What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this heavy freezing spray 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 heavy freezing spray warning went out at Nov 12, 6:42 AM AKST, 6 hours 39 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 12, 6:42 AM AKST, 6 hours 39 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
642 AM AKST Fri Nov 12 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Arctic airmass covering Northern Alaska will persist through the
weekend keeping temperature below normal. A weather front over
Southeast Alaska will push moisture north over the Eastern
Interior today and tonight, and cause 1-3 inches of snow today
through Sun, with the heaviest snow along the ALCAN Border.

A low just north of Barter Island will move northeast today and
tonight. Snow and blowing snow over the Eastern Arctic Coast will
diminish today.

A low developing in the Chukchi Sea on Sat will move over the
Western North Slope on Sun. This will bring snow and blowing snow
to Northwest Alaska from the Bering Strait to Point Barrow Sat PM
through Sun. Much colder air trailing this system will spread
south over Northern Alaska next week dropping temperatures to well
below normal next week.

Aloft...
The long wave pattern consists of a high amplitude trough over
Alaska and the Gulf of Alaska, with high amplitude ridges over
Western Canada and the Bering Sea and NE Russia. This pattern will
persist through Sat with several short waves troughs making their
way north along the ALCAN Border. This pattern will then start to
progress Sun into next week, with the trough moving over Eastern
Alaska and NW Canada. This will allow a strong short wave to move
from the Arctic southeast across Northern Alaska from Sat PM
through Mon. Much colder air aloft will follow this short wave
over Northern Alaska next week, bring much below normal
temperatures to most areas next week, excepting those areas along
the West Coast that are near open water.

Surface...
A 1001 MB low 100 NM north of Barter Island will move to 300 NM
northeast of Barter Island as a 1005 MB low by 3am Sat. An Arctic
cold front that extends from this low to near Inuvik to Northway
to Valdez will move south and east of the forecast area. This low
is causing snow and blowing snow along the Eastern Arctic Coast
along with west winds of 20 to 30 mph. Winds, snow and blowing
snow should diminish through the day as th low moves northeast.

An occluded front over Southeast Alaska will move north to Burwash
Landing to Dawson to Inuvik by 3pm Fri, then weaken slowly
through 3am Sun. This will cause moisture to ride up over the
Arctic air over the Interior and cause snow now near Tok to spread
northwest to Fairbanks and Fort Yukon by this afternoon, and then
to cover much of the Eastern Interior tonight through Sun. Expect
1-3 inches of snow from this east of Nenana, with the heaviest
snow along the ALCAN Border.

A low west of Wrangel Island will move to Wrangel Is as a 1011 mb
low by 3am Sat, and to 100 NM west of Utqiagvik as a 1012 mb low
by 3am Sun. A weather front stretching south from this low will
move east to along the Dateline by 4am Sat, and then to along the
West Coast of Alaska Sat night. This will bring snow and blowing
snow to Northwest Alaska from the Bering Strait to Point Barrow
Sat PM through Sun. Much colder air trailing this system will
spread south over Northern Alaska next week dropping temperatures
to well below normal next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Models verify well aloft at 00Z, and show similar solutions
through Sun, with differences on strength and location of short
waves showing up by Mon.

With precipitation, models have same general solutions through
Sat, with precip along the West Coast moving south more quickly on
the NAM compared to the GFS and ECMF on Sat night and Sun. At
this time favor a blend of the NAM, GFS and ECMF precip through
Sat, then a blend of the GFS and ECMF for Sat night and Sun. Will
spread precip from the Tok area NW to Fairbanks by this afternoon,
then continue across the Interior south and east of Nenana
through Sun AM. Expect 1-3 inches of snow through Sun AM, heaviest
near the ALCAN Border.

At the surface at 06Z, models verify well on surface features.
Models show similar solutions through Sat, and then the NAM takes
the low in the Chukchi Sea south more quickly than the GFS and
ECMF on Sat night and Sun. Favor a blend of the GFS and ECMF at
the surface through Sun.

Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None.
