What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter 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 winter storm warning went out at Jan 27, 5:16 AM AKST, 9 hours 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 27, 5:16 AM AKST, 9 hours 47 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 516 AM AKST Sat Jan 27 2024 .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... A more active weather pattern for southcentral Alaska is beginning to get underway. GOES water vapor imagery shows an upper-level trough across much of mainland Alaska, with unsettled weather across the North Pacific and eastern Gulf of Alaska. The coldest air of the season has filtered into much of the area, with below 0 temps being recorded for just about everywhere in southcentral Alaska outside of the immediate coastal areas. As of 5am, much of Anchorage, the Kenai Peninsula, and the Mat Valley are observing in the range of -10 to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Farther north from Willow on up, -20s to around -30 are the norm this morning. Easily the cold morning of the season thus far. Temps are a bit warmer towards the Copper River Basin as cloud cover has spread across the area in southerly flow ahead of the longwave trough. The first of a series of waves has brought some precipitation to the eastern Copper River Basin / eastern Chugach / eastern Wrangells. The next wave is still forecast to come in tonight a bit farther west. Unfortunately there is still lots of uncertainty with the path. Operational GFS and ECMWF, along with many of their supporting ensemble members, have warning-level snow for the southern Richardson Highway. Meanwhile, several other models keep precip just off to the east. This will continue to be watched closely today. By late Sunday into Monday, high uncertainty for the fate of the third low moving into the coast persists. A deep low will move north into the Gulf ahead of the main trough beginning to pivot east towards the Kenai Peninsula. Model spread remains fairly large and in westernmost track scenario, the main low could move all the way west into the Kenai Peninsula or western Prince William Sound. This would result in heavy snowfall for the mountains and areas around the Prince William Sound, coastal Kenai, Kenai Mountains, and most places along the Seward Highway. Anchorage, western Kenai, and Mat Valley will continue to be a tricky forecast as the exact low track will determine the degree of downsloping, and ultimately the amount of precip/snow. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Tonight through Sunday)... A strong upper-level ridge situated over the Bering Sea continues to promote clear skies and cold northerly flow through Southwest Alaska. Clear conditions across Southwest, in addition to a northerly push of gusty cold winds from Interior Alaska, have made for extremely cold temperatures with wind chills observed below minus 40 this morning. Thus, a Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect for the Lower Kuskokwim Valley, Kuskokwim Delta, and Bristol Bay through Sunday morning. With the cold air advection, winds could become gusty through susceptible terrain gaps. Wind chill temperatures over much of Southwest is likely to remain in the minus 40 to minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit range. In the lower Kuskokwim Valley wind chill temperatures may reach minus 50 to minus 60 Fahrenheit. Heavy freezing spray over Bristol Bay, the Eastern Bering and the Southern marine side of the Alaska Peninsula will consequently will see ice accretion of at least 4 cm per hour near the ice edge in the eastern Bering beginning as soon as early this morning, potentially lasting into next week. Temperatures will gradually rebound early to midweek next week as an upper-level ridge builds from the North Pacific. As cold air moves over relatively warmer sea surface temperatures and winds increase from the north, ocean effect snow showers have developed across the Bering Sea and are becoming more prominent. A more defined organized system is spinning up in the northwestern Bering and drop quickly toward the Pribilofs tonight. This compact low pressure system will bring a quick round of heavy snow and strong northeasterly winds gusting as high as 35 to 45 mph. Gusty winds combined with heavy snowfall may reduce visibility to one mile or less at times due to blowing snow. The worst conditions will be brief, likely lasting around 3 hours late Saturday night. The system will track into the southeastern Bering Sea through Sunday afternoon, bringing with it winds gusting as high as 45 mph to the Eastern Aleutians. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Monday night through Thursday)... The longer term begins with a highly amplified and negatively tilted trough extending from the Bering Strait to the western Gulf of Alaska. This trough is expected to lift over Southcentral by mid-week, with more of a zonal flow developing. The negative tilt to the trough, however, lends to active weather with interior snow and coastal rain for much of Southcentral through the first half of next week. While uncertainty remains in the timing of the upper-level trough passage, most deterministic and ensemble runs show a low moving either over the Kenai Peninsula or into Prince William Sound Monday night. While the surface low weakens Tuesday, troughing and moisture advection remains over coastal Southcentral through midweek. At this point, the GFS and GEFS looks the outlier, keeping the trough in place and bringing yet another surface low to Prince William Sound. The EC and GEM keep any significant surface features well to the east. Whatever the midweek evolution, it looks more likely that well below normal temperatures will remain over Southwest Alaska well into next week. For Southcentral, significant snowfall is beginning to look more likely for the Kenai Peninsula north across the Anchorage Bowl and Mat-Su Valleys beginning Monday. With this more westerly track of surface features, precipitation will likely mix with and change to rain along the coast by Monday, but may change back to snow as the low moves north and colder air wraps back over the Gulf and Southcentral coast by Tuesday. -TM && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR cigs and vsbys expected through the TAF period. Winds will remain from the N to NE between 4-8kts with upper level BKN to OVC deck developing through the afternoon. &&

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT National Weather Service ANCHORAGE AK 234 PM AKST Sat Jan 27 2024 AKZ195-281500- Pribilof Islands- Including the city of Saint Paul 234 PM AKST Sat Jan 27 2024 ...STRONG WINDS COMBINED WITH HEAVY SNOW FOR THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING... A compact storm system from Siberia is forecast to track across the Pribilof Islands late tonight into early Sunday morning, bringing a quick round of heavy snow and strong east-northeasterly winds gusting as high as 35 to 45 mph. Gusty winds combined with heavy snowfall may reduce visibility to one mile or less at times due to blowing snow. The worst conditions will be brief, likely lasting only a few hours around midnight tonight. This system is expected to bring 2-4 inches of new snowfall to the Pribilofs during this time. Model discrepancies have become minor, providing high confidence that this will be a quick system, however the blowing snow and reduced visibilities will still be prominent while the system moves through.
