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 May 20, 4:08 AM AKDT, 11 hours 21 minutes earlier.

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
408 AM AKDT Sat May 20 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Water vapor satellite imagery tells another familiar story this
morning. There is a weakening upper low near Kodiak Island with
onshore flow across the North Gulf Coast. This onshore flow is
helping to accelerate the typical southeast wind up Turnagain Arm
with some of those winds still clipping far southwest Anchorage.
Relatively weak upper forcing is keeping most precipitation
relegated to the coast, although there is once again enough
elevated instability for rogue showers to form in the lee of the
Talkeetna Mountains, and to a lesser degree, the Chugach
Mountains. Out across Southwest Alaska, there is mostly dry
weather although there remains some lingering convective showers
across parts of the Kuskokwim Delta. Over the Bering, typical
generally quiescent weather continues as high pressure dominates.

The greater area of interest if farther south where an upper low
is carving out into a broad trough along a dynamic North Pacific
jet stream. This low, near 45N, is supporting a warm front which
is lifting northwards toward the Southern Gulf of Alaska. This
will become the predominant sensible weather "maker" for the next
few days.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The dynamic numerical weather models are all in great agreement
with the large scale synoptic pattern heading into the middle of
next week as a stronger Northeast Pacific ridge axis aloft
establishes itself. However, they are slightly less agreement with
the warm front, and associated strengthening low moving into the
Gulf of Alaska Sunday and Sunday night. The NAM is a notable
outlier with the general precipitation distribution as it favors
a farther east track.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Conditions should remain VFR through the TAF forecast. Once
again, the main challenge will be the timing of the onset of
southeast winds off Turnagain Arm. Expect winds to diminish early
this morning then quickly ramp up again by midday before weakening
again early evening. The southeast winds will be slightly weaker
than they were yesterday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
More of the same is in store for southern Alaska. Another day of
clouds and showers today as a shortwave trough moves overhead this
morning. The trough is weakening pretty quickly as it moves
inland so precipitation chances will be decreasing through the
day. However, lingering cold air aloft and potential afternoon
clearing, as well as a reduction in Turnagain Arm winds could
lead to some afternoon showers rolling off of the mountains.

Late tonight a little bit of a pattern change is coming as a low
pressure system develops on a front in the eastern Gulf of Alaska.
The low will spread rain from east to west across the north Gulf
coast tonight. By Sunday morning, rain will spread over the
Chugach as the front is captured by the upper low currently
overhead. The system will bring more of a steady rain than the
showery pattern currently overhead. That combination of phased
systems slowly works inland Sunday into Monday keeping clouds and
rain in the forecast. Expect slightly below normal temperatures
and generally light winds.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
With an upper level low sitting over the Aleutian Range, southwest
Alaska will continue to see the same pattern of afternoon and
evening showers as well as light winds. The pattern will shift
Sunday night as the low will have pushed off to the east during
the day, and a front will make landfall overnight. This will
bring a more consistent rain to the area through much of Monday as
well as stronger winds.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...
The most impactful weather producer for the Bering, and the
Aleutians is the front that is pushing through the Western
Aleutians associated with a Kamchatka low. The front will progress
east through early Monday before dissipating, making it to the
Central Aleutians this afternoon and the Eastern Aleutians early
on Sunday. Weak ridging follows behind the front with another
system from the north Pacific following soon after. This next
system will make it to the Central Aleutians Monday, and then to
the Pribilof Islands Monday night.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7/Sunday night through Friday)...
The big story through most of the next week is a continued active
pattern with generally strong progressive flow aloft. This looks
like it may change late next week (and into Memorial Day weekend)
with development of a blocking ridge, depending on exactly where
it sets up.

Starting with the forecast late this weekend, an upper level low
lifting northward across Southcentral Sunday followed closely by
the arrival and passage of a fairly potent long-wave trough from
the Bering Sea will lead to cool, and wet conditions across much
of Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Sunday night through Monday
night.

Meanwhile, a short-wave will dig out of Russia into the Northwest
Pacific, leading to amplification of the pattern and development
of a surface low. This low tracks across the Aleutians Monday
night then up the west coast of Alaska Tuesday through Wednesday.
With good dynamical forcing expect widespread rain, heavy in
areas, along the track of this low. Thus, over Southwest Alaska
expect very little break between the trough moving through Monday,
and the arrival of rain with this new system on Tuesday.

The eastward progression of the trough, and surface front will
stall as the downstream ridge continues to build. Thus, there is
some uncertainty in how far east rain will spread. Based on the
latest guidance it does appear rain will make it into the Western
Gulf, and Cook Inlet regions Tuesday night or Wednesday. With
deep southerly flow on the west side of the high amplitude ridge,
rain may linger through late week.

It looks like yet another well developed storm will track into
the Bering late next week. There are signs that the blocking ridge
may build westward by next weekend, and limit the eastward
progress of this system. Therefore, producing warmer and drier
weather over Southcentral and perhaps even Southwest Alaska, but
it's way too early to have any confidence in that solution.
