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 Jan 18, 5:34 AM AKST, 9 hours 21 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 18, 5:34 AM AKST, 9 hours 21 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 534 AM AKST Sat Jan 18 2025 .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... The primary weather focus through the short term remains the slow progression of the frontal system and a series of shortwave troughs and the evolution of a potential low development along this boundary. Model guidance has trended toward slower progression of the front into Southcentral Alaska, with broad support for a developing low near Prince William Sound (PWS) or the eastern Kenai Peninsula Sunday into Monday. This slower evolution increases confidence in prolonged precipitation along the coastal areas but introduces significant uncertainty in the timing, intensity, and inland penetration of precipitation and associated impacts. Strong easterly to southeasterly winds this afternoon, particularly along the Anchorage Hillside and Turnagain Arm, are expected to persist as a coastal ridge remains along the coast. While the HRRR (and previously the NAM nest) depicts stronger winds reaching lower further into Anchorage, other guidance (GFS, NAM) suggests the pressure gradient will reorient down Cook Inlet as the low forms. Coastal areas, including Seward and Whittier, will see steady precipitation as the front lingers offshore. Precipitation rates will likely increase through Sunday as the low deepens. Inland areas will remain marginally cold enough for snow, particularly in locations like Portage through Turnagain Pass, where low-level thicknesses and temperatures support snow through the event’s early stages. Portage could see several inches of snow by Sunday evening, though warm air advection will gradually erode the cold air, introducing the potential for rain/snow mix or a changeover to rain. However, downslope effects along the coastal mountains will continue to limit inland precipitation, with areas like Anchorage and the Matanuska Valley remaining largely dry through much of Saturday. Winds will also strengthen to near storm-force in the northern Gulf as the front progresses northward by Sunday morning. As the trough becomes negatively tilted and the low develops, precipitation will begin to overspread inland areas late Sunday into Monday in the Mat-Su Valleys, and potentially into the Anchorage Bowl as well. However, timing discrepancies remain notable among model guidance. For Anchorage, snowfall remains uncertain as surface temperatures hover near freezing. Minor snow accumulations are possible late Sunday into Monday. Marginal temperatures could lead to variability depending on the timing and intensity of the precipitation. Valdez will see snow early on Sunday but will warm with increasing south to southeasterly flow, with significant snowfall expected for Thompson Pass into Monday. Overall, the exact timing and strength of the developing low in the Gulf remain variable across models. The extent of inland precipitation is tied to how quickly the trough progresses and the intensity of the cross-barrier flow. Eovino && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Saturday to Monday)... Gusty southerly winds diminish through the day on Saturday as the responsible low continues north over the Bering Strait. A compact low crossing the Alaska Peninsula this afternoon will aid in sustaining moderate to heavy precipitation across the higher elevations of the Alaska Peninsula and Wood River mountains, while lighter more showery precipitation will be possible for much of the rest of Southwest Alaska. Sunday morning, a North Pacific low tracking eastward, just south of the Aleutian Chain, will bring another series of shortwaves north into the Bering Sea, enhancing winds and precipitation along its path. Colder air will sweep eastward across the Bering, changing precipitation from rain to snow for the Pribilof Islands early Sunday morning, followed by the Kuskokwim Delta by Sunday afternoon. By the time this system reaches the Alaska Peninsula on Monday morning, light rain and snow could be possible for all of Bristol Bay, with inland locations favoring snow. As warm air is drawn in from the North Pacific, the rain/snow line moves north across Bristol Bay on Monday. Confidence is high as model agreement remains good through Monday morning. .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Tuesday through Friday)... The high amplitude weather pattern over Alaska for the past few days will become more energetic as a number of upper level shortwaves rotate across the region through the forecast period. Stormy weather continues through Friday across the Southern portions of Alaska. An elongated Bering trough reorients across Mainland Alaska, briefly eroding the the downstream ridge before continuing into Canada. Additional energy from transient North Pacific low add to the movement. The ridge reestablishes itself over the Interior as another trough deepens across the Bering for Thursday, but back-to-back lows continue through the windflow. The ECMWF and the EC mean solutions are preferred to cover both synoptic features and the uncertainty with the finer details. Some lingering areas of rain occur across the Southcentral coasts with gusty winds over the Gulf of Alaska. The next low brings locally moderate rains or rain and snow mixed and gusty winds from the Central Aleutians to Kodiak Island and Kamishak Bay into Southwest Alaska Tuesday. Locally heavy rain or rain and snow mixed spreads Eastward along the Eastern Kenai Peninsula into Prince William Sound Wednesday, and continuing to the Canadian Border through Thursday before diminishing. In the West, a well developed low and front bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the Western Aleutians Tuesday. This system marches over the Aleutians and Bering, spreading into Southwest Alaska, Northern AKPEN and Kodiak Island for Friday && .AVIATION... PANC...Light north to northwesterly winds at the surface with southeasterly winds of 30-40 kt at or above 1500 ft will contribute to continued low-level wind shear through Sunday. Ceilings remain VFR. Sunday afternoon, a short period of precipitation is likely with a front lifting across the terminal. This is more likely to be snow than rain, but precipitation type is uncertain at this time. Visibility and ceilings may drop as low as IFR for a few hours if precipitation falls as snow before improving back to VFR in the evening as a light southeasterly wind kicks in behind the front.

Easterly winds will increase tonight as a system approaches the region from the south. Expect winds to begin increasing late tonight and continuing through mid to late morning Sunday before gradually decreasing. Portage Valley and along the Turnagain Arm could see sustained easterly winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts of 45 to 60 mph. Strong winds of 30 to 45 mph with gusts of 50 to 70 mph are possible along the Upper Anchorage Hillside, including Bear Valley and Upper Potter Valley areas.
