What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this blizzard warning 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 blizzard warning went out at Nov 8, 3:59 AM AKST, 11 hours 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 8, 3:59 AM AKST, 11 hours 27 minutes before
NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 359 AM AKST SUN NOV 8 2015 .DISCUSSION... MODELS...GOOD AGREEMENT CONTINUES WITH GOOD RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY THROUGH THE MID RANGE. INITIALIZED WELL AGAINST THE 06Z SURFACE ANALYSIS. USING A BLEND FOR THE SHORT TERM WITH A STRONG LEAN ON CONTINUITY FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST CYCLE WHILE NUDGING PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES UP WITH THE SREF. WILL LEAN MORE ON THE GFS IN THE MID RANGE WHILE MAINTAINING CONTINUITY. ALOFT...AT 500 HPA...TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE NORTHEAST INTERIOR AND WILL MOVE EAST INTO CANADA LATER THIS MORNING. RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE EXTENDS FROM THE CHUKCHI SEA OVER POINT LAY TO MANLEY HOT SPRINGS TO ANCHORAGE AND WILL CONTINUE EAST TODAY TO LIE FROM OVER THE ARCTIC NEAR SHORE WATERS OVER BARTER ISLAND TO EAGLE TO YAKUTAT BY LATE THIS EVENING...THEN INTO CANADA. A 487 DAM LOW 200 WEST OF ST LAWRENCE ISLAND WILL MOVE OVER ST LAWRENCE ISLAND THIS EVENING...THEN OVER THE WESTERN SEWARD PENINSULA BY MONDAY MORNING AT 489 DAM. MODELS DISAGREE A BIT ON WHAT TO DO WITH THE LOW AFTER THAT...BUT IT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST OVER NORTON SOUND...THEN NORTHEAST OVER THE ARCTIC NEARSHORE WATERS NEAR BARROW BY LATE TUESDAY EVENING WITH ZONAL FLOW NORTH OF THE ALASKA RANGE. AT 850 HPA...A SHOT OF WARM AIR ADVECTION TODAY AS SHORTWAVE SHOOTS ACROSS THE STATE...THEN WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK. SURFACE...WEAK RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE WILL SLOWLY MOVE INTO CANADA WITH THE AXIS MOVING EAST OF THE ALCAN BORDER LATE MONDAY EVENING. THE LOW OVER THE BERING SEA WILL MOVE FROM 150 NM NORTHWEST OF ST MATTHEW ISLAND TO THE SOUTHERN TIP OF ST LAWRENCE ISLAND BY LATE THIS EVENING...THEN OVER PORT CLARENCE ON THE SEWARD PENINSULA BY MID DAY MONDAY. A TROUGH THAT LIES OVER THE ARCTIC PLAIN WILL SLOWLY DRIFT NORTH OVER THE NEAR SHORE WATERS MONDAY EVENING. THE LOW WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE MIDDLE YUKON AT 981 MB AS A 983 MB LOW DEVELOPS JUST WEST OF BARROW. THE LOW OVER THE MIDDLE YUKON WILL MERGE WITH THE LOW NEAR WAINWRIGHT WEDNESDAY MORNING. A 996 MB HIGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE WRANGEL MOUNTAINS EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AND PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. A WEATHER FRONT WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL INTERIOR TONIGHT WITH UP TO 0.30 INCH OF PRECIPITATION FALLING ACROSS THE AREA. MARINE...MODELS HAVE BEEN A LITTLE JUMPY WITH THE SURGE VALUES ACROSS THE AREA...BUT THEY ARE POINTING TOWARD PRETTY HIGH SURGE VALUES SOUTH OF THE BERING STRAIT AND NORTH OF NUNIVAK ISLAND. HIGHEST VALUES CONTINUE TO BE AROUND GOLOVIN AND IN NORTON BAY. IT APPEARS MORE AND MORE LIKELY THAT GOLOVIN WILL TAKE THE BRUNT OF THE STORM WITH AREAS WEST AND NORTHWEST OF THE TANK FARM IN GOLOVIN BEING INUNDATED WITH STORM SURGE. OTHER AREAS THAT WILL SEE SURGES OF 4 TO 8 FEET WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT EROSION ALONG THE BEACHES WITH WELL ABOVE NORMAL WAVE RUN UP. WARNINGS ARE REPLACING THE WATCHES FOR ZONES 211 212 AND 214. ARCTIC COAST AND BROOKS RANGE...WINDS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DIMINISH FROM BARROW EAST...BUT TO THE WEST OF BARROW WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE BROOKS RANGE AND NORTHWEST COAST AS THE LOW MOVES TO ST LAWRENCE ISLAND. WINDS GUSTING AROUND 50 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED SOUTH OF WAINWRIGHT THROUGH EARLY EVENING. AS THE TROUGH MOVES OFFSHORE WINDS WILL DIMINISH ACROSS THE AREA WITH LIGHTER WINDS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SNOW SPREADING OVER THE NORTHWEST COAST AND WESTERN BROOKS THIS AFTERNOON AND EXPECT 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW. BAND OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL ARCTIC COAST WITH A COUPLE INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE FROM WAINWRIGHT TO DEADHORSE TONIGHT. A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...THEN A COOLING TREND FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. WEST COAST AND WESTERN INTERIOR...BIG MESS OUT HERE TODAY. RAIN AND SNOW...VERY WINDY...AND COASTAL FLOOD WARNINGS...SEE MARINE SECTION ABOVE AND HAZARD PRODUCTS FOR MORE DETAIL. LOW IS WINDING UP PRETTY GOOD AND THE MODELS HAVE BEEN PRETTY GOOD ON THE POSITIONING OF IT THROUGH TIME. BIG QUESTION WILL BE THE HOW FAR WEST THE FETCH WILL TURN AS THE LOW MOVES OVER PORT CLARENCE THIS EVENING. STORM FORCE WINDS WILL BE JUST OFF THE COAST OF ZONE 214 THIS EVENING...SO WINDS AROUND SCAMMON BAY WILL BE VERY STRONG AND THE MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES WINDS NEAR HURRICANE FORCE AT TIMES OVERNIGHT. PRECIPITATION WILL BE A BIG MESS WITH RAIN MIXING WITH SNOW FROM NOME SOUTH AND EVENING JUST RAIN IN THE LOWER YUKON DELTA AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL TURN IT ALL BACK TO SNOW BY MONDAY MORNING. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS RANGE FROM LESS THAN AN INCH TO OVER 5 INCHES IN SPOTS NORTH OF GALENA. GUSTY WINDS IN THE ALASKA RANGE TO NEAR 65 MPH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CENTRAL AND EASTERN INTERIOR...FRONT WILL SPREAD SNOW INTO THE INTERIOR THIS EVENING...HOW MUCH WILL DEPEND ON THE DIRECTION OF FLOW. WEST FLOW WILL BRING MORE MOISTURE INTO THE AREA WHILE SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CHINOOK OUT SOME OF THAT MOISTURE. LATEST MODELS ARE PRODUCING UP TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE INTERIOR...SO WILL GO WITH THAT FOR NOW BUT NEXT MODEL RUN COULD DRAMATICALLY CUT THAT OR INCREASE IT A BIT. WINDS GENERALLY LIGHT...HOWEVER STRONG GAP FLOW WINDS DEVELOPING NEAR ALASKA RANGE PASSES AND MODERATE TANANA VALLEY JET WILL KICK WINDS UP AROUND DELTA JUNCTION. WILL ISSUE WARNINGS FOR THE PASSES AND ADVISORY FOR THE DELTA JUNCTION AREA. && COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... COASTAL FLOOD WARNING FOR AKZ211-AKZ212-AKZ214. WIND ADVISORY FOR AKZ223-AKZ227. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR AKZ216-AKZ217. HIGH WIND WARNING FOR AKZ214-AKZ225-AKZ226. HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING FOR PKZ220-PKZ225-PKZ230. GALE WARNING FOR PKZ200-PKZ210-PKZ215-PKZ220-PKZ225-PKZ230. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR PKZ225-PKZ230.

A STRONG WEATHER FRONT MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE WEST COAST OF ALASKA TODAY IS CAUSING VERY STRONG SOUTHEAST WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 55 MPH. NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ARE OCCURING FROM THE SEWARD PENINSULA NORTH...WHILE THE SNOW IS MIXING WITH RAIN FROM THE SEWARD PENINSULA SOUTH. THE WEATHER FRONT IS SPREADING SNOW INTO THE WESTERN INTERIOR TODAY. THE WEATHER FRONT EXTENDS FROM A VERY STRONG LOW PRESSURE CENTER THAT IS NOW IN THE NORTHERN BERING SEA AND WILL MOVE OVER THE SEWARD PENINSULA MONDAY. THIS STORM HAS STRONG SOUTH WINDS ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER BATCH OF STRONG WINDS AND SNOW TO THE WEST COAST TONIGHT AND MONDAY. THE STRONG SOUTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BRING COASTAL FLOODING TO THE WEST COAST OF ALASKA FROM THE YUKON DELTA TO NORTON SOUND STARTING TONIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. A STORM SURGE PUSHING WATER LEVELS UP 6 TO 8 FEET ABOVE NORMAL TIDES COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING ALONG ALONG THE COAST FROM THE YUKON DELTA NORTH TO NOME.
