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 Oct 12, 3:06 PM AKDT, 1 hour 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 12, 3:06 PM AKDT, 1 hour 1 minute before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
306 PM AKDT Tue Oct 12 2021

.SHORT TERM.../ Through Thursday night / Second wrap and the upper
level trough are moving across the panhandle this afternoon and
evening. A burst of gusty winds into the panhandle and marine
sites and exposed coastal communities is leading to land gusts to
45 mph into this evening, while, some marine sites early still
gale force although those will be weakening through the evening.

Snow level near White pass is expected about 2000-2500 feet, and
with southerly flow moisture will continue to flow upslope the
pass area. Snow level may creep up the pass to near pass level
overnight. Snow forecast is in lower confidence fields for the
next 24 to 36 hours, but put about 4 inches into the forecast near
the pass for Tuesday night. Will be issuing a winter advisory to
cover the pass snow accumulations.

Shower activity will continue through Tuesday night but will
begin diminish some overnight. The next trough is moving across
the western gulf, and will be approaching the coast early
Wednesday morning around daybreak. Zonal flow aloft will be
rushing systems east across he gulf quickly. Rains from the new
trough will spread across the panhandle Wednesday.

The zonal flow will continue over the gulf so should see more
troughs and bands of showers to the weekend overall. Another
weather feature is forecast for Thursday so that will be the next
band of organized precipitation.

.LONG TERM.../Thursday through Monday night/...This extended range
forecast begins with an upper ridge situated over Southeast Alaska
and an upper trough over the Gulf of Alaska both features are
quite deep and extend down to the surface. In particular, the
upper trough is associated with a front that will be the first
weather system to affect Southeast Alaska in this long range
forecast. In fact, precipitation from the front will begin in the
latter part of the short term period, but it is becoming hard to
distinguish between them, moving over the forecast area in such
quick succession as they are. The details on the Thursday event
lie in what appears to be a developing that will be carried to the
northeast and then merge with the existing frontal boundary. The
southern third of the Panhandle will see some heavy precipitation from
this, but the heaviest will fall farther south over British
Columbia. The next in this series of lows will enter the western
Gulf on Friday and the occluded front should reach the outer
coast by Friday evening. And after that, another on Monday.

At this time of the year, temperatures, and in particular,
overnight lows, get a lot of scrutiny with respect to freezing and
the attendant phase change from rain to snow. Herein lies the
primary forecast challenge for this extended range forecast. There
is good agreement amongst the models for colder low level air to
advect in from the west through the weekend and model spectrum
spread charts show similar information. MOS guidance for
temperatures does not really reflect this though. That being said,
there is no low elevation snow in this extended range forecast,
but this is clearly the lowest confidence portion of the forecast
due to the differences between temps in the charts and in the
tables.

At the time of this writing, the Thursday front looks like it will
manifest itself with only small craft winds over the southern
inner channels. The same is true for the Friday evening front. The
Monday front, on the other hand, looks as if it will be a high
end gale event over the eastern Gulf with the potential for small
craft winds over the central inner channels and gales over the
southern inner channels. Winds during this time frame were
increased a fair bit, but may need to be increased again as we get
closer to the weekend.

&&

.MARINE...Band of gale force winds on the south side of the
weakening low in the northeast gulf are moving to the coast and
inland for late this afternoon. Just small craft level winds and
seas to impact the forecast tonight and into Wednesday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...Minor Flooding was anticipated in the Ward Lake
Recreational area for early today so a flood advisory was issued to
6 pm water levels are falling at Carlanna Lake so expired the
advisory. Precipitation over the next 24 to 48 hours will not be
as significant. The moisture about second wrap is pushing through
the panhandle
