What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this blizzard warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Fairbanks, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Dec 31, 5:21 AM AKST, 8 hours 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 31, 5:21 AM AKST, 8 hours 48 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
521 AM AKST Sun Dec 31 2023

.SYNOPSIS...

Strong easterly winds will impact the North Slope, West Coast, and
parts of the Interior for much of this week starting Monday
morning. Expect blowing snow and snow drifts to form along the
North Slope, West Coast, and Interior summits. A series of lows
will bring snow and blowing snow to parts of the West Coast,
primarily south of the Seward Peninsula, for much of this week.
Blizzard conditions possible along parts of the West Coast getting
snow and along the North Slope Monday through Thursday. Colder
temperatures in valleys are expected to warm as winds pick up.

.DISCUSSION...

Aloft...

A weak upper low that brought snow to the Interior is now
weakening and moving off into Canada. Ridging building over the
Interior on Sun and persisting into Monday. Strong high pressure
begins to build over the high Arctic Sunday and lingers over the
Arctic for much of the week. A strong low moves into Bristol Bay
on Monday, followed by another strong low on Wednesday. Strong
downsloping will set up over the Alaska Range Tuesday evening into
Wednesday. Models in good agreement in the short term, as well as
showing strong winds setting up over the north slope Monday
through Thursday.

West Coast and Western Interior...

A strong low will bring snow and blowing snow to the Yukon Delta
area on Monday. Winds begin to ramp up over the Yukon Delta and
Saint Lawrence Island late Monday afternoon. Winter Storm watches
are in in effect for these areas. A second, stronger storm will
move into the southern Bering Sea late Tuesday, and reinforce
strong easterly winds from the Yukon Delta north to Point Hope
through Thursday. There is uncertainty in the details for this
storm although wind gusts in excess of 60 mph are possible in some
places with large snow drift formation possible.A third system is
possible late next week.

Central and Eastern Interior...

The weak upper level low that brought snow to the Interior is
winding down. Cancelled the advisories for the Interior. The
wind advisory is still in effect for the Eastern Alaska Range
north of Trims Camp through Today. Temperatures should cool again
behind the snow as skies clear. Winds will diminish some over
Interior Summits on Sunday and much of the day on Monday then
strong easterly winds will develop late Monday night and continue
into Wednesday over much of the Interior Summits due to a strong
pressure gradient over much of the state. Blowing snow and low
visibility will impact the Dalton Highway once again. The Tanana
Valley Jet will also become strong and winds will increase again
in the Alaska Range.

North Slope and Brooks Range...

Strong easterly winds begin to develop along the
western Arctic coast from Point lay west tonight and along the
rest of the Arctic coast by Tuesday morning. These winds will
strengthen Tuesday and Wednesday as the pressure gradient along
the North Slope and West Coast increases. Low visibility due to
blowing snow and low wind chills are a concern. Winter storm
watches have been issued for the North Slope for winds gusts
possibly exceeding 60 mph, blizzard conditions, and wind chills as
low as -60.

Extended Forecast Days 4-8...

The strong Arctic high that is forming this weekend will peak
Wednesday and weaken considerably Thursday and Friday. Sustained
gale-force easterly winds with gusts higher than 60mph expected
along the Arctic Coast Tuesday and Wednesday. The strongest winds
will be along the Beaufort sea coast from Kaktovik to Utqiagvik.
Blowing snow will reduce visibility with blizzard like conditions
possible. Along the West Coast easterly winds gusting up to 45
mph are possible with the highest winds being through the Kotzebue
Sound and the Norton Sound into St. Lawrence Island. Intermittent
snowfall is expected along the West Coast with higher
accumulations in the Yukon Delta and blowing snow reducing
visibility.

Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...Sustained gale-force and
possibly storm-force easterly winds along the Beaufort Sea coast
from Barter Island to Utqiagvik with gusts in excess of 60 mph are
possible Tuesday through Thursday. Along the West Coast easterly
winds gusting up to 45 mph are possible with the strongest winds
through the Kotzebue and Norton Sounds and into St. Lawrence
Island.
