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 May 12, 2:45 PM AKDT, 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 12, 2:45 PM AKDT, 27 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 245 PM AKDT Wed May 12 2021 SHORT TERM...A surface low is moving towards the panhandle and will stall in the N Gulf over the next couple of days before dissipating. An opposing high pressure system southwards will create a strong pressure gradient between the two systems. The flow between them will push a plume of moisture into the panhandle on Friday. An increase in precipitation rates will occur this evening across the panhandle as the shower pattern continues. Winds will increase to 30 kt in the Gulf as the low pressure moves towards the panhandle tomorrow and areas of 20 kt winds are possible in some of the inner channels. Clarence Straight winds will increase to 20 kt on Friday. Minor changes were made to the overall forecast on Friday. A southern shift in the organized band of precipitation to match the track of the weak plume of moisture moving onshore. Temperatures remain near normal, but the min and max temperaures were adjusted Friday. The temperature shift between day and night will be substantially reduced as the organized band of precipitation brings additional cloudcover to the area. LONG TERM.../ Friday to Wednesday as of 10 pm Tuesday / Aloft the the zonal flow transitions into a ridge as it is being moved eastward. A deep low over the southern Bering Sea is assisting the building ridge, the associated trough with it moving northeast past Kodiak Island Friday. This upper level low will move from the Bering Sea to the Northwest Gulf Sunday. On Sunday the main flow pattern about the closed low is opening to a broad trough over the gulf, moves about the gulf and the eastern side is aimed at the British Columbia coastline. The remains of the trough pushes inland Southern British Columbia and Pacific Northwest. Further west the flow pattern has a zonal look with a shortwave or two in the flow, however, the flow is south of the gulf 45N-50N. What this means being on the far southern track and the lack of any more organized one further north is a light westerly flow for the first part of the week, and no significant features for the start of the week. The Saturday frontal band rainfall amounts look to be trying to usher in between 1/3 and 2/3 inches. This is not excessive rainfall but will be one of the wetter periods over the next week. Ensemble means and anomaly tables do not show anything too far out of normal for the time being. Therefore, not expecting large shifts away from the present temperature profile over SEAK. An increase of the PoPs Friday resulted in needed to adjust some Friday and Saturday high temperatures down a few degrees. Forecast confidence in the long range is average. && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
