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 Feb 27, 5:08 AM AKST, 22 hours 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 27, 5:08 AM AKST, 22 hours 46 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 508 AM AKST Tue Feb 27 2018 .DISCUSSION... Winter related hazards will be the main forecast concern over the next 24 to 48 hours. Blizzard conditions have developed overnight for the eastern Chukchi Sea Coast, northern Seward Peninsula Coast, Baldwin Peninsula, and Selawik Valley, which have prompted the issuance of a Blizzard Warning. Over Interior Alaska, snow and winds have let up a little bit early this morning, but expecting a second round of snow and winds to develop later today as a front sweeps east over the area. Wind Chill Advisories have been issued for tonight into tomorrow morning as cooling temperatures combined with wind will result in values dipping to between 40 and 55 below. A strong Bering Sea Storm will bring strong southeast winds and the potential for high surf for the Saint Lawrence Island and Bering Sea Coast Thursday and Friday. The latest model guidance is in good agreement with features aloft and at the surface through Friday, before there is increasing spread in model solutions. The models have been underdoing the wind magnitude recently and when compared current winds seems to be under done. Have opted to bump up the winds a little bit above guidance in the short-term grids. Aloft...At H500, a 476 dam upper low anchored over the eastern Beaufort Sea will remain in place through late Wednesday, while a trough extending southwest from the low over Western Alaska will swing east over Interior Alaska through Wednesday and then will move east into Western Canada by Thursday morning. Meanwhile, an upper level ridge will build over the Bering Sea and Chukotsk Peninsula and then will shift west to be over the West Coast and Chukchi Sea Wednesday night and then over Interior Alaska by Thursday evening. As the upper level ridge shifts east, several shortwaves are progged move east over the Bering Sea into the West Coast and will help to flatten the upper level ridge late this week into the weekend. West Coast and Western Interior...A front moving over the Northwest and Chukchi Sea early this morning has brought strong gusty west to northwest winds with low visibility at most sites and blizzard conditions to the Baldwin Peninsula, Selawik Valley and northern Seward Peninsula Coast. Have upgraded Winter Weather Advisories for these locations to Blizzard Warnings. Other sites in the Bering Strait and Chukchi Sea Coast have flirted with blizzard conditions, but winds and low visibility have not occurred simultaneously. Should see conditions rapidly improve this afternoon as winds dissipate. The next forecast concern will come with a strong Bering Sea low and associated front progged to move into the western Bering Sea Wednesday. Strong southeast winds and snow will accompany the front as it moves east, reaching Saint Lawrence Island early Wednesday morning and into the Bering Strait and Yukon Delta by Wednesday evening. The combination of winds and snow will likely lead to low visibilities in blowing snow, potentially blizzard conditons for the Bering Sea and West Coast Thursday and Friday. The main concern with these strong winds will be the potential for high surf in ice free waters near Saint Lawrence Island and the Bering Strait Coast. See Coastal Hazard section below or High Surf Advisory for additional details. Eastern and Central Interior...A eastward moving front will bring another quick shot of snow and gusty winds as it moves over the area today and this evening. West winds 15 mph gusting to around 30 mph will redevelop over the Central Interior early this afternoon and the eastern Interior by late this afternoon and early evening with blowing and drifting snow. Winds will dissipate tomorrow morning. Cooling temperatures combined with brisk north winds will result in cold wind chill values to around 55 below this evening into tomorrow morning for the Southeastern Brooks Range, Upper Koyukuk Valley, and Upper Tanana Valley. As the upper level ridge builds overhead, skies will clear and temperatures will cool by 10 to 20 degrees. Coldest morning will be Thursday morning and then will start to see temperatures warming into the weekend. Arctic Coast and Brooks Range...A low moving onshore this morning has brought a period of strong northwest winds and blowing snow and low visibility to the Western Arctic Coast. Should see winds dissipate and conditions improve over the next few hours. West winds will increase this evening and continue into tonight over the eastern Beaufort Sea Coast. Will see blowing and drifting snow, but not expecting visibilities under a mile. Northwest flow will advect a colder airmass, allowing temperatures to drop by 5 to 15 degrees with the coldest mornings Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...A strong low will move into the northwestern Bering Sea by Wednesday night with strong southeast winds developing over the Eastern Bering Sea and Bering Strait Wednesday evening through Friday. Expect winds gusting 50 to 60 mph in the Bering Strait. Diminished ice coverage in the area means there is the potential for High Surf Wednesday night through Friday on Diomede and Saint Lawrence Island. A High Surf Advisory has been issued for Midnight Wednesday through Friday afternoon. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Chill Advisory for AKZ218-AKZ219-AKZ224.
