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 6, 5:35 AM AKST, 8 hours 37 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 5:35 AM AKST, 8 hours 37 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 535 AM AKST Wed Feb 6 2019 .DISCUSSION... A very active weather pattern continues for the West Coast, Western Interior and the Western and Central Brooks Range through the end of the work week as a series of fronts bring periods strong winds, snow, blowing snow and at times, freezing rain. The models initialized well and are in generally good agreement with the overall synoptic scale pattern out through the end of the week however large differences creep into the model suite by the weekend. Aloft at 500 hpa, a large latitude trough, ridge, trough pattern continues with a deep upper level trough extending from the semi- tropics north through the Bering Sea to near the pole, and an upper level ridge extending from the semi-tropics north over the Yukon and over Banks Island are combining to push a series of warm and very moist airmass's north into the West Coast, Western Interior, and the Western and Central Brooks Range. A series of strong shortwaves are progged to ride north and east along the back of the upper level ridge through the weekend. This pattern will continue to pound the West Coast, Western Interior and the Western and Central Brooks Range with heavy precipitation while the Central and Eastern interior are expecting limited precipitation and above normal temperatures through the week. West Coast, Western Interior and Western Brooks Range: The messy weather pattern is expected to persist through the week with much of the area under Winter Storm Warnings. The first in a series of fronts is currently on pushing north through the Western Brooks Range and will continue to push north along the western North Slope today. The next system is already moving on shore into the Lower YK Delta with the next front that will bring heavy precipitation to the west coast on today and Thursday as the front stalls over the West Coast and Western Interior. There is a good push of moisture with this system s well as a push of very warm air. As a result, the precipitation type will switch from snow to rain or freezing rain at times as far north as Kotzebue. The rain/freezing rain will cut down on snow totals, especially in the Lower YK Delta with up to two tenths of an inch of ice accumulation expected south of Nome. Unalakleet north to around Kotzebue, up to one tenth of an inch of ice accumulation is expected. A glaze or less is expected north of Kotzebue. The rain, freezing rain, and snow line will likely move north and south with each wave of precipitation, but ultimately drift to the north through the week. This introduces some uncertainty into the going snowfall forecast. The areas that will see the best snowfall with this system will be in zones 208 and 217. These areas won't see the freezing rain that is expected further to the south. This, when combined with upslope flow will lead to heavy snowfall totals. Strong winds are also expected with this system; however, the relatively warm temperatures will limit the potential for blowing snow especially over the southern zones. The front and the associated precipitation will finally start to push off to the east late Thursday night. North Slope: The front that is currently bring snowfall to the Western Brooks Range will continue to move north over the Western North Slope today bringing a chance of snow and increasing the winds and will help to scour out the Dense Fog seen overnight over the eastern North Slope. A second front approaches the Brooks Range this evening and will produce strong southerly gap winds through and near the Brooks Range Passes beginning tonight and continuing into Friday. On Thursday these gap winds will increase with gusts up to 45 mph possible. This will cause blowing snow and greatly reduce visibility and has prompted Winter Weather Advisories for blowing snow in zones 205 and 206. The latest model runs have backed off on wind gusts, however will need to closely monitor should stronger than predicted winds manifest. Winds will increase along the Arctic Coast Thursday night as a surface low moves north through the Chukchi Sea. Blizzard conditions are possible from Utqiagvik west Thursday night into Friday as the winds pick up. Continue to monitor. Central and Eastern Interior: Much of the Central and Eastern Interior continue to be under the influence of an upper level ridge which will keep the weather quiet for the next few days. This will limit chances for snowfall for most areas through Friday. The main exception to this will be for areas northwest of Tanana, where a weather system moving over the top of the ridge will bring snowfall on Thursday. A front will move east across the Interior on Friday bringing snowfall and a slight chance of light freezing rain as the snowfall begins.
