What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this brisk wind advisory 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 brisk wind advisory went out at Mar 28, 5:24 AM AKDT, 9 hours 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 5:24 AM AKDT, 9 hours 15 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
524 AM AKDT Sun Mar 28 2021

SYNOPSIS...Skies have cleared over much of the forecast area
overnight, but a strong low pressure system moving across the
Bering Sea is sending a weather front across St Lawrence Island
this morning and the front will move to the West Coast by this
afternoon. Blizzard conditions are occurring on St Lawrence
Island, but those conditions are expected to improve through the
morning. Heavy snow will be moving to the West Coast along with
some gusty winds this morning. Snow will mix with rain in the
Lower Yukon Delta this afternoon, then change back to snow later
this evening and continue to spread east into the Interior.
Snowfall amounts will vary significantly across the state over the
next 24 to 48 hours, see the Warnings and Advisories that have
been issued at www.weather.gov.fairbanks. Expect some increasing
clouds in the Arctic, and winds will be increasing tonight from
the east to 10 to 30 mph.

.DISCUSSION...

Models...The 28/00Z solutions continue good run to run continuity
as they remain in good agreement through the midrange. With good
agreement we will not be making significant changes to the short
term forecast. Most change will be minor tweaks in temperatures
and snow amounts expected through Tuesday. Surface solutions
initialized well with the 28/06Z surface analysis.

Aloft...At 500 hpa...Broad troughing is giving way to ridging
building over the state today as a low moves over the Central
Bering Sea today. A shortwave is exiting the northeast part of the
state this morning helping to clear the skies. The ridge axis is
extends out of the North Pacific over Sand Point to Shishmaref
then over the Western Arctic. The ridge axis will move to lie over
Prince William Sound to Howard Pass by Monday morning. The low
over the Bering Sea will move over the Dateline this afternoon,
and St Lawrence Island by Monday morning at 511 dam. A shortwave
associated with the low is moving over St Lawrence Island and
Nunivak Island this morning and will move over the Seward
Peninsula and Lower Yukon Delta this evening as it pushes into the
ridge and weakens. A second wave moving around the low will move
over the Dateline this afternoon, and the West Coast south of
Kotzebue Sound Monday morning as the ridge over the state
continues to flatten out and flow becomes zonal. Ridging will move
over the Arctic today and persist into midweek. The Bering Sea
low will move over the Seward Peninsula Monday afternoon at 515
dam as a third trough swings around the low over the Central
Bering Sea to be over 170W Monday night. The low will weaken as
the trough digs south and the trough axis will lie from Anaktuvuk
Pass to Cold Bay Tuesday morning as weak ridging holds on over the
Southeast mainland and Eastern Interior. By Wednesday morning a
508 dam low will develop in the trough over Cape Lisburne as the
northern half retrogrades, while a 515 dam low will develop over
the Copper River Basin as the southern half swings around over the
Panhandle. Ridging will build over the Western Bering Sea Tuesday
and move over the Eastern Bering Sea by Thursday. At 850
hpa...Temperature will be warming slightly as the -20C isotherm
that lies from Eagle to Livengood will be sliding northeast, and
the -10C isotherm that was well south of the forecast area
yesterday will be pushing northeast and by Monday morning it will
lie from McCarthy to Fairbanks to Kivalina and north of the Bering
Strait. Monday night the -10C isotherm will be near the Brooks
Range, but cold air wrapping around the low out west will be
pulled over the Lower Yukon Delta.

Surface...Low that was impacting most of the state yesterday is
moving southeast into British Columbia. High pressure has built
north from a 1042 mb high in the North Pacific over Bristol Bay to
the Bering Strait to a 1029 mb high 150 nm northwest of
Wainwright, with a 1029 mb high in the Central Arctic Plain, and a
1025 mb high in MacKenzie Bay. A 972 mb low in the Western Bering
Sea will move to the Dateline later this morning. A front
associated with the low will move to St Lawrence Island this
morning, then to the Seward Peninsula and Lower Yukon Delta by
this afternoon as the low moves near St Matthew Island at 982 mb.
Low pressure will continue to push across the state with leeside
troughing developing north of the ranges. High pressure will
continue to hold on over the Copper River Basin and the Upper
Yukon Flats as the low moves over St Lawrence Island Monday
morning at 987 mb. High pressure will persist across the Central
Arctic with a 1026 mb high near Banks Island. By Monday afternoon
the high near Banks Island will be 400 nm north of Kaktovik at
1026 mb, while the low will be moving over the Seward Peninsula as
it weakens to 992 mb. The low will slowly move into the Upper
Kobuk by Tuesday afternoon at 1000 mb, while the high in the
Arctic will slide west to 300 nm north of Oliktok Point. A 1005 mb
low will develop in the Gulf of Alaska Tuesday afternoon. High
pressure will move over the Western Bering Sea Monday night and
the Eastern Bering Sea and the Chukotsk Peninsula by Tuesday
evening.

Arctic Coast and Brooks Range...Increasing clouds from the west
today and tonight as the low moves over the West Coast. Winds will
swing around from the east and increase as high pressure remains
offshore and low pressure pushes in over mainland Alaska. Winds
will increase to 10 to 30 mph along the coast with south winds in
the Brooks Range passes to 25 mph. Light snow expected in the
Brooks Range and the Plains with up to 3 inches possible. Blowing
and drifting snow may impact travel through the Dalton High
passes. Temperatures warming.

West Coast and Western Interior...Blizzard conditions on St
Lawrence Island already and the snow and winds are spreading to
the West Coast. Improving conditions on St Lawrence Island later
this morning, while conditions will continue to deteriorate in
Norton Sound and the Lower Yukon Delta this morning, and Kotzebue
Sound and the interior later today. Snowfall will be heavy at
times will well over a foot of snow expected in the Nulato Hills,
Bendeleben Mountains, Western Alaska Range, and Lower Koyukuk
Basin. Strong winds will create Blizzard or near Blizzard
conditions making travel difficult. Winds will be gusting to
around 40 mph from Kotzebue south along the coast. Temperatures
warmer today with a chance of rain mixing with the snow in the
Lower Yukon Delta this afternoon. Snow will continue well into
Tuesday before it tapers off, and may not taper off in the inland
areas until Wednesday morning.

Central and Eastern Interior...Tricky forecast for the Fairbanks
area. It currently looks like the heavy snow will be west and
north of Fairbanks with the Ray and White Mountains to the north
and the hills from Murphy Dome west taking the brunt of it with 6
to 12 inches expected. Fairbanks and vicinity currently look to be
spared with 2 to 4 inches in the Valley, and up to 6 inches in
the hills just to the north, and in the Chena River Basin. The
winds will pick up a bit in the hills to the north of Fairbanks,
and in the Nenana Hills, tonight making travel difficult with
blowing and drifting snow. Fairbanks remains under a Winter Storm
Watch as the area of heavy snow may still move into the area if
conditions change. Snow will become light Tuesday, but is expected
to continue into Wednesday. Temperatures will be slightly warmer
the next couple days.

Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. See latest Special
Weather Statement concerning water on top of Sea Ice through
Monday at www.weather.gov/fairbanks.

Extended forecast for days 4 to 7...Generally cloudy with light
snow or flurries through Thursday, then some clearing from the
southwest as high pressure moves over the southwest mainland and
Chukchi Sea Friday. Winds generally light and variable inland,
with east winds to 20 mph on the Arctic Coast and north wind to 20
mph on the West Coast. A strong low will move south of the Bering
Strait on Sunday.

...Strong Bering Sea storm expected to push water onto the sea ice
south of the Bering Strait...

A strong winter storm moving through the Bering Sea is expected to
push water up through fissures and leads in the sea ice south of
the Bering Strait today and Monday. The storm will also break up
the sea ice near the edge and possibly push loose sea ice onshore
on the Lower Yukon Delta Coast.

Strong southeast to south winds have moved into the Eastern
Bering Sea, and storm surge associated with the low will push
under the sea ice through Monday.

Water is expected to be pushed up on the ice from the Lower Yukon
Delta Coast to the Bering Strait Coast, including Norton Sound.

Residents should be cautious if venturing out on the ice. For the
latest forecasts go to www.weather.gov/afg.
