What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this storm 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 storm warning went out at Oct 28, 4:28 AM AKDT, 10 hours 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 28, 4:28 AM AKDT, 10 hours 29 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 428 AM AKDT Sat Oct 28 2017 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... High pressure now dominates the Gulf with the ridging extending over Southcentral Alaska. Out west a trough extends down from the Bering Strait through the western Being. A weak low is riding up the eastern side of the trough with its front extending across the Kuskokwim Delta and eastern Bering. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... The models are in good agreement through the mid term with the exception of the GEM's handling of the low moving into the Bering on Sunday. The biggest difference between it and the other models is that it has the low tracking faster from when the low approaches the Aleutians through when it makes it over southwest Alaska. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist. Patchy fog should form along Knik Arm but does not look to move over the airport. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... A "dirty" upper level ridge is building over Southcentral this morning as high and mid level clouds stream in from the southwest. Rather quiet weather will persist through tonight with the exception of some localized upslope enhanced rain/snow along the Alaska Range and toward the Parks Highway north of Talkeetna. A low-amplitude shortwave trough moving in southwest flow aloft will quickly lift toward the Gulf Coast Saturday night and Sunday morning, bringing rain to Kodiak Island before the rain overspreads most of Southcentral (with the exception being the interior of the Copper Basin) with a brief shot (3-6 hours) of light rain. There will be a low level cross-barrier flow component, but this will only act in decreasing total rainfall amounts for inland locales, but will not be enough to completely dry out locations west of the Chugach/Talkeetna Mountains. Snow levels along the Chugach Mountains and Talkeetna Mountains may drop as low as 2000 feet, but no significant snow accumulations are anticipated. The first system clears through Sunday evening before another warm front right on the heels of the first moves in Sunday night and Monday morning with more rain. This system will have more moisture associated with it so precipitation mounts are expected to be slightly higher. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... A progressive pattern is on tap for this forecast period. The radar at Bethel is still active this morning. The shortwave responsible for this activity will continue to push inland today with the activity creeping to the north as time elapses. With the ridge axis to the east and a low to the west, widespread southwest flow is anticipated over the area. The latest PWATs from satellite imagery depict a deep fetch of moisture that spans from Bethel into the North Pacific. A series of lows from the Bering and North Pacific will push northward into the region bringing more precipitation and warm air advection. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... The synoptic pattern features a frontal boundary bisecting the the Central Aleutians. On the 1000-850 mb thickness, there is a thermal ridge associated with the occluded front moving into the southwest and spans from the eastern Bering to the central Aleutians. A second system will enter the domain from the North Pacific Saturday, bringing more rain to the area and gusty winds to much of the Aleutian Chain and Southern Bering this weekend. A tight concentric pressure gradient will develop Sunday night resulting in gales in multiple zones and rough seas. The strong winds will materialize both north and south of the Aleutian chain. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The warmer pattern will continue through the weekend as broad southwest flow remains focused over the southern mainland between the Bering Sea trough and a stout northeast Pacific ridge. Friday night into Saturday will also bring a break in precipitation for Southcentral Alaska as high pressure briefly builds into the central Gulf behind the departing system. Widespread rain will then return to the area on Sunday as the next North Pacific low moves into the eastern Bering accompanied by a front over the Gulf. This will provide a reinforcing shot of warm air, with the heaviest rain focused along the north Gulf coast through Monday morning before that system also departs to the north. There is lower confidence in how the pattern unfolds going into the middle of the week as models continue to struggle with the evolution of high pressure building into the Bering and western Alaska behind the departing trough. The GFS/GEM both eventually develop a closed high that drifts well to the north into the Chukchi Sea. This would allow another trough to undercut the ridge and move back into southern Alaska, keeping a chance of rain in the forecast through the middle of the week. Meanwhile, European guidance depicts a much more coherent blocking ridge over the western mainland, which would keep most of the area dry through much of the week in a weak offshore flow regime. Given the uncertainty, the current forecast attempts to split the difference in keeping a chance of rain over the southern mainland into the middle of next week while gradually trending temperatures down closer to seasonal normal values. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
