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 Juneau, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Nov 29, 3:07 PM AKST, 13 hours 52 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 29, 3:07 PM AKST, 13 hours 52 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 307 PM AKST Sun Nov 29 2020 .SHORT TERM...This afternoon we sit on the edge of our seats with eyes locked on an approaching storm force low that enters the gulf Monday afternoon. This storm will blanket the panhandle with a variety of hazards Monday through Thursday. But before getting carried away, lets talk about this evening through Monday morning. Satellite imagery shows a surface low located SE of Kodiak Island streaming onshore showers across the northern and central panhandle. This low will move into Prince William Sound through the night allowing for shower activity to become scattered across the north and central panhandle. An associated frontal band has blanketed over the southern panhandle. Areas from Sitka north have been seeing widespread showers through the afternoon while areas to the south have been seeing more organized precip with moderate to heavy rain at times. Furthermore, this evening, a low will develop and surge north along the frontal boundary impacting the southern panhandle. This will allow for precip rates to stay elevated dropping an additional 1 to 2 inches of rain. With continued rainfall, rivers have been rising across the south. An areal Flood Advisory has been issued for the southern Inner Channels until 9 PM tonight. Minor flooding is possible especially for areas around Thorne River and Ward Lake. By late tonight, precip will become more scattered as the low becomes displaced to the east into BC. Monday morning, weak surface ridging builds through the inner channels while onshore flow keeps isolated to scattered showers moving through the panhandle. These conditions persist ahead of the next large system. By Monday evening, a storm force front will have entered the central Gulf and will be heading towards the panhandle. Winds will begin to increase through the inner channels and over land Monday evening ahead of the frontal band. Storm force winds along coastal marine areas along with high end gales are expected through inner channels Monday night into Tuesday morning. Over land, sustained winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 55 mph are expected. For Yakutat and Sitka gusts to 60 mph are possible prompting a High Wind Watch for the surrounding areas. Not only will this system cause high winds but it will also bring a atmospheric river producing widespread heavy rain with 3 hr rainfall rates anywhere between 0.50 to 1.00 inches. This has historical significants has some areas will likely reach near record rainfall amounts. With consistent heavy rainfall rates flooding becomes a concern. A Flood Watch has been issued for the central and northern panhandle. This storm will have deep moisture support with a large fetch from the southern Gulf. Moisture support will remain through Wednesday night allowing for impressive 48 hr rainfall amounts between 5 to 10 inches across the north central panhandle with 2 to 4 inches across the south. With December fast approaching, lets not forget about the winter weather potential. Although temperatures will not be conducive for snow due to strong warm air advection with advancing frontal band, areas across the far north will hold on to colder temps the longest. Building high pressure in the Yukon will keep temperatures near Haines Boarder Customs as well as White Pass below freezing ahead of the front. With heavy rain rates producing large QPF values combined with subfreezing temps, a Winter Storm Watch has been issued from Monday night through Tuesday night for the highways near Haines Boarder Customs and White Pass. The city of Haines and Skagway are expected to see all rain as temperatures surge above freezing. Overall, a very busy week approaches. Analysis will continue as this storm continues to approach the panhandle. Confidence is moderate with the wind and heavy rain aspects of the forecast with lower confidence on winter weather along the highways. Ultimately, there remains room for forecast improvements as better guidance and understanding of local dynamics develop. .LONG TERM.../Tuesday through Sunday night/ Tuesday starts with the atmospheric river in place across the northern panhandle and the weather front running southward towards Hawaii. A developing wave on the front will move along it into the northern panhandle Wednesday enhancing the heavy precipitation for another 18 hours or so into early Thursday morning. The front then moves into Western Canada by Thursday midday. Rain will be letting up or even briefly stopping by that afternoon. Totals from the event are looking very impressive based on the climate stats, and are in ranges that flooding and other related heavy rain issues become much more likely. This will be looked at closely over the next couple of shifts to monitor. Warm air being driven north ahead of the front will have warmed most highs in the 40s to near 50. Behind the front expect some minor cooling, however most freezing levels will still be between 1000 and 2500 feet for the northern panhandle. Depending on the intensity of the warming, and the snow level, the higher elevations of the Klondike Highway could see a significant event near the summit with accumulations 1 to 3 feet, thats only if the warming doesn't completely rise above the 3000 foot level there. After that front, the confidence in the forecast shifts drastically as cross model agreement has flown out the window. They agree that there will be a low in the gulf Thursday, but strength has differences of 15 to 20 mb and placement is roughly 500 nm. The panhandle should get some more rain, and potentially some wind that would result in at least small craft being issued for the marines. Ensemble guidance have a general idea the weather more than a typical fall/early winter systems may impact the panhandle. At the tail end of the timeframe another low for the eastern gulf moves out of the Pacific for Sunday, while a much more significant very deep low (near 950 mb) moves east south of the central Aleutians. && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
