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 Feb 4, 2:32 PM AKST, 13 hours 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 4, 2:32 PM AKST, 13 hours 22 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
232 PM AKST Thu Feb 4 2021

.SHORT TERM...The jet stream and a surface low passing through
Dixon Entrance continues to advect clouds and moisture over the
southern panhandle today. Low clouds lingered over the northern
inner channels with some brief flurries/drizzle observed. Most of
this moisture will shift southward through the night as a polar
jet streak pushes SE over the region. This will bring in another
round of cold/dry air. Meanwhile, building surface high pressure
over the northern interior will keep north winds going through the
inner channels with higher gusts likely out of interior passes.
The southern areas look to have lighter winds by Friday morning
and after rain on top of snow today, will be a good scenario for
fog.

A new low looks to track across the gulf on Friday, brining snow and
rain showers to the region starting late Friday afternoon. Flow
aloft continues to show the polar stream, but this also merges with
a warmer jet out of the SW. Latest models have shifted the surface
low track to be more in line with the SW jet, which changes the
timing and trajectory of showers for the panhandle. Previously the
low tracked from NW to SE, giving snow showers to Yakutat first. Now
the low takes a bee line for the southern half of the panhandle,
giving very little precip to the north at all. In both cases, the
low shifts ESE away from the area through early Saturday. The ECMWF
and Canadian held on to some remnant showers the longest associated
with a low over the northern gulf. Have gone with a blend of these
options for POP, with more weight on the SW track. But due to models
shifting track from day to day, there is lower forecast
confidence in this part of the forecast.

.LONG TERM.../Saturday through Thursday night/...The extended
forecast starts with a system moving through the panhandle.
Though the system no longer looks as impressive as it did in
previous runs, do still expect that much of the panhandle,
including Juneau, will see some accumulating snow. Given the
cooler air in place for much of the system, the big question will
be how high the snow ratio will be. Chose to lean towards a 15:1
to 20:1 snow ratio, given the cooler weather involved. This
system will quickly move out of the panhandle, and by the second
half of Saturday, large parts of the area may already be drying
out. A dry spell will then dominate, driven by broad outflow
winds, before another system moves in from the NW. Increasing
indications that this system may in part stay offshore, and so
have reduced POPs for the area through Monday and Tuesday as a
result. Afterwards, ensemble spread rapidly increases, and the
forecast becomes more and more uncertain. While previous runs had
hinted at a warmer week ahead, it is now looking increasingly
likely that next week will be on the cooler side.
