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 Aug 20, 4:39 PM AKDT, 11 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 20, 4:39 PM AKDT, 11 hours 13 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 439 PM AKDT SAT AUG 20 2016 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... The transition towards a significantly wetter weather pattern for southern Alaska is underway. The main player in this pattern change is an amplifying upper trough over the eastern Bering with multiple embedded upper shortwaves. At the surface, a strong warm front is pushing eastward through western Alaska. The upper shortwaves combined with strong ascent in the lower and mid levels and fairly strong onshore flow is supporting widespread rainfall along the front. Along and ahead of the front, gusty southerly winds are being reported throughout western Alaska as the surface pressure gradient is squeezed and stronger momentum air is mixed down from aloft. Weak ridging over southcentral is holding on for one last afternoon and keeping areas east of the front mostly dry today. Cloud cover is increasing throughout the day over the northern and western Gulf coast and Mat-Su Valleys as flow gains more of an onshore component ahead of the advancing trough. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... While most of the synoptic setup depicted in the models remains mostly the same across the area, it appears as if guidance slowing and stalling the trough with this morning's 12z runs. Precipitation timing looks delayed, at least the main surge of frontal moisture into Southcentral Alaska. Otherwise the evolution of this system is well agreed upon as we move through the week. Unsurprisingly, this trough gets handled much like the last, getting squeezed between two ridges, then sending waves of impulses our way while the whole trough breaks down. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Upper trough and surface warm front approaching from the west will begin to push rain across the upper Cook Inlet and Matanuska and Susitna Valleys later this evening into the overnight. This warm front is the leading edge of an extremely moist air mass from the subtropical Western Pacific, though the Alaska Range will modify that somewhat, at least initially. This area of isentropic lift will spread eastward overnight to Prince William Sounds and portions of the Copper River Basin. Sunday through Monday looks very wet across nearly all of Southcentral as a plethora of waves moves through the longwave trough, rotating northeastward across Southcentral. Amplification of the upper flow will cause eastward progression of the surface front to stall as it reaches the western Gulf. It will also lead to strengthening of the southerly jet and development of strong gap winds. With lots of moisture, dynamic lift, and strong upslope flow expect moderate to heavy rain for much of the area. Recent weeks of rain have saturated the ground in most places and rivers and streams are running fairly high. Thus, will have to keep a close eye out for flooding potential. Right now it looks like the most likely area to see some minor river or stream flooding would be the Susitna Valley which will see a prolonged period of strong upslope flow leading to heavier rain. Although there will be a southeasterly component to low level flow on Sunday and Sunday Night producing some aspect of downslope flow along the Kenai and Chugach Mountains, mid to upper level flow will be out of the south to southwest. As mentioned above, there will also be a lot of vertical motion generated from dynamic lift as a series of disturbances/impulses move through. Therefore, the Western Kenai up to Anchorage and the Matanuska Valley can expect to see steady rain despite the winds. Rainfall intensity and total amounts will be quite a bit less than in upslope areas. Lastly, some of the wind will bend northward out of the gaps, affecting portions of Anchorage and the Matanuska Valley. Winds will also be quite robust along the Copper River. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Significant rainfall is expected tonight and Sun as a front moves across the region and stalls along the Ak and Aleutian ranges. This front will bring gale force winds south of the Akpen tonight into Sun. An upper level trough that remains over southwest Ak will keep then rain and showers over the area on Mon. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... A front will keep rain and small craft winds over the Aleutians as it crosses into the north Pacific through Sun. A new front on Mon will bring another round of rain as it crosses the Bering to the Aleutians by Mon evening. Small craft level winds are expected to follow the front, mainly over the eastern Bering and Pribilof Islands. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... An active weather pattern continues to headline the extended forecast through much of next week. A stalling broad upper level trough stretching from the Central Bering/Aleutians eastward to the Southwest Mainland, will begin to elongate Monday and split the energy north and south by Tuesday. The Northern portion will remain north of Norton sound and head back into the Arctic by Wednesday. The focus shifts to the energy that splits off to the south, which models continue to show multiple waves associated with this upper low tracking back northward into the Gulf and Southern Mainland mid to late next week. Confidence has increased with better model agreement on a frontal system bringing in gusty winds and precipitation to the Southern Mainland Monday. However, there still remains some uncertainty with the multiple waves tracking northward into the Southern Mainland and Gulf mid to late next week. These waves will bring more rainy and windy conditions to the southern mainland during this time frame, but the finer details are still being hammered out regarding the timing and placement. A Front associated with a low near the kamchatka peninsula will track into the western Bering Wednesday and weaken as it tracks eastward into the eastern Bering by the end of the week. This will bring another round of wet weather to the area as it traverses through the Bering late next week. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
