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 Nov 14, 5:32 AM AKST, 10 hours 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 14, 5:32 AM AKST, 10 hours 22 minutes before

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
532 AM AKST Mon Nov 14 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The very large and persistent upper level low has shifted slightly
further east to extend from south of the Alaska Peninsula into
the Southwestern Gulf. Three low pressure centers are evident
within upper low with numerous fronts and troughs continuing to
pinwheel around it. The strongest portion of this complex weather
system remains the occluded front which stretches from the eastern
Bering across the Alaska Peninsula and continue to bring very
strong northerly winds...particularly through channeled terrain.
The frontal system inland extends from Southwest Alaska east-
northeast over the Alaska Range. Another trough along the northern
Gulf Coast is bringing showers to that area while a surface low
that rotated past Kodiak Island drops south. The next frontal
system which is spinning up is presently in the central Gulf and
is lifting quickly north.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models remain in good synoptic agreement regarding the larger
scale features, however smaller scale differences in the various
troughs spinning around the low remain impactful. The front and
following trough rotating through the northern Gulf and over the
Kenai Peninsula this afternoon and tonight are the biggest
challenges for todays forecast package. Models differ on how far
north the trough extends, how strong it is and how much moisture
overruns the Chugach Mountains and potentially spreads over
Southcentral Alaska.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...East to southeast winds across the Chugach Mountains and
through Turnagain Arm are in the process of lightening this
morning. VFR conditions will prevail today with isolated showers
remaining along the mountains. Forecast uncertainty increases this
evening as a front rotates across the area bringing the potential
for rain and/or snow. The first chance will be in the late
afternoon or early evening and would likely be rather light with
a second possibly heavier band around 09Z.

&&

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

A large low centered south of Kodiak Island remains the forecast
challenge for Southcentral this morning. A weak baroclinic zone
draped along the north Gulf coast is helping to support a low
level jet and gale force gusts. Gusts are expected to enhance
temporarily this morning as a wave pushes towards the east.
However, the low level jet will be reinforced tonight as a second
wave pushes through, and also brings the chance for precipitation
to Southcentral overnight. While cold air will begin to seep in
from the west tonight, currently it is not expected to push
through until after the precipitation has finished. In addition,
models indicate an orientation of the low level jet which is more
favorable for cross barrier flow and downsloping across Anchorage. Due
to the combination of expected downsloping and advection of a
warmer airmass from the gulf, precipitation type is expected to
remain mostly rain overnight. However, there is some uncertainty
in how much cold air may drain out of the Susitna valley. However,
a few quick inches of slushy snow cannot be ruled out for the
Anchorage Hillside tonight. Meanwhile, greater snow accumulations
are expected towards Thompson Pass where several inches of heavy
wet snow are expected by this afternoon.

&&

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

The low near Kodiak slowly moves in the direction of the
central and then southeastern Gulf through Tue. During this period
high pressure over the Bering will build and move east. The
pressure gradient between these features will maintain a band of
strong northerly winds across the eastern Bering and Alaska
Peninsula, diminishing on Tue as the strong gradient moves east.
Some rain and snow showers will persist over Southwest AK as well
as the Alaska Peninsula through early Tuesday. Meanwhile, the next
system moving across the western and northern Bering will push
light snow to the Kuskokwim Delta coast Tuesday into Tuesday
night.

&&

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

High pressure builds into the central and eastern Bering through
Tue. This will push the band of strong northerly winds
from the eastern Aleutians into the Alaska Peninsula through Tue.
Some rain and snow showers will accompany this movement.

Immediately on its heels, a low pressure system will push snow
and rain north and east across the western and central Bering Sea
through at least mid-week, with mainly rain over the Central
Aleutians.

&&

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

A relatively quiet pattern is in store for Southcentral and
Southwest Alaska through much of the extended forecast. An area of
low pressure in the southern Gulf of Alaska on Tuesday will fall
apart as it drifts eastward toward the Alaska Panhandle. As this
happens, rain/snow chances will drastically diminish across the
gulf coast and some breaks in cloud cover are expected through
much of next week. High pressure will build over the mainland in a
two-pronged attack fashion with both high pressure building
across the western Gulf of Alaska and Canada. The upper level
pattern will shift and allow colder air from the arctic to funnel
in across Southwest and Southcentral Alaska. This will lead to the
end of above normal temperatures as continued cold air advection
likely drops temperature close to or slightly below normal across
much of the state. Unfortunately for snow enthusiasts, a lot of
dry air is expected with the colder air so snow looks like an
extreme long shot in the next seven to ten days.

The Bering Sea on the other hand will be quite active over the
long term forecast period as a series of lows move off the
Kamchatka Peninsula. Models are in good agreement with the first
low hanging off the coast of Kamchatka on Wednesday with a potent
gale force to storm force front moving across the western half of
the Bering Sea. Needless to say, copious amounts of rainfall are
expected with the frontal boundary as it shifts eastward before
stalling over the central Bering Sea as it clashes with the high
pressure mentioned earlier. The strongest low will move from the
North Pacific into the Bering Sea next weekend which has the
potential to produce gale to storm force winds but models are in
poor agreement with this feature at this time.
