Area forecast discussion, Jan 4, 6:00 AM AKST, 14 hours 37 minutes before
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION 1100 AM AST THU JAN 4 2007 .SYNOPSIS... .SHORT RANGE...SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM POSSIBLE OVER PARTS OF SOUTHEAST ALASKA LATER TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. MORNING WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS A VERY COMPLEX UPPER AIR PATTERN OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC AND GULF OF ALASKA. THE MAIN LOW APPEARS TO BE WELL TO OUR WEST OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. THIS MAIN LOW WILL REMAIN WEST OF SOUTHEAST ALASKA AS ANOTHER WAVE DEVELOPS IN RESPONSE TO A 170 KT JET THAT IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC LATER THIS AFTERNOON. A SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL GULF BY EARLY EVENING TONIGHT AND THEN MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE OVERNIGHT. MOST OF THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PANHANDLE REGION IS BELOW FREEZING...AND LITTLE IN THE WAY OF WARMING IS EXPECTED DURING THE DAY IN SPITE OF THE PARTLY SUNNY SKIES THAT ARE BEING EXPERIENCED TODAY. A FEW SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE OVER PORTIONS OF THE AREA...BUT THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS THE LOW DEVELOPS AND MOVES CLOSER TO THE PANHANDLE. SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD BECOME MORE STRATIFORM AS A WARM ADVECTION PROFILE BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER THE AREA. THERE IS STILL SOME QUESTION AS TO IF OR WHEN SNOW WILL MIX WITH RAIN OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE AS SOME SLIGHTLY WARMER AIR TRIES TO ADVANCE NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. DUE TO THE RAPID MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT...ANY RAIN WOULD LIKELY BE SHORT LIVED AND WILL RETURN TO SNOW IN THE POST FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. SNOW WILL LIKELY BE HEAVY AT TIMES AS THE STRONG OMEGA PATTERN ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE PANHANDLE. SNOW TOTALS OF 5 TO 10 INCHES ARE VERY LIKELY BY TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE THE SYSTEM MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE WHERE THE WARMER PRE-FRONTAL AIR IS LEAST LIKELY TO OCCUR. THE STRONGEST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM LOOK TO BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE PANHANDLE. THE LOW IS LIKELY TO BE WEAKER THAN CYCLONES WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST WEEK OR TWO SO DONT EXPECT TO SEE STORM FORCE WINDS ALTHOUGH GALES ARE LIKELY OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OUTER WATERS AND PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN INNER WATERS. WIND ADVISORIES LOOK TO BE NEEDED FOR AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM SITKA TO ANGOON TO WRANGELL. .LONG RANGE...GFS AND EUROPEAN CONSENSUS IS GOOD...AND THEY ARE DROPPING THE WHOLE POLAR FRONT ZONE AT LEAST 3 DEG LATITUDE THIS WEEKEND THROUGH TUE. ARCTIC OUTBREAK FOR BEGINNING MON NIGHT AND TUE ALSO HAS STRONGER PRESSURE GRADIENTS AND WILL BE USED FROM THE NEW 40 KM GRIDS. GFS MOS TEMPS WILL BE USED BEYOND DAY THREE. .AJK...WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES PUBLIC...HEAVY SNOW WARNING NOON TODAY TO 9 PM TONIGHT AKZ024-026 HEAVY SNOW WARNING 3 PM TODAY TO 3 AM FRI AKZ019>022-025 HEAVY SNOW WARNING NOON TODAY TO 6 AM FRI AKZ029 SNOW ADVISORY 6 PM TONIGHT TO 6 AM THU AKZ018 SNOW ADVISORY NOON TODAY TO 6 PM TONIGHT AKZ023-027-028 MARINE...GALE WARNING PKZ036-041>043-310 SCA PKZ012-021-022-031>035-051-052 MLR JT
