Area forecast discussion, Jan 1, 2:43 PM AKST, 1 hour 17 minutes before
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
243 PM AKST FRI JAN 1 2010
.SHORT TERM...GOES VISIBLE AS WELL AS WEB CAMERAS SHOW OUR
FORECAST AREAS ARE ALMOST ALL CLEAR. AN ARCTIC OUTFLOW FROM
CANADA WILL GENERALLY PERSIST IN THE INNER CHANNELS EXCEPT FOR IN
SRN SE AK WHERE A LOW 300 NM S OF PAKT HAS AIDED THE N OUTFLOW
BUT WILL MAKE LANDFALL AND WEAKEN TONIGHT. CHANGES TO THE
FORECASTS ARE SMALL, PRIMARILY THE LOWERING THE OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES. THE NAM IS THE PRIMARY MODEL USED AND THE
CONFIDENCE IS GOOD.
THE LAST LARGE CLOUD MASS WAS OVER THE SRN PANHANDLE BUT IS
DISSIPATING AT THIS TIME AS AN ASSOCIATED 996 MB LOW MAKES
LANDFALL ABOUT 300 NM SSE OF PAKT ABOUT 00Z.
THE ARCTIC AIRMASS IS DEEP WITH THE TOP OF THE INVERSION AT 820
MB ON THE 12Z CYXY RAOB. THE DENSITY GRADIENT FOR WINDS AVAILABLE
FOR THE OUTFLOW FROM Y.T. AND NRN B.C. IS CLOSE TO STEADY STATE.
THE LARGEST CHANGE IN WINDS WILL BE A DIMINISHING TREND IN THE
MISTY FJORDS ZONE LATE TONIGHT AS IT SHOULD DROP BELOW WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA, AND THIS CHANGE IS DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE LOW
PRESSURE CENTER TO THE S.
&&
.LONG TERM...MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THE MAIN FEATURES.
WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A BUILDING RIDGE RIDGE ALOFT WITH HIGH
PRESSURE OVER NORTHWEST CANADA SUNDAY INTO EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK. A FAIRLY BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS QUASI STATIONARY
SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
FROM ABOUT SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY EVENING OR SO USED THE 12Z
NAM SOLUTION TO ADJUST GRIDS...AND THEN A BLEND OF THE ECMWF AND
HPC GUIDANCE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIODS. I THINK
THAT OVERALL CHANGES WERE MINIMAL TO THE FORECAST PACKAGE.
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY THERE ARE SOME SMALL FEATURES THAT ARE ROTATING
NORTHWARD OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTION OF THE GULF. EXPECT
VERY LIGHT IF ANY PRECIPITATION OVER SOUTHEAST ALASKA PANHANDLE
BUT A BETTER CHANCE OVER THE CENTRAL GULF COAST FROM YAKUTAT
WESTWARD MAINLY.
IN LONG RANGE PORTION THE MODELS STATING TO INDICATE THAT THE
THERE IS A LOW DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY ROTATE INTO THE CENTRAL GULF AT
THE END OF NEXT WEEK. HPC GUIDANCE KEPT THE LOW MORE IN THE
CENTRAL GULF THAN SOME OF THE OPERATIONAL MODEL SOLUTIONS SO WILL
BE WATCHING THE SITUATION.
