What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Nov 10, 2:40 PM AKST, 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 10, 2:40 PM AKST, 58 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 240 PM AKST Fri Nov 10 2017 SYNOPSIS... Aloft... A long wave ridge over the Bering Sea and Western Alaska will persist through the weekend then build north from the Bering Into the high Arctic then move west late next week as troughing forms over Northern Alaska late next week. Several very strong short waves will make their way east over the top of this ridge flattening the flow and bringing strong storms with warm air, plenty of moisture, and strong winds and possible coastal flooding with periods of heavy snow over Northern AK through the weekend. Temperatures will drop over eastern Alaska next week. A weakening short wave from north of Barrow to Denali Park will move to Barter Island to Delta Junction by 3am Sat, and then east of the Alcan border by noon Sat. Light snow east of this trough will drop 1-2 inches. Snow will end and clouds will clear west of the trough. A second and much stronger short wave now over Kamchatka will move to Wrangel Island to the Central Bering Sea by 3pm Sat, over NW Alaska Sat night, and over the Eastern North Slope and Eastern Interior Sun. This will push a strong surface low and cold front along with high winds and snow east with it. This will be addressed below in the surface section. Strong ridging will build over Western Alaska Sun night and Mon causing snow to end and temps to fall. Surface... A 996 mb low 300 nm north of Barrow will move to 300 nm north of Prudhoe Bay as a 1005 mb low by 3am Sat, to 300 nm north of Barter Island as a 1011 mb low by 3pm Sat, then dissipate. An arctic cold front extending south from this low to Prudhoe Bay to Cape Lisburne will move east to the Alcan Border by midnight tonight then move east. West winds 25g35kt along the front will spread east with the front tonight. Winds will decrease slowly behind the front. Snow showers with spread east with the front. From Barrow west the cold air over warm water will cause snow showers to be heavier there and keep the WWA in affect through this evening. To the east of Barrow snow showers will not be as heavy snow conditions should remain slightly better. A 980 mb low in the Sea of Okhotsk will move to 200 nm west of Wrangel Island as a 998 mb low by 3am Sat, to 100 nm north of Wrangel Island as a 991 mb low, to 400 nm northwest of Barrow as a 989 mb low by 3am Sun, to 150 nm northwest of Barrow as a 1000 mb low by 3pm Sun, to Prudhoe Bay as a 1012 mb low by 3am Mon, and to POint Thompson as a 1021 mb low by 3pm Mon. A strong occluded front with this low will move northeast to the Dateline by 3pm Sat, to Point Franklin to Huslia to the Yukon Delta by 3am Sun, to Inuvik to Fort Yukon to Denali by 3pm Sun, then move east of the Alcan Border Sun night. Expect south winds 25-35kt with gusts to 50kt at Cape Lisburne and the Bering Strait ahead of the front along with warm advection that will cause mixed rain and snow along the west coast that will tun to all snow as the front moves inland. Expect 3-6 inches of snow with the front over NW Alaska and the North Slope Sat PM into Sun, and over the eastern Interior Sat night and Sun. Will see higher amounts zones 208 217 and zones 227 and 225. Will see near Blizzard conditions along the Coast from Kotzebue north Sat pm into Sun, with precip starting as snow and blowing snow, changing to rain near the front, then back to all snow after the front moves east. Along the front expect winds to turn west 25-40 kt along the front, then northwest 25-40kt west of the front. The strongest winds will be closer to the low center north of Point Hope. This still looks to produce a storm surge starting Saturday evening of 5-6 ft zones zones 209 210 affecting Kotzebue and Deering, and 3 to 5 ft in zone 207 affecting Shishmaref, Kivalina and Point Hope. This also will produce a storm surge of 4 to 6 feet in zone 201 affecting Cape Lisburne to Wainwright, where it will produce minor flooding and major erosion due to the strength, 600 nm fetch length and duration of the northwest Gales. Since the low is tracking over Barrow, it appears as though Barrow will miss the strongest winds and that the winds that occur will not last as long, so will issue a high surf for Barrow for Sat night and Sun. && .DISCUSSION... Models initialize about 5 mb too weak on the low north of Barrow, and we will bump winds up 3-5 kt along the Arctic Coast today and tonight as a result. Otherwise models initialize well and show similar solutions through 3pm Sun. After that time the NAM keep a surface low north of Barrow which the GFS and ECMF do not. Prefer the GFS and ECMF solutions as a ridge building aloft over that area Sun night and Mon should see as high at the surface, not a low. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4... Along the front expect winds to turn west 25-40 kt along the front, then northwest 25-40kt west of the front. The strongest winds will be closer to the low center north of Point Hope. This still looks to produce a storm surge starting Saturday evening of 5-6 ft zones zones 209 210 affecting Kotzebue and Deering, and 3 to 5 ft in zone 207 affecting Shishmaref, Kivalina and Point Hope. This also will produce a storm surge of 4 to 6 feet in zone 201 affecting Cape Lisburne to Wainwright, where it will produce minor flooding and major erosion due to the strength, 600 nm fetch length and duration of the northwest Gales. Since the low is tracking over Barrow, it appears as though Barrow will miss the strongest winds and that the winds that occur will not last as long, so will issue a high surf for Barrow foe Sat night and Sun. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
