What forecasters said that day

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 Mar 25, 5:20 AM AKDT, 10 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 25, 5:20 AM AKDT, 10 hours 5 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
520 AM AKDT FRI MAR 25 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A WEAK SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDS FROM THE EASTERN
GULF OF ALASKA INTO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND ALCAN BORDER.
A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW IS SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS OVER A
WEAK COMPLEX AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE. THE RIDGING OVER THE
EASTERN GULF COUPLED WITH THE LOW IN THE EASTERN BERING SEA IS
HOLDING THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA IN A WARM SOUTH
SOUTHEAST FLOW REGIME. THE TYPICAL CROSS BARRIER DOWN SLOPE DRYING
EFFECT IS PREVALENT ON THE LEE OF THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS.

AN INTENSIFYING STORM WELL SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS HAS A
FRONT EXTENDING TO A TRIPLE POINT WELL SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS. THE MAIN JET IS RUNNING EAST WEST ALONG 41N PUMPING
MOISTURE INTO THE LOW COMPLEX IN THE GULF OF ALASKA.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

THE MODELS REMAIN IN VERY GOOD SYNOPTIC SCALE AGREEMENT. AS IS
TYPICAL...THE HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS MORE ACCURATELY DEPICT THE
QPF ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND BETTER ACCOUNTING FOR THE DOWN
SLOPE DRYING FROM THE CROSS BARRIER FLOW. THIS RESULTS IN A DEGREE
OF VARIABILITY IN THE DIFFERENT MODEL QPF OUTPUT. THE NAM AND
CANADIAN MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT AND DO NOT BRING AS
MUCH OR AS WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TO THE NORTH GULF COAST SAT
AND ARE THE PREFERRED SOLUTION AT THIS TIME.

&&

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

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA AND ITS ASSOCIATED
FRONT WILL MOVE NORTHWARD TODAY AND TONIGHT. THIS IS BRINGING
INCREASING MOISTURE AND SHOWERS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA. THE
FRONT WILL PUSH INLAND LATER TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL THEN BREAK
APART ON SATURDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WEAKENS AND ELONGATES
OVER THE GULF. THERE WILL THEN BE A BRIEF BREAK SATURDAY NIGHT AS
THE NEXT SYSTEM WINDS UP SOUTH OF KODIAK. A FEW SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE OVER THE SUSITNA VALLEY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER
WESTERN ALASKA THAT IS MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST JUST SKIRTS THAT
AREA.

&&

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

A FAIRLY DIFFUSE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WILL
CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD TODAY...KEEPING SOME SHOWERS/LIGHT
PRECIP AROUND THE AREA. WINDS HAVE SWITCHED AROUND TO THE SOUTH
AT MOST LOCATIONS WITH VERY WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION. THIS HAS NOT
COOLED SURFACE TEMPERATURES THAT MUCH...BUT HAS ALLOWED PRECIPITATION
TYPE TO SWITCH OVER TO SNOW AT MOST INLAND LOCATIONS AND ALONG THE
COAST OVER THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. WIDESPREAD FOG HAS ALSO DEVELOPED
IN THE WEAK ONSHORE FLOW ACROSS COASTAL AREAS. SHOWER ACTIVITY
WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN FROM THE
EASTERN BERING...PROVIDING A BRIEF REPRIEVE BEFORE MUCH MORE
ACTIVE WEATHER ARRIVES LATE IN THE WEEKEND. BY SATURDAY NIGHT A
POTENT UPPER TROUGH WITH AN ACCOMPANYING QUICK SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR
WILL DIVE SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. THERE IS STILL
SOME QUESTION OF HOW FAR SOUTH THE MOST IMPRESSIVE DYNAMIC LIFT
WILL MAKE IT...BUT IT IS NOW LOOKING INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT AT
LEAST AREAS EAST OF BETHEL SHOULD GET SOME SNOW OUT OF THIS QUICK-
HITTING FEATURE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAKE FOR FAIRLY BENIGN CONDITIONS ACROSS
MOST OF THE AREA TODAY. THIS WILL BE CHANGING AS A STRONG 195+ KT
EAST ASIAN JET IS IN THE PROCESS OF INITIATING AN AMPLIFICATION
OF THE PREVIOUSLY ZONAL JET STREAM AND STORM TRACK SOUTH OF THE
ALEUTIANS. A STRONG GALE-FORCE FRONT WILL ARRIVE IN THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS THIS EVENING AND SLOWLY GRIND EASTWARD THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THE CENTRAL PRESSURE OF THE ASSOCIATED LOW WILL DROP INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 950S RANGE AND ONLY SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES
EASTWARD. THUS AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY WARNING-
LEVEL WINDS WITH THIS SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH
WARM AIR SURGING NORTHWARD TO ENSURE THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS REMAIN
NEARLY ALL-RAIN FOR THIS STORM...WITH THE PRIBILOFS THE ONLY
EXCEPTION TO THIS TREND (SEE LONG TERM DISCUSSION BELOW).

&&

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

ON SUNDAY THE COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING OVER THE WEST
COAST OF MAINLAND ALASKA WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST BRUSHING PAST
THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY...BRINGING SOME
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AS WELL AS COOLER LOW LEVEL
AIR. A LARGE FRONTAL SYSTEM STRETCHED FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN BERING AND ALASKA PENINSULA WILL LIFT NORTH SPREADING
PRECIPITATION ACROSS BRISTOL BAY AREA AND KODIAK ISLAND ON SUNDAY
THEN CONTINUE FURTHER INTO SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA
SUNDAY NIGHT. FOR THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND RIVER VALLEY THE
OVERRUNNING OF THIS WARMER FRONTAL MOISTURE OVER THE COLD LOW
LEVEL AIR IN PLACE AND BEING REINFORCED NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE
WINDS WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR BOTH SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN
SUNDAY NIGHT. ADDITIONALLY THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS LOOK TO BE ON THE
COLD SIDE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH SNOW AND BLOWING A POTENTIAL
CONCERN THERE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.

FURTHER EAST PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD NORTH AS PREDOMINATELY
RAIN AND MARK THE ONSET OF A PATTERN SHIFT TOWARDS MUCH WARMER
AND WETTER CONDITIONS. UNSEASONABLY STRONG RIDGING BUILDING
ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND EASTERN GULF PAIRED WITH A VERY
LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED WELL SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS WILL
AIM A DEEP SOUTHERLY FETCH OF MOISTURE WITH STRONG JET SUPPORT
RIGHT AT SOUTHERN ALASKA. A SERIES OF FRONTAL WAVES WILL LIFT UP
OVER THE AREA THROUGH MIDWEEK BRINGING A STEADY INCREASE IN BOTH
TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA MONDAY
