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 Jan 12, 2:46 PM AKST, 13 hours 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 12, 2:46 PM AKST, 13 hours 44 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 246 PM AKST Tue Jan 12 2021 .SYNOPSIS... The same pattern continues as the storm track over the Pacific continues to send weak disturbances inland north of the Alaska Range, with one currently tracking westward along the Brooks Range. A tight pressure gradient continues through the Bering Strait and along the North Slope with areas of blowing and drifting snow. For the Interior, weak ripples of energy will bring light snow threats for the next few days, although most of this will north of the Tanana Valley as the strong easterly gradient keeps things drier closer to the AK Range as the persistent pattern remains. && .DISCUSSION... Upper Levels and Analysis... A huge area of cyclonic flow aloft dominates the entire Bering Sea, North Pacific, Gulf of Alaska, and the Mainland. The main low center remains around Bristol Bay with the upper center around 499 dam. Satellite imagery shows a strong low along the eastern periphery of the trough over the Alaska Panhandle with another shortwave over the Central Brooks Range. The surface low center is also over Bristol Bay at around 974 mb, but it is weakening, and this will allow Bering Strait north winds to finally diminish tonight. Finally, a moderately strong 1028 mb high over the Arctic is pushing up against the North Slope, creating a moderate strength easterly pressure gradient. Model Discussion... The numerical weather models are all pretty much the same with the general synoptic pattern. However, as usual, they differ with the smaller scale details, and in this case, they differ the most with the timing of a series of shortwave troughs which will move into the Interior from the Gulf of Alaska. Given this type of pattern, a blend of models was favored, however, the drier of the model solutions was given much stronger weighting for the Tanana Valley which has been quite dry lately owing to the persistent Tanana Valley Jet. Central and Eastern Interior... Mostly dry weather will dominate the pattern as a persistent Tanana Valley Jet continues near the AK Range. Southerly flow aloft will also inhibit precipitation. The next chance comes tonight and Wednesday as a weakening shortwave trough from the Gulf rotates north, bringing light snow chances from the White Mountains northward, with any accumulations looking paltry given the dry air in place. A stronger wave impinges on the region Thursday night and Friday, bringing a strong northeast gradient. This will blow over the higher summits along the Dalton and Steese where some blowing and drifting snow is likely. This front will eventually move inland bringing a better chance for snow north of the Tanana Valley on Friday. West Coast and Western Interior... Strong north winds over the Bering Strait and along the coast will finally abate tonight as the gradient quickly slackens. Light snow showers from Norton Sound north and across the Kobuk Valley/Selawik Valley will deposit a couple inches of snow before exiting Wednesday. Quiet weather continues through Wednesday night before another round of strong north winds develops over the coast Friday. North Slope and Brooks Range... Strong easterly winds and blowing snow will continue through early tomorrow before the gradient and winds begin to slacken off over the eastern half of the Arctic. The gradient will remain strong, however, farther west, especially from Point Hope to Point Lay where winds will gust into the 45 mph range. Expect the worst visibility reductions there. Threats for blowing snow will redevelop out east again on Friday as the gradient tightens back up in response to a shortwave trough crossing the AK Range and moving north. Extended Forecast Days 4-7... Beginning the extended period forecast on Friday evening, there will be a shortwave trough crossing the AK Range into the Interior, bringing the threat for snow from the West Coast to the ALCAN as the elongated front interacts with the ridge in place. There is a lot of uncertainty with this system, but currently the pattern looks most favorable for snow the farther one is from the AK Range. The southerly flow aloft combined with a Tanana Valley Jet will severely limit the threat for Fairbanks south, but it is still too far out to say for certain. After that, the pattern gets real messy as another strong low moves up into the Gulf of Alaska for the weekend. This will likely not be much different than the current weather with above average temps and mostly dry for the Interior, but next week, things may change as the flow looks to shift from a Gulf of AK storm track to a Bering Sea storm track. Stay tuned... Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Weather Advisory for AKZ201-AKZ202-AKZ203-AKZ204.
