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 29, 3:35 PM AKST, 12 hours 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 29, 3:35 PM AKST, 12 hours 22 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
335 PM AKST Mon Nov 29 2021

SHORT TERM...Widespread snowfall has started across the panhandle,
even as far south as Ketchikan this afternoon. This dynamic
weather system is associated with a strong Atmospheric River south
of the panhandle and the parent low is forecasted to move towards
Cordova this evening. Winds will increase as the front passes,
with a strong wind headline posted this evening for Craig and
Hydaburg. The ASCAT pass from this morning picked up storm-force
winds near 50 kt around the parent low, thus high-end gale-force
winds are expected across the outside waters this evening, with a
strong barrier jet off the coast of Yakutat expected.

Snow levels are forecasted to continue to rise into tonight, with
the Icy Strait region reaching 200-1000 ft after late tonight.
Up to 3 inches in Haines, Yakutat, and Petersburg and around 4
inches in the Icy Strait to Juneau region. Hyder is forecasted to
total 6 to 9 inches by midnight tonight. Please see the Winter
Weather Advisories for more details.

A second front moving from south to north will move in late
tonight and models do agree that precipitation will back off ahead
of the front. As this second front moves through, expect breezy
conditions, with strong winds expected and gusts up to 45 mph for
Sitka, Hydaburg and surrounding areas.

Improved confidence on timing of the precipitation and winds, but
lower confidence on snowfall totals. There is some indication that
Yakutat and Haines may be above 3 inches of snowfall this evening
and QPF amounts were increased today.

LONG TERM.../Wednesday through Friday night as of 4 PM
Monday/...The mid- range forecast begins with a 500mb low sitting
over south-central Alaska. Model guidance (including ensemble
averages) has this low becoming more of a trough and tracking
eastward over the panhandle. Overall, this pattern would keep
precip in the forecast through Friday.

At the surface, area of low pressure looks to move through the
northeast gulf coast. This low would reinforcing the precip over
SE AK. One question will be precip type. Because of the track of
the low, much of the panhandle would be on the warm side of the
low. So, at this time, early Wednesday morning through Midday,
rain and snow would be expected due to 850mb temps around -4 to
-6C. This idea is supported by deterministic and ensemble models.

But by the mid to late afternoon, colder air would get pushed
into the panhandle from the cold side of the low. So 850mb temps
would cool to -7C or colder and only get colder going into
Wednesday night. This would swing expected precip type to snow for
much of the area.

Thursday and Friday looks like a more showery pattern as onshore
flow continues from a low pressure sitting and spinning over the
northern gulf coast. So, for the northern half of the panhandle,
would expect a “1-4 inches of snow every 12-24 hours” type of
weather pattern going into the weekend - just enough to keep us
busy but nothing super out of the ordinary for early December. The
south could see temps in the mid 30s to near 40 so daytime rain
would be possible.
