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 Feb 6, 1:52 PM AKST, 16 hours 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 1:52 PM AKST, 16 hours 16 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
152 PM AKST Sat Feb 6 2021

SYNOPSIS...Snow will be tapering off in the Interior to flurries
overnight, then clearing skies Sunday. Temperatures have moderated
a bit with the clouds, and a warm front moving over the Eastern
Arctic Coast, but temperatures will start falling Sunday evening
and continue to fall into midweek. Wind will increase over the
summits north of Fairbanks with Wind Chill to around 50 below and
blowing snow reducing visibility making for difficult travel
conditions. Generally clear and cold in the Interior and Arctic
through the week with some snow midweek on the West Coast.

.DISCUSSION...

Models...06/12Z solutions are in much better agreement, especially
in the midrange. Temperatures will be below climatological
normals over Northern Alaska this next week. Precipitation
solutions have done a good job with the latest system. We are
moving into a drier period in the Central and Eastern Interior so
no issues there. The West Coast will get some activity Wednesday
and Thursday and the GFS and ECMWF are handling it similarly at
this point. Solutions have been consistent in developing winds on
the summits north of Fairbanks through midweek. Temperatures
coming out of the MOS guidance may be a bit on the cold side
considering the 850 hpa temperatures only get down to around 32
below on the Canadian solutions and warmer on the others.

Aloft...At 500 hpa...A 498 dam has moved south over the Southern
Beaufort Sea with troughing extending southwest over the Upper
Yukon Flats this afternoon. The low will continue to move south
over the Northwest Territories by Sunday afternoon at 508 dam as
the first shortwave exits the area and another shortwave moves
over the Arctic Coast. Ridging continues to extend from the
Northeast Pacific over Bristol Bay and Chukotka to a 550 dam high
200 nm west of Wrangel Island Sunday afternoon. A 545 dam low over
the Chukotsk Peninsula will dissipate over the Chukchi Sea
tonight. A trough south of the Western Aleutians will move
northeast to lie from Northern Kamchatka over the Northwest and
Central Bering Sea and Atka by Sunday afternoon. Monday afternoon
troughing will continue over the northeast corner of the state and
Eastern Arctic with a 514 dam low over the Yukon Territory. The
ridging will also persist extending from the Northeast Pacific
over Kodiak Island to the Bering Strait to a 552 dam high 400 nm
northwest of Wrangel Island. The trough over the Central Bering
Sea will move east as it dissipate over the Eastern Bering Sea
Monday. At 850 hpa...-20C isotherm lies from Northway to Oliktok
Point. As the upper level low over the Beaufort Sea moves south it
will start dumping cold air into the state with the -20C isotherm
being pushed southwest to lie from McCarthy to Selawik to Point
Lay by Monday morning with some -30C temperatures east of Fort
Yukon and a pool of -40s over the Yukon Territory.

Surface...Surface low associated with the low aloft over the
Beaufort Sea has moved to 150 nm southwest of Banks Island with a
warm front extending southwest over the Eastern Arctic Coast. The
low will continue south as the front drags southeast tonight. High
pressure associated with a 1056 dam high high in the Siberian
Arctic extends south to Wrangel Island then east over the Arctic
Plain today. A 1027 mb low over the Seward Peninsula continues to
weak and will move east along the stationary front that is north
of the Alaska Range. A front lies over the Western Aleutians then
south into the Pacific. High pressure will build in over the
Interior behind the low as the high over the Siberian Arctic moves
into the northwest Arctic at 1057 mb, and a 1048 mb high develops
over the Arctic Plain. A cold front associated with the low in
the Northwest Territories will push south to the Eastern Arctic
Coast tonight and into the Eastern Interior during the day Monday.
The high over the Arctic will continue to move south to 300 nm
north of Utqiagvik by Monday afternoon at 1063 mb. The front in
the Bering Sea will move to the Eastern Bering Sea and dissipate
with the precipitation remaining offshore.

Arctic Coast and Brooks Range...Wind chill continues to be and
issue and expect it to continue and may go even lower as
temperatures fall after the clouds move out tonight. Winds will be
