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 Jul 9, 11:37 PM AKDT, 4 hours 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 11:37 PM AKDT, 4 hours 18 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
1137 PM AKDT Fri Jul 9 2021

.SHORT TERM...The flow pattern aloft has a general trough that
persists while an impulse drops south from near the Seward Peninsula
to over Kodiak Island Saturday night, then into the western gulf. As
the low settles in through Monday, it forms into a fairly strong
closed system with the mid level main flow stream from the central
Aleutians and curving around the Gulf to the northern BC coast and
and southern panhandle.

At the surface, a ridge builds over the eastern gulf and panhandle,
then sharpens along the Coast Mountains through Sunday night. This
will help stall the weather front over the gulf, keeping most of the
rain west of 140 W and curving back to towards Prince William Sound
and Kenai Peninsula.

For Friday night, there is an impulse pulling NNE towards the
southern panhandle, so bumped up PoPs and QPF there for the late
night and Saturday morning section of the forecast. Onshore flow
continues over the rest of the panhandle with the more favorable
spot being west of Yakutat. Saturday into Sunday the panhandle area
should see showers ending and staying that way way into the start of
next week until the front stalled over the gulf finally pushes into
the panhandle area.

The Northeast Gulf Coast area will likely keep rain in the
forecast mainly west of Yakutat, although that changes by Sunday
night as the band moves to impact the Yakutat area.

The front on Sunday from the moderately deep low near 1000 mb will
be in an area of tightened pressure gradient so winds increase to
Small Craft or better (25 kt) through Sunday night, ranging to near
Gale in around Cape Suckling.

.LONG TERM.../Sunday through Wednesday/ As of 10pm Thursday. The
extended forecast remains dominated by the first closed low
pressure system to move into the Gulf of Alaska in well over 2
weeks.

A broad upper level trough will slowly move East out of the
Western Gulf through the forecast period. While the ensembles and
operational runs do continue to show some disagreement on where
exactly it moves, all agree that it will spend much of the
upcoming week over the Gulf of Alaska. Closer to the surface, it
is this uncertainty in the location of the center of the low that
will prove to be the primary forecasting challenge. Model runs
have backed off on an initial wave of precipitation entering the
area during the weekend, instead taking this first wave further to
the West, bringing it over South Central Alaska. There continues
to be some indication that rain isn't out of the question for SE
Alaska during the Monday-Tuesday time frame. This will however be
largely dependent on how exactly the main low phases with a wave
carrying abundant moisture moving S of it in the N Pacific.
Afterwards, continuing onshore flow will help keep chances of rain
across much of SE AK as the parent low slowly decays-perhaps with
some additional bands of vorticity moving up along its eastern
flank into the panhandle. However, given rapidly growing forecast
uncertainty by this point, am not willing to fully agree with any
operational run-particularly given that the ensembles agreement is
scarcely any better.

Looking further afield, there are some signs that the decaying low
in the gulf will merge with another system entering the gulf
through Thursday, which could send another frontal band our way.
Otherwise, minimal changes made to the forecast through the time
period. Temperatures generally lean a bit on the cool side as
cloud cover helps keep the worst of the thermal radiation at
bay,though think that the S panhandle will by and large be
warmer than the N panhandle. Forecaster confidence is below
average regarding the strength and timing of the bands of
precipitation moving through the panhandle.

.MARINE...Small Craft level winds 25 to 30 kt start spread into
the coastal zones from Cape Suckling south and east through
Sunday night. Even a narrow band of Gale Force winds of 35 kt
over the area west of Icy Bay coastal zones for Sunday and Sunday
night. Gales are not that common for mid summer in the gulf so
highlighting with mention here.
