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 Sep 19, 5:03 PM AKDT, 10 hours 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 19, 5:03 PM AKDT, 10 hours 29 minutes before

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
503 PM AKDT MON SEP 19 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Satellite imagery this morning shows the main stacked low over
the western Bering with a large associated front curving from
eastern Russia through the western Alaska coast. The front then
extends southward through the eastern Aleutians into the North
Pacific. Downstream of the front, ridging continues to build over
Mainland Alaska and the Gulf. These features are all key players
in a very active weather pattern over southern Alaska through the
remainder of the week.

Strong southerly flow along the front, reinforced aloft by a
meridional upper-level jet, is transporting ample subtropical
moisture northward towards western Alaska. This deep moisture is
supporting steady rain along the front over the southern Alaska
Peninsula and Kuskokwim Delta coast with fairly impressive
rainfall totals being reported. The front is also bringing gale
force winds to the southwest coast through the southern Alaska
Peninsula. Another swath of gale force winds is wrapping around
the main low into the southwest Bering, supported by cold air
advection aloft and a tight surface pressure gradient. Further
east, ridging over Southcentral is allowing for calmer weather
ahead of the front.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are still in general agreement, with the upper level low
slowly drifting eastward, and the low level jet intensifying and
pushing towards the Gulf Coast. However, even with good synoptic
agreement, even small model disagreements between models are great
enough to change the intensity and location of the expected gap
winds. There is generally high confidence for strong winds through
channeled terrain such as through Turnagain Arm. However, there
is much less certainty in when and with what strength the gusts
will reach Anchorage. The latest NAM model indicates more westerly
winds aloft, which results in greater trapping and a more well-
developed mountain wave. This results in lower pressure over
Anchorage and helps to "pull" the Turnagain Arm winds more
northward than other models.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The Bering storm is expected to bring the strongest winds of the
week on Tuesday and Wednesday as a very strong front pushes through
the region. A broader swath of subtropical moisture, in comparison
to last week's storm, is streaming around this system which will
result in higher rain accumulations across the gulf coastal
locations.

The front is expected to move into the western Gulf and Kodiak
Island early Tuesday as the base of the trough swings eastward
slightly faster than the frontal boundary along the southwest.
Winds shift to the southeasterly direction with the front moving
into the region. Confidence remains high for this storm to
produce hurricane force winds along Turnagain Arm, much of the
Anchorage area and Portage Valley; therefore, the High Wind Watches
for these areas were upgraded to Warnings with the afternoon package.
The High Wind Watch for Cordova was kept intact as we continue to
monitor the progression of this storm. The other impact of concern
is for heavy rainfall, especially across the eastern side of the
Aleutian Range and near Seward. Rain develops across the western
Gulf, Kenai, and north to the western Alaska range Tuesday
morning then spreads north and east through the afternoon. The
Copper River Basin will not see higher chances for rain until
Wednesday night when the upper jet shifts further east.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A strong front associated with an impressive Bering Sea low will
continue to push into the western coast of Alaska and the Alaska
Peninsula tonight, bringing an extended period of strong winds and
moderate to heavy rain to much of the Southwest Mainland through
Tuesday Night. The potential for high surf and erosion along the
coast of the Kuskokwim Delta remains a concern through this
evening/tonight, as the front moves ashore accompanied by high-end
gale force winds out of the south. The worst conditions are expected
to persist through the late evening before conditions rapidly
improve as the front departs to the east.

The front will clear the Kuskokwim Delta region by late tonight,
with rain spreading eastward into the Kuskokwim Valley and Bristol
Bay regions. Attention then turns to a triple-point low developing
south of the Alaska Peninsula late tonight and riding northward
along the front into Bristol Bay by Tuesday night. In addition to
continuing the steady rain over the area, this feature will
tighten the gradient over the Alaska/Aleutian Range, which will
produce strong southeast winds through the Kamishak Gap and along
the western slopes of the Aleutian Range from Tuesday afternoon
into Tuesday night. The track and evolution of this developing
wave will bear close monitoring, as small changes in the details
could have large implications on the wind forecast in the next
24 to 36 hours.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The front extending eastward from the large, mature low over the
western Bering will keep the most significant weather impacts
over the southeast Bering through tonight, as rain and southerly
gale force winds with storm force gusts spread into the Alaska
Peninsula tonight. The front will move off to the east by early
Tuesday, leaving widespread showers and gusty southwest winds over
a large swath of the Bering as the low move eastward towards Saint
Matthew Island. A core of cold air aloft associated with the low
center could generate enough instability to touch off a few
thunderstorms over the Bering through Tuesday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Beginning the extended period forecast Wednesday evening, a large
and powerful trough will encompass the entire region. The
associated storm force warm front will be moving toward the
eastern Gulf of Alaska. Over the Bering there will be broad
cyclonic flow and weak cold air advection. However, lapse rates
will be rather steep so widespread convective showers will
encompass the whole Bering and Aleutians. Farther east, the main
moisture stream will be oriented from Prince William Sound east,
but is expected to retrograde slightly west by Thursday morning as
a basal shortwave trough moves toward the Gulf of Alaska. Rain
will overspread the Copper Basin, north Gulf coast, and will
eventually make it into Anchorage north to the Susitna Valley. The
strongest storm force winds will remain over the eastern Gulf of
Alaska, but gale force winds may move as far west as Prince
William Sound. By Friday, the strong front will weaken and move
inland, leaving a broad and weakening trough over the eastern
Bering with widespread shower activity lasting through Saturday.

By Monday, the upper wave pattern becomes more progressive and
noisy as a series of upper PV anomalies split off the polar trough
and dig into the Bering Sea and southern Alaska. However, with
rather diffuse baroclinic instability and a detached subtropical
jet stream, these lows look to be rather weak with more sporadic
rain and shower chances heading into mid week. Temperatures will
be slightly cooler with weak cold air advection and the loss of
subtropical moisture pumping inland.
