What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind 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 high wind warning went out at Oct 1, 2:36 PM AKDT, 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 1, 2:36 PM AKDT, 12 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 236 PM AKDT Thu Oct 1 2020 .SYNOPSIS... The region is under the influence of a classic chinook warming pattern as a series of lows from the Pacific tracks inland across the Alaska Range. This has pushed Interior temperatures well above average, and this will continue into the weekend. The next low to bring chinook warming to the Interior will also bring very high winds to the Alaska Range Passes, and some of those winds will move into the lower elevations such as Delta Junction. && .DISCUSSION... Upper Levels and Analysis... There is a large upper level trough over the Bering Sea, and this feature is anchoring a deeper Bering-Pacific trough pattern with the next low in line moving north into the Gulf of Alaska this afternoon. Embedded within the flow is a low amplitude wave moving north through the flow, and this is inducing a moderate pressure gradient along the Alaska Range, along with continued downslope chinook warming which has pushed temps 10+ degrees above average for most of the Interior. The chinook pattern will persist into the weekend as the next low moving into the Gulf moves inland on Friday and Saturday, bringing continued warming and strong gap winds out of the Alaska Range. Central and Eastern Interior... High and dry weather continues as strong fronts cross the Alaska Range, resulting in chinook warming well into the upper 50s to low 60s. This is 15+ degrees above the normal highs for early October. The next powerful chinook front is coming into the Gulf and will cross the Alaska Range Friday and Friday night, pushing southerly gusts to hurricane force across the Alaska Range, and gusts into the 70 MPH range as far north as Delta Junction. As a result, high wind warnings will be issued with this forecast package for those areas. Elsewhere, the strong downslope shadow will keep the Interior dry with periodic bouts of high clouds with the exception of a few sprinkles over the far western Central Interior and Yukon Flats (west/north of the White Mountains). Expect continued well above average temps to continue through the weekend. West Coast and Western Interior... Showers and breezy conditions will persist over the West Coast and Lower Yukon through tonight as a weakening front moves offshore. A stronger front will move into the region tonight with the remaining low moving into the region through Sunday morning, bringing widespread showers and clouds. Temperatures will gradually cool through the weekend as the overall low level flow switches from southeast to southwesterly. North Slope and Brooks Range... A strong warm front will cross the Brooks Range, resulting in increasing easterly winds with gusts to gale force along the Arctic Coast on Friday. Periodic rain showers will be possible as this front crosses, but precip will be very light. Otherwise, normal stratus and fog will continue to be a persistent threat. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Advisory for AKZ227. High Wind Warning for AKZ223-AKZ225-AKZ226.
