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 Feb 24, 4:25 PM AKST, 11 hours 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 4:25 PM AKST, 11 hours 35 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 425 PM AKST Sat Feb 24 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... The upper level short-wave and associated surface low which brought another round of light snow to most of Southcentral last night through this morning is exiting eastward across the Gulf. Cold air advection is leading to strengthening gap winds along the Gulf coast. Winds are particularly strong across the western Gulf/Kodiak Island thanks to steep low level lapse rates (7 to 8 degrees C/km on the 12Z Kodiak sounding), with stronger winds mixing down from aloft. This unstable airmass extends back westward into the eastern Bering Sea, Bristol Bay, and along the Alaska Peninsula, where gusty winds and snow showers prevail. Weak troughing persists across the rest of Southwest Alaska, with a few lingering showers. The next in a series of progressive storm systems is approaching the Aleutians. A leading warm front is leading to quickly warming low level temperatures, with rain overspreading the western and central Aleutians. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models remain in good agreement and forecast confidence is generally high over the next couple days. && .AVIATION... PANC...In the wake of today's snow, there may be some localized areas of fog or stratus (IFR conditions) in the vicinity of the terminal. However, with increasing low level flow this evening it does not look favorable for anything widespread or long-lived to develop. Thus, have trended toward VFR conditions this evening. The low level winds will weaken by Sunday morning, so will have to watch for fog formation if we begin to cool down under clear skies. For now, that is a low probability possibility and have stuck with VFR conditions through Sunday afternoon. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... A drying trend will continue overnight as leftover snow flurries and showers come to an end. This will be in response to increasing weak cold air advection and dry northwesterly offshore flow. A strong upper jet will also continue to support strong westerly offshore through southern Cook Inlet into Homer and Kodiak Island. Sunday will be dry and quiet with attention quickly turning to another low which will move into Cook Inlet from the west. This will bring another shot of snow to Southcentral Sunday night through Monday night. Currently, this snow event is looking to be a more typical distribution which will favor the west facing slopes of all the high mountain ranges. With rather high snow ratios and favorable dynamics, this snow event may reach close to advisory level snow amounts (although over a 24 hour period) for some locations from Anchorage north to the Matanuska Valley. Snow will quickly taper off Monday night, lingering longest near the mountains. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2: Sunday and Monday)... Quiet weather is returning to Southwest Alaska for another brief time between systems as weak high pressure moves over the area. With onshore flow over portions of Bristol Bay, especially from King Salmon south and through the Kuskokwim Delta, patchy dense fog is possible in some areas tonight. Then on Sunday, the next system moves into Southwest Alaska, as a portion occluded front to the north, and warm front to the south, with the parent low remaining over the Bering. This will bring yet another round of a few inches of snow to all of Southwest Alaska overnight Sunday night. For the upslope mountains, which will be the west sides of the Kuskokwim and Alaska Ranges, amounts closer to a foot are expected with this latest round of snow. Colder air moves in on increasingly strong west to northwest flow during the day Monday, resulting in an anti-diurnal temperature trend with the high temperatures for the day expected early in the morning, then falling throughout the day into Monday night. Because of the strong northwest flow, snow showers will continue in the mountains through much of the day, potentially continuing through much of Monday night, since the flow off the Bering is expected to be well-modified with moisture. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2: Sunday and Monday)... A strong area of low pressure is moving into the western Aleutians this afternoon. It is bringing another round of warm air east of the low's center. The most hazardous weather associated with the low will be after the center passes and the colder south and west side of the low moves into the area. Very strong winds on cold advection are expected tonight across the western and central Aleutians. Fortunately, the low itself is not expected to get very strong, only getting to about 980 mb at it's strongest point during the day Sunday. Thus, only occasional gusts to hurricane force are expected along the Aleutians late tonight into Sunday, though sustained winds to storm force (50 kt) will be more widespread. The low will track generally eastward into the Kuskokwim Delta Sunday night. With dynamic fetch (waves moving in the same direction as the storm's center for a long period of time) expected on the south side of the low with the stronger winds, look for seas exceeding 30 feet between the Aleutians and the Pribilofs into Sunday night. Once the low moves into Southwest Alaska, conditions will calm down somewhat, with a much weaker low moving into the western Aleutians late Sunday night into Monday morning. This weak low will slowly track eastward through the central Bering through Monday night, but no hazardous weather is expected from it. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The progressive pattern with zonal westerly flow will continue Monday night into Tuesday with a couple more cold troughs tracking across southern Alaska. West to northwesterly outflow will increase across Southcentral Alaska and the western Gulf Monday night following the passage of one trough. The next trough, bringing additional cold air aloft with it, will swing into Southwest Alaska Monday night and continue into Southcentral and the Gulf Tuesday with another small shortwave following through the northwesterly flow aloft late Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. Further out to the west, a rapidly deepening north Pacific low will track north towards the western Aleutians on Tuesday and then cross into the western Bering Tuesday night and Wednesday. With the low still strengthening as it passes not far to the west of Shemya, storm force or stronger winds are likely. In response to the deepening storm, a strong upper level ridge will build over the central Bering Tuesday and then continue to amplify as it shifts east over the eastern Bering Tuesday Night and west coast of Alaska Wednesday. Forecast confidence decreases rapidly Friday through the weekend due to uncertainty in how fast the large ridge will push east and in what manner it will break down. Models, however, do agree on general trend back towards active zonal flow for the first half of next week. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
