What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this 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 wind advisory went out at Sep 30, 2:53 PM AKDT, 13 hours 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 30, 2:53 PM AKDT, 13 hours 47 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 253 PM AKDT Sat Sep 30 2017 .DISCUSSION... The 12Z model suite initialized well against the 12z surface analysis with the exception of the low northeast of Barrow which verified around 5 mb lower than what was initialized in the model suite. Position and track of the low north of Barrow verified well against 18z surface analysis. Aloft at 500 hpa, a 512 Dam low 400 nm north of Demarcation Point with a strong shortwave that stretches south through the Yukon will continue to retreat to the north and east as an upper level ridge builds over southwest Alaska through Sunday and merges with a rapidly building ridge over the Gulf of Alaska that builds over Alaska Sunday evening and into Monday. A strong shortwave races north along the back of the ridge and will be located over southern coast of Alaska Sunday evening, the Alaska Range and southern interior Monday morning. A mountain wave is expected to develop over the Alaska Range late Sunday evening and Monday and will brings the potential for strong gap winds through the Alaska Range passes and a moderate strength Chinook downslope wind event along the northern foothills of the central and eastern Alaska Range beginning late Sunday evening and continuing through the day on Monday. At this point high end advisory level winds are likely along the northern foothills especially Monday morning. The models continue to flip flop on timing and duration and strength of the winds with different models and model runs indicating sub advisory to Warning level winds. Continue to monitor. An upper level low drops south and east through the Sea of Okhotsk Monday and moves over the Kamchatka Peninsula Tuesday and into the western Bering Sea Wednesday. The strong upper level low moves east and north over the northern Bering Sea to near St Lawrence Island Wednesday. The upper level low combined with favorable dynamics aloft will provide an environment favorable for strong cyclogenisis over the central Bering Sea late Tuesday and Wednesday. Computer models continue to indicate a 960 mb or deeper surface low developing over the central Bering Sea Tuesday and Wednesday. Model solutions on the location, track and strength display considerable spread at this time. Continue to monitor. On the surface a 999 mb low 400 nm north of Demarcation point continues to move north and east into the high Canadian arctic. A warm front stretches form near Wainwright to Fort Yukon will continue to move to the north and east with much of the snow over the western north slope and western Brooks Range changing to rain below 3,000 feet. 1 to 2 inches of snow are expected over the eastern north slope tonight before changing over to rain tomorrow. Snow will mix with and change over to rain in the eastern Brooks Range below 2500 feet. 2 to 4 inches of snow are expected over the Dalton Highway with up to 6 inches of snow expected east of the Dalton Highway. Light rain and snow over the northern interior will change to rain and diminish later tonight. Only a slight chance of rain is expected over the southern interior. Mostly cloudy skies are expected over the central and eastern interior Sunday and Monday as a moderate chinook develops over the central and eastern Alaska Range. Light rain will move over the YK Delta, west coast and western interior Monday. Southwest winds will increase Sunday night and Monday along the northwest coast and combined with surge values of 1 to 2 feet over normal tide levels will bring another round of elevated surf to the northwest coast however wind direction along the coast and at times off shore will limit wave run up along the northwest coast. Along the south west facing coast near Kivalina on shore winds will cause higher wave run up. A high surf advisory has been issued for this area beginning tonight and continuing through Sunday night. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4... Computer models continue to indicate a 960 mb or deeper surface low developing over the central Bering Sea Tuesday and Wednesday. Model solutions on the location, track and strength display considerable spread at this time. Current computer tracks would bring highest surge level to coastlines south of Hooper Bay however a change in track further to the north would bring high surge levels over south and west facing coasts north of Hooper Bay. Continue to monitor. && .HYDROLOGY...None && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... High Surf Advisory for AKZ207. Small Craft Advisory for PKZ210-PKZ220-PKZ225-PKZ230. && CCC SEP 17
