What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this blizzard watch 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 watch went out at Feb 24, 6:16 AM AKST, 5 hours 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 6:16 AM AKST, 5 hours 55 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 616 AM AKST Fri Feb 24 2017 .DISCUSSION... Another active weather day today as the second winter storm continues to pile up snow over northern Alaska and the third and strongest storm takes aim at the west coast, western and central interior as well as the Brooks Range for Saturday and Sunday. Models...The 00z model suite initialized well against the 00z surface analysis and verified well against the 06z surface analysis. Despite a very progressive pattern with multiple shortwaves zipping along through the longwave pattern there is remarkable agreement both between model families and from run to run through middle of next week. Aloft at 500 HPA a short shortwave located over western Alaska continues to plow into the ridge over eastern Alaska and flatten the ridge. The shortwave continues to flatten the upper level ridge today and tomorrow which sets up a deep layer west to west southwest flow over much of northern Alaska for Saturday and Sunday. Strong and moist deep layer southwest flow continues over much of northern Alaska as the second snow storm moves with a surface reflection 1003 mb low along the northwest coast will continue to weaken and move to the northeast as the associated front stretches over the central interior continue to push to the east today. Snow will diminish over the central and eastern interior today as the favorable upper level dynamics push north and east into Canada however moist southwest upslope flow from the surface to around 500 HPA will continue snowfall over the southern faces of the Brooks range. As better upper level dynamics move back over the area Saturday and Sunday with storm number three, expect snow to increase over all of the interior and to be enhanced in areas favorable for west to southwest upslope flow. Opted to leave ongoing Winter Storm Warnings going in these favored upslope areas through Sunday as these areas will continue to receive significant snow between storm two and three today and tonight. On the surface a 1003 mb low over the western north slope weakens to around 1010 mb as it moves east to near Prudhoe Bay this evening. Ongoing snow over much of the western, central and eastern interior will diminish today as upper level support moves east however upslope locations along the southern faces of the Brooks Range, the southern Seward Peninsula and the northern nulato hills will continue to receive snowfall. Focus turns to storm number three. Winter Storm Watches have been issued and ongoing Winter Storm Warnings extended for the Seward Peninsula, eastern Norton Sound, the western and central interior with 6 to 12 inches of snow expected Saturday and Sunday. The heaviest snow will fall over the higher terrain and summits in the interior and along the southwest facing slope of the Brooks Range. A cold air mass behind the front that sweeps through the interior Sunday will not only usher in much colder temperatures for next week but will also create gusty winds especially on higher terrain in the interior. Travel over highway summits in the interior will likely be very difficult with considerable blowing and drifting snow Saturday and Sunday. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
