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 16, 5:21 AM AKDT, 10 hours 8 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 16, 5:21 AM AKDT, 10 hours 8 minutes before

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
521 AM AKDT TUE AUG 16 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A weak broad upper level low across the northern Gulf continues
to weaken. To the west a more pronounced shortwave is moving south
across the Bering Sea as evident from IR satellite. A stacked low
sits just south of the Alaska Peninsula with showers affecting the
eastern Aleutians and southern peninsula region. At the surface, a
trough remains in the northern Gulf this morning with scattered
showers affecting Prince William Sound and coastal communities.
Across southwest mainland, a weak shortwave is rotating through,
bringing some showers to mainly the Kuskokwim Delta region.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The major atmospheric models are in good agreement that the slow-
moving and vertically-stacked low spinning south of the Alaska
Peninsula this morning will continue to slowly churn northeastward
toward Southcentral Alaska through this weekend. Once a warm front
pushes through the Cook Inlet area on Wednesday night the southern
mainland will fall back into a wet pattern vulnerable to embedded
shortwaves moving through the southerly/southwesterly flow. The
NAM is trying to develop one such shortwave much stronger than the
other models along the north Gulf coast Thursday...which it then
translates into a gale-force low at the surface. This seems
unrealistic at this point in time, given similar synoptic/dynamic
patterns as the other models which are not overly developing this
feature. Thus the NAM was largely excluded from forecast
generation this morning.

&&

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

The upper level low centered just south of Prince William Sound
continues to diminish in intensity as it pushes northward.
Currently the low is supporting steady showers along the north
gulf coast due to onshore upslope flow. However, across the rest
of Southcentral, relatively dry conditions are occurring in light
offshore flow. Although the low pressure system is diminishing in
intensity as it pushes inland, it is associated with sufficient
cold air aloft that afternoon convection is expected to form
across the Susitna Valley, western Copper River Basin, and Kenai
Peninsula with a few lightning strikes possible today. A warm
front will approach the Kenai peninsula by Wednesday morning, and
the Anchorage Bowl by afternoon. Perpendicular flow should be
enough to support some downsloping across the Anchorage bowl, but
will not be intense enough to prevent rainfall across much of
Southcentral.

&&

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

The decaying upper low will keep unstable air over the area
through Wed, with showers and some isolated afternoon and evening
thunderstorms. A front approaching the Akpen will bring gale
force winds to marine areas south of the Akpen tonight. On Thu
remnants of the front will bring another round of precipitation to
the Southwest.

&&

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

As the low approaches Cold Bay it will spread rain across the
eastern Aleutians that will slowly diminish through Thu. In the
meantime, an upper low moving south will bring showers to the
central Aleutians this afternoon and tonight. A weak front will
bring rain to the western Aleutians through Thu.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The pattern moving from mid week through the end of the week is
characterized by dominant ridging over the western Bering with
weaker ridging over the eastern Gulf and a low stuck between them
near the Alaska Peninsula. This low will bring southerly flow and
rain to the southern mainland through the end of the week before
it finally pushes off to the east as the ridging over the eastern
Gulf slides to the east as well. A strong trough will then swing
down over the western part of the state from the north late in the
weekend but there is disagreement amongst the models on how to
handle this feature. However, there is decent agreement that the
trough will come sometime around the late weekend and somewhere
near the west coast meaning that impacts will likely be rain for
the southern mainland early next week.
