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 Nov 17, 6:43 AM AKST, 8 hours 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 17, 6:43 AM AKST, 8 hours 32 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
643 AM AKST Wed Nov 17 2021
.SHORT TERM.../Warm southerly winds have already pushed up the
Chilkat Valley, thus killing the cold air dome that was supporting
heavy snow for the region. According to spotter reports, Yakutat,
Haines, and Skagway/White Pass all verified warnings with around 6
to 12 inches of snow. Snow at White Pass presumably will keep
going. There is an argument to be made to extend the warning, but
the worst of the showers probably have already fallen across the
region. For now the Klondike Highway Winter Storm Warning persists
through noon today. Hyder, too is at 32 degrees with likely
increasingly wet snow. We still think snowfall will not accumulate
nearly as heartily as the atmospheric column itself will have
warmed substantially through Misty Fjords. The advisory for Hyder
still runs through 8 AM.
Winds, too, generally verified with some additional stronger winds
recorded in Gustavus. In fact, winds are still howling through
Upper Lynn Canal with occasional gusts to 45 mph or 50 mph this
morning. These winds should begin to slowly diminish this
afternoon into this evening. Other areas will continue to see some
lighter breezes.
Strong instability in showers last night prompted updates with a
genuine thunderstorm outbreak for Chichagof and Baranof Islands
overnight. Looking at forecast vorticity and lapse rates, we
extended the thunderstorm threat in this region including Gustavus
and Sitka through 6 PM tonight.
Looking west, Yakutat's temperature has ticked down recently from
the lower 40s overnight. We expect strong cold air advection to
ensue here and spread eastward across the eastern gulf today. By
tonight, strong cold air advection should aid showers to turn to
mostly snow, even as temperatures are not expected to be below
freezing. Thus accumulations will be lighter. However, due to
unstable conditions, heavier showers could briefly accumulate
impressively. The winter storm watch for Yakutat has been upgraded
to an advisory for 4 to 6 inches of snowfall, mainly tonight. We
also studied Sitka Thursday. Since guidance generally is tied to
the outlying airport and Sitka town's temperatures are often a
couple of degrees cooler or more, we lowered forecast temperatures
and added snowfall accumulations up to 4 inches for town on
Thursday. This prompted a new winter weather advisory. Otherwise,
the other winter weather advisories for Pelican/Elfin Cove and the
capital city of Juneau still look good.
Regarding changes, we slowed the onset of northerlies Thursday
night and extended the showers through Thursday night. This could
prompt extensions of the warnings as an inevitable convergence
zone sets up across Icy Strait/Juneau Thursday night.
LONG TERM.../Thursday through Sunday/ Very active period continues
through the week and into the weekend as winter takes hold of
Southeast Alaska. Continued chances for accumulating snow and Much
Colder temperatures are in the forecast.
**Heavy Snow Showers Thursday and Much Colder Temperatures**
The period begins with a deep trough over Southern Alaska with a
strong jet streak rounding the base over the gulf. The jet streak
pushes right into the Panhandle placing the northern half of the
region in an area of enhanced lift under the left exit region. At
the same time, very cold arctic air will be ushered into the region
with 850mb temps falling to around -11C to -15C! With a surface low
remaining in the northern gulf through Friday, this is a great set
up for heavy snow showers across much of Southeast Alaska. The
challenge is determining which areas will receive the greatest
accumulations given the nature of showers. Confidence is highest for
potentially impactful accumulations around Yakutat, Pelican, and
Juneau. Due to this, A Winter Storm Watch has been posted for
Yakutat and Winter Weather Advisories have been posted for Thursday
for Pelican and Juneau areas. Accumulations are expected to greatly
vary over short distances; however upslope favored areas are
expected to receive the heaviest snow. The rest of the Panhandle
should experience snow showers, with rain mixing in at times across
the south.
**Potential Southern Panhandle Winter Storm Friday**
Another potentially impactful system moves into the region on Friday
as a weak area of low pressure traverses the gulf and pushes into
the far Southern Panhandle. At the same time, the aforementioned low
in the northern gulf weakens and dissipates as a strong arctic high
pushes south into the region. This sets the stage for a period of
snow across the Southern Panhandle on Friday. The main challenges
with this system will be how much snow is possible at sea level and
if the arctic high to the north will be strong enough to dry out the
atmosphere and limit accumulations. Current forecast is for minor
accumulations across the Southern Panhandle Friday morning before a
transition to rain.
Areas that could remain all snow are northern Prince of Wales
Island, and along and north of Sumner Strait. There are still model
discrepancies regarding the low track and QPF, so confidence remains
low in the Friday forecast. This will be watched closely over the
next few days as the potential is there for accumulating snow at sea
level.
**Saturday Drying Trend and Sunday Potential Winter Storm**
As the aforementioned arctic high drops south into the region,
expect a drying and clearing trend from north to south Friday into
Friday night. Some of the coldest temperatures of the season are
possible Saturday morning as lows could drop into the single digits
across the north! Highs may not make it out of the 20s for many
areas Saturday afternoon. With such cold air in place, the next
system expected to move in Sunday into Monday could bring another
round of accumulating snow before a change to rain. Still a little
too early to tell exact details; however this system will be
monitored closely over the next few days.
Forecast confidence is above average for the long-term forecast
period as the models were generally in good agreement. A
GFS/CMC/ECMWF model blend was used to create the forecast.
Model trends through the middle of next week maintain an upper low
over the W Gulf with a warmer airmass and increasing moisture
moving towards the panhandle.
