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 Oct 16, 4:55 AM AKDT, 10 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 16, 4:55 AM AKDT, 10 hours 25 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 455 AM AKDT SUN OCT 16 2016 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... Upper level troughs are over the eastern half of mainland AK and draped across Kamchatka into the western Bering this morning. A massive upper level ridge is centered over eastern Russia as well as the eastern Bering. A tight northerly gradient persists over western AK into the AKpen, and the near zonal jet remains just south of the forecast area. At the surface, a strong low pressure center is over the northern Gulf and a weaker low is just south of Attu. A decaying front extends from the western Bering to Dutch Harbor, and a cool high remains over much of the mainland. The tight pressure gradient between the mainland high and the Gulf low is keeping strong wind blowing out of channeled terrain near Valdez, and through the Matanuska Valley. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models agree that the low in the Gulf will drift to near Homer later Mon and Mon night. This will bring plenty of unstable moisture-laden air into the northern Gulf, Prince William Sound and the Kenai Peninsula through Mon night. The gradient responsible for gusty winds will also remain in place during the period. The decaying front over the Bering continues to dissipate through tonight. The low south of Attu will move east and affect the western and central Aleutians through Sun before moving into the Gulf on Mon. The forecast utilizes a NAM-GFS blend through the period. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions with N winds up to 10 kt will continue this morning as the pressure gradient continues to flow down inlet. These winds will begin to increase this afternoon as a wave moves into the western Gulf, with the strongest winds developing this evening with gusts up to 25 kt that will persist into Monday morning. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Offshore winds will be trending upward over the next 12 to 24 hours as an area of low pressure in the Gulf of Alaska continues to strengthen and move north and west. Meanwhile, higher pressure still resides along the western half of Alaska with cooler 850 mb air spreading pushing south across Southcentral Alaska. The result will be increased pressure gradients and stronger gap flows tonight and into Monday morning. Gap flows will relax some Monday afternoon with weakening pressure gradients. In addition, precipitation confidence remains high along the north Gulf coast and Prince William Sound areas. The greatest impacts from snow and wind look to be in Thompson Pass where a combination of winds and snow will make for reduced visibilities through the pass. Coastal areas of the eastern Kenai Peninsula will see mainly a mix of rain and snow with snow expected inland and higher elevations. Some light snow or snow showers could make it over the Kenai and Chugach Mountains today. && .FIRE WEATHER (Matanuska Valley)... Northeast winds of 20 to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph can generally be expected today with higher gusts to near 60 mph possible tonight. Northeast winds should slowly diminish beginning by mid morning Monday with wind speeds dropping 15 to 25 mph by late Monday afternoon. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Dry offshore flow will persist through Monday night as an arctic trough digging over the eastern half of the mainland retrogrades westward to the vicinity of Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula. Temperatures across southwest AK will continue to steadily trend downward during this time as the coldest air mass so far this season filters into the region with the arrival of the trough. Gusty north to northeast winds will also develop by this afternoon in response to a tightening pressure gradient between the digging trough and the strong high over Eastern Russia. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... A decaying frontal boundary will bring light showery conditions to portions of the central Bering through early Monday, with a passing North Pacific low also bringing a chance of rain to the Western and Central Aleutians before it moves away from the area. Otherwise, gusty north winds and gradually clearing skies will prevail across the eastern half of the Bering under the influence of dry northerly flow in advance of the approaching mainland trough. Winds will continue to increase through Monday as the trough moves into the region, with showers also returning to the area as the accompanying cold air aloft moves over the relatively warm waters of the Eastern Bering. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The long range forecast beginning Tuesday will be a slow transitioning pattern with a persistence forecast through the end of the week keeping dry and cool conditions inland and rain across the area waters. Models have been struggling on the how to resolve the track and the speed of the low currently diving into the western Gulf. Starting Tuesday, this trough will dive into the North Pacific, cut-off, and bring a rapidly developing low likely as far north as Kodiak Island, but prevent it from moving much further into the Gulf. There are some differences in the models in the placement, especially from the latest runs of the EC that have been further north than any other solution, and was treated as an outlier. There is enough agreement in the strength of the front however to bring gale force winds and rain throughout the Gulf for mid-week, but this will need to be fine-tuned as agreement in low placement improves. Later this week, a low over the northwest coast and another low from the North Pacific will slowly break down the upper ridge center over the Bering Strait through the end of the next work week. The ECMWF and ensemble mean were used to update the forecast as it was favored for it's run to run consistency. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
