NWS Anchorage, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Nov 18, 4:43 PM AKST, 10 hours 20 minutes earlier.

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
443 PM AKST TUE NOV 18 2014

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

WATER VAPOR AND IR SATELLITE IMAGERY AS WELL AS SURFACE OBSERVATIONS
CONTINUE TO SHOW A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING NORTH AND
WEST ACROSS KODIAK ISLAND AND SHELIKOF STRAIT INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA.
AHEAD OF THIS LOW...STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE SUPPORTIVE OF
STRONG RISING MOTIONS IN THE ATMOSPHERE IS JUXTAPOSED WITH PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES THAT ARE OVER 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL. ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THIS LOW...A SIGNIFICANT PUSH OF VERY DRY AIR CONTINUES TO
IMPINGE INTO THE SOUTH AND EAST SIDE OF THE CYCLONE. THE RESULT IS
A VERY IMPRESSIVE WIND FIELD ESPECIALLY OVER MARINE AREAS...AND AN
IMPRESSIVE PRECIPITATION FIELD ON RADAR IMAGERY OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA.

THE ANCHOR LOW (THAT THIS SYSTEM IS MOVING NORTH AND WEST AROUND)
IS CENTERED OVER THE FAR SOUTHERN BERING SEA ABOUT 200 MILES WEST
OF DUTCH HARBOR. AT THE SAME TIME...STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
CONTINUES ALONG THE WEST COAST OF THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT
EXTENDING INTO INTERIOR ALASKA.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THE
KODIAK/SHELIKOF LOW WILL MOVE RAPIDLY NORTHWEST INLAND OVER SOUTHWEST
ALASKA AND DISSIPATE LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY WEDNESDAY. THE ANCHOR
LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN BERING WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN IN PLACE...BUT
ANOTHER RAPIDLY STRENGTHENING LOW WILL DEVELOP UNDER A STRONG JET
STREAK OVER THE NORTHERN PACIFIC AND MOVE A FEW HUNDRED MILES
SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR WEDNESDAY AND THEN APPROACH BETWEEN SAND
POINT AND CHIRIKOF ISLAND THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH PRESSURE IN THE
950S. THE EUROPEAN (EC) MODEL IS A BIT OF AN EASTERLY OUTLIER
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH THIS FEATURE...BUT GIVEN ITS
GOOD HISTORY WITH STORMS ALONG THIS TRACK IT IS STILL CONSIDERED
WITH THE FORECAST PACKAGE THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

A STRONG WEATHER FRONT OVER THE NORTHERN GULF IS BEING SLOWED BY
THE PRESENCE OF THE COASTAL MOUNTAIN RANGES AROUND SOUTHERN
ALASKA...BUT WILL EVENTUALLY PUSH INLAND BY MID EVENING. THE NEXT
STAGE OF THIS STORM WILL BE THE APPROACH OF AN IMPRESSIVE AREA OF
PRESSURE RISES ACROSS THE BARREN ISLANDS THIS EVENING THAT THEN
SLAMS INTO THE WEST SIDE OF LOWER COOK INLET AROUND MIDNIGHT. AS
THIS HAPPENS...PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL ABRUPTLY REVERSE AROUND
COOK INLET AND SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL IMPACT THE
MAJORITY OF COASTAL AS WELL AS INLAND LOCATIONS. THIS INCLUDES
ANCHORAGE...WHERE ANY REMAINING WIND BLOWING THROUGH TURNAGAIN ARM
WILL BEGIN TO BEND NORTHWARD AND IMPACT THE CITY THIS EVENING.
WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE DAMAGING IN NATURE...BUT WILL BE
NOTABLY GUSTY...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTH AND WEST ANCHORAGE.
TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO SPIKE QUICKLY AS THE SOUTHEAST WINDS MOVE
IN...WITH MANY TEMPERATURES AROUND THE AREA LIKELY REMAINING AT
OR ABOVE 40 DEGREES OVERNIGHT.

THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION...FALLING IN THE FORM OF RAIN ALONG
THE COAST AND UP TO SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET ELEVATION...HAS BEGUN
TO TAPER OFF AS THE UPPER LEVEL FRONT PUSHES INLAND. A DEEP POOL
OF COLD AIR ALOFT WILL MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTH BEHIND THIS
FEATURE...SETTING THE STAGE FOR IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY AND
RELATIVELY VIGOROUS SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
TOMORROW...BUT FOCUSED MOSTLY ALONG THE COASTLINES. FAIRLY WARM
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE YET ANOTHER
LOW BEGINS TO DEVELOP SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA...SHIFTING
WINDS BACK AROUND TO NORTHERLY AND ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO SLOWLY
SAG BACK TO NEAR FREEZING AT INLAND LOCATIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

DEEP MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH A DISSIPATING LOW OVER THE ALASKA
PENINSULA IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND.
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE WELL ABOVE FREEZING IN BRISTOL BAY. OVER
THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND PARTS OF THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA GUSTY
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS HAVE HELPED TO MAINTAIN SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES
ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. WITH MUCH WARMER AIR STILL IN PLACE ALOFT
PRECIP IS FALLING AS RAIN AND THEN FREEZING UPON CONTACT WITH THE
GROUND. A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE
THIS EVENING. THE FREEZING RAIN THREAT FOR THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA
WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS THE COLDER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW SHIFTS
TO THE SOUTHEAST...USHERING IN WARMER AIR AT THE SURFACE.
MEANWHILE...PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER TO SCATTERED RAIN AND
SHOWERS OVER THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AS COLDER AIR ALOFT MOVES IN.

CONDITIONS OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WILL START TO IMPROVE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW...WITH SOME AREAS EVEN SEEING SOME
SLIGHT CLEARING. HOWEVER...WITH MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT ON
MULTIPLE WAVES TRAVERSING THE MAINLAND THROUGH THURSDAY...SHOWERY
CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST OVER THE BRISTOL BAY AREA AND KUSKOKWIM
DELTA. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO A RAPIDLY DEVELOPING LOW FROM THE
NORTH PACIFIC THAT IS FORECASTED TO TRACK SOUTH OF THE ALASKA
PENINSULA WHERE IT EVENTUALLY STALLS OUT. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER
PERIOD OF RAIN AND WINDS TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY NORTHWEST OF DUTCH HARBOR WILL
SLOWLY DRIFT TO THE WEST AND DISSIPATE OVER ADAK BY THURSDAY
MORNING...KEEPING RAIN AND RAIN SHOWERS SPREAD OVER MUCH OF THE
BERING AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS DURING THIS TIME FRAME. A RAPIDLY
DEVELOPING LOW FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC WILL TRACK JUST SOUTH OF THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS LATE TOMORROW NIGHT. CONFIDENCE IN THE TRACK AND
STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM HAS INCREASED TODAY...AS MODELS HAVE
STARTED TO AGREE UPON A MORE COMMON SOLUTION. HOWEVER...THERE IS
STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS SOLUTION AS IT PUSHES INTO THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS. AS THE LOW TRACKS NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT
TOMORROW...GUSTY WINDS AND RAIN ARE EXPECTED TO SET BACK UP OVER
THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA. THE LOW WILL THEN
STALL OUT OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA OVERNIGHT THURSDAY...KEEPING
RAINY AND WINDY CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...

THE DEEP LOW WHICH STALLS NEAR THE ALASKA PENINSULA LATER THIS
WEEK WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN BEFORE MOVING OFF INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA
SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS ON THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN GULF...AS
WELL AS THROUGH SHELIKOF STRAIT. THE PATTERN LOOKS TO BECOME A
BIT MORE BENIGN BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND...WITH TEMPERATURES
REMAINING ABOVE NORMAL.
