The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 22, 2:25 AM AKST, 17 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
225 AM AKST Sat Dec 22 2018
.SHORT TERM...Weakening front pushing north through the Panhandle
this morning. Low level offshore flow has limited precip to just
trace amounts of light rain/snow in most areas. Northerly pressure
gradient has led to SCA winds developing in Lynn Canal and out of
Taku Inlet.
A stronger low will lift north towards Haida Gwaii this evening
and then slowly weaken on Sunday before shifting back to the
south. Tightening pressure gradient between the low to the south
and weak high pressure over BC/Yukon will lead to northerly gales
developing in Lynn Canal and out of interior passes. Some mtn wave
potential near downtown Juneau/Douglas but cross barrier flow will
be lacking. Thus limited wind gusts to between 40 and 50 mph in
these areas. Should more of a sustained mtn wave develop, these
could be higher but this will have to be monitored by later
shifts.
A swath of warm air advection in the 850-700mb layer will lift
north over the southern panhandle late tonight leading to higher
chances for some light rain and possibly some snow mixed in where
rates are heavier. Low level offshore flow will likely limit
precip amounts however.
As the low weakens on Sunday into Sunday night, the gradient will
relax and winds will become much lighter over the inside waters.
.LONG TERM.../Monday through Friday/...As of 10pm Friday.
Sunday's low pressure to the south will have weakened to a trough
on Monday and looks to connect with another trough over the
western gulf. This then shifts north over the panhandle, bringing
a chance of snow/rain showers to the region, likely widely
scattered with light accumulations possible. The showers dissipate
on Tuesday, but the next weather system will already be tracking
across the western gulf.
Timing and position of this next system is still very uncertain.
However, cold air will be in place and as warming occurs aloft with
the front an overrunning snow event is possible. Snow looks to be
most likely across the northern half of the region during Wednesday
and mainly rain for the south.
Through the rest of the week the weather pattern remains active with
systems moving through every other day. However some of these look
warmer too, meaning greater potential for rain and less certainty in
where the rain/snow line will fall.
