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 6, 4:57 AM AKST, 10 hours 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 6, 4:57 AM AKST, 10 hours 6 minutes before

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
457 AM AKST Fri Jan 6 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
An Omega Block pattern is taking shape across much of the Alaska
domain this morning. An impressive ridge continues to build over
the Bering with potent upper level jet support. A 120kt finger is
moving from south to north along its western periphery and then
spilling back down its eastern side at 130 kts. This strong upper
level support is what we are keying on to help trigger some of the
strongest winds this morning. This upper level energy should help
to mix some of the stronger winds downward as it pushes through
the usual gaps, especially in steep terrain. Under the Bering
ridge is an impressive surface high with the pressure reported at
Hooper Bay to be 1054 mb overnight. Cold air is also starting to
move down from the Arctic over the eastern side of the high. 850mb
temperatures have dropped below -20C over the Copper River Basin.
This cold air will only serve to reinforce the offshore gradient
across much of South Central. Under the high itself, there is some
low stratus and fog lingering around the YK-Delta. And it is not
until you reach the Western Aleutians that you will find any
precipitation with some rain impacting Shemya.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The biggest difference in the models tonight is a trend slightly
later for the highest winds. Through the week, many of the models
were painting those winds occurring overnight Thu into early Fri
morning. But now some of the most recent runs around showing it
closer to noon-time on Fri. The high resolution models were used
in handling these winds. Otherwise, the NAM was preferred with the
precipitation over the Western Aleutians. Models remain in very
good agreement lending to high forecast confidence.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
High winds have not yet developed in the Valdez area, but still
expect them to rapidly strengthen during the morning hours. Model
cross sections show a descending tropopause on the east side of a
strengthening jet streak. Not only will stronger winds from aloft
lower toward the boundary layer, but conditions will become
extremely favorable for mountain wave activity. This will result
in much stronger and erratic wind gusts, whereas winds to this
point have been relatively steady. Lastly, low level flow is also
becoming more favorable as it shifts from northwest to north-
northeast.

For the rest of Southcentral the shift in low level flow to
northerly along with increased vertical mixing as the sun rises
will lead to an increase in winds for most locations. Winds won't
be nearly as strong as along the Gulf Coast and Prince William
Sound, but will be gusty in nature. Winds across inland areas
will quickly die down tonight into Saturday. Deep arctic air in
the Copper River Basin and persistent tight pressure gradients
will continue to produce gap winds through the weekend,
particularly for the Valdez area, the Copper River Delta, and
along the Matanuska River.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The blocking ridge is currently over the eastern part of the
Bering Sea which is keeping all precipitation out of southwest
mainland Alaska with some high clouds riding over the ridge and
into the area from the north. The pressure gradient has also
greatly increased over the area, especially the Bristol Bay
region, and that will help keep some gusty northerly winds in the
area with the strongest ones through channeled terrain. The
pressure gradient will decrease late in the afternoon and
overnight which will diminish the gusty winds. Fog does not look
like it will be very widespread at this time.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The blocking ridge over the eastern Bering Sea is keeping the
storm track over the western Bering Sea and western Aleutian
Islands for the next few days. There is also the usual patchy fog
and stratus under this ridge in the central Bering Sea but there
has been a considerable amount of clearing over the eastern bering
and Alaska Peninsula. One of the forecast questions for this area
is how far westward the clearing will move in the Bering Sea over
the next few days.

&&

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

Beginning the extended forecast period Saturday evening, a rather
impressive 2.5 standard deviation 500 hpa blocking high centered
over Southwest Alaska will be dominating the entire forecast
region. Besides weakening fronts over the Western and Central
Bering Sea, dominant high pressure over the mainland will keep dry
and clear weather in place through the middle of next week.
Temperatures aloft will be warming (in the mountains), but
temperatures in lower elevations will remain at or slightly below
normal as strong inversions will remain in place. Fog development
may become a local threat inland Sunday and beyond, but this ridge
pattern will not be as conducive to fog as recent patterns where
the mainland was along the western periphery of the ridge axis.
Both global deterministic and ensemble models are hinting at a
retrogression of the ridge and more northerly flow over southern
Alaska late midweek, bringing in arctic air into the region along
with more offshore flow.
