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 Dec 24, 5:32 PM AKST, 10 hours 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 24, 5:32 PM AKST, 10 hours 46 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 532 PM AKST Wed Dec 24 2025 .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Today through Saturday)... Changes to the current pattern begin tonight when an upper level jet streak rounds the strong upper level ridge and shifts east over Southcentral, resulting in another temporary increase in gap winds for parts of the region. This is unlikely to increase wind gusts for interior valleys, including the Mat Valley. The strongest northerly winds will be primarily focused along the coast, including near Valdez, Whittier, Seward and much of Kodiak Island. As the upper level ridge to our west moves overhead, coastal gap winds will continue to weaken. Prevailing flow becomes more westerly and will moderate overnight low temperatures. By Thursday morning, another trough dropping into Southcentral from the Arctic will bring temperatures back down. The Alaska Range will capture the majority of the potential precipitation from the front, but lingering moisture may result in light snow across the northern Copper River Basin by Isabel Pass eastward through Mentasta Pass, Nabesna, and Chisana as this front moves through. The remainder of the area will remain cold and dry. This trough will reinvigorate the outflow gap winds through the usual channels of the Prince William Sound and northern Gulf. Friday morning will return accumulating snowfall to Southcentral, starting with Kodiak then spreading east across the Kenai Peninsula and Copper River Basin. Four to seven inches of new snow is expected across most of Southcentral between Friday morning and Saturday morning, with less than three inches expected for the Anchorage Bowl and Mat-Su regions. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Tonight through Saturday)... High pressure extending from the northern Bering Sea across Southwest Alaska into the North Pacific will move out of the region to the east as low pressure centered south of the Aleutians this evening tracks into the Bering Sea for Thursday (Christmas Day). Rain across the western and central Aleutians will spread north and east into the Bering Sea, eastern Aleutians, and southern Alaska Peninsula with the low tonight. Winds increase as the low runs up against strengthening high pressure over Chukotka, reaching gale force across much of the central and western Bering for Thursday. The low track has shifted somewhat northward, which brings warmer air to the Pribilof Islands, where precipitation is now forecast to be primarily rain through Thursday afternoon. Gradually cooling temperatures, aided by potentially heavy precipitation, could allow snow to mix in at times, especially for Saint Paul, which is further north and thus expected to be colder. As a result, blowing snow could reduce visibility as low as one half mile in snow tonight into Thursday. Thereafter, a strong cold front will cause temperatures to drop Thursday night, causing a definite shift to snow for the Pribilofs as north to northeasterly winds strengthen, gusting as high as 60-70 mph. Blizzard conditions are therefore forecast until snowfall comes to a relatively quick end from north to south on Friday. Further east, snow pushes into Southwest Alaska Thursday night from west to east. Appreciable snow totals are expected from this, especially close to the Bristol Bay coast from Thursday night into Saturday. Snow amounts will range from around 4 to 12 inches for Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula, with lower amounts possible for portions of the Kuskokwim Delta. There is more uncertainty further south along the Alaska Peninsula given track/timing differences which will determine how long precipitation will remain rain before transitioning over to snow Friday afternoon/evening with the arrival of the surge of cold air. Winds increase across Southwest Alaska through the day on Friday, which will cause blowing snow to limit visibility. Visibility is likely to improve Saturday as snow gradually tapers off from northwest to southeast. There is higher confidence in the eastern Aleutians for the potential of blizzard conditions with winds increasing to gust around 60-70 mph, though snow amounts are likely to be lower there, with the exception of Unalaska/Dutch Harbor. Over the eastern Bering Sea, storm force winds develop Friday night. Winds look to persist into the weekend, only gradually diminishing, which may continue to loft snow after precipitation ends on Saturday. In interior Southwest Alaska, specifically portions of the Kuskokwim Delta and Lower Kuskokwim Valley, temperatures will be cold, with wind chills/apparent temperatures dropping to near or below 40 degrees below zero beginning Friday night. Along the Southwest coast, the cold air and gale to storm force winds will combine to produce a heavy to extreme freezing spray hazard that lasts into the weekend. Quesada && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Sunday through Wednesday)... An amplified upper level pattern sets in late this week as a strong ridge builds over the Aleutians and Bering Sea while a trough digs south across the Interior, supporting an upper level low centered over the western Gulf. A surface low lifting out of the North Pacific into the Gulf will take advantage of this upper level support, bringing a renewed threat for high winds at the end of the weekend for typical locations including the Matanuska Valley, Valdez area/Thompson Pass, and along the southern AKPen and Gulf coast into early next week. Although most precipitation will be pushed into Southeast Alaska, snowfall will linger in the eastern Copper River Valley and Delta through early next week as surface low pressure rotates in the eastern Gulf. Further west, a tightening pressure gradient between the strong ridge centered over the western Bering and trough over the Mainland will promote strong north-northeast winds across the central and eastern Aleutians on Sunday. The Arctic airmass associated with this trough will keep temperatures below average across southern Alaska, with the coldest areas being the Copper River Basin and interior Southwest Alaska, where ambient temperatures will hover in the range of 20 to 30 below zero. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions will persist through the period. The light winds are expected to become more northerly and increase up to 10 kt tonight into Thursday. &&
