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 Mar 11, 3:32 AM AKDT, 11 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 11, 3:32 AM AKDT, 11 hours 53 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 332 AM AKDT Wed Mar 11 2020 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will produce below average temperatures across much of the state through Thursday. A major pattern shift is underway and will manifest Thursday as powerful frontal system along the northwest coast. Very strong south winds along with snow and blowing snow will likely lead to blizzard conditions at times along portions of the Chukchi Coast, western Brooks Range, and western Arctic Coast. Additionally, warmer temperatures associated with this system will spread to the Interior over the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Aloft 500 mb... A mid level trough spanning Mackenzie Bay to the Alaska Panhandle will track east, bringing any remaining cloud cover with it. Ridging will be the dominant feature over much of the state through Thursday, though a very weak shortwave will move across the West Coast today before dissipating over the Interior early Thursday. A strong ridge in the central Bering Sea will be forced up and over a cutoff low south of the Aleutians near 40N. This will reinforce the omega block currently over the north central Pacific. Deep longwave troughing over Siberia and the northwest Pacific will push a series of shortwaves through the northern Bering Sea, across Siberia, and into the eastern Chukchi Sea. This general pattern is expected to persist well into next week, supported by an abnormally strong omega high in the Gulf of Alaska at around 575 dam. North Slope and Brooks Range... Winds have finally decreased across the Beaufort coast as low pressure tracks east across Mackenzie Bay. High pressure to the north will support cold temperatures and and otherwise benign weather for much of the region, though a weak front will bring some cloud cover and a few snow showers to the Chukchi Coast today. A strong front will approach the Chukchi Coast Thursday, bringing very strong southerly winds as well as snow and blowing snow. Blizzard conditions appear likely for much of the immediate coast from Utqiagvik west, as well as the western Brooks Range. Sustained winds of 40 to 60 mph are possible with gusts to 70 mph or greater at times. The strongest winds will generally be felt from Kivalina north to Point Hope, Cape Lisburne, and Point Lay. Winds 30 to 50 mph are possible as far north as Utqiagvik late Thursday. As such, Winter Storm Watches are in place for this region. Expect strong southwest winds to spread west along the coast Friday. Passes in the eastern Brooks Range will also be targets for hazardous winds Friday. Temperatures will be increasing as the warm front tracks east across the Interior. Above average temperatures can be expected this weekend into next week. West Coast and Western Interior... Areas of low clouds and light snow showers are expected today with the passage of a weak front. Skies may again clear briefly before the arrival of a strong front Thursday. South winds will begin to increase across the coast Thursday morning. The strongest winds will generally remain farther north and impact St. Lawrence Island, the western Seward Peninsula, and the Chukchi Coast. Sustained winds of 30 to 50 mph could gust to 70 mph or greater at times for these areas. This combined with snow and blowing snow has prompted Winter Storm Warnings for these areas. Areas of the coast from Nome south can expect winds 25 to 40 mph with gusts to 50 mph at times late Thursday into Friday. Precipitation through Friday morning will be confined mainly north of the Bering Strait. However, by Friday afternoon, the front will tap into moisture associated with a cutoff low in the north central Pacific, This will send a surge of moisture northward, affecting much of the remainder of the coast late Friday, as well as the Interior by early Saturday. Central and Eastern Interior... Temperatures will remain colder than normal today, though the arrival of cloud cover late this evening should initiate a warming trend Thursday. A strong warm front will sweep across the Interior Friday, instigating a much warmer pattern for this weekend into next week. Gusty winds up to 40 mph can be expected over areas of higher elevation Friday. A few snow showers can be expected Saturday, though high pressure is expected to build across the Interior Sunday into early next week. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4... A Strong weather system is expected to impact the northwest coast beginning Thursday. At this point, strong south winds and warmer temperatures are expected. Thick, extensive sea ice coverage across the eastern Bering Sea should prevent any coastal flooding issues, though we will continue to monitor closely. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

A strong storm moving across Siberia into the Arctic will bring strong winds and elevated coastal waters to the area Thursday into Friday. Winds will increase significantly Wednesday night and Thursday and persist into Friday afternoon before diminishing. Water levels along the coast will rise 2 to 4 feet above the normal high tide line and may inundate some low lying areas, and will be pushed up on top of the ice around open leads. With the very strong winds there is the threat of an ice push near Nome, but the probability remains low at this time. Residents can prepare for this event by ensuring all valuables are moved well away from the shoreline, and objects that can be blown around by the wind are secured.
