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 Aug 7, 4:45 AM AKDT, 10 hours 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 4:45 AM AKDT, 10 hours 44 minutes before

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
445 AM AKDT SUN AUG 7 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A broad longwave trough extending from the Russian arctic into
the Bering Sea remains anchored by a vertically stacked low
pressure system over Nunivak Island, keeping widespread rain
focused over much of the southern mainland this morning in deep
and moist onshore flow. At the surface, an associated front
tracking through the Gulf of Alaska is spreading steady moderate
rain over much of Southcentral Ak, with the heaviest precipitation
focused along the north gulf coast accompanied by gusty southeast
winds. Farther west, showery conditions are also present across
much of the Aleutian chain as various disturbances rotate around
the base of the trough.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models remain in good synoptic agreement through the early part of
the coming week as the deep Bering trough and embedded low slowly
shift eastward over the mainland through Tuesday. This lends a
high degree of confidence that the wet pattern will continue for
the next several days, with precipitation gradually becoming more
showery over time with the advance of the low.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The upper low near Nunivak Island will very slowly drift eastward
through Monday night, being centered near Anvik early Tuesday
morning. A frontal system associated with this low is over south
central Alaska this morning bringing considerable rainfall to the
area. The heaviest precipitation will be in the Prince William
Sound area as the deep moisture in the southerly flow aloft pushes
in. This system will push east of the area this evening as the
upper level vort-max moves onshore. An upper level trough will
move into south central on later Monday into Monday night
producing plenty of showers across the area.

&&

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

The wet pattern continues as low pressure in the vicinity of
Nunivak Island slowly moves inland over the next couple of days.
Modest instability will allow for showers with a slight chance of
a lightning strike or two across parts of the Kuskokwim Delta
region today given somewhat impressive dynamics with this
occluded low. A continued decrease in stability Monday may allow
for more widespread shower coverage with a larger coverage area
seeing the slight chance of a few lightning strikes, mainly inland
from the coast.

&&

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

The Bering region will slowly quiet down over the next day or so
as the low over the eastern Bering moves inland, leaving only low
stratus and patchy fog in its wake. Meanwhile, a disturbance
moving east across a stationary front draped west-east along the
Aleutian chain will bring rain from the Western and Central
Aleutians today, then just the Central Aleutians tonight before
the disturbance and surface front moves south of the islands. The
next weather system begins to move east from Kamchatka toward the
western Bering and Western Aleutians Monday night bringing rain
and an increase in south to southwesterly winds.

&&

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

Models are in good agreement that the upper level low over
western Ak will steadily weaken through Wed. Rain over
Southcentral will become more showery as a result which will
continue into next weekend. Ridging will move into southwest Ak by
Tue night that will also reduce some of the shower activity, but
a low moving rapidly out of Siberia will redevelop precipitation
over the southwest on Wed.

The next player will be the remnants of a tropical system, which will
enter the western Aleutians Wed evening and absorb the Siberian
low over the central Bering. This merger will enhance precipitation
as it moves across the Bering into southwest Ak Thu into Sat.

Winds associated with the tropical remnant will increase to gales
over the extreme western Aleutians on Thu, but the main impact
will be seas made higher by an extremely long fetch across the
north Pacific. However, there remains significant uncertainty
with both wind speeds as well as combined seas beginning late Wed
and lasting into the weekend. The forecast utilized the GFS and
WPC solutions, and keeps both wind and waves lower than guidance
for now.
