SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
1255 PM AKST SAT FEB 28 2009

.SHORT TERM...LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE MAJORITY OF THE
PANHANDLE UNDER MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. SUNNY CONDITIONS EXIST
BETWEEN PAGY AND PAGN. HOWEVER...CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY ERODE AS
HIGH CLOUDS MOVE IN FROM THE WEST AND MID CLOUDS MOVE UP FROM THE
SOUTH. WINDS ACROSS SE AK WERE LIGHT AND THE ONLY PRECIP REPORTED
WAS IN THE FORM OF SNOW SHOWERS AROUND PANT.

THE FIRST SYSTEM TO TALK ABOUT IS A SHORT WAVE THAT WILL MOVE
OVER THE TOP OF THE UPR RIDGE TONIGHT. THIS IS THE SAME RIDGE THAT
HAS BEEN IN PLACE OVER THE NW GULF THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. AS THE
TROUGH DIGS SE ACROSS THE E GULF INTO THE N PAC...A WEAK SFC LOW
WILL DEVELOP IN THE NW GULF AND QUICKLY DISSIPATE SUN AFTERNOON.
DUE TO ITS LOCATION AND PATH...ONLY EXPECT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF
UP TO AN INCH NEAR PAYA AND LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATION SPREADING
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES.

THE SECOND SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO HAVE MORE OF AN IMPACT DURING
THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST PERIOD THOUGH THINGS DO
GET STARTED AT THE END OF THE SHORT TERM SUNDAY AFTERNOON. A LOW
OVER THE NE PAC WILL SEND A FRONTAL BAND N ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
ZONES SUN AFTERNOON. TEMPS SHOULD KEEP PRECIP IN THE FORM OF RAIN.
HOWEVER SNOW WILL BE MORE LIKELY NEAR HYDER AS COLD AIR REMAINS
ENTRENCHED. SNOW ACCUMULATION EXPECTED TO BE UP TO AN INCH NEAR
HYDER.

WINDS WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY LIGHT THROUGH SUN. HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE INTERIOR/YUKON BUILDS SOUTHWARD SUN. THIS COMBINED WITH
THE NORTHWARD MOVING LOW IN THE N PAC WILL INCREASE THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES. AS SUCH...EXPECT TO SEE SMALL
CRAFT CONDITIONS ALONG THE NORTHERN INNER CHANNELS SUN.

MODEL CONSENSUS REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH SUN. AFTER
TALKING THE PAFC...USED A 50/50 BLEND OF THE 12Z GFS AND NAM TO
MAKE MINOR CHANGES TO THE GRIDS. FORECASTER CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.

&&

.LONG TERM...MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH A DEEP UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF AND
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FROM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE GULF
THROUGH FRIDAY. THEN THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES
INTO THE NORTHERN GULF SATURDAY AFTERNOON. UPPER LEVEL MODEL
CONSENSUS REVELS A CUT-OFF LOW SOUTH OF THE DEEP SHORTWAVE TROUGH
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING. UNDERNEATH THE CUT-OFF LOW...A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER
NORTHEAST PACIFIC...MOVING NORTH INTO THE SOUTHEAST GULF WITH A
SECONDARY LOW FORMING OVER THE NORTHERN GULF UNDERNEATH THE
MIGRATING UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THE SOUTHERN LOW WILL WEAKEN
WEDNESDAY AND DISSIPATE. THIS ALLOWS THE NORTHERN LOW MOVES
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE PANHANDLE INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA COASTS
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. BLENDED THE INHERITED GRIDS WITH 50/50 OF
THE 00Z ECMWF AND 12Z GFS40 TO KEEP THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN
IN THE MIDDLE POSITION THROUGH SATURDAY.

AS MENTIONED IN THE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...THE DEVELOPING LOW IN
THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE A FETCH AREA
WITH LONG PERIOD OF SOUTH SWELLS ACROSS THE OFFSHORE AND OUTSIDE
WATERS THROUGH THURSDAY. AS THE LOW MOVES NORTH...A WARM FRONT
WILL DRIFT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
WITH A WEAK OVER-RUNNING EVENT...EXPECT 2 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW
ACROSS SOUTHEAST PANHANDLE. WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO
MAKE SNOW MIXING WITH RAIN...EXCEPT NEAR HYDER. AS THIS LOW
WEAKENS AND DISSIPATES WEDNESDAY...THE LOW IN THE NORTHERN GULF
WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE PANHANDLE THURSDAY THEN MOVE INTO
BRITISH COLUMBIA COASTS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. MODERATE
OFFSHORE FLOW WILL WEAKEN LATE TUESDAY ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS
NORTH OF THE LOW DRIFTING NORTH ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC.
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN TIGHT ENOUGH TO GENERATE 30 TO 35
KNOTS NORTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW ACROSS NORTHERN INSIDE CHANNELS
UNTIL THE HIGH PRESSURE OVER WESTERN YUKON WEAKENS AND MOVES
NORTHEAST EARLY MONDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE...ONSHORE FLOW WILL
CONTINUE AS THE SOUTHERN LOW WEAKENS AND DRIFTS INTO BRITISH
COLUMBIA COASTS THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. AS THE LOW IN THE
NORTHERN GULF MOVES ACROSS THE PANHANDLE AND INTO DIXON
ENTRANCE...WINDS WILL DIMINISH ACROSS THE PANHANDLE THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WEEK.

.AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR PKZ011>013.
