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 Jan 9, 5:25 AM AKST, 9 hours 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 5:25 AM AKST, 9 hours 56 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
525 AM AKST SAT JAN 9 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE FLOW PATTERN ALOFT LOOKS A LITTLE MORE CONVOLUTED ON THE LARGE
SCALE THIS MORNING. THE MAIN BRANCH OF THE JET STREAM IS STILL
WELL SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS IN THE CENTRAL PACIFIC. A LARGE
COMPLEX SYSTEM OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS ENCOMPASS AN AREA OF THE NORTH
PACIFIC SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA...WHICH IS THE MAIN SOURCE
OF ACTIVE WEATHER. A CLOSED HIGH PRESSURE IS SITTING OVER THE
BEAUFORT/CHUKCHI SEAS...AIDING IN DIRECTING THE PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS ON A STORM TRACK FROM THE
NORTHCENTRAL PACIFIC THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND.

THE CURRENT SYSTEM AFFECTING THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND IS A STACKED
MATURE LOW PRESSURE WITH AN OCCLUSION PUSHING OVER THE REGION
EARLY THIS MORNING. A LINGERING SURFACE TROUGH/FRONTAL BOUNDARY
OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA HAS JOINED FORCES WITH THE INCOMING
LOW PRESSURE AND IS SPREADING SNOW AND WIND OVER THE PRIBILOF
ISLANDS THROUGH THE ALASKA PENINSULA. WINDS ACROSS THE REGION HAVE
PICKED UP IN RESPONSE TO THE TIGHTENING GRADIENT WITH THE
APPROACHING SYSTEM.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
GUIDANCE IS IN MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT TODAY WITH THE LARGE SCALE
FEATURES IN THE PATTERN. SMALL SCALE DIFFERENCES ARE EVIDENT WITH
THE TROUGH POSITION NEAR THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS WITH SOME NOW
TRENDING TOWARD A MORE WESTERLY POSITION BETWEEN ST. PAUL/ST.
GEORGE BEFORE IT MOVES NORTHWARD. OTHERWISE THE MOST NOTABLE
VARIANCE IS THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT MAKES IT TO THE SURFACE IN
DOWNSLOPING. THE EAST DOMAIN PREFERRED THE NAM/GFS TRANSITIONING
TO ECMWF/GFS WHILE THE WEST PREFERRED THE EC/GFS.

&&

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

A SERIES OF LOWS AND ASSOCIATED FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL MOVE NORTH
ACROSS THE GULF THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE FIRST IN THE SERIES OF
LOWS MOVES INTO BRISTOL BAY THIS AFTERNOON AND WEAKENS WITH ITS
ASSOCIATED FRONTAL TROUGH MOVING NORTH ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL THIS
AFTERNOON. THE WINDS WILL BE THE LARGE IMPACT WITH GALES ACROSS
MANY MARINE AREAS(BRIEF STORMS FOR THE BARREN ISLANDS EARLY
MORNING) WITH STRONG/BRISK GAP FLOWS IN THE FAVORED LOCALS
(TURNAGAIN/PORTAGE/MAT VALLEY/COPPER RIVER) INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. WINDS ACROSS THE MAINLAND AND COASTAL MARINES WILL BRIEFLY
DIMINISH THIS EVENING BUT WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE AGAIN OVERNIGHT
WHEN THE NEXT IN A SERIES OF FRONTS AND LOWS HEADS NORTH INTO THE
GULF. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF GALES TO STORMS IN THE
MARINE AREAS AND BRISK TO STRONG GAP FLOWS SUN.

SPOTTY FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE MATSU/ANCHORAGE BOWL SHOULD END BY
LATE MORNING AS CROSS BARRIER FLOW INCREASES. RAIN IS GENERALLY
EXPECTED ACROSS THE COASTS WITH A MIX INLAND TODAY. CONDITIONS
WILL LIKELY BECOME MORE SHOWERY IN MANY AREAS AS TEMPS COOL ALOFT.
SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON COULD ALSO BE LOCALLY HEAVY ACROSS THE
NORTH GULF AND BECOME MIXED WITH SNOW. SHOWERY CONDITIONS WILL
GIVE WAY TO STRATIFORM RAIN ACROSS THE GULF AND MIX INLAND ON SUN
WITH THE APPROACH OF THE NEXT FRONT. THE COASTS AGAIN RECEIVE THE
BRUNT OF THE PRECIPITATION AS DOWNSLOPE DRYING WILL LIMIT QPF
VALUES INLAND.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A NORTH PACIFIC SURFACE LOW CROSSES THE ALASKA PENINSULA TODAY
AND CONTINUES ON A NORTHWEST TRACK THROUGH TONIGHT PUSHING A
WEAKENING FRONT ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND AND ALASKA
PENINSULA. PRECIPITATION WILL STAY MAINLY RAIN ACROSS THE
ALEUTIAN RANGE AND ALASKA PENINSULA DURING THE DAY AND MIX WITH
SNOW OVERNIGHT. ELSEWHERE...LOCATIONS WILL SEE A MIX OF
PRECIPITATION WITH POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE AS A WARMER
AIR MASS JUST OFF THE SURFACE GLIDES NORTHWEST ALONG A STRONG LOW
LEVEL JET. GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN RESPONSE
TO SEVERAL SURFACE LOWS TRACKING TOWARD THE EASTERN BERING. WIND
WILL SHIFT DIRECTIONS WITH THE PASSAGE OF EACH SYSTEM.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
LOW PRESSURE SLIDES INTO THE EASTERN BERING THIS MORNING MOVING A
WARM FRONT ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN BERING. A MIX OF SNOW
AND RAIN ACCOMPANIES THIS FRONT WITH A COLDER AIR MASS FILTERING
IN FROM THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS/BERING KEEPING A SNOW SHOWERY REGIME
TO THE WEST. THE BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS WAS
CANCELLED THIS MORNING AS THE WARMER AIR MASS NUDGED FURTHER
NORTH AND WEST THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE A
SHORT WINDOW WHEN THE COLD FRONT NOSES INTO THE THE CENTRAL BERING
BRINGING STRONGER WEST WINDS WHILE THE DEFORMATION ZONE STRETCHES
ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE BERING. THE TIME FRAME WILL OCCUR
SOMETIME THIS EVENING THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW
ON THE TIMING OF THIS EVENT AND PLACEMENT OF THE DEFORMATION ZONE
AS MODELS STRUGGLE TO HANDLE MULTIPLE CLOSED SYSTEMS TRACKING
QUICKLY NORTH FROM THE PACIFIC.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
AN ELONGATED NORTH PACIFIC LOW WILL BE POSITIONED JUST SOUTH OF
KODIAK ISLAND AND EXTEND INTO THE BRISTOL BAY REGION. THIS SYSTEM
WILL BECOME A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL BERING
SEA BY MIDWEEK. AS THIS SYSTEM TRANSITIONS INTO THE BERING SEA IT
WILL SEND SHORTWAVES THROUGH THE WESTERN/NORTHERN GULF. THE COASTAL
COMMUNITIES ALONG THE EASTERN KENAI PENINSULA AND THE PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND REGION WILL RECEIVE THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION.
WHILE THE ANCHORAGE BOWL AND THE WESTERN KENAI WILL HAVE DOWNSLOPE
DRIER CONDITIONS. THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING WITH
MOSTLY ALL RAIN EXCEPT FOR A MIXTURE OF RAIN/SNOW FOR THE INLAND
