What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this heavy freezing spray 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 heavy freezing spray warning went out at Nov 23, 5:15 PM AKST, 10 hours 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 23, 5:15 PM AKST, 10 hours 35 minutes before

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
515 PM AKST Tue Nov 23 2021

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

An anchor low across much of the mainland continues to drive the
pattern. An upper level trough extends to the west of this low,
stretching into the Bering this afternoon. Meanwhile, a strong
North Pacific low approaches Adak from the south. At the surface,
a weak series of lows encompass much of the Gulf of Alaska.
Clouds and snow showers have been and will remain a mainstay
in the area. A few hundred miles south of Kodiak Island is a
deepening low that will continue to strengthen as the
aforementioned upper level Bering trough dives south. Surface
ridging across the western area of the Bering continues to
intensify.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

It's a classic case of model guidance having a great handle on
the big picture, but struggling with the small details. In the
short-term and mid-range all guidance is solidly locked with time
and intensity of the anchor low as well as the trough digging
across the Bering. The 'big' picture differences are not readily
apparent until the end of the week. At the surface and into the
weeds of details, models have a better handle on the series of
lows in the Gulf (compared to previous days) for tonight and
tomorrow. Tomorrow evening is when differences appear. A strong
short-wave will lift north from the Pacific, and all models have
a spread of where and how strong the attendant lows will be. The
picture of a series of lows in the Gulf is consistent. but the
details are not consistent.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist. Occasional
bands of snow associated with weak lows spinning over the northern
Gulf will try to make there way across the Chugach and Kenai
Mountains into Anchorage. The terminal will be on the westernmost
edge of any snow bands, so don't expect more than flurries with
low end VFR ceilings.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 to 3:
Tonight through Thursday night)...

The upper level low continues to linger over western Southcentral,
keeping unsettled conditions in the forecast for the coming days.
A weak surface low remains near the Kenai Peninsula, driving snow
showers throughout the Prince William Sound and up the Turnagain
Arm. Snow showers are expected to persist in the Sound through
Wednesday as southeasterly flow allows moisture to advect inland
from the ocean. As winds remain light, visibility issues
associated with blowing snow are expected to remain minimal.
Light snow showers will continue over the population centers,
though the exact timing remains uncertain. Persistent cloud cover
will help keep overnight lows from dropping too much tonight.

Late Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning, a surface low will
enter the eastern Gulf from the North Pacific. This second low
will help reinforce southeasterly steering flow into the Prince
William Sound, keeping snow showers in the forecast through
Wednesday. The low moves westward into the Prince William Sound
through Wednesday, drawing the area of highest snow eastward
towards Cordova. The increasing pressure gradient will drive
outflow winds from Kamishak Bay beginning Thursday and increasing
into Friday. Overall, temperatures decrease into Thursday and
Friday as cold air is drawn southward from the interior. The
surface low persists over the Prince William Sound through Friday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2: This
afternoon through Thursday)...

Cold and dry conditions are expected to continue into Wednesday
and Thursday for much of Southwest Alaska while the region remains
on the backside of an upper low to the east. Northerly flow is
tapping into an arctic airmass to the north with 850 mb
consistently near -20 degrees Celsius or colder. With little
change in the pattern Southwest Alaska will continue to see
overnight lows in the minus single digits with many locations
dipping into the minus teens. The big question will be how much
cloud cover moves over the region, which would mitigate more
significant cooling at night. The most dense cloud cover should
be confined to and near the center of low pressure, currently
situated over the Alaska Range. However, guidance suggests low
pressure will gradually meander eastward and by Thursday
reposition over the Kenai Peninsula and Prince William Sound.
One noticeable effect from all of the cold air filtering
southward into Bristol Bay and offshore of the Kuskokwim Delta
has been the development of ocean effect snow. Locations along
the Alaska Peninsula from Unimak Island to Nelson Lagoon have
experienced periods of light snow through the morning and early
afternoon hours. Gusty winds will be common for coastal regions
and heavy freezing spray will be a concern for mariners stretching
from Nunivak Island southward into Nelson Lagoon and eastward
across Bristol Bay. South of the Alaska Peninsula heavy freezing
spray is forecast from Chignik into the Shelikof Strait.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2:
Tonight through Thursday)...

High pressure will have a firm grip on the Bering over the next
couple of days with the colder and denser air expected to inhibit
the eastward progression of the next western Bering low Thursday
or Thursday night. Low-level stratus will be common across the
Aleutians over the next 48 hours as a result. In the short term a
North Pacific low will remain south of the Aleutians tonight but
gales are ongoing for the Central Aleutians with storm force gusts
south of Adak Island and Atka. These winds should gradually
diminish tonight as the North Pacific low drifts back to the south
and east away from the Aleutian Chain. Elsewhere, small craft
winds will span much of the eastern Bering on Wednesday. Gale
force gusts can be anticipated from south of Nunivak Island into
the Alaska Peninsula. By Thursday, conditions will slowly taper
off across the eastern Bering while increasing winds may develop
over portions of the western Bering as the next low and its front
encroaches upon the Western Aleutians Thursday night.

&&

.MARINE (Days 3 through 5: Friday through Sunday)...

Gulf of Alaska...On Friday, a digging trough will push cold,
Arctic air offshore, driving strong winds out of gaps along the
Gulf coast and contributing to the formation of a low in the
northern Gulf. These gap winds will have the potential to reach
Small Craft Advisory to potentially Gale Warning levels and
produce heavy freezing spray, especially in the vicinity of
Kamishak Bay and the Barren Islands.

Aleutians/Bering...The North Pacific is active. There is a high
over Siberia and the northern Bering. Localized areas of gales are
possible near the center of a low in the western Bering/Aleutians
on Friday as a front pushes northward.

&&

.Long Term Discussion (Days 4 through 7)...

More Arctic air is headed to Southcentral. Confidence is high
that brutally cold temperatures will return to the region. Cold
air advection will also enhance gap winds. The longwave trough
will remain steadfast over mainland Alaska and negative height
anomalies at 500 mb are expected through Day 7 over Southcentral
and the Gulf Of Alaska. Whereas, positive height anomalies will
remain over the northern Bering. The GFS actually has the cold
anomalies over Southcentral through Day 10.

Out west, a high amplitude ridge persists over the eastern Bering,
keeping the storm track in the western and central Bering through
at least Monday. Models tend to break down this ridge over the
weekend as a result of the second digging trough, with the GFS and
EC bringing colder air streaming over the Bering from the Alaska
mainland.
