What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Apr 25, 4:33 PM AKDT, 11 hours 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 4:33 PM AKDT, 11 hours 27 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
433 PM AKDT MON APR 25 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THERE IS A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED SOUTH OF THE ALASKA
PENINSULA. THERE IS A FAIRLY STRONG FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW
IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA WHICH HAS SLOWED IN ITS NORTHWARD
PROGRESSION. THERE IS ALSO A SURFACE LOW TO THE SOUTH OF THE
UPPER LOW CENTER THAT JUST ROUNDED THE BASE OF THE LOW AND IS
TURNING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST. THERE IS ANOTHER UPPER LOW SOUTH OF
THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WITH A FRONT/DEFORMATION BAND STRETCHING
ACROSS THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND THEN DOWN TOWARDS THE SURFACE LOW
SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THERE IS A LARGE UPPER RIDGE DRAPED
ACROSS CENTRAL ALASKA AND THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN BERING SEA.
THIS RIDGE IS AN EXTENSION OF THE PERSISTENT WESTERN NORTH
AMERICA RIDGE.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM
PORTION OF THE FORECAST (WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON). THERE IS SOME
DISAGREEMENT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRIPLE POINT LOW SOUTH OF
KODIAK ISLAND ON WEDNESDAY. THE GFS WAS THE PREFERRED SOLUTION. IT
IS SHOWING A MORE "OPEN WAVE" RATHER THAN A STRONG SURFACE LOW.

&&

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

THE SLOW-MOVING FRONT ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST WILL BASICALLY
WEAKEN IN PLACE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS WILL KEEP COPIOUS
RAIN ALONG THE COASTAL/FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS AND GENERALLY DRY
CONDITIONS INLAND. GAP WINDS HAVE DEVELOPED LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING BEFORE DIMINISHING. AS
THE FRONT BREAKS APART TOMORROW A RENEWED PUSH OF SOUTHERLY WINDS
ALOFT WILL STEER THE REMNANTS INLAND IN A MORE FORCEFUL WAY. THIS
WILL AGAIN DEVELOP STRONGER WINDS THROUGH TURNAGAIN ARM AND CAUSE
EVEN PLACES LIKE ANCHORAGE...SEWARD...PALMER...AND GLENNALLEN TO
GET A MORE SUSTAINED AND NOTABLE PUSH OF SOUTH/SOUTHEAST WINDS
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS TOMORROW. WHAT WILL BE
SIMILAR THOUGH IS THAT MOST OF THE PRECIP WILL REMAIN CONFINED TO
THE COAST.

FOR WEDNESDAY...A SERIES OF REINFORCING SHORTWAVES ALOFT WILL
BRING WEAK ASSOCIATED BANDS OF PRECIP INTO THE NORTHERN GULF. WHILE
WINDS WILL BE WEAKER THAN THE FRONT AFFECTING THE AREA TODAY...THE
COASTLINES WILL AGAIN BE QUITE WET WITH A CLASSIC
UPSLOPE/DOWNSLOPE FLOW PERSISTING.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA WILL CAUSE CLOUDY
SKIES AND AREAS OF RAIN TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING. AN
ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW OVER THE WATERS OF BRISTOL BAY WILL
CAUSE STRONG AND GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS TO DIMINISH BY LATE THIS
EVENING. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL THEN REMAIN IN THE AREA THROUGH
TUESDAY...KEEPING SKIES CLOUDY WITH COOL/MOIST CONDITIONS
THROUGHOUT THE AREA AND LIGHT WINDS. THESE WINDS WILL THEN BEGIN
TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH ON WEDNESDAY AS A FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE NORTH PACIFIC.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
ONCE THE GALE FORCE FRONT CURRENTLY OVER THE EASTERN BERING AND
BRISTOL BAY WEAKENS THIS EVENING...THE WEATHER SHOULD BECOME
RELATIVELY QUIET ONCE AGAIN AS AN ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
SETS UP OVER THE BERING. THIS WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND CLOUDS FOR
MUCH OF THE REGION INTO MID WEEK WITH WINDS REMAINING BELOW GALE
FORCE.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
NO BIG CHANGES IN THE WEATHER FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD. WEDNESDAY
EVENING AND THURSDAY FEATURE AN EXTENSION OF THE CURRENT WEATHER
PATTERN. MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AS A FRONT PUSHES
UP AGAINST THE NORTH GULF COAST AND SPREADS MOISTURE INLAND. THE
GULF COAST WILL SEE THE BRUNT OF THESE SYSTEMS WITH STEADIER RAIN
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY A MORE SHOWERY REGIME THURSDAY INTO
THE WEEKEND. INLAND AREAS AROUND SOUTHCENTRAL WILL ESCAPE THE
STEADY RAIN BUT SOME SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES COULD MAKE IT OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AT TIMES. CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES SUPPRESSED,
BUT STILL ABOVE NORMAL FOR LATE APRIL. THE CAVEAT TO THIS IS THAT
ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS, WHICH THERE WILL BE AT TIMES, WILL
QUICKLY BUMP UP THE TEMPERATURES.

THE PATTERN UNSURPRISINGLY LOOKS MUCH THE SAME AS IT HAS ALL
WINTER/SPRING. A CLOSED LOW SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA SENDING
WEAKENING FRONTS/DISTURBANCES TOWARD THE MAINLAND. THE LONGWAVE
PATTERN SHIFTS OVER THE WEEKEND AS A PARTICULARLY POTENT
DISTURBANCE RIDES THE JET INTO THE GULF. RAPID CYCLOGENESIS WILL
ENSUE AND ACT TO SHIFT THE WHOLE LONGWAVE TOWARD THE EAST INTO THE
GULF. AT THIS TIME MODELS SUGGEST THIS WILL BE IN THE EASTERN GULF
BUT CONFIDENCE IS PRETTY HIGH THAT IT WILL BE A GULF SYSTEM. IT
LOOKS TO BE FAR ENOUGH TO THE SOUTH/EAST TO GIVE THE MAINLAND SOME
DECENT SPRING DAYS.
