SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
1100 AM AST TUE DEC 25 2007

.SYNOPSIS...

.SHORT RANGE...FRONTAL BAND FROM LAST NIGHTS STORM FINISHED
MOVING THROUGH SOUTHEAST ALASKA... JUST THE REMNANTS AND SHOWER
POCKETS SPREADING INTO THE AREAS. THE LOW ITSELF IS TRACKING EAST
ACROSS THE GULF OF ALASKA AND PRESENTLY ABOUT 200 NM SOUTH OF
CAPE SUCKLING.  THERE LOOKS TO BE AN AREA OF SHOWERS ON THE
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE FEATURE THAT SHOULD SPREAD INTO THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE COASTAL AREA THIS EVENING. THE SURFACE LOW
SHOULD MOVE ONSHORE AROUND THE SITKA REGION OVERNIGHT WITH A WEAK
TROUGH EXTENDING BACK TO THE NORTHWEST OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA.

THE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST GULF INTO SOUTHEAST ALASKA HANGS
ROUND THROUGH WEDNESDAY BUT THE NEXT SYSTEM IS STARTING TO TRY
AND IMPACT THE FAR WESTERN GULF THEN. FOR MORE DETAILS SEE LONG
RANGE.

CURRENT SNOW WARNING FOR THE HAINES HIGHWAY SHOULD BE ENDING OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

SHOWERS DIMINISHING GENERALLY IS THE FORECAST THROUGH
WEDNESDAY... WITH RAIN OVER THE SOUTH AND RAIN WITH SOME SNOW
OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NORTH PARTS... WHILE THE FAR NORTH
WILL LIKELY BE SNOW WITH SOME RAIN.

WINDS FOR THE MOST PART ALSO SETTLED DOWN FAIRLY WELL BUT THERE
IS A BRISK WEST-NORTH ON THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THE LOW
MOVING TO THE EASTERN GULF.  MAX SMALL CRAFTS TO MIN GALES FOR
041 AND 42 AND THE OFFSHORE... BUT DONT THINK AT THIS TIME IT
WILL MEAN WIND ADVISORY FOR THE ZONE 27 AREA.

.LONG RANGE...THE PARENT LOW IN THE BERING SEA HAS MANY VARIATIONS
ON A LARGE SCALE THROUGH DAY SEVEN...BUT IS STILL USEABLE AS THE
MAIN FEATURE FOR THE TROUGHS ALOFT DISCUSSED BELOW.  CHANGES TO
THE LONG RANGE FORECAST PKG WILL BE SMALL.

MOST IMPORTANT SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURE BEING STUDIED FOR EARLY IN
THE LONG RANGE IS THE TROUGH ALFT EXTENDING ESE FM OVR COLD BAY
WED NIGHT. MODEL CONSENSUS IS GOOD AT 00Z THU BUT AVN BECOMES
SLOWER THAN OTHER MODEL SOLUTIONS BY 12Z THU.  THE MATURING
OCCLUSION SUPPORTED BY THIS TROUGH ALF HAS A ZONALLY TRACKING
TRIPLE PT TO TRACK ONSHORE B.C. COAST ABT 00Z FRI.  WHEN MODEL
SOLUTIONS FOR SUCH WAVE TRACKS SPREAD OUT THERE IS A TENDENCY
FOR MORE MODELS TO BE TOO FAST THAN TOO SLOW...AT LEAST IN CASES
SUCH AS THIS WHEN THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL WAVES FOLLOWING THAT
ARE CLOSE COUPLED.  ALL THIS TO SAY THE AVN 12Z WILL BE FACTORED
IN TO THE GRIDS.

SECOND SYNOPTIC SCALE TROUGH ALF WILL SUPPORT A DEVELOPING WAVE
THAT ALSO TRACKS ONSHORE THE B.C. COAST...AND DO SO ABT 00Z SUN.
MODEL SOLNS FOR THIS SECOND WV ARE ALSO SPREAD OUT WITH GFS STILL
USED AS GUIDANCE BUT MORE CLIMATE FACTORED IN.
