What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at May 9, 4:59 AM AKDT, 10 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 9, 4:59 AM AKDT, 10 hours 1 minute before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
459 AM AKDT SAT MAY 9 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF IS BEGINNING TO WRAP UP
AS IT BECOMES A CLOSED LOW BY THIS AFTERNOON. ABUNDANT RAINFALL
CONTINUES FROM THIS SYSTEM ALONG THE GULF COAST...WITH AREAS OF LIGHT
RAIN FROM THE KENAI PENINSULA INTO THE SUSITNA VALLEY. THE
SOUTHERLY FETCH FROM THIS SYSTEM CAN BE SEEN DETERIORATING OVER
THE NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR RAINFALL TO
DIMINISH TODAY. TO THE WEST OF THIS LOW...WEAK RIDGING CONTINUES
TO BRING STRATUS FROM THE EASTERN BERING INTO THE ALASKA PENINSULA
AND KUSKOKWIM DELTA. THIS RIDGING IS QUICKLY DISSIPATING IN
ADVANCE OF THE ANOTHER ALEUTIAN LOW THAT IS PROGRESSING TOWARDS
THE CENTRAL BERING. THIS SYSTEM...WHILE DISSIPATING...IS BRINGING
GALE FORCE WINDS AND RAIN TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS...AND IS
EXPECTED TO SPREAD INTO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND CENTRAL BERING
TODAY.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODEL AGREEMENT HAS IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE YESTERDAY WITH
BOTH THE LOW POSITION OF THE GULF LOW AS IT BECOMES NEARLY
STATIONARY OVER THE WESTERN GULF THIS EVENING...AND THE INCOMING
ALEUTIAN LOW AS IT ELONGATES OVER THE BERING. THERE IS NOW MUCH
HIGHER CONFIDENCE WITH A FURTHER NORTH SOLUTION INTO THE BERING
TODAY...WITH ALL MODELS NOW BRING THE CIRCULATION NORTH OF THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS. THE EC REMAINS THE PREFERRED SOLUTION FOR THIS
SYSTEM DUE TO ITS GOOD RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY. THERE ALSO IS MUCH
BETTER AGREEMENT WITH A SECONDARY LOW THAT WILL DEVELOP JUST SOUTH
OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS ON SUNDAY THAT WILL APPROACH THE GULF
EARLY NEXT WEEK. AS A RESULT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER MUCH OF
THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK HAS IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE
YESTERDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE LOW MOVING INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA IS BRINGING ANOTHER SHOT OF
RAIN INTO SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA THIS MORNING. THE RAIN SHOULD
DIMINISH BY THE AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT WILL REMAIN
OVER THE REGION IS QUITE COOL AND WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF
AFTERNOON SHOWERS THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS LOW WILL ALSO BRING SOME
GUSTY WINDS THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN AND SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH
TO KEEP THE SEA BREEZE FROM DEVELOPING TODAY IN SEWARD AND HOMER.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE NEXT 48 HOURS WILL BE FAIRLY BENIGN OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA AS
THE LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND WEAKENS AND MOVES EASTWARD AND A
RIDGE WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS ON SATURDAY. PRECIPITATION TODAY WILL BE LIMITED
TO AREAS EAST OF THE KILBUCK/AHKLUN MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE ALASKA
AND ALEUTIAN RANGES. AS THE RIDGE MOVES THROUGH...PRECIPITATION
WILL END OVER MOST OF THE AREA EXCEPT FOR RIGHT ALONG THE ALEUTIAN
RANGE ON SUNDAY.

BEHIND THE RIDGE...A FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW MOVING NORTHWARD
THROUGH THE CENTRAL BERING SEA WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT NUNIVAK
ISLAND AND THE NORTHWESTERN KUSKOKWIM COAST EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
AT THE SAME TIME THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW MOVING SOUTH OF THE ALASKA
PENINSULA WILL BRING AN ADDITIONAL SURGE OF MOIST AIR NORTHWARD
INTO THE FRONT. THIS SHOULD PRODUCE FAIRLY CONTINUOUS RAIN FOR THE
NORTHWESTERN KUSKOKWIM COAST ON SUNDAY WITH SHOWERS ALONG THE
BRISTOL BAY COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE EASTERN BERING SEA AND ALASKA PENINSULA WILL BE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE EASTWARD MOVING RIDGE THIS MORNING AS THE LOW
OVER THE SOUTH-CENTRAL BERING SEA CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHWARD TO
NEAR GAMBELL BY SUNDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW
WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN AND PRIBILOF
ISLANDS TODAY...BRINGING AREAS OF STEADY RAIN. THE FRONT WILL
BECOME SEMI-STATIONARY AND ELONGATE NORTH-SOUTH FROM NUNIVAK
ISLAND TO UNIMAK ISLAND LATE TONIGHT. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE
NORTH PACIFIC LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH OF THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THIS
SYSTEM HAS A DEEP SOURCE OF MOISTURE FROM THE CENTRAL PACIFIC WITH
SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING INDICATING PW VALUES OVER 200
PERCENT OF NORMAL. THIS WILL PROVIDE AMPLE MOISTURE FOR CONTINUOUS
RAIN ALONG THE FRONT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE HEAVIEST TOTALS
FROM DUTCH HARBOR EASTWARD TO SAND POINT. AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE
FRONT TODAY THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS SHOULD SEE MAINLY RAIN SHOWERS.

WINDS ALONG THE FRONT WILL BE AT MINIMAL GALES THIS MORNING IN
THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BEFORE DECREASING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON TO
BELOW GALE FORCE. AS THE SECOND LOW APPROACHES THE REGION FROM
THE SOUTH...WINDS SHOULD INCREASE SUNDAY AFTERNOON SOUTH OF THE
ALEUTIAN CHAIN BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW GALE FORCE. AS A WEAK
RIDGE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE FRONT...THE FLOW WILL TURN WESTERLY AND
WILL GENERALLY STAY BELOW 25 KTS WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER
MOST OF THE BERING SEA AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN GULF WILL REMAIN
ALMOST STATIONARY THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE LOSING SUPPORT AND
DISSIPATING. THE SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
FEATURE WILL PRODUCE WIDESPREAD RAIN ALONG THE GULF COAST AND
SHOWERY PRECIPITATION FOR THE INLAND AREAS DUE TO DOWNSLOPING
THROUGH MONDAY. BY TUESDAY AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION FROM THE WEST. BY
THURSDAY THIS RIDGE WILL DEVELOP INTO AN UPPER LEVEL CLOSED HIGH
OVER THE INTERIOR. THERE WILL BE WARMER TEMPERATURES WITH THIS
RIDGE WITH DIURNAL SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
ACCOMPANIED BY A THERMAL TROUGH FORMING IN THE INTERIOR HEADING
INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE MODELS WERE IN DECENT
AGREEMENT WITH THESE FEATURES AND FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE
AVERAGE.

ON THE BERING SEA SIDE...THE STRONG ZONAL JET STREAM OVER THE WESTERN
TO CENTRAL ALEUTIANS CONTINUES THROUGH MONDAY BEFORE TRANSITIONING
TO A SOUTHERLY MERIDIONAL FLOW BY TUESDAY. THIS COINCIDES WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW MOVING INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. A GALE
FORCE LOW WILL BE REFLECTED AT THE SURFACE BY MONDAY BEFORE
BECOMING A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE BERING SEA. THIS
WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THE EARLY PART
OF NEXT WEEK BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO SHOWERY PRECIPITATION BY
MIDWEEK. DOWNSTREAM...AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE BUILDS THROUGH THE
EASTERN BERING/ALEUTIANS BY TUESDAY AND MOVES EASTWARD. THIS WILL
BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES THROUGH THURSDAY. THE MODELS CONTINUE
TO STRUGGLE WITH THE PLACEMENT/STRENGTH OF THIS NORTH PACIFIC LOW
APPROACHING THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS BY THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.
THE FORECAST CONFIDENCE REMAINS BELOW AVERAGE.
