What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft 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 small craft advisory went out at Jul 23, 5:38 AM AKDT, 10 hours 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 5:38 AM AKDT, 10 hours 1 minute before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 538 AM AKDT Fri Jul 23 2021 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... Morning satellite shows the state of Alaska remains under a rex block pattern with high pressure ridging southwestward from Fort Yukon into Minchumina and an ongoing vertically stacked low located over the Gulf. Between these two features is an area of east to northeasterly flow with areas of scattered showers noted on radar that extend from Prince William Sound southwestward into the Alaska Peninsula. An easterly wave of low pressure is just entering into the Copper River Basin with additional light rain and increasing clouds per moisture channel imagery. To the west, an area of low pressure remains positioned over the northern Bering with a ridge of high pressure noted over the Western Aleutians. Northwesterly gap winds 20-25 knots are persisting over the Eastern Aleutians beneath a 90+ knot jet streak which stretches eastward and immediately south of the aforementioned Gulf low. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Model agreement remains unchanged and in good agreement with large scale features. Discrepancies begin to appear when looking at the finer details. The main concerns for Friday entail the speed at which the easterly wave, currently moving into the Copper Basin, moves across South Central and how quickly associated rainfall arrives to the region. As has been the case over the past couple of days, the higher resolution models are a tad quicker with bringing shower activity as well as further south. This would favor heavier rainfall across the Chugach Mountains and the Talkeetnas. Meanwhile, the large scale models are slower and further north, also with less precipitation. High confidence exists in rain over Southcentral; however, confidence decreases with exact timing and location of the more substantial rain. All in all, can expect generally cool, wet conditions with cloudy conditions. && .AVIATION... PANC...Turnagain winds have diminished this morning but are expected to redevelop later this evening, perhaps to a lesser degree. Much of Friday should remain dry with VFR conditions extending into the afternoon and early evening hours, although areas of light rain could develop at times with brief MVFR conditions. One caveat will be if any heavy showers develop which would reduce ceilings even more. Confidence in the intensity of rain later this evening and exact placement is average to below average. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2: Today through Saturday Night)... An area of dense fog has developed across Kachemak Bay, including Homer and Seldovia this morning. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for that area until Noon. Please use caution when traveling around the area this morning until the fog lifts by midday. A strong easterly wave will cross over Southcentral through the day today. The wave is not being particularly well resolved, especially with when any associated rain starts and how far south the rain gets. There is good agreement that the greatest rainfall amounts will be the farther north you go, so the Copper River Basin and Susitna Valley are likely to pick up the most rain from this feature through Saturday. Expect much more cloud cover area-wide today due to the persistence of the low over the Gulf and this easterly wave for inland areas. The Gulf low will continue to sink southward into the North Pacific tonight. Thus, Kodiak should finally get a break at least from the steadier rain and lower ceilings tonight. It appears that if steadier rain spreads south into Anchorage it will be overnight tonight into Saturday morning. Likely probabilities of rain have been added to the forecast for tonight in Anchorage. During the day on Saturday, the wave will stall out over the Cook Inlet region, which means rain will continue through the day everywhere, including across the Kenai Peninsula. Due to the wave weakening, rainfall rates will diminish with time. Drizzle, sprinkles, and overall wet conditions will persist through Saturday night. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2...Friday and Saturday)... Quiet weather is expected over Southwest Alaska as a shortwave ridge builds in from the west. Rain over southern Bristol Bay this morning should taper off later this morning as the shortwave producing the uplift moves south of the area. Fog has begun to show up from Iliamna to Port Heiden with greater development possible near King Salmon after the rain moves through. Otherwise, onshore flow over the Kuskokwim Delta will bring the typical overcast weather, though a few breaks in the clouds are possible due to diurnal heating and a slight increase in instability. Expect an increase in temperatures over the next two days for inland areas with highs approaching 70 over the Middle Kuskokwim Valley. Diurnally driven instability will likely bring a few showers to the Western Alaska Range each afternoon though parameters appear too weak to support thunderstorms. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2: Friday and Saturday)... A shortwave ridge of high pressure will move west to east over the Bering through the forecast period. This will lead to the typical fog and low stratus throughout the region. A series of shortwaves will follow the ridge, bringing rain to the Central and Western Aleutians on Saturday. Westerly winds up to 30 kts will accompany the stronger of the two shortwaves from Shemya to Adak. && .MARINE (Days 3 through 5: Sunday through Tuesday)... There is good confidence in the development of localized gale force winds with a low south of the Aleutians through Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon through Tuesday morning, expect winds less than 35 kts and seas less than 20 ft. By Tuesday afternoon, a developing western Bering low produces the potential for localized gale force winds over the northern Bering. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Monday through Thursday)... The extended timeframe continues to look rather murky as operational models struggle with the handling of the breakdown of a Rex Block over the southern mainland and Gulf between Sunday and Tuesday. Another key uncertainty that will greatly impact the pattern evolution for the remainder of the week involves the track and timing of a shortwave that will likely be crossing the southern Bering and into the AKPen or Eastern Aleutians by the start of the forecast period on Monday. The operational GFS attempts to move this wave as a closed upper low much farther east than other solutions back into the Gulf, essentially re- establishing the blocking pattern and imparting continued cool and wet southeasterly flow into Southcentral through the first half of the week. The EC/Canadian suggest the upper low is more likely to become stalled farther west over the North Pacific, allowing instead for a developing longwave ridge to amplify into the southern mainland. This would result in a much drier and somewhat warmer outlook for the first few days of the workweek for Southcentral and perhaps even Southwest AK. These scenarios both have some support from corresponding ensembles, although run- to- run continuity for the ensemble means has also recently been rather poor at the extended timeframe. In short,there are quite a few details in flux that will have key impacts on the sensible weather next week, and additional forecast changes during this period are likely as the synoptic pattern becomes better resolved. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
