REGIONS GET SOME SNOWFALL OR RAPIDLY BEGIN TO CLEAR OUT. FARTHER WEST THE MODEL AGREEMENT IS GOOD AND THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS BETWEEN MODEL SOLUTIONS. .SHORT TERM FORECAST...THE LOW IN THE GULF WILL BRING SOME RAIN TO THE NORTH GULF COAST...TRANSITIONING TO SNOW FARTHER WEST. VALDEZ WILL BE THE EXCEPTION WHERE THE PRECIPITATION TYPE SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY SNOW. WEST OF THE KENAI AND CHUGACH MOUNTAINS THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAINS SNOW...THOUGH SOME AREAS SUCH AS TURNAGAIN ARM MAY WARM UP ENOUGH TUESDAY TO CHANCE OVER TO RAIN. AS MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS SECTION...THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT ENOUGH WARM AIR ALOFT COULD DROP SOME LIGHT FREEZING RAIN INTO THE ANCHORAGE OR MAT-SU AREAS. .LONG TERM FORECAST...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO PAINT THE SAME GENERAL PICTURE IN THE LONG TERM PATTERN HEADING INTO THIS WEEKEND. THE BERING SEA RIDGE WILL SLIDE OVER THE MAINLAND BY SATURDAY...SETTING UP A BLOCKING PATTERN. CONFIDENCE IS GAINING THAT BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION WILL ONCE AGAIN TAKE OVER A MAJORITY OF THE STATE ON SATURDAY...AND LIKELY CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE 119. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. NOV 13
