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 12, 3:59 PM AKST, 11 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 3:59 PM AKST, 11 hours 18 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 359 PM AKST Mon Feb 12 2018 .DISCUSSION... A series of shortwaves will drive much of the states weather through Friday. A shortwave moving across the western Interior this afternoon then across the Central Interior this evening into Tuesday morning before exiting the Eastern Interior Tuesday afternoon. A second shortwave will move across the west coast on Tuesday bringing more snow to the west coast then push inland on Wednesday and Thursday. Surface... A 1030 mb high will move south and strengthen tonight and will be located 500 NM NE of Barrow by early Tuesday with a ridge extending to the Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska. A weather front will move across the west coast on Tuesday. Arctic...Shortwave moving over the slope will produce periods of snow through Tuesday. Winds will increase over the eastern portion of the slope on Tuesday. This could bring down visibilities from Deadhorse east Monday evening into Tuesday. Another weather front will move across the west coast and bring heavy snow to the western Brooks range late Tuesday night into Wednesday. West coast...A weather front will bring snow, gusty winds and blowing snow to the west coast beginning Tuesday morning. The front will reach St. Lawrence Island and the Yukon Delta Tuesday morning. Snow will spread north along the coast during the day on Tuesday and into the western Interior Tuesday night. Locally heavy snow is possible Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night along the southern Seward Peninsula coast. A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for zone 211 for around 6 inches of snow accumulation.

Light freezing rain may also occur in zones 214 and 215. Winter weather advisories have been issued beginning Tuesday morning into Tuesday evening. Snow will spread inland on Wednesday. Upslope areas of the western brooks range could pick up 6 to 12 inches before the snow tapers off Wednesday evening.
