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 Nov 23, 5:43 AM AKST, 7 hours 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 23, 5:43 AM AKST, 7 hours 16 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 543 AM AKST Mon Nov 23 2020 .SYNOPSIS... The calm before the storm, as they say. This is the calm before another North Pacific storm unleashes its fury across parts of Western Alaska beginning Monday evening, spreading north along the West Coast through Tuesday night, then moving eastward into the Interior Wednesday and Thursday. The most potential energy will be unleashed over the West Coast where near storm force winds, high surf, some elevated water levels, and heavy snow with blowing snow will impact many locations. Some warm air will bring rain to parts of the Yukon Delta and Bering Coast/Saint Lawrence Island, as well. This storm is the obvious focus of this forecast. && .DISCUSSION... Upper Levels and Analysis... The NPAC is putting on a show this morning as a powerful hurricane force bomb cyclone moves into the Gulf of Alaska. This storm is completely missing the Interior, although the pressure gradient it is forcing is inducing a weak Tanana Valley Jet and some breezy southerly gap winds in the Alaska Range. The remnants of a weakening shortwave trough which brought snow to the Eastern Interior yesterday morning has moved to the Eastern Brooks Range. Weak southerly flow/troughing aloft is moving over the West Coast. Looking much further west, an occluded low is clearly visible on satellite over the Kamchatka, with a trailing warm conveyor belt/subtropical warm front along its periphery moving northeast. This is the next storm which will impact the West Coast beginning Monday night. Model Discussion... The numerical weather models have not changed much overall over the past 24 hours, which means they remain in poor agreement with the significant storm expected to move into the West Coast Monday and Tuesday, then inland Wednesday and Thursday. The one trend from yesterday is all model solutions are shifting west with the low track, and they are also trending stronger, with the strongest model solutions dropping below 950 mb as the surface low tracks into the Gulf of Anadyr and the Bering Strait. This affects the amount of warm frontal snow that moves into the Western Interior, as well as the strongest winds. For this forecast, we continue to favor a "middle ground" approach, with the NAM 06z continuing to situate between the west/strong GFS and weaker hi-res WRF solutions. However, the forecast was shifted west as well as stronger in the wind fields over the West Coast and Bering. Central and Eastern Interior... High clouds with some low stratus over river valleys is over most of the region this morning. A strong Gulf low will move into the Panhandle this evening with a very subtle easterly wave tracking into the far southeast Interior late this afternoon and evening. This will spread some very light snow into the Northway area and possibly as far north as Eagle. Cold high pressure builds in Tuesday and Tuesday night. A strong Bering storm will begin to move east on Wednesday, and this will induce a very strong pressure gradient across the Alaska Range. The Tanana Valley jet will also increase to near 45-60 MPH through favored areas such as Delta Junction. The gradient will relax Wed night as the trough shifts east, also bringing precipitation to the Interior with predominantly snow although some mixed rain/snow is possible. Stay tuned... West Coast and Western Interior... The big show is about to begin as a powerful NPAC cyclone moves northeast into the Bering Strait, with the leading warm front bring the first shot of winter weather with heavy snow and strong east winds bringing a combo of snow and blowing snow. Parts of northern Norton Sound will likely see a foot or more of snow with significant blowing and drifting. Expect a changeover to rain along the Yukon Delta, Saint Lawrence Island, and along the immediate Bering Strait coast. As the front lifts north, significant blowing snow will move into Kotzebue Sound, and with falling snow, expect near blizzard conditions by Tuesday morning as east winds increase to 45-60 mph. The front moves east into the Interior on Wednesday, bringing accumulating snow with a mix of snow/freezing rain over parts of the Yukon Valley Tue night and Wed. North Slope and Brooks Range... Quiet weather over the Slope continues with areas of stratus and fog. Fog, however, is mostly located along the immediate coast as easterly winds advect moisture inland off ice leads. A strong front will move up along the NOrthwest Arctic coast, and this will induce a strong easterly pressure gradient on Tuesday and lasting through Thu. Expect gale force winds with gusts approaching 45-50 mph along much of the immediate coast. Expect some local areas of blowing and drifting snow with some light snow accumulations over the far western coast beginning Wednesday evening. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...A front will bring rises in water levels on Tuesday and Wednesday. The winds will be from the southeast, but expect high water levels along the Yukon Delta. In Norton Sound and along the Bering Strait Coast, expect high surf and beach erosion issues with water levels 3-5 feet above the normal high tide. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
