What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this brisk wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Fairbanks, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this brisk wind advisory went out at Mar 23, 2:39 PM AKDT, 11 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 23, 2:39 PM AKDT, 11 hours 24 minutes before

NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
239 PM AKDT FRI MAR 23 2012

.DISCUSSION...
ALL OF THE MODELS HAVE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS FOR PARTICULARLY THE
CENTRAL INTERIOR. THE GFS AND THE NAM DO SPLIT THE ENERGY TO THE
SOUTH AND TO THE NORTH OF THE ALASKA RANGE WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS A
MAJORITY OF THE ENERGY TO THE SOUTH AS IT DIVES INTO THE GULF OF
ALASKA.

THE NAM TAKES THE NORTHERN PRECIPITATION AND DRIVES IT UP ALONG
THE SOUTH SLOPES OF THE BROOKS RANGE WHILE AS IF IN A CHINOOK
PATTERN. WILL DISCREDIT THE NAM SOLUTION SINCE THERE IS NO
EVIDENCE OF A CHINOOK SETTING UP OVER THE INTERIOR FOR ANY LENGTH
OF TIME.

THE GFS SEEMS MORE PLAUSIBLE AS IT ASSIGNS PRECIPITATION TO THE
CENTRAL INTERIOR AND KEEPS THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS GENERALLY
WESTERLY SO THERE IS NOT REALLY ANY UPSLOPE COMPONENT TO CONSIDER
FOR THE BROOKS RANGE. BELIEVE THAT THE ECMWF IS NOT GIVING ENOUGH
PLAY TO THE NORTHERN PRECIPITATION.

THE COLD AIR IN THE NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE WILL BE
SLOWLY ERODED AWAY AS THE CLOUDS MOVE IN AND A LITTLE WARMER
TEMPERATURES ALOFT MOVE INTO THE AREA. WINDS ALONG THE ARCTIC
COAST WILL REMAIN FAIRLY STRONG WITH THE HIGH IN THE ARCTIC
REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH SUNDAY WITH ONLY A LITTLE
WESTERLY MOVEMENT. THE LOW CLIMBING UP ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
