SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
547 AM AKST SUN NOV 2 2008
.SYNOPSIS...A 980 MB LOW JUST SOUTH OF THE QUEEN CHARLOTTES EARLY
THIS MORNING WILL MOVE NORTH AND WEAKEN. THIS LOW WILL BE NEAR
SITKA TONIGHT AND NORTH OF THE PANHANDLE EARLY MONDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM...AT 1300 UTC LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A
COMPLEX DUAL CENTERED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE BRITISH
COLUMBIA AND SOUTHEAST ALASKA OUTER COASTAL WATERS. THE NORTHERN
LOW CENTER IS LOCATED ABOUT 75 NM WEST OF SITKA AND IS WEAKENING
RAPIDLY WHILE MOVING TO THE NORTHWEST. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS NEAR
THE LOW REPORT 20 TO 30 KT WINDS BUT ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH
TODAY AS THE LOW WEAKENS.
A STRONGER 980 MB LOW TO THE SOUTH IS ABOUT 120 NM WEST OF CWZV
AND IS MOVING NORTHWARD. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY CLOSE AGREEMENT THAT
THE LOW WILL MOVE OVER SOUTHERN SOUTHEAST ALASKA BY 0000 UTC
MONDAY AND THEN WEAKEN TO A TROUGH WHILE CONTINUING NORTHWARD.
WINDS WILL SHIFT STRONGLY TO THE WEST OR SOUTHWEST BEHIND THE LOW
INCREASING TO GALES OVER THE OUTSIDE COASTAL WATERS SOUTH OF CAPE
EDGECUMBE. WINDS IN THE CENTRAL PANHANDLE WILL SHIFT FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH AS THE TROUGH PASSES TONIGHT REACHING THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE
LATE.
RAIN BANDS SPIRALING AROUND THE LOW COMPLEX WILL MOVE THROUGH
SOUTHEAST ALASKA TODAY. RAIN WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AS THE
SECOND LOW NEARS EARLY TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE FREEZING
NEAR SEA LEVEL IN NORTHERN INTERIOR SECTIONS...BUT NORTHERLY WINDS
WILL MAINTAIN SOME COOLER OUTFLOW WITH SNOW ALONG THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE HIGHWAYS THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY.
&&
.LONG TERM...THE 00Z MODELS ARE FAIRLY IN LINE WITH A SERIES OF
UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE PASSING ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF AND
SOUTHEAST ALASKA THROUGH THE END OF LONG RANGE FORECAST PERIOD.
THE GFS SHOWS A BETTER RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY THAN OTHER MODELS.
THE GFS AND NAM HAVE TRENDED BROADER AND WEAKER LOW OVER NORTHERN
GULF AND NORTHERN HALF OF THE PANHANDLE ON MONDAY AND CONTINUED
WEAKENING THE BROAD LOW AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING...IN WHICH
TIME A DEVELOPING LOW IN THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC ENTERS THE
