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 Nov 4, 4:59 PM AKDT, 11 hours 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 4, 4:59 PM AKDT, 11 hours 48 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 459 PM AKDT Thu Nov 4 2021 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A high amplitude trough extends from the Russian Arctic southeastward across the northern to eastern Bering Sea, then across Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula into the North Pacific. A vertically stacked low is centered over Bristol Bay, drifting slowly southeastward, while a leading short-wave over the western Gulf of Alaska rotates northwestward over top of the low. A fairly narrow band of precipitation sits out ahead of the trough across the Kenai Peninsula. The short-wave is causing this band to lift northward across the peninsula and toward Anchorage. Weak cold air advection has led to a transition from rain to snow, especially across the western Kenai Peninsula, where there has been some light snow accumulation. On the back side of the low strong gusty winds and snow showers dominate much of the eastern Bering, eastern Aleutians, and southern Alaska Peninsula. This is due to tight pressure gradients west of the low center as well as a series of short-waves and associated cold air advection along the back side of the upper trough. Ridging is found on either side of the trough, with quiet conditions across the western Bering and Aleutians as well as the eastern half of Southcentral Alaska. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models continue to struggle with placement of narrow band of precipitation over the Kenai Peninsula. The 18Z guidance seems to be catching on with a general slower northward progression into Anchorage. Another difference of note is with handling of a deep storm system crossing the eastern Gulf of Alaska on Friday. The GFS is an outlier in maintaining a much deeper low as it tracks to the northern Gulf Friday night. Prefer the NAM/ECMWF/Canadian which all rapidly weaken the low, with little impact on the northern Gulf and Prince William Sound areas. Elsewhere, models are in good agreement with large scale features over the next few days. && .AVIATION... PANC...While the details are hard to nail down, expect rain to move into the area late this afternoon, leading to lowering ceilings. Colder air will filter in tonight leading to a transition from rain to snow. Timing in changeover is uncertain, but most likely it will occur after 06Z. Then expect light snow to linger through Friday morning, and possibly even into the afternoon. The flow will slacken overnight, so conditions are favorable for IFR conditions to settle in. Would not be surprised if there was a period of LIFR, if not at the airport, then at least in the vicinity. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Today through Sunday afternoon)... A southeasterly plume of moisture is moving very slowly northeastward across the Kenai Peninsula ahead of a weakening low over Bristol Bay. This will eventually move into the Anchorage area by this evening, however will dissipate in intensity overnight through Friday morning. Initially precipitation will fall as all rain or a mix, before transitioning to light snow by the morning commute. As such, although widespread impacts are not expected, slick conditions are possible particularly near the Hillside. Model agreement diverges into the weekend, however mostly cloudy skies, scattered show showers and cooler temperatures are expected. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: This afternoon through Sunday)... The low over Bristol Bay will slowly move across the northern AkPen and towards Kodiak Island tonight and Friday morning. This low continues to spin off shortwaves producing areas of light snow. The most significant shortwave is currently rotating across the Lower Kuskokwim Valley and will move into the Kuskokwim Delta tonight producing light snow. Snow with this feature will be in the one to two inch range in most areas. Otherwise, expect a few snow showers to linger through Friday across the area with little to no accumulations expected. By Saturday an elongated upper level trough will remain over the area with continued chances of snow showers but nothing significant expected. Sunday the trough will begin to move over the eastern Bering as a ridge tries to build from the Interior of Alaska this will put an end to most of the snow showers. Expect colder temperatures as we head into the weekend with highs in the teens and 20s and lows in the teens to single digits. The AKPen will continue to see gusty northwest winds through Saturday with snow showers with a couple of inches of snow over the next couple of days. By Sunday the winds will decrease, but a few snow showers will persist as cold air continues to move across the Bering towards the AKPen. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... An upper level trough continues to sit across the eastern Bering as well as a vertically stacked low over Bristol Bay. This has ushered in cold northwesterly flow with Gales over most of the eastern Bering and eastern Aleutians. Across the western Bering a ridge will slowly move towards the central Bering Saturday and Sunday this will bring quiet weather to this area. Another north Pacific low will push a front into the western Aleutians and southwest Bering Saturday and Sunday with Gales near the front and rain. && .MARINE (Days 3 through 5: Sunday through Tuesday)... Aleutians/Bering...The potential for gales over the western Aleutians is favorable depending on the placement of the Northwest Pacific south of the Aleutians Sunday morning. This situation could elevate sea heights up to at least 14 ft through Sun afternoon, then subsiding Sun night around the western Aleutians to 8 ft. Meanwhile, the train of long-period swells continues north across the offshore marine zone 411 until seas subside to below 10 ft Mon night. Stronger winds from a North Pacific high pressure could likely reinforce winds and seas on Mon night keeping them elevated until Tue night. Forecast confidence is above average. Gulf of Alaska...Though long-period swells will make it across the Gulf the next several days, but seas are expected to remain well below warning thresholds. Thus, anticipate moderate seas through Tuesday. Forecast confidence is above average. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Monday through Thursday)... An extensive trough over the western Bering combined with strong winds from a high pressure over the North Pacific could potential elevate winds and seas for the western Aleutians between Mon and Tue. As the trough dives into the deep North Pacific, a ridge of high pressure builds across the Bering and the Aleutians into the midweek followed by another wave of fresh to strong winds arriving Thu morning over the western Aleutians. Over southern Alaska, a pool of cold air advection races to the Southwest starting Mon night with temperatures of -10 to -16 degrees Celsius at 850 mb filling most of Southwest and parts of Southcentral into Wed afternoon. Dry but much colder conditions are expected over much of southern Alaska, and we could likely anticipate temperatures to drop below climatological normals later in the week. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
