What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this brisk wind 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 brisk wind advisory went out at Jan 29, 3:45 AM AKST, 11 hours 57 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 29, 3:45 AM AKST, 11 hours 57 minutes before

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
345 AM AKST Mon Jan 29 2018

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The major players in the flow pattern aloft are the same: a
decaying upper low in the Gulf/northeast Pacific, and a closed
high pressure over the Bering Strait region. The major difference
today is a developing low pressure system in the northwest
Pacific. The combination of the high to the north of the low is
referred to as a rex block. It acts to block the flow and stagnate
the pattern from progressing. The flow aloft is northerly over
most of the mainland.

At the surface, high pressure stretches from the northern Bering
Sea region with low pressure over the northeast Pacific. The
result is a strong gradient across southern Alaska and winds
blasting through favored gaps, namely the Matanuska Valley and
Thompson Pass/Valdez. Strong winds from the Mat Valley have broken
through the surface based inversion over the area, resulting in
not only gusty winds, but temperatures jumping from the single
digits into the mid-twenties in short order.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
No major discrepancies in the short term with the large scale
pattern evolution. There are slight differences in low position in
the Gulf as a piece of upper energy cuts off from the flow, but it
shouldn't affect the forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Northerly winds will continue to be the focus for the TAF
today. Now that the winds have broke through the inversion, wind
shear should be less of an issue, but as surface winds slowly
subside today some wind shear will remain possible.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The upper high over the Bering Sea will slowly retrograde over the
next couple of days. Fairly windy conditions will continue over
much of Southcentral, slowly weakening as the strong flow aloft
follows the ridge westward. The air mass will remain quite dry,
and no precipitation is expected over the mainland through Tuesday
night. Some snow showers are possible over Kodiak Island beginning
Tuesday afternoon as an upper low develops over the western Gulf.
The surface inversions have broken in the windy areas, and
temperatures have warmed considerably in those areas as a result.
Much of the Copper River Basin is protected from the winds and
will remain quite cold.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)...
(Today through Wednesday)

The forecast remains on track as no significant changes are
expected given the stagnant pattern. A shortwave will cross the
region today as it drops southwest along the eastern periphery of
an area of high pressure over the central Bering. Some localized
gusty winds will probably develop in a few spots where the
inversion breaks, allowing winds to gust near 40 mph. Otherwise,
expect dry conditions to persist given the offshore flow pattern.
Although cold temperatures will persist, wind speeds will remain
light enough to preclude any headline concerns.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3)...
(Today through Wednesday)

With the ridge of high pressure continuing to dominate much of the
region, the only real item of interest will be strong gap winds
as a shortwave drops southwest across the region today. Winds
aloft are fairly impressive From the Bristol Bay region through
the peninsula, with 850 mb winds of 55 to 65 knots seen in model
forecasts. However, area soundings show a strong inversion
persisting. Thus, most of this energy won't be realized. The
exception to this being along and south of the mountains along the
chain/AKpen, where orographic lifting will weaken the inversion
along the higher elevations, with downward momentum transfer being
maximized south of these locations where increased gravitational
friction will give a boost to the wind gust potential.

As the shortwave moves away from the region tonight, winds will
subside. With no change in the synoptic pattern seen for several
days, dry conditions will prevail aside from a few hit and miss
flurries.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Wednesday through Sunday)...

By the middle of the coming week cold air continuing to a dump off
the Alaskan landmass will help fuel a small-scale low pressure
system in the western Gulf. While this will not impact the weather
across a large area, it does have the potential to bring some
heavy snow and wind to parts of Kodiak Island and/or the southern
tip of the Kenai Peninsula. The exact position of the low will be
of primary importance, so except that additional details will be
filled into the forecast as we get closer to the event.

Otherwise, cold air and high pressure will remain the name of the
game across most of the forecast domain. The models have all been
trying to bring some kind of warm front northward through the
Gulf next week and moderate the temperatures a bit. The GFS has
been most aggressive in bringing warm air back into southern
Alaska. However, given the strength and scope of the cold and
dense air remaining in place over the next several days, current
forecast thinking is that this warm air will have a very difficult
time pushing out the cold air (especially with the lack of upper
level southerly flow to support the cause). Thus, the forecast
today sticks to colder temperatures and generally a continuation
of sunny and mostly clear conditions across most of the state
through next weekend.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

The recent cold snap has caused the Kenai River freeze-up process
to kick into high gear. As ice fills the river, it can build up
and start to restrict the flow in the river channel. This has
caused water levels to rise considerably during the last week near
Soldotna. In the last few days temperatures have dropped and the
river has approached bankfull at some locations. While no flooding
has been reported and none is expected at this time, residents
along the river should still exercise caution. Bring portable
docks and other movable objects away from the riverbank in case of
additional water level increases. This type of freeze-up is a
normal process that occurs on many rivers in the state and is not
one to be concerned about unless significant flooding were to
occur.
