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 Jun 18, 2:54 PM AKDT, 13 hours 14 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 2:54 PM AKDT, 13 hours 14 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 254 PM AKDT Fri Jun 18 2021 .SHORT TERM...A ridge of high pressure over southeast Alaska will survive and reform after a low travels eastward south of the panhandle. The low undercutting will be suppressing the shower activity in the northern portion of the panhandle tonight and the southern Saturday. The rain may just catch the far southern panhandle as it passes by. Saturday should have a solid ridge over the eastern gulf impacting the weather for SEAK. Temperatures Saturday will likely reach into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Sites with the better sunshine will be dealing with sea breeze effects during the day. The next system moving through the western gulf towards the Kodiak Island, and frontal will lift into eastern gulf and panhandle Sunday. The models are still fine-tuning the track and frontal positions. .LONG TERM.../Sunday through Friday night/...This extended range forecast begins with a large upper ridge and ridge axis situated directly over Southeast Alaska early Sunday morning. The ridge will shift east early in the day as a result of a strong upper level trough rotating around an upper low located over Kodiak. The trough will be supported by an upper jet of 80 to 100 kts (depending on the model). Models diverge early on as to where the upper low will go as well as where the jet core will move to, but all keep it somewhere between Yakutat and Cape Edgecumbe by Monday morning. The situation at the surface is still not stable in terms of how the models are evolving the associated front, but it is clear that all of the numerical solutions available are slowing the easterly progress down A LOT. Current model depictions do not move precipitation in over the outer coast until the early afternoon on Sunday, meaning that Father's Day might turn out dry for most locations until the afternoon. Sadly, there is still a lot of uncertainty in the current forecast and poor model consistency and agreement over the past few days only adds to a lack of forecast confidence and exactly where and when frontal precipitation will arrive and how far south that precipitation will extend. As of Thursday evening, scattered showers remain in the forecast for most of the Panhandle for Sunday. Another change from yesterday is that both the ECMWF and the NAM are indicating that the rain, when it arrives over the northeast Gulf Coast, will be heavy at times. Much work was put into this aspect of the forecast by the day shift on Thursday and those changes were retained this evening. Winds associated with this Sunday front are another change since yesterday. Several iterations ago of the wind forecast for Sunday featured small craft winds over the eastern Gulf west of Cape Fairweather. Subsequent forecasts saw these winds diminished to less than 25 kts. Today, all mid range models are once again depicting small craft winds and at least one is now advertising marginal gale force winds between Dry Bay and Cape Suckling. The current forecast returns small craft winds to the marine forecast, but there is not nearly enough confidence to extend them as far south along the outer coast nor up the ante to gale force. The potential is there, but this will wind up as a short term forecast problem. The pressure gradient over the inner channels continues to be very weak, so we still have no concerns about impactful winds on the inside for the opening of the commercial fishing season this Sunday. Overall forecast confidence remains below average. && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
