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 Jun 8, 4:39 PM AKDT, 11 hours 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 4:39 PM AKDT, 11 hours 10 minutes before

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
439 PM AKDT WED JUN 8 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

There is an upper level ridge over southern Alaska which is an
extension of a ridge centered south of the eastern Alaska
Peninsula. An arm of this ridge extends westward across the
northern Bering Sea. There is a large upper low over the western
Aleutians. A front associated with this low extends from west of
the Pribilofs through the eastern Aleutians into the northern
Pacific. A triple point low is developing along the southern end
of this front about 200-300 miles south of Dutch Harbor. There is
another upper low over northern Alaska, with a weak west-to-east
oriented cold front stretching from the Yukon Delta through
Fairbanks and Eagle. Some moisture from this front is pushing
through the Alaska Range.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

The numerical models are in good agreement today through the short
term (Friday afternoon). There is still some spread in the
handling of the triple point low that moves into the Bering
tonight, but agreement is much better than it has been. Therefore
forecast confidence is a bit higher than normal.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

A broad ridge across much of southern mainland Alaska continues
to bring mostly clear skies to much of Southcentral today. While
a few clouds are forming along the Talkeetna...Chugach and Alaska
Ranges, the upper level ridge is suppressing the majority of
convection and limiting any shower activity. Even warmer
temperatures are expected across the Southcentral mainland
Thursday as the ridge pushes eastward, but still encompasses much
of the region. This diurnal heating will likely support the
development of a more robust thermal trough in the Copper River
Basin Thursday. As high pressure is expected to build in the Gulf
of Alaska, the pressure gradient between these two features will
result in gusty winds in local gaps, and more robust sea breezes
Thursday. A front will approach Southcentral by Friday evening and
usher in a more wet weather pattern.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Due to the combination of gusty winds, warm temperatures and low
relative humidities, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for
Thursday afternoon and evening for the Copper River Basin. The
development of a thermal trough will be sufficient to support
gusty winds through local gaps Thursday. Downslope winds will also
likely maintain warm temperatures well into the evening hours,
along with gusty winds.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

Tranquil conditions can be expected tonight with only a weak
disturbance producing scattered showers along the higher terrain
of the Kilbuck Range and Kuskokwim Mountains that will move
northeast through the Kuskokwim Valley overnight. Fog and low
stratus will be a concern through the early morning Thursday as
onshore or weak winds push inland, especially along the Kuskokwim
Delta.

The next concern is the Bering Sea front which will move inland
over Southwest Alaska Thursday and then remain through Friday.
Besides clouds and areas of rain bringing cooler temperatures,
winds will increase especially through east-west gaps through the
mountains.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...

The upper level low pressure over the Western Bering Sea continues
to weaken where scattered showers are mostly what is left around
precipitation-wise. However, a triple point low will form along
the front near the Eastern Aleutians bringing moderate rainfall to
Unalaska, the Pribilofs, and the Alaska Peninsula beginning late
this evening before spreading eastward overnight. The front
weakens and moves ashore the mainland on Thursday leaving much of
the area in showers or areas of rain along the front in the
Central Bering through Friday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...

Models are lining up well for day 3, and for continuity with the
short term the GFS was used. This solution shows a consolidated
triple point low in the Bering with high pressure building in the
Gulf. This will bring showers and rain to the Bering and
Aleutians, with rain along the Gulf coast and showers over the
mountains of the mainland.

The rest of the extended is once again handled well with the EC
and related ensembles. The Bering low will spin off another triple
point low that moves into the Gulf on Sun and then departs to the
southeast late Mon. As energy is transferred east from the Bering
low, high pressure builds over the Bering through the end of next
week. The next low from the North Pacific will then affect the
western Aleutians by midweek.

Coastal rain and mainland showers will persist through the
forecast, except over the southwest which will begin to warm and
dry Mon. Showers and rain will affect the western Aleutians later
in the week.
