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 Dec 6, 4:14 AM AKST, 4 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 6, 4:14 AM AKST, 4 hours 51 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 414 AM AKST Fri Dec 6 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A weather system will move north along the west coast tonight through the weekend bringing a mixture of snow, freezing rain, strong winds and blowing snow. Cold temperatures will persist today across Interior; however, a warming trend will begin tonight and continue through the weekend and into early next week as southerly flow develops over the Alaska Range for the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... The 6/00z model suite initialized well against the the 00z surface analysis and verified well against the 06 surface analysis. Overall the models are in decent agreement in the short term with the synoptic scale pattern; however there are still differences with the low that will move north along the west coast this weekend, both in terms of the strength and the placement of the low moving north along the west coast. Central and Eastern Interior: High pressure over the central and eastern interior will begin to retreat north and east as a strong front moves north and east into the Lowe YK Delta and Western Interior. Clouds will move into the southern interior late tonight and will push into the northern interior Friday. The clouds combined with a warming chinook over the Alaska Range will bring much warmer temperatures Saturday for the southern interior especially in the hills and higher locations. The cold airmass will be slower to mix out of valley locations. High temperatures today will not budge much from the 20s below in the Fairbanks area but will begin to climb late tonight especially in the hills as clouds move in. Temperatures on Saturday are expected to rise into the single digits and lower teens with cloud cover and warming from ongoing chinook pushes north. Southerly gap winds will develop in the Alaska Range on tonight where a Wind Advisory has been issued from tonight through Sunday morning. By Saturday we expect wind gusts around 60 mph in the passes of the Alaska Range which will persist into Sunday morning. West Coast and Western Interior: The west coast will receive a quick one-two punch today and into the weekend. A front associated with a low in the western Bering will push into the Yukon Delta this evening and will continue to move north along the coast Saturday. A 960 mb low will move into Bristol Bay Friday evening. By Saturday morning this low will be over Nunivak Island. During the day the low will track towards St. Lawrence Island; however, there are still significant differences in the exact track and strength of this low and another low that is racing north out of the Northern Pacific toward Bristol Bay on Saturday morning. The when and where of how these two lows merge and the subsequent track of the merged low through the southeastern Bering are still not being resolved well by the models. A broad forecast brush was used to paint where the heaviest snow and strongest winds are expected to occur as a result. The merged lows are expected to bring snow and stronger winds on tonight and Saturday for for areas south of the Seward Peninsula and Saturday and early Sunday for areas from the Seward Peninsula north. Warmer air will move in aloft over the Yukon Delta this evening. This will cause snow to change over to freezing rain There is still some uncertainty in the exact placement of the heaviest snow minor differences in the track will impact where the heaviest snow will fall. At this time the heaviest snow is expected to fall in and near the Nulato Hills while the greatest risk for freezing rain and sleet remains in the Lower YK Delta. At this time 4 to 8 inches of snow is expected in the Nulato Hills with 2 to 4 inches expected elsewhere. Ice accumulations of a glaze to one tenth of an inch are expected in the Yukon Delta Friday this and Saturday. As the front moves north on Friday, south to southeast winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts to around 55 mph are expected to develop along the Norton Sound Coast and over St Lawrence Island, with the winds expected to continue into Saturday. Another system looks to move north along the coast on Monday. Will need to closely monitor Little Diomede Island for the potential for sea ice that is currently positioned along the north coast of the Seward Peninsula to push south and west toward Little Diomede Island as strong north to northeast winds buffet the area for the next couple of days. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Advisory for AKZ226. Winter Storm Warning for AKZ213.
