What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Juneau, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Apr 3, 2:43 PM AKDT, 13 hours 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 2:43 PM AKDT, 13 hours 6 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
243 PM AKDT Sat Apr 3 2021

.SHORT TERM...A very positively tilted ridge at 500 mb, will have
the ridge axis move east and south through the panhandle by
Sunday evening. As a result a fairly zonal flow from central
Aleutians into the panhandle will become the driving feature for
the incoming impulses of energy. An embedded short wave will be
moving across the northern gulf region Monday. The zonal like
flow is expected to continue into Tuesday although a trough be be
digging southeast by Tuesday over the central Gulf.

Breaks in the cloud cover this afternoon will fill in overnight,
however, some breaks along the low level moisture could lead to
some areas of fog developing tonight. For the northeast gulf
coast and the northern panhandle, with the low and mid levels
shifting to westerly then southwesterly, clouds and light
precipitation starting to spread in with low pops (under 35%)
tonight. A more organized frontal associated with upper level
support of short wave overhead, likely to categorical
precipitation levels by Monday morning.

Winds across the area are light ( under 10 kts predominately) and
and will increase slightly for Sunday.

.LONG TERM.../Monday through Friday/ As of 10pm Friday. The
extended forecast is dominated by one, very slow moving low
pressure system. But the changing upper level pattern will play a
big role in determining rain vs. snow through the week. Starting
Monday morning, a northern gulf low near PWS will already be in
place. Precip will be underway across the north and will spread
over most other parts of the panhandle through the day. SWLY flow
aloft will likely cause some shadowing in lee side areas like the
Chilkat Valley and WAA under S-SW flow at all levels will make
majority of the precip be rain. Models are in good agreement on
snow levels rising to around 1000ft Monday morning for everywhere
except Yakutat.

As an upper level trough moves through Monday night, flow aloft
will shift out of the NW, causing CAA from interior Alaska and the
arctic. This will result in falling snow levels through Tuesday
and potential for snow to come back into the forecast. Meanwhile
the surface low looks to meander over the NE gulf, continuing to
send showers onshore (mixed or rain during the day and mainly
snow at night) through mid week.

Models have differed from run to run on the strength and track of
the gulf low, but a general trend has been for it to gradually
track SE through the end of the week. This would result in
decreasing POP from north to south, winds shifting out of the
north and CAA causing potential for some northerly outflow winds.
Since this was the consensus, have increased winds through N.
Lynn Canal and some other outflow areas for Wed-Fri and kept POP
on the lower end. But how strong the winds end up being will
depend greatly on how deep the low gets, how quick/slow it
departs, strength of building high pressure to the north and
whether or not another system moves in from the west to replace
it. Some 00z models are showing another quick moving low track
across the gulf from the west on Thursday, which would give
another resurgence of moisture to the area before shifting off to
the SE a bit later than before. The latter half of next week has
lower forecast confidence as a result.
