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.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 3, 4:57 AM AKST, 9 hours 52 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
457 AM AKST SAT JAN 3 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A LARGE STORM CONTINUES OVER THE WESTERN BERING WITH LOW PRESSURE
CENTERED VERY NEAR THE EAST COAST OF THE NORTHERN KAMCHATKA
PENINSULA. THE ASSOCIATED WEATHER FRONT ARCS FROM THE WEST-
CENTRAL BERING SOUTH-SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THE
EASTWARD PROGRESS OF THIS FRONT IS BEING SEVERELY LIMITED BY A
NARROW BUT STOUT HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ALOFT OVER THE EASTERN BERING
NORTH TO THE SEWARD PENINSULA...WITH AN ADJACENT CUT-OFF HIGH OVER
NORTHEAST ALASKA NEAR THE EASTERN BROOKS RANGE. WEAK FLOW ALOFT
CAN BE SEEN ON SATELLITE IMAGERY TO THE SOUTH OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL...WHERE A STATIONARY SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE IS
BRINGING WIDESPREAD MID-LEVEL CLOUD COVER TO MOST OF THE REGION.
THIS HAS HAD THE EFFECT OF KEEPING LOW TEMPERATURES QUITE A BIT
WARMER THAN MODELS AND MOS GUIDANCE HAD BEEN PREDICTING.

AT THE SURFACE...A 1055 MB HIGH IS CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL
YUKON...WHILE A BROAD AND WEAKENING 1020 MB SURFACE LOW PERSISTS
OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF ALASKA. NORTHERLY WINDS ARE NOT TERRIBLY
STRONG BUT ARE OCCURRING OUT OF THE USUAL OUTFLOW LOCATIONS
THROUGH THE TERRAIN GAPS OF THE CHUGACH RANGE.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
GUIDANCE REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH BOTH THE UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN AS WELL AS THE SURFACE...ESPECIALLY WITH THE SETUP AND
EVOLUTION OF THE BLOCKING HIGH. THE FRONT OVER THE BERING WILL
LIFT NORTH-NORTHEAST TOWARD THE NORTHERN AND NORTHEASTERN BERING
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE DISSIPATING SUNDAY OFFSHORE.

&&

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

A WEAK UPPER LOW TRANSITING EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GULF WILL
WORK IN CONCERT WITH STRENGTHENING HIGH PRESSURE OVER INTERIOR
ALASKA TO PULL MUCH OF THE HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDINESS PERSISTING OVER
COASTAL LOCATIONS THIS MORNING OUT TO SEA BY THIS AFTERNOON.
FURTHER DOWN IN THE ATMOSPHERE...THE WEAK TROUGH IMPACTING THE
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND COOK INLET REGION WILL KEEP MID-LEVEL
CLOUDINESS AROUND TODAY BEFORE CLEARING FROM THE NORTH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL USHER IN A MULTI-DAY PERIOD OF
SUNNY SKIES AND COLD CONDITIONS TO MOST AREAS.

GAP WINDS ARE STILL BLOWING...THOUGH MUCH WEAKER THAN PREVIOUS
DAYS. EXPECT A GENERAL DOWNWARD TREND TO CONTINUE...WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF THOMPSON PASS AND THE VALDEZ AREA WHERE DENSE ARCTIC
AIR FROM THE COPPER RIVER BASIN WILL CONTINUE TO BLEED OUT FROM
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS TO THE OCEAN. HOWEVER...EVEN THESE WIND
SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY ON THE LOW END OF MODERATE BY
RELATIVE STANDARDS (FOR THE WINTER MONTHS).

BY THE END OF DAY 2 (SUNDAY) 850 HPA TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO
WARM IN RESPONSE TO MEAN NORTHERLY FLOW WARMING OFF THE ALASKA
RANGE. WHILE THIS WILL NOT IMPACT TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE...IT
WILL STEEPEN LOW-LEVEL INVERSIONS AROUND THE AREA. THIS COULD SET
THE STAGE FOR SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT ALONG KNIK ARM/COOK
INLET/ANCHORAGE SUNDAY NIGHT AND BEYOND. AT THIS POINT FOG
DEVELOPMENT IS STILL CONSIDERED UNLIKELY BASED ON A CONTINUED
FAIRLY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA KEEPING THE
ATMOSPHERE REASONABLY WELL MIXED. SIMILARLY...LOW- LEVEL
TRAJECTORIES FOR THE ANCHORAGE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO COME FROM THE
VERY DRY AIRMASS IN THE MATANUSKA VALLEY...WHICH WOULD ALSO HINDER
FOG FORMATION. HOWEVER...THIS WILL BE MONITORED CLOSELY IN
UPCOMING FORECAST CYCLES.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...

A WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE CROSSING THE ALASKA RANGE THIS MORNING HAS
SPARKED SOME LOW CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE EASTERN
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL WEAKEN THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS AND BRING AN END TO THE SNOW SHOWERS AND ALLOW SKIES TO BEGIN
TO CLEAR. HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...ALLOWING FOR A
PERIOD OF DRIER WEATHER AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. HIGH TEMPERATURES
HAVE ALREADY BEEN OBSERVED FOR MUCH OF THE REGION...WITH TEMPERATURES
FALLING THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS BEFORE BRIEFLY RECOVERING DURING
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO NEAR NORMAL TO
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK UNDER
CLEAR SKIES.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...

SCATTEROMETER DATA FROM THIS MORNING CONFIRMS THAT THE FRONT
PRESENTLY LOCATED BETWEEN DUTCH HARBOR AND ATKA CONTINUES TO
WEAKEN AS IT BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE EASTERN BERING SEA. THIS HIGH PRESSURE WILL ACT AS A SHIELD
AND SIGNIFICANTLY HALT THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT. THE
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY DISSIPATE DURING THE DAY TODAY...WITH
MOST IF NOT ALL PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOUNDARY COMING
TO AN END. BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...A LOW WILL SKIRT THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS AND WESTERN BERING SEA BRINGING YET ANOTHER SPELL OF
GALE FORCE WINDS AND A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW TO THE WESTERN HALF
ONE-THIRD OF THE BERING SEA. PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD EASTWARD
SUNDAY AFTERNOON BUT HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
WILL KEEP THE EASTERN ONE-THIRD OF THE BERING SEA ON THE DRY SIDE.
WITH LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY OVER THE
EASTERN BERING SEA AND SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE HYDROLAPSE PROFILES
FORECASTED...DID MENTION SOME PATCHY FOG EAST OF THE PRIBILOF
ISLANDS.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...

MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL REMAIN DRY AS A STOUT BLOCKING HIGH OVER
THE BERING REMAINS DOMINANT. THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE NOW HINTING AT
A STRONGER RIDGE RIDING SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGGING INTO SOUTHCENTRAL
LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...THEN RETROGRADING INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA
WEDNESDAY. INITIALLY...WITH A STRONG 1040 MB HIGH OVER THE YUKON
AND LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE NORTH PACIFIC...THIS PATTERN WILL
FAVOR INCREASING GAP WINDS AND CONTINUED COLD AND DRY CONDITIONS
ACROSS SOUTHERN ALASKA. HOWEVER...AS THE UPPER LOW RETROGRADES
INTO THE BERING SEA WEDNESDAY...GULF MOISTURE AND CLOUDS WILL
RAPIDLY MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN GULF COAST AND KODIAK ISLAND AS
EARLY AS TUESDAY NIGHT. THE 00Z ECMWF...CANADIAN GDPS...AND GFS
PARALLEL ALL SUPPORT THIS SCENARIO. THE ONE OUTLIER IS THE 06Z GFS
WHICH DEPICTS THE TROUGH DROPPING INTO THE YUKON...KEEPING
SOUTHCENTRAL DRY THROUGH THURSDAY. THAT SOLUTION WAS TOSSED OUT AS
A SIGNIFICANT OUTLIER.

THEREAFTER...THE MODEL SPREAD GROWS DRAMATICALLY WITH RESPECT TO
THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW TRACK INTO THE GULF...BUT THE GENERAL
PATTERN WILL ONCE AGAIN YIELD WARMER AIR AND FRONTS TRACKING INTO
THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND. THIS WILL MODERATE TEMPS...AND GENERALLY
KEEP PRECIPITATION RELEGATED TO THE COAST WITH SHOWERY CONDITIONS
INLAND.
