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 17, 2:05 PM AKDT, 1 hour 53 minutes earlier.

National Weather Service Juneau AK
205 PM AKDT Sun Oct 17 2021

.SHORT TERM.../ Through Tuesday night /...As we turn the page on
this sunnier Sunday, we go into the work week which will be very
different than this weekend.

Reviewing the afternoon satellite imagery, clear skies are
apparent over the panhandle but a front is moving into the central
gulf with thick clouds ahead of it. So clouds should increase
from west to east tonight, giving the area cloudy skies for
Monday. While clouds are likely, precip is not. The front’s
eastward advance is still expected to stall out over the eastern gulf,
so over land areas, only along the coast has a small (10-20%)
chance to see light rain tomorrow.

Monday night into Tuesday, the front could get pushed north so
areas along the coast and in the northern panhandle have a chance
to see some rain but the front’s main push inland looks to
happen on Wednesday.

Temperatures will warm up slightly over the next couple of days.
Lows tonight will range from the 20s to low 30s in the north, to
the mid to upper 30s in the central and south. But by Tuesday
night, lows will be warmer across the board, in the 30s to 40s.
Monday’s highs will mostly be in the 40s, 40s to near 50 are
expected on Tuesday.

Winds will increase as the front moves in as well. Tonight’s
winds will increase along the coast and gulf winds to around 25 to
45 kts. Inner channel winds will slowly increase to 10 to 15 kts,
up to 25 kts at ocean entrances. Land area winds may increase to
around 10 to 20 mph in the southern areas but the central and
northern area winds will remain lighter, at around 5-10 mph or
less.

Monday’s winds will remain elevated at the speeds mentioned
above. That being said, strong wind headlines have been put in the
forecast for Monday afternoon for Port Alexander and Hydaburg for
wind gusts up to 40 mph.. Sitka and Craig may see some stronger
wind gusts but confidence is lower so these areas were not
included in the Strong Wind headline.

Winds will stay elevated at the speeds mentioned above through
Monday night but should decrease Tuesday and Tuesday night.

.LONG TERM.../Tuesday through Sunday as of 10PM Saturday/...Winds
over the Gulf will begin to subside from the strong storm-force
front, which will be lingering offshore, and associated low begin
to progressively weaken to Gale and lower values through midweek.
The pressure gradient progressively relaxes through this
timeframe. That low will move ashore near the Anchorage area
midweek. Some gusty winds with strong wind headlines look to occur
over land areas along the Outer Coast while the front remains
near shore. Some small craft to Gale- force winds look to occur
over the Inner Channels near ocean entrances. QPF values from this
system look to be relatively non-impactful as the front remains
offshore along with the bulk of the precipitation. Precipitation
looks like it will not begin to occur farther inland over the
rest of the Panhandle until Wednesday morning as a wave rides up
the front and systems to the west finally push the frontal system
over the Panhandle.

A low moves up into the eastern Gulf from the south for the latter
half of the week, which may bring gusty winds with strong wind
headlines for the southern Outer Coast and southern Inner Channels
as it's tighter pressure gradient moves by. This system looks to
spread more more appreciable rainfall amounts into the Panhandle,
especially for the south. It looks like it will have a fairly long
equatorward fetch of deep moisture to work with. Model forecast
IVT, PW, and 700mb RH values represent this well enough through
the end of the work week.

Temperatures remain relatively non-impactful for the entirety of
the long-term forecast period. Model forecast 850mb temperatures
and wind indicate that warm air will advect into the area in the
vicinity of the aforementioned low pressure systems and remain
over Southeast Alaska through the period. MOS guidance agrees well
with this. Therefore, the warming that is brought into our high
and low temperature forecasts will remain through the period. The
parts of the Panhandle that look to have low temperatures cold
enough to support wintry precipitation will remain dry during that
timeframe, due to the initial aforementioned front stalling out
offshore. As the precipitation moves in, temperatures will have
already been warming. So, it looks like we will get lucky, there.
The only areas that look like they might get some minor snow
accumulation during the overnight hours as the precipitation moves
in are near the Canadian border crossing roads along the Klondike
Highway near White Pass and near Haines Border Customs. For the
remainder of the Panhandle, both high and low temperatures look
to stay above freezing values.

Forecast confidence remains above average for the first half of
the long-term forecast period and average to below average for the
last half of the period due to considerable model disagreement on
the exact track and strength of the late-week system and the
subsequent system.
