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 13, 2:55 PM AKDT, 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 13, 2:55 PM AKDT, 26 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 255 PM AKDT Wed Oct 13 2021 .SHORT TERM.../ Thru Friday night / Wednesday's trough is slowly pushing through the eastern part of the panhandle and the winds associated with the trough are gusting 30 to 45 mph at times. Onshore flow yet will keep the showers spread into the area overnight and through Thursday. Rainfall accumulations should be diminishing over night and then yet another trough will move into the southern panhandle Thursday. White Pass preciptiation is expected to shift between a light snow/wet snow and possibly may have some rain mixed in. Accumulations of snow are not anticipated to be more than a few inches. A new low will track east over the southern gulf Friday and Saturday staying south of the area, however, this will lead to drying conditions, northerly flow, and cooler temperatures headed into early Saturday morning for the northern section of the panhandle. .LONG TERM.../Friday through Tuesday night/...This extended range forecast begins with an upper level trough axis situated over the western Gulf and the core of the upper level jet south of the Panhandle, crossing the coast between haida Gwaii and Vancouver Island. The upper trough will deepen and sharpen up as it moves east, to be over Southeast Alaska Saturday night. An upstream ridge will shift east to be over Southeast Alaska by Saturday morning. Upstream of that, a large upper low will enter the Gulf from the west and be supported by a 170 kt digging jet. The low itself will trough out and become negatively tilted before it reaches the outer coast, if it does at all. The very strong upper jet will actually gain strength and support the development of yet another sharp upper trough that will be over the western Gulf by Wednesday morning. At the surface and near surface, the series of strong lows we have been experiencing will be in the process of advecting in a cooler low level airmass. While not cold enough to make snow at the lower elevations a slam-dunk. While snow at the higher elevations such as White Pass and near the border on the Haines highway is obviously more likely, thicknesses and low level air temperatures for snow elsewhere are still not optimal. A lot depends on whether or not there's enough PoP to get precipitation while the temperatures are cold enough. With all the rain that Southeast Alaska has been getting, one might wonder why that is even a consideration, but there does look like there will be a break in the precipitation beginning Friday night. Overnight lows cold enough to support snow in the Juneau area are currently forecast for late Friday night just as the PoP is winding down. The drying trend will spread north to south through early Sunday morning with most locations except the southern inner channels seeing a break from the wet weather. The break from the excessive wind looks like it will last a little longer. After some small craft winds over the southern inner channels Friday night and Saturday, the next big blow doesn't look like it will enter the eastern Gulf until late Sunday night. At that time, models are indicating that yet another storm force front will push east and over the coast on Monday morning with gales likely over the central and southern inner channels through Monday night and possibly into Tuesday. && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
