Area forecast discussion, Oct 24, 12:58 PM AKDT, 16 hours 32 minutes before

SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
1258 PM AKDT SAT OCT 24 2009

.SHORT TERM...EARLY AFTERNOON SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS A DRIFTING
LOW IN THE NORTHEASTERN GULF WITH ASSOCIATED OCCLUSION MOVING
ACROSS THE PANHANDLE. A TRIPLE POINT OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS
PASSING OVER CAPE SPENCER AND SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS RAIN SHOWERS
ARE OCCURRING ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PANHANDLE. A RIDGE
DRIFTING EASTWARD ACROSS COAST MOUNTAIN PRODUCES BREEZY TO
LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS OVER THE NORTHERN INNER CHANNELS. THE
INTENSITY OF THE LOW APPEARS TOO WEAK TO PRODUCE ADVISORY LEVEL
WIND GUSTS FOR NORTHERN AND CENTRAL COASTAL AREAS THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING HOURS. THE PROXIMITY AND TRACKING OF THE LOW ALSO
APPEAR NOT TO LEAD ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS. THUS CANCELED THE WIND
ADVISORY FOR ZONES 17...22 AND 23.

MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE LOW NEAR MIDDLETON
ISLAND THIS EVENING CONTINUING TO MOVE NORTHWARD AND INLAND BY
EARLY TONIGHT. ANOTHER LOW IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL GULF WILL MOVE
RAPIDLY NORTHEASTWARD TO THE NORTHEASTERN GULF THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT WITH ASSOCIATED WEATHER FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF
AND SOUTHEAST ALASKA. THIS LOW WILL INTENSIFY QUICKLY AS IT MOVES
ACROSS THE GULF TONIGHT. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED WITH
THE SYSTEM ACROSS THE FORECAST DOMAIN LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY.
TIGHTENING EAST-WEST PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP ADVISORY LEVEL
WIND GUSTS BEGINNING OVER THE SOUTHERN COASTAL AREAS TONIGHT AND
SPREAD NORTH TO COVER THE CENTRAL COASTAL SECTIONS THROUGH MIDDAY
SUNDAY. GALE FORCE WINDS WITH ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN OUTSIDE WATERS AND INNER CHANNELS WITH OCEAN ENTRANCES.
SMALL CRAFT WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE INNER CHANNELS.

.LONG TERM...PROGRESSIVE HI AMPLITUDE PATTERN DEPICTED IN GLOBAL
MODELS FOR LONG RANGE. THIS MEANS TRANSITIONS FROM TROUGH TO RIDGE
TO TROUGH NEXT WEEK. TIMING OF THE TRANSITIONS HAS BEEN
INCONSISTENT BETWEEN MODELS PAST FEW DAYS. THE MOST BASIC EFFECT
BY OPERATIONAL GFS IS WET START TO WEEK THEN H5 RIDGING OVER GULF
STARTING ABOUT THUR AND INCREASING COOL/DRY OFFSHORE FLOW. THE GFS
ENSEMBLE MEAN PROGRESSES SAME UPPER RIDGE INLAND TO ROCKIES BY FRI
AND MORE WET SW FLOW INTO PANHANDLE. ENSEMBLE CONFIDENCE /RMOP/ IS
HIGHEST WITH TROUGHING OVER SW CONUS RIDGING NW US/CANADA AND N
PAC TROFS OF ALEUTIANS. PREVIOUS FCSTS LEANING MORE TO GFS DUE TO
LESS RUN TO RUN VARIATION. WILL KEEP SCREAMING MESSAGE AT START OF
EXTENDED RANGE TO BE WET SUN NIGHT TURNING TO SHOWERS MONDAY.
PROBABLE SCA WINDS FROM RISING PRESSURE TENDENCY.

WITH THE 12Z ECMWF AND GFS COMING MORE INTO LINE WITH ONE ANOTHER
DID START THE TREND OF DRIER/COOLER WEATHER IN THE GRIDS DAY 5 ONWARD
TOWARD A SOLUTION MORE CONSISTENT WITH HPC GUIDANCE. WHILE
OFFSHORE FLOW AND DRIER WEATHER DOES LOOK MORE LIKELY NEAR THE END
OF THE WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND THE SOURCE REGION FOR THE COLDER
AIR REMAINS RATHER WARM FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AS TEMPERATURES
ACROSS INTERIOR ALASKA HAVE NOT COOLED TO NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL
NORMS. THEREFORE DID NOT COOL TEMPERATURES BUT A FEW DEGREES IN
EXTENDED AS OF YET. OTHERWISE CHANGES TO THE GRIDS IN THE EXTENDED
WERE MADE TOWARD HPC GUIDANCE TO INCREASE THE OFFSHORE FLOW DAY 5 ONWARD.
