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.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 3:11 PM AKDT, 16 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion 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. && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...Strong Wind until 6 PM AKDT this evening for AKZ018.
