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 Feb 15, 5:40 AM AKST, 10 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 15, 5:40 AM AKST, 10 hours before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 540 AM AKST Sat Feb 15 2020 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A large area of low pressure over the Bering continues to slowly drift northward. A weakening front is pushing inland over the Southwest coast, producing light snow over the Kuskokwim Delta and Bristol Bay coast. Upper level ridging over the mainland has become less amplified as it moves eastward. Beneath the ridge, a weak surface trough over the northern Gulf coast continues to move eastward as well. Light snow fell across the western Kenai Peninsula for most of the overnight hours, though is beginning to taper this morning. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models remain in good synoptic agreement through the short term. By Sunday night, models begin to show fairly large discrepancies with the track and strength of a complex low in the Bering, and a series of lows that spin off of this parent low and propagate eastward into the Gulf of Alaska. Forecast confidence beyond Sunday remains low, however it is likely that there will be an active pattern for the southern half of Alaska early next week. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2...Sat and Sun)... The weekend will continue to feature relatively quiet weather before things get much more active next week. A very weak remnant shortwave is lifting over the Western Kenai Peninsula and portions of the upper Cook Inlet this morning. This has made for continued light snowfall through the overnight but with very little in the way of accumulations. This is expected to continue through around daybreak before tapering off completely from west to east. The other story in this pattern is the offshore winds through the typical locations. Whittier, Seward, and Thompson Pass continue to hold onto gusty conditions with a general thermal offshore gradient. The winds in Whittier could actually come up a bit more later this evening into the overnight as an upper-level jet and mid-level shortwave pass through the area. Besides some very light snow showers over the coastal areas of the Prince William Sound and North Gulf Coast, all inland locations will remain mostly dry through Sun afternoon. Sun afternoon will start to show the first signs of the pattern change. An initial (primer) front will slide from Kodiak Island early Sun afternoon up through the Susitna Valley by early Mon morning. This front will primarily feature warmer air and some windy conditions, but it could also spell some precipitation type woes. While precipitation will start out as snow at Kodiak, it will quickly switch over to rain. Further north and inland, it will be a battle between the colder air at the surface and the warmer air aloft. There looks to be enough southeast flow with this front to bring winds into the Turnagain Arm/Anchorage Hillside as well as parts of the Knik River Valley. Temperatures in these locations should jump fairly quickly. It will be a different story in the Susitna Valley where cold air should be able to hold on in the lower levels and allow for accumulating snow. Turnagain Pass will also be vulnerable to snow and possibly some blowing snow into Mon morning with this system. Again, this will be the first of several systems for next week (FEB 17-21), so please see the Long Term discussion for more details. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... Snow showers will continue across the Southwest Alaska today associated with a front from a weakening low over the central Bering. Areas in the Kuskokwim Delta and Bristol Bay will likely see an inch or two of new snow accumulation with this system through this afternoon. Gusty conditions along the Kuskokwim Delta coast this morning will cause lower visibility with blowing snow, which will weaken through the afternoon as winds diminish and snow showers move farther inland. Sunday morning, shower begin to taper off before the next organized system lifting across the Alaska Peninsula moves in for Sunday afternoon. Widespread precipitation is expected across the Bristol Bay region, which will initially start off as snow, but could transition to rain or a mix of rain and snow as warmer temperatures move in. This system will continue to lift northward into the Kuskokwim Delta and Valley overnight Sunday into Monday keeping widespread snow showers in the forecast. Colder air wrapping around the backside of the associated low will bring the potential blowing snow for Bristol Bay Monday afternoon, extending into the Kuskokwim Delta with stronger winds moving in. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... Strong winds over the Bering will weaken this afternoon as a low continues to lift northward and weaken over the north central Bering. The next system system will quickly move over the western Aleutians later this evening, which will bring an area of gale force winds. However, there is still some uncertainty in the exact placement and strength of this system, but there will be the potential for blowing snow for the western Aleutians. The active pattern continues overnight tonight as the next low system moves over the central Aleutians, bringing widespread precipitation and winds to the region. Models are struggling with the strength of this low as it moves north over the Pribilofs through Sunday afternoon. The next significant low will move over the eastern Aleutians by Monday. && .MARINE (Days 3 through 5/Monday through Wednesday)... Expect multiple deep lows over the eastern Bering Sea down into the North Pacific on Monday. All of this will shift eastward, with one or more strong lows tracking into the Gulf of Alaska Monday night through Tuesday. Forecast confidence remains high in the overall pattern, with support for gale to storm force lows. Meanwhile, forecast confidence in the track and strength of each individual storm is low. Meanwhile, it is looking likely that another large and deep low will move to the western Aleutians Tuesday, then quickly track eastward across the Bering and Aleutians on Wednesday. Once again expect widespread gales with potential for storm force winds. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7/Tuesday through Friday)... Models have come into slightly better agreement for the Monday/Tuesday time frame, and there is increasing confidence in an active pattern for the southern half of the state early next week. Potential impacts with this active pattern include mixed precipitation and possible coastal impacts across the Southwest coast, strong gusty winds for Southcentral and along the northern Gulf coast, and the potential for a brief warm-up. Solutions converge upon the same general solution beginning with a deep low tracking to the western Aleutians on Tuesday. A strong zonal jet will drive this system quickly eastward, across the Bering Sea and Aleutians and into the Gulf of Alaska on Thursday. The GFS solution takes the track a bit farther north, but ensembles support the more southern track. Based on this, expect another round of strong winds and heavy precipitation as the storm system crosses the area. The southern track would keep precipitation primarily in the form of snow across the southern mainland of Alaska Wednesday night through Friday. On the back side of this storm, Arctic air will plunge back southward across the entire forecast area. Thus, expect well below normal temperatures to settle back in across Southwest Alaska late next week, then into Southcentral Alaska by next weekend. Upper level flow will remain progressive, so it looks like another deep low will reach the western Aleutians by Friday. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...NONE.
