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 30, 6:47 AM AKST, 4 hours 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 30, 6:47 AM AKST, 4 hours 38 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
647 AM AKST Tue Nov 30 2021

.SHORT TERM...The next front in our complex of lows/fronts is on
our doorstep this morning. A low at the triple point will track
N-NE over the Frederick Sound region by mid-day, then continue
northward. Moderate to heavy rain and gusty winds will move over
the southern panhandle to start. Despite snow levels rising
across the south, those rates may cause snow to mix in at times in
places as far south as Kake. Snow levels will take longer to rise
over the Icy Strait, Juneau, and Hyder areas. Hyder saw over 13
inches of snow as of 3am Tuesday and expect another 6 inches
through the first half of the day before a change over to rain.

With winds shifted out of the north ahead of the low, Juneau has
the greatest potential for cold air to filter in and keep snow
going into the evening. Also think that rates will help change
things back to snow even if precip starts as rain. Greatest rates
and therefore lowest visibility will again be after 3pm during the
evening commute, so a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for 2-6
inches. Please see the latest statement for more details. Precip
will taper off in the late evening along with more rain mixing in
or a change to all rain as the frontal trough passes and winds
shift to the south. The timing of the wind shift will mean
temperatures warming through the night and even near sea level in
Haines/Skagway should warm above freezing overnight.

The third in the series of fronts will be on our doorstep
Wednesday morning and could be another repeat, but with snow
levels slightly further north to start.

.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.
