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 2, 5:45 AM AKST, 9 hours 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 2, 5:45 AM AKST, 9 hours 42 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 545 AM AKST MON NOV 2 2015 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... THE VERY LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER THE GULF OF ANADYR AND COVERING THE BERING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WESTERN HALF OF MAINLAND ALASKA CONTINUES TO BE THE MAJOR WEATHER FEATURE INFLUENCING THE FORECAST AREA. A SERIES OF WAVES RIPPLE THROUGH THE BROAD TROUGH TO THE SOUTH OF THE UPPER LOW CENTER. THE SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY IN THE NORTHERN BERING WILL CONTINUE NORTHEAST OVER SAINT LAWRENCE ISLAND WITH ANOTHER SMALLER WAVE FOLLOWING FROM THE WESTERN BERING AND THIRD ROTATING OFF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. FURTHER TO THE SOUTH THE NEXT DEVELOPING STRONG LOW IS STARTING TO SPIN UP SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THIS FEATURE HAS GOOD SUPPORT FROM A JET STREAK MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST SO SHOULD CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY DEEPEN AND THEN BE QUICKLY CARRIED TO THE EAST NORTHEAST BY THE BROADER JET STREAM. IN SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA A WEAK FRONTAL FEATURE WHICH CROSSED THE ALASKA RANGE EARLIER...A MESO LOW TRAVELING UP COOK INLET AND A SECOND SMALL UPPER TROUGH CURRENTLY PUSHING ACROSS THE ALASKA RANGE ARE ALL COMBINING TO BRING SNOW TO THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA...ANCHORAGE BOWL...MATANUSKA AND SUSITNA VALLEYS AND SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS EARLY THIS MORNING. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... MODELS ARE IN REASONABLE SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT WITH THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES FOCUSED ON THE TRACK OF THE DEVELOPING LOW THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT AS IT SPINS UP SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND SLIDES ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA. WHILE THE DISPERSION OF MODEL TRACKS HAS TIGHTENED UP IN THE LAST FEW RUNS THERE IS STILL SOME QUESTION WHICH SIDE OF THE PENINSULA THE LOW WILL HUG OR WHETHER IT WILL TRY TO TRACK UP THE CREST. PREFERENCE WAS GIVEN TO THE NAM AND EC WHICH KEEP THE LOW JUST ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PENINSULA. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)... LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF THIS MORNING ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AS THE ASSOCIATED FRONT PROGRESSES EASTWARD AND DISSIPATES. WHILE SNOWFALL INTENSITY WILL DECREASE DURING THE MORNING HOURS...ROADS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SLICK FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE DUE TO SNOWFALL OVER NIGHT. THE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN CONTINUES OVER THE SHORT TERM...AND A WELL ORGANIZED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE GULF OF ALASKA BY TUESDAY EVENING. GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR IN GAPS ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL BEGINNING LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING AS THE LOW PROGRESSES ACROSS THE GULF. SLIGHTLY WARMER AIR WILL ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR A RAIN AND SNOW MIX...ESPECIALLY IN COASTAL AREAS. A FEW QUICK INCHES OF WET SNOW ARE ALSO NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR INLAND AREAS OF SOUTHCENTRAL ON TUESDAY. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)... THE PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND ARE FOCUSED ON PRECIPITATION TYPE AND AMOUNTS FOR PORTIONS OF BRISTOL BAY AS A DEEP NORTH PACIFIC LOW PASSES JUST SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND INTO THE WESTERN GULF LATE TONIGHT. THIS LOW TRACK WOULD PROMOTE AN AREA OF FAVORABLE DYNAMIC SUPPORT FOR HEAVY PRECIPITATION OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF BRISTOL BAY...BUT IT REMAINS UNCLEAR IF TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO ALLOW A CHANGEOVER TO ALL SNOW. CURRENTLY EXPECTING A RAIN/SNOW MIX...WITH A FEW INCHES OF WET SNOW ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE IN A RELATIVELY NARROW CORRIDOR NORTH AND EAST OF KING SALMON. PRECIPITATION WILL THEN QUICKLY TAPER OFF TO SHOWERS AS THE LOW RAPIDLY MOVES OFF TO THE EAST ON TUESDAY. THESE SHOWERS WILL PERSIST OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT MOIST AND UNSTABLE SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE BERING. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)... THE MAIN FOCUS IN THE SHORT TERM WILL BE ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND OVER THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN BERING AS THE STRONG LOW PASSES JUST TO THE SOUTH LATER TODAY...BRINGING RAIN AND GUSTY SOUTH WINDS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST AS THE LOW MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. OTHERWISE...RAIN SHOWERS AND GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE BERING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER LOW MOVING TOWARDS THE BERING STRAIT SWINGS A FRONT ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL BERING. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A MUCH STRONGER LOW APPROACHING THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY BRINGING POTENTIAL STORM FORCE WINDS TO PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN BERING DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7...WED THROUGH SUN)... THE MID-TERM/EXTENDED PERIOD IS LARGELY DOMINATED BY A DEEP AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT DEVELOPS OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC AND MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BERING SEA WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA BY FRIDAY MORNING. MODELS HAVE REALLY LOCKED ONTO THIS SOLUTION OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS AND THE UPDATED FORECAST REFLECTS THE CONFIDENCE WITH STORM FORCE WINDS ACROSS THE PACIFIC SIDE OF THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET ON THE WEST SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BRING ENOUGH ENERGY TO HELP CREATE HURRICANE FORCE WINDS SOUTH OF OUR AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. HOWEVER...HIGH SEAS NEARING 30 FT WILL BE POSSIBLE IN OUR AREA ALONG THE PACIFIC SIDE OF THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS. SEAS OF 20 TO 25 FT COULD MAKE IT INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING SEA AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE ONE ASPECT OF THIS SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE MONITORED IS THE COLD AIR ADVECTION THAT HAPPENS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SURFACE LOW. COLDER AIR FILTERING IN FROM SIBERIA WILL STEEPEN THE LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WHICH WILL HELP BRING DOWN GUSTS OF 60 TO 65 MPH THROUGH THE GAPS OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS...EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND POSSIBLY PORTIONS OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. A STOUT WARM FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND ON LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY WHICH SHOULD KEEP THE MAJORITY OF PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS AS RAIN. THE ONLY PLACE WHERE SNOW LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBILITY WOULD BE THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY WHERE COLD AIR TENDS TO BE ENTRENCHED AND TAKE SOME TIME TO BE DISPLACED. PRECIPITATION TYPE BECOMES A BIT OF A CHALLENGE ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA LATE THURSDAY THROUGH A GOOD PART OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE FRONT SHOULD MODIFY A BIT AS IT CROSSES SOUTHWEST ALASKA BUT SHOULD STILL RAISE 850 MB TEMPS TO 0 TO -2 DEGREES CELSIUS WHICH WOULD FAVOR MORE RAIN THAN SNOW. COLD AIR SHOULD QUICKLY REPLACE THE WARMER AIR WHICH WOULD LIKELY LEAD TO A TRANSITION OF A RAIN/SNOW MIX OR ALL SNOW. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL BECOME MUCH CLEARER ONCE THE SYSTEM IS SAMPLED BY THE ALASKA UPPER AIR NETWORK...OBSERVATIONS AND SATELLITE DATA. NEEDLESS TO SAY AN ACTIVE PERIOD OF WEATHER LOOKS TO UNFOLD AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS PERIOD OF ACTIVE WEATHER SHOULD CONTINUE WELL PAST THE LONG TERM FORECAST. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
