What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale warning 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 gale warning went out at Sep 30, 4:56 AM AKDT, 10 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 30, 4:56 AM AKDT, 10 hours 23 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
456 AM AKDT Sat Sep 30 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The pattern shift is underway this morning. The last vestiges of
the trough that pushed through from the Interior on Friday has all
but cleared the area riding on 110 kt upper-level jet. As we are
in the "transition period," the ridge/high pressure is starting to
build in, but the offshore flow has yet to really get going yet.
The end result is some patchy fog or low stratus in places from
Wasilla down to Kenai and over to Cordova. This lingering moisture
will have little chance to last this morning though as the
offshore gradient continues to increase and ushers in drier air.
The other weather maker across the state this morning is a gale-
force front moving into the Western Aleutians. Winds have already
gusted to 40 kts way out at Shemya. The system is also packing
enough instability (aided by a 170 kt jet) for some isolated
lightning strikes overnight.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models have come into somewhat better agreement with the pattern
for the weekend and early next week. They all concur on the
general idea of a storm-force front moving towards southern AK as
a North Pacific low tracks towards Kodiak and the Alaska
Peninsula late Sun into Mon. The NAM went from being on the slower
end of solutions Fri morning to now being on the faster end.
Thus, the GFS was relied upon a bit more for timing. As the
surface low attempts to traverse the Alaska Peninsula, some
disagreement starts to develop on exactly where the center will
go, but the general idea of wet and windy will still hold. Models
are also now keying on another intensifying low paralleling the
Aleutian Chain Sun into Mon. For now, this system looks to stay
far enough south to have little impact on the forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
An upper level high over southwest Alaska will slowly slide
southeast, and into the Gulf tonight. Skies will be clearing today
across Southcentral and dry conditions are expected through the
weekend for much of the mainland. A strong low pressure system
will push northward from the north Pacific on Sunday. The leading
front with this system will reach Kodiak Island Sunday afternoon,
with widespread gale force winds spreading northward through
Monday afternoon, and even some small areas of storm force winds.
An SPS has been issued for Kodiak Island to address this.
Precipitation with this front will reach the Kenai peninsula late
Sunday afternoon, and push inland Sunday night and Monday. Strong
winds will impact the marine areas, as well as Turnagain Arm and
the surrounding higher elevations. Conditions will also get quite
breezy on Monday through the Knik valley and the Copper River
valley.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
An area of high pressure will continue to build east into
Southwest Alaska today bringing mostly sunny skies and above
average daytime temperatures. The ridge axis moves over the area
tonight leading to calm winds, clear skies, and quickly falling
temperatures, with most inland locations seeing below freezing
temperatures on Sunday morning. The pattern will quickly shift as
a stout low pressure system rapidly moves in from the south
bringing increased clouds, moisture, and winds to the area by
Sunday afternoon. Rain will spread from south to north across the
AKPEN and into SW Alaska through Sunday night. A low level jet
out ahead of the system will move through Sunday and Sunday night
bringing strong winds to the AKPEN with gusts upwards of 60 mph
through channeled terrain and gaps, including the Kamishak Gap and
down across Lake Iliamna.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
Ridging over the Central Bering will quickly be replaced today by
a front currently moving east across the Western Bering and
Aleutians. This will bring gale force winds and a line of heavy
rain. The front will weaken through the day today as it moves east
into the Central Bering. It will then stall out just west of the
Pribilofs on Sunday as it runs into the strong low pressure system
moving up from the south over SW AK.

&&

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

The long range forecast period is going to be in the transitory
stages between troughs and ridges to that of zonal flow. By Sunday
evening there will be three individual storm systems that will
impact the domain. The first is an area of low pressure which will
have already moved onshore across Southwest AK, bringing a front
and rainfall to the Southcentral coast. There may be some chances
for light rain across the Anchorage area but downsloping should
reign supreme. The second of storm systems will be south of Adak
and travel towards the Pacific Northwest Coast of CONUS and
shouldn't be any threat. The last system will be from an upper
level disturbance that is dropping out of the Kamchatka region.
This low will weaken but send a weather front towards Western
Alaska by mid week. It is at that time that the upper levels
flatten out and much of the region will be in a weak flow, but wet
pattern.
