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 Aug 10, 3:11 PM AKDT, 16 minutes earlier.

National Weather Service Juneau AK
311 PM AKDT Tue Aug 10 2021

.SHORT TERM...Another front passed today while the next one is on
deck, continuing our week of active weather. A westerly jet lies
over the region and the surface front that passed mid-day has
cause a wind shift to the west as well. Satellite imagery this
afternoon shows standing mountain wave clouds, highlighting those
west winds aloft, and causing large breaks in the clouds over many
of the inside channels. This is the beginning of a lull in
precipitation that will last into early Wednesday.

Relatively light rain today along with some breaks in precipitation
in the evening will allow area rivers to slow or subside. However,
back to back rainfall events has the ground already saturated and
therefore rivers will respond quicker with the next system. Rain
with an atmospheric river arrives over the northern panhandle
Wednesday morning and continues through the end of the week. The
heaviest rain with the front will initially fall over the Yakutat
area, where 48 hour rainfall totals are expected to be 5 to 7 inches
with greater amounts possible in the mountains. The rest of the
northern panhandle will see 48 hour (Wed-Thu) rainfall totals closer
to the 2 inch mark with greatest amounts further north and along
westward facing slopes. These 2 day totals are on par with 1 year
return intervals (fairly normal for fall), but will still need to
monitor rates if those amounts fall in a shorter amount of time.

Models are showing waves or even new low centers tracking northward
along the front, which isn't unusual since it's in line with the
jet, but those can cause big changes in rainfall rates and
many times make the fire hose waver and back and forth. Looking
ahead into the long-range forecast, one of those new lows will
enhance rates and cause as the main front to shift SE on Friday.
However, timing of that shift remains somewhat uncertain. The
biggest adjustment in thinking with this forecast package is that
rainfall amounts from this event, outside of Yakutat, could end up
being highest on Friday.

Not to be left out! The southern panhandle looks to have a nice
reprieve from the rain and even some sunshine the next two days. A
ridge of high pressure building in from the S-SW will cause winds to
decrease tonight and even become somewhat variable. With light
winds, breaks in the clouds, wet ground from recent rain and
outgoing tide Wednesday morning, fog seems likely. So we have
expanded areas of fog in the forecast to some of the southern
marine areas tonight/Wed morning.

.LONG TERM.../ Thursday to Tuesday / As of Monday evening. A 500
mb ridge axis is just east of the panhandle starting Thursday
putting a strong southwest flow pattern that will be tracking
systems and moisture into the panhandle to Saturday afternoon when
a trough lifts through the panhandle. A brief break Sunday might
be in the wings for Sunday as a weak ridge moves into the eastern
gulf and panhandle. Should expect an increase of PoP early next
week after the brief break.

Thursday an atmospheric River will be aimed at the northeast gulf
coast and northern panhandle bringing with it several inches of
rain. A secondary wave on the frontal band will lift across the
gulf of Alaska and to the northern portion of the panhandle
bringing another collection of moisture into the northeast Gulf
Coast and this will bring another few inches of rain. The front
and these waves will keep nearly all the rain away from the
southern portion of the panhandle. The wave Friday-Friday night
will actually move the front east more quickly with more of a
west to east track, so rains will finally arrive for the southern
panhandle Friday night/Saturday.

The rest of the panhandle will wind down with showers through
late Saturday into Sunday, and going scattered or less for shower
activity for Sunday and perhaps Monday. The extended solutions of
ensembles show rain back for next week.

...HEAVY RAIN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...

Heavy rain with an atmospheric river arrives Wednesday morning
and continues through Thursday. 48 hour rainfall totals are
expected to be 5 to 7 inches in Yakutat with greater amounts
possible in the mountains.

Decreasing precipitation Tuesday evening will allow area rivers
to slow or subside. However, back to back rainfall events has the
ground already saturated and rivers will respond quicker. Please
be alert to sharp rises in water levels with some streams nearing
bankfull and possible flooding of low lying or poor drainage
areas. Along with flooding potential, isolated landslides are also
a concern.

Uncertainty remains in timing of when heavy rain shifts away SE.

...WET WEEK CONTINUES...

Rain with an atmospheric river arrives over the northern panhandle
Wednesday morning and continues through the end of the week. The
heaviest rain with the front will initially fall over the Yakutat
area, with the rest of the northern panhandle seeing 48 hour
(Wed-Thu) rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches with greatest amounts
further north and along westward facing slopes. As the main front
shifts SE on Friday, rainfall rates will increase, however timing
of that shift remains uncertain. Rainfall amounts from this event
could end up being highest on Friday and Saturday.

Relatively light rain on Tuesday along with some breaks in
precipitation in the evening will allow area rivers to slow or
subside. However, back to back rainfall events has the ground
already saturated and rivers will respond quicker. Please be alert
to sharp rises in water levels with some streams nearing bankfull
when the heavy rain moves in along with possible flooding of low
lying or poor drainage areas. Along with flooding potential,
isolated landslides are also a concern.

Uncertainty remains in timing of the heaviest rain. Stay up to
