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 Fairbanks, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Jun 17, 2:53 PM AKDT, 11 hours 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 2:53 PM AKDT, 11 hours 11 minutes before

NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
253 PM AKDT SUN JUN 17 2012

.DISCUSSION...MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH AT LEAST 48
HOURS. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING IN OVER NORTHERN ALASKA TONIGHT
AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK. 500 HEIGHTS WILL BE ON THE
RISE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

COLD FRONT THAT HAS MOVED ACROSS THE ARCTIC SLOPE TODAY HAS MOVED
INTO CANADA. A STRONG PUSH OF WARM AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT AND INCREASE THE TEMPERATURES ON THE ARCTIC COAST BY
SOME 20 DEGREES OR BETTER BY MONDAY.

AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS IN OVER NORTHERN ALASKA IT WILL
FORCE THE AREA TO BECOME MORE STABLE AND THUS LESS ACTIVE
CONVECTION. MUCH OF THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL ON MONDAY WILL BE IN
ZONE 224 AND SOUTHWARD AND EVEN THIS WILL BE LIMITED.

EXPECT STRATUS AND FOG IN MANY COASTAL ZONES. WITH ONSHORE FLOW
OVER THE WEST COAST...ZONES 207 AND 208 WILL BE PRIME CANDIDATES
FOR DENSE FOG.

THE GFS REMAINS THE WARMEST OF ALL OF THE MODELS WITH THE ECMWF
BEING THE COOLEST. IF THE GFS SOLUTION IS CORRECT FOR THE END OF
HE MID RANGE THEN TEMPERATURES WILL SOAR INTO THE MID 80S OR SO.
THE ECMWF KEEPS THE TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S. THE WEST COAST WILL
EVENTUALLY SEE A COUPLE OF FRONTS SWING IN AND DROP THE
TEMPERATURES TO BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR BY THE END OF
THE WEEK.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...HIGH ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER RH VALUES OVER
PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL INTERIOR THROUGH MON EVENING. RH
VALUES WILL HOVER IN THE MID TO UPPER TEENS BUT SUMMIT WINDS HAVE
INCREASED AND WINDS MAY INCREASE TO MORE THAN 25 MPH IN THESES
WIND PRONE AREAS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...NONE.

&&

.AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
RED FLAG WARNING FOR AKZ219-AKZ220-AKZ221-AKZ222.
