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 Dec 12, 4:43 PM AKST, 11 hours 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 12, 4:43 PM AKST, 11 hours 11 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
443 PM AKST SAT DEC 12 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA IS WOBBLING
ITS WAY VERY SLOWLY EASTWARD. IN A GENERALLY WEAKLY UNSTABLE
ARCTIC AIR MASS SNOW SHOWERS ARE BEING OBSERVED ACROSS PORTIONS
OF SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA. A BUILDING UPSTREAM RIDGE
WITH ASSOCIATED JET STREAK MOVING OVER TOP OF IT WILL HELP KICK
THIS LOW EASTWARD A LITTLE FASTER TONIGHT.

MEANWHILE THE BIG STORY OF THE DAY IS A VERY DEEP LOW THAT CONTINUES
TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY NEAR THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THE
UPPER JET DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE AS IMPRESSIVE AS CAN BE.
THE LOW DEVELOPED WITHIN A SUBTROPICAL JET COUPLET (LEFT EXIT
REGION OF ONE JET STREAK/RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF ANOTHER) AND A
POLAR JET STREAK COMING IN FROM THE WEST HAS NOW MERGED IN WITH
THE SUBTROPICAL JET STREAK TO THE SOUTH OF THE LOW CENTER. THIS IS
ADVECTING DEEP ARCTIC AIR INTO THE SYSTEM HELPING TO DEEPEN IT
EVEN FURTHER. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO SURFACE OBSERVATIONS IN THE
IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE LOW CENTER THE ESTIMATED CENTRAL
PRESSURE WAS 940 MB OR LOWER AS OF LATE MORNING. CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS AND INTO THE BERING SEA ARE RAPIDLY
DETERIORATING. THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THIS SYSTEM IS HIGH WINDS
AND SEAS. HOWEVER...THE AIR MASS OUT AHEAD OF THE (NOW) OCCLUDING
FRONT IS COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW AS PRECIP FIRST ARRIVES...SO
SOME AREAS WILL SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF BLOWING SNOW. FOR
SHEMYA...WHICH IS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM...PRECIP WILL BE
ALL SNOW. TEMPERATURES ARE SITTING A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING
RIGHT NOW...BUT AS WINDS BACK AND TEMPS DROP A BIT THERE COULD BE
A BRIEF PERIOD OF NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS LATER TODAY TO GO ALONG
WITH THE HIGH WINDS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS REMAIN IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN
AND MANY OF THE SMALLER DETAILS AS WELL....SO OVERALL FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH. WITH A FAST MOVING OCCLUDED FRONT THE MAIN
FORECAST CHALLENGE IS DETERMINING THE EXTENT OF SNOWFALL AND
BLOWING SNOW PRIOR TO PASSAGE OF THE FRONT AND WARMER TEMPERATURES
BEHIND THE FRONT. IN ADDITION...AS THE FRONT REACHES THE GULF OF
ALASKA MODELS INDICATE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRIPLE POINT LOW IN THE
VICINITY OF THE SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA/WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM
SOUND. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT LOCATION...WHICH
WILL BE KEY TO DISTRIBUTION OF WIND AND PRECIP IN THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE WEAK SURFACE LOW POSITIONED IN THE NORTHERN GULF IS LOCATED
JUST OFFSHORE OF SEWARD. THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE A
SHOWERY WEATHER REGIME ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. PRECIPITATION
WILL TAPER OFF AS THE SYSTEM DISSIPATES BY SUNDAY MORNING. BY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON A WEATHER FRONT WILL BE ENTERING THE SOUTHWESTERN
GULF AS IT MOVES THROUGH KODIAK ISLAND. THIS WILL BRING GALE FORCE
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE BARREN ISLANDS REGION. BY LATE
SUNDAY EVENING THIS SYNOPTIC FEATURE WILL BE OVER THE NORTHERN
GULF COASTLINE BRINGING GALE FORCE WINDS ALONG THE NORTHERN
COASTLINE BEFORE ENTERING PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND BY EARLY MONDAY
MORNING. LOOK FOR RAIN AND SNOW AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE
KODIAK ISLAND ON SUNDAY AND THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION WILL RECEIVE
SNOW AS THIS FRONT MOVES TO THE NORTHERN GULF. THE ANCHORAGE BOWL
WILL HAVE DRIER CONDITIONS DUE TO DOWNSLOPING. THE PORTAGE AND
WHITTIER AREA WILL HAVE RECEIVE ALL SNOW WITH GUSTY EASTERLY WINDS
ACCOMPANIED BY BLOWING SNOW GOING INTO MONDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SEND A FRONT INTO THE EASTERN
BERING SEA AND ONTO THE MAINLAND LATE TONIGHT. THE FIRST EFFECT WILL
BE AN INCREASE IN WINDS ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA
COAST...PROMPTING A BLIZZARD WARNING. SOON AFTER...SNOW WILL BEGIN
TO FALL FURTHER LIMITING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. THIS WILL BE SHORT
LIVED AS THE FRONT IS QUICKLY MOVING INLAND. WINDS SHOULD ALSO
TURN TO THE SOUTH IN THE AFTERNOON AND BRING TEMPERATURE UP NEAR
FREEZING...ENDING THE BLOWING SNOW THREAT.

A STRONGER UPPER DISTURBANCE AS WELL AS UPSLOPE FLOW ALONG THE
TERRAIN WILL MAKE FOR A BIT MORE SNOW IN THE GREATER BRISTOL BAY
REGION. THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALONG THE ALEUTIAN/ALASKA RANGE
SHOULD SEE FAR LESS ACCUMULATING SNOW...ONLY AN INCH OR TWO.
STRONGER WINDS THROUGH THE GAPS WILL CREATE A BLOWING SNOW
HAZARD...MAINLY INLAND BUT SOME AREAS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE
WESTERN CAPES OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

ONCE THE FRONT PASSES QUICKLY INTO THE INTERIOR AND WEAKENS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...A MORE SHOWERY REGIME WILL TAKE IT'S PLACE WITH A MIX
OF RAIN AND SNOW. THESE CONDITIONS WILL LINGER THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING AS SOUTHERLY WINDS SLOWLY WEAKEN.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
WINDS CONTINUE TO RAMP UP OVER THE WESTERN/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND
BERING SEA. THE STRONGEST WINDS OF THE EVENT WILL BE LATER THIS
EVENING WHEN THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNS MORE TO THE
WEST...ESPECIALLY CHANNELED TERRAIN NEAR ADAK WHERE GUSTS TO CLOSE
TO 100 MPH ARE POSSIBLE. THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY TRAVERSE THE
PRIBILOF ISLAND AND ALASKA PENINSULA OVERNIGHT...FIRST BRINGING
SNOW...THEN QUICKLY TRANSITIONING TO RAIN BEFORE A SHOWERY REGIME
SETS IN BEHIND THE FRONT. THE HIGH WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS AND UMNAK ISLAND ON SUNDAY. THE SYSTEM SLOWLY
WEAKENS IN THE NORTHERN BERING THROUGH MONDAY EVENING...CONTINUING
RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS AND STRONGER WINDS.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
AS THE BERING LOW WEAKENS AND PUSHES NORTH THROUGH TUESDAY THE
SHOWERY REGIME WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE NEXT SYSTEMS MOVE IN. THE
MORE EASTERLY SYSTEM APPROACHES THE WESTERN GULF SOMETIME TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE DISCREPANCY IN TIMING LIES WITH
THE DIFFERENCES IN THE GUIDANCE. THE GFS IS FASTER AND PUSHES THE
LOW INTO BRISTOL BAY WHILE THE EC AND GEM ARE SLOWER AND MOVE THE
LOW INTO THE WESTERN GULF. THERE IS HIGHER CONFIDENCE WITH THE
WESTERN GULF TRACK WHICH RESULTS IN HIGHER WINDS FOR THE GULF
WEDNESDAY. THE OTHER SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE WESTERN BERING ON
THURSDAY WITH THE EC AND GEM BEING FASTER THAN THE SLOWER GFS. AN
ENSEMBLE MEAN SOLUTION WAS PREFERRED WITH THIS SYSTEM WHICH TAKES
A MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN THE DETERMINISTIC RUNS. THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING STRONG WINDS THROUGHOUT THE BERING AND ALEUTIANS THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
