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 21, 4:57 AM AKDT, 10 hours 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 4:57 AM AKDT, 10 hours 50 minutes before

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
457 AM AKDT TUE JUN 21 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

Upper level lows are just south of the western Aleutians and the
central Gulf of Ak this morning, with a large ridge over the
Bering, and a weaker one over the northern Gulf. A trough along
the North Slope is preparing to dive southeast, and a jet maximum
is over the central Aleutians heading into the Bering. At the
surface, a large low is centered south of Amchitka, and a smaller
low is over the northeast Gulf and panhandle. A ridge is over the
eastern Bering and southwest Alaska. A front associated with the
jet is moving into the Bering after triggering some evening
thunderstorms just south of the chain.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Models are in close agreement through Thu, and in the search for
detail, the Nam was preferred in the east, and a Gem/EC blend in
the west. This solution continues bringing the low and fronts into
the Bering today. The jet and vorticity maxes, along with upper
level instability and concentrated upward omega, lend credence to
a round of thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of the front
today. The low/fronts will then continue into southwest Ak later
Wed through Thu. This will assist in rebuilding the thermal
trough along the Alaska and Aleutian ranges by that time.
Meanwhile the North Slope trough will slide south and interact
with the rebuilding thermal trough on Thu for possible
thunderstorm activity.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska, and ridging in the
interior are supporting an offshore pressure gradient. As a
result, generally offshore winds are occurring along the gulf
coast this morning with general winds from the west. This
offshore flow will limit the strength of sea breezes across the
region today, which will generally result in relatively warm
temperatures along the coast. A very weak upper level wave will
push across Southcentral this evening. Models indicate relatively
weak CAPE, LI and other convective parameters, and as a result,
only a few strikes of lightning are currently anticipated along
the Talkeetna mountains and Alaska range this evening.

On Wednesday, the upper level ridge and surface ridge push
eastward while the low slips to the southeast. As a result, the
pressure gradient will relax by wednesday morning, and stronger
sea breezes are anticipated.

&&

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

Northwest flow aloft and weak northerly winds will dry the region
out today and most of Wednesday before a slow moving front moves
into the region from the Eastern Bering Sea. Beforehand, weak
onshore flow this morning across coastal locations is bringing in
areas of fog and low stratus, but this should mostly dissipate
under the strong summer sun. On Wednesday morning, the weakening
front will move into the Kuskokwim Delta then make slow progress
inland by Wednesday night, bringing rain/showers.

&&

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

An impressive warm front/low is developing across the western and
central Aleutians this morning, with regions of elevated
thunderstorms forming along the warm front. This front will
elongate and quickly move into the northern and central Bering Sea
with increasing southerly winds across the central and eastern
Aleutians tonight into Wednesday. As the front moves east, it will
quickly weaken and fall apart as it approaches the southwest
coastline, with associated precipitation becoming less organized
and showery. In the wake of the low, expect the typical summer
season fog and stratus.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The long range pattern is progressive through the beginning of
next week as both the polar and subtropical jet streams usher low
pressure systems across the Bering to the Gulf of Alaska. The
first system at the start of the mid range forecast originates
from the subtropical jet pushing a developing low into the Central
Bering from the North Pacific. This will bring rain across the
eastern half of the Bering and the southwest mainland on Thursday.
A tighter zonal flow regime in the wake of this system will bring
a gustier pattern along the Bering and Aleutians. Late Thursday, rain
activity shifts inland spreading across the southern mainland
through the weekend. Lingering showers are expected to continue
into Monday as shortwaves move around the low which moves into
the gulf, along with energy diving south from yet another low
tracking across the northern coast.

A ridge amplifies across the Bering during the upcoming weekend with
a stable air mass trapping low clouds and fog as it tracks to the
eastern Bering. The next front approaches the western Aleutians
late weekend.
