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 Jan 21, 5:48 AM AKST, 9 hours 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 21, 5:48 AM AKST, 9 hours 21 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
548 AM AKST THU JAN 21 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A LARGE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW IS LOCATED OVER THE FAR SOUTHERN
GULF OF ALASKA THIS MORNING...WITH AN ASSOCIATED GALE FORCE FRONT
MOVING OVER THE CENTRAL GULF AND BRINGING RAIN AND SNOW TO KODIAK
ISLAND. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...MORE TRANQUIL CONDITIONS PREVAIL
ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AK BENEATH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING EXTENDING OVER
THE MAINLAND FROM WESTERN CANADA. A FAVORABLE PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN THIS RIDGE AND THE GULF LOW IS SUPPORTING MODEST OUTFLOW
WINDS OVER PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. DRY OFFSHORE FLOW
IS RESULTING IN MAINLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND.
A WEAK AREA OF DEFORMATION OVER THE EASTERN BERING IS SUPPORTING
PERSISTENT LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS...WHILE A STRONG
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEP NORTH PACIFIC LOW WELL SOUTHWEST OF
ATTU IS POISED TO BRING STRONG WINDS AND A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW TO
THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK
AS THE CURRENT GULF LOW MOVES NORTHWARD AND GRADUALLY WEAKENS
THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. THIS IS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER NORTH PACIFIC
LOW DEVELOPING SOUTH OF THE AKPEN AND MOVING TOWARDS KODIAK ISLAND
LATE SATURDAY AS A SOUTHERLY FLOW REGIME IS ESTABLISHED OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL AK. MAINLY UTILIZED REGIONAL GEM FOR ITS HIGHER
RESOLUTION IN THE EARLY PART OF THE FORECAST AND THEN TRANSITIONED
TO A BLEND OF GFS AND EC GUIDANCE TOWARDS THE WEEKEND TO ACCOUNT
FOR MINOR DIFFERENCES WITH THE HANDLING OF THE NEXT LOW
APPROACHING THE WESTERN GULF.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2...THU AND
FRI)...
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS PUSHING NORTH THROUGH THE
GULF THIS MORNING. THIS IS SWINGING A VERY ELONGATED WARM
OCCLUSION ALL THE WAY FROM THE PANHANDLE INTO KODIAK ISLAND.
KODIAK IS SEEING A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW THIS MORNING...BUT WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 30S...THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY
ACCUMULATION. IT LOOKS LIKE THE COLD AIR REMAINS JUST OFF TO THEIR
NORTHWEST AS MODERATE PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE QUITE STRONG
THERE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS WELL.

OVER THE MAINLAND...SHORTWAVE RIDGING IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANOTHER
MOSTLY CLEAR AND COLD NIGHT. THIS HAS ALLOWED YET ANOTHER UPTICK
IN WINDS THROUGH THE FAVORED OUTFLOW AREAS...SUCH AS THOMPSON PASS
AND WHITTIER. THESE WINDS SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY.
OTHER THAN SOME HIGH CIRRUS...MUCH OF INTERIOR SOUTH CENTRAL WILL
SEE A RATHER PLEASANT DAY. COASTAL AREAS WILL SEE PRECIPITATION
START LATER TODAY AS THE FRONT SWINGS FROM SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST.
WHILE SOME COLDER SPOTS MAY START AS SNOW...ALL WILL TURN TO RAIN
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BY FRI...THE GULF LOW DRAWS SLIGHTLY
CLOSER TO THE COAST AND KEEPS THE RAIN FALLING THERE. THIS SHOULD
PUSH SOME MORE CLOUDS AND WARM AIR OVER THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS CAUSING
THE OUTFLOW WINDS TO FURTHER SUBSIDE AS THE THERMAL GRADIENT
RELAXES. PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD INTO THE PORTAGE VALLEY AND
VALDEZ ON FRI. THERE IS AN OUTSIDE CHANCE THAT WE COULD SEE A FEW
POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN AS WE DID WED FOR INLAND LOCATIONS WHERE
SOME COLDER AIR GETS TRAPPED NEAR THE SURFACE. BUT IF ANYTHING DID
DEVELOP...IT WOULD BE VERY SHORT-LIVED WITH NEARLY NO
ACCUMULATION. THE LOW BECOMES VERTICALLY STACKED AND WEAKENS
QUICKLY AS IT TRACKS INLAND EARLY SAT. SOME LEFTOVER FRAGMENTS OF
ENERGY COULD BRING A FEW SNOW SHOWERS INLAND...BUT EVEN THAT LOOKS
UNLIKELY WITH ABUNDANT DRY LOW-LEVEL AIR IN PLACE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
COOL DRY OFFSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHWEST
ALASKA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WEAK TROUGHS BRUSHING PAST THE
AREA FROM THE EAST WILL BRING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS TO
AREAS ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RANGE AT TIMES BUT OTHERWISE QUIET
WEATHER WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL LIFT NORTH OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS TODAY AS ITS VERTICALLY STACKED PARENT LOW CONTINUES TO
TRACK EAST ALONG 45N. WITH THE FRONT STARTING TO SHEAR AWAY FROM
THE MATURE SURFACE LOW EXPECTING WINDS TO INCREASE TO GALES AS THE
FRONT APPROACHES BUT DIMINISH AGAIN FAIRLY QUICKLY AS THE FRONT
LIFTS NORTH INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING. THE REMNANTS OF THE SURFACE
LOW AND BROADER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SLOW ITS PROGRESS EAST TO
SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS FRIDAY NIGHT WITH A SECONDARY
DEEPENING LOW AND FRONTAL SYSTEM LIFTING FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC
UP TOWARDS THE WATERS SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...

THE NEXT NORTH PACIFIC FRONT DEVELOPS AND MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN
GULF EARLY SATURDAY. THE BOUNDARY PUSHES TO THE NORTHERN COAST BY
LATE AFTERNOON AND THEN DIMINISHES. GALE WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AS MAINLAND RIDGING REMAINS DOMINANT. TO THE
WEST...A SURFACE LOW SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TRACKS SLOWLY
EAST KEEPING A RAIN AND SNOW MIX ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BERING AND
ALEUTIAN CHAIN FOR THE WEEKEND WITH NORTHERLY FLOW CONTINUING TO
ADVECT COLDER AIR.

MODELS SUGGEST ONE OR TWO STRENGTHENING TRIPLE POINT LOWS
MAY DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC AND MOVE NORTH TOWARD
SOUTHERN ALASKA AND/OR THE SOUTHEAST BERING SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS THE SOUTHERLY JET STREAM RE-ESTABLISHES ITSELF OVER
THE STATE. THIS WILL BEAR WATCHING FOR THE POTENTIAL OF WARMING
TEMPERATURES AND POTENTIALLY SOME GUSTY WINDS FOR PARTS OF THE
SOUTHERN ALASKA. THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN
BUT LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING AND EXACT PLACEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL
FEATURES.
