What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill 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 wind chill advisory went out at Dec 9, 10:24 AM AKST, 17 hours 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 9, 10:24 AM AKST, 17 hours 19 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 1024 AM AKST Thu Dec 9 2021 .SYNOPSIS...Active weather continues for the Central and Eastern. A bit more snow than expected overnight as the front stalled in the Fairbanks area depositing 2 to 3 inches of light fluffy snow. More snow on the way for the Interior as a front will develop along an inverted trough that will extend from Denali to Chalkyitsik Friday morning with snow developing mainly south and east of the Yukon River. The snow will persist into Sunday morning before tapering off. Snowfall amounts of 2 to 5 inches are expected. Strong winds near the Alaska Range Passes this evening will diminish, but blowing and drifting snow may impact travel at times this evening. Strong, gusty north winds occurring in the Bering Strait, and on St Lawrence Island, will continue through most of the weekend. Low persisting off the Arctic Coast will gradually weaken as it moves over Wainwright by Friday afternoon. Temperatures cooling slowly. && .DISCUSSION... Models...09/12Z solutions continue to be in generally good agreement through the short term with some minor issues in the details. Pattern change slows some as the trough digs south and holds over the eastern half of the state, while ridging builds north over the Bering Sea and Siberia sliding east of the West Coast this weekend. Will be using mostly a general blend of the solutions for the short term and leaning on the Ensemble means for the extended periods. Will make some adjustments to the winds in the Arctic using the CanadianReg, and will be kicking the winds up on St Lawrence Island based on stronger winds already occurring. For precipitation will be kicking the probabilities up around Fairbanks to match current conditions, and then kicking the QPF up Friday and Saturday to be on the high end of guidance. Aloft...At 500 hpa...A 492 dam low will move south over Wainwright by Friday evening. A trough extends east then south from the low over MacKenzie Bay, and a trough extends southwest from the low over the Northwest Arctic Coast. A 494 dam low that was south of the the Gulf of Anadyr is 100 nm southwest of St Lawrence Island and the trough that was extending east over Nome to Nenana to McCarthy has dissipated. A 489 dam dam low that was over Northern Kamchatka Wednesday has moved over the Central Bering Sea. A 501 dam low that developed overnight is over the Pribilofs and will move over King Salmon at 491 dam this evening. Weak ridging that was over the southwest mainland has moved east with the axis extending northwest over Haines to Tok to Fairbanks to Norton Sound. By Friday morning the ridging will slide east as the axis drifts north over the Upper Yukon Flats extending west to Norton Sound. The low in the Arctic will be quasi stationary but drift a bit closer to the coast. The low that was over King Salmon will be over Cook Inlet at 492 dam with a trough extending east over the Gulf of Alaska Coast. The lows over the Bering Sea will merge and move over Nunivak Island at 495 dam. Friday afternoon b road troughing over the state with the low in the Arctic over Wainwright at 490 dam, and a low in the Northern Gulf of Alaska at 490 dam. A 493 dam low will develop and move over the Upper Tanana Valley in the Yukon Territory. At 850 hpa...Temperatures cooling to -20C to -30C by Saturday morning. Surface...Bubble high that was over southwest mainland yesterday has moved over the Fortymile Country with high pressure extending northwest over the Upper Yukon Flats. A 982 mb low persists 100 nm northwest of Utqiagvik and will slowly drift toward the coast. Trough of low pressure persists over the Gulf of Alaska Coast as low in Prince William Sound weakens. Low pressure over the Bering Sea with a 979 mb low near St Lawrence Island with a weather front extending east across Norton Sound to Nenana to McCarthy. A 982 mb low that was near the Kamchatka Peninsula yesterday has moved into the Central Bering Sea. A 960 mb low that moved into the Bering Sea overnight is near the Pribilofs. This afternoon the low near the Pribilofs will move to King Salmon while the other lows in the Bering Sea will weaken and high pressure over the Eastern Interior will be pushed east, while high pressure will develop over the Copper River Basin. Leeside troughing developing north of the Alaska Range today with tight pressure gradient across the Alaska Range that will produce south winds gusting to around 50 mph this afternoon and evening. Arctic Coast and Brooks Range...Low persists in the Western Arctic and continues to spin clouds and flurries or light snow into the Northwest and Central Arctic Coast through tonight as the low drifts near Wainwright. Some clearing to the east of Utqiagvik early today, then increasing clouds and a chance of snow as the winds swing around to northeast. Along the coast from Utqiagvik west, wind becoming south 15 to 25 mph from Wainwright to Utqiagvik as the low moves over Wainwright. East of Utqiagvik winds from the southeast at 5 to 15 mph becoming northeast to east. Variable winds to 10 mph in the plains, while winds around 10 mph will turn from the northeast in the Brooks Range overnight. Lows tonight will range from the single digits below along the coast to the teens below in the plains and Brooks Range. Highs Friday in the single digits above and below. West Coast and Western Interior...Some lingering flurries south of Huslia will be ending this evening. A strong low moving south of the area will keep some snow in the Lower Yukon Delta, and the Upper Kuskokwim Valley, a bit longer but it will be ending overnight after around 2 inches of snowfall south of Anvik and around McGrath. Clearing skies north of Galena this evening with breaks in the clouds to the south tonight. Strong north winds in the Chukchi Sea and Northeastern Bering Sea with snow squalls possible on St Lawrence Island and potential for Freezing Spray to be lofted on shore along the north side of the island as the temperatures fall. Winds on the Capes and St Lawrence Island have increased to 20 to 30 mph gusting to 40 mph will peak with gusts to around 50 mph this afternoon. Winds will remain strong from the north into Saturday afternoon. Blowing snow will impact visibility on the Bering Strait Coast and St Lawrence Island with visibility reduced to one half mile at times. Winds in the remainder of the coastal areas 10 to 20 mph and gusty, while moving inland winds will be variable to 10 mph. Lows tonight will range from teens below north of the strait to single digits above and below in the Lower Yukon Delta. Highs Friday from the single digits below north of the Bering Strait to single digits above in the Lower Yukon Delta. Central and Eastern Interior...A few break this afternoon and evening, then increasing clouds with snow developing around noon on Friday. Snow continuing into early Sunday morning with accumulations of 2 to 5 inches, mainly south of the Yukon River. Gusty winds near the Alaska Range passes with gusts around 50 mph and locally some blowing and drifting snow that may impact travel at times into the evening. Southeast winds will also pick up around Delta Junction to 15 to 25 mph and gusty winds blowing and drifting snow before diminishing this evening. Winds in the remainder of the area will be variable to 10 mph. Temperatures cooling slowly through the weekend. Lows tonight will fall to zero to 20 below, while highs Friday will be mostly in the single digits above and below zero. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. Extended forecast for days 4 to 7...A push of cold air into the state will push temperatures down next week with lows falling to 20 below to 30 below over much of the forecast area under mostly clear skies through Tuesday. A strong winter storm will move to the West Coast Wednesday bringing another round of wind, snow, and potential for blizzard conditions over much of the West Coast before the front moves inland Thursday. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
