Area forecast discussion, Mar 7, 3:44 PM AKST, 16 minutes before
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
344 PM AKST MON MAR 7 2011
.SHORT TERM...THE LOW THAT HAS BEEN HANGING OUT IN THE SW GULF
FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS DISSIPATED AWAY. IS HAS BEEN REPLACED
BY A NEW LOW THAT IS SLOWLY DRIFTING INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF AT
THE MOMENT. THE PANHANDLE ITSELF IS ENJOYING MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES
AND LIGHT TO BREEZY CONDITIONS. THE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS ARE THE
SOUTHERN PANHANDLE WHERE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE THE RULE FROM A
DYING FRONT, AND SKAGWAY WHERE WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING TO 40 MPH
MOST OF THE DAY.
FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW, THE WINDS AT SKAGWAY ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN AT OR ABOVE ADVISORY UNTIL THIS EVENING WHEN THE
NORTHEASTERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD WEAKEN. WINDS IN OTHER
AREAS WILL BE SMALL CRAFT OR LESS WITH SOME HIGHER GUSTS EXPECTED
OUT OF INTERIOR PASSES LIKE TAKU INLET, AND LYNN CANAL WHERE THE
LINGERING PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE COAST MOUNTAINS WILL KEEP
THE WIND BLOWING.
THE DRY AND MOSTLY CLEAR WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NORTHERN
PANHANDLE THROUGH TOMORROW BUT INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS MAY MOVE IN
FROM THE SOUTH TOMORROW. FARTHER SOUTH, CLOUDS WILL LINGER AND
EVEN THICKEN TOMORROW AS A TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
THE FEATURE WILL BE WEAKENING AS IT COMES SINCE IT WILL BE MOVING
INTO A REGION OF DIVERGENCE. STILL HAVE AT LEAST A CHANCE OF
PRECIP FOR THE SOUTHERN ZONES TOMORROW. ANY SNOW WILL MOST LIKELY
NOT ACCUMULATION MUCH AND IT SHOULD BE TOO WARM FOR SNOW ANYWAY
BY THE AFTERNOON.
MODEL AGREEMENT WAS NOT TOO BAD THIS MORNING. THERE WERE A FEW
DIFFERENCES IN THE HANDLING OF THE LOW IN THE NORTHERN PACIFIC,
NAMELY WITH LOW STRENGTH. NAM DIDN'T LOOK TO BAD BUT SOME OF THE
OTHER MODELS WERE JUST A BIT TOO STRONG. DECIDED TO STICK WITH
THE NAM FOR FORECAST UPDATES THIS MORNING. DUE TO GOOD
INITIALIZATION AND THE DETAILS THAT IT PROVIDES IN THE PANHANDLE.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE.
.LONG TERM...THE FORECAST MODEL ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH MOST
OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD WITH A FEW DIFFERENCES IN THE UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN OVER THE WEEKEND THAT LEADS TO MODERATE SPREAD IN ENSEMBLE
MEANS. THE OPERATIONAL GFS WAS AN OUTLIER IN DRIFTING THE UPPER
HIGH OVER THE BERING FURTHER EAST THAN THEN EC AND ENSEMBLE MEANS.
ALSO THE 12Z EC CAME IN MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE LIFTING PRECIP THE
NORTH-CENTRAL INNER CHANNELS LATE IN THE WEEK. SO WITH THAT SAID
USED A BLEND OF THE 12Z NAM DUE THE BETTER RESOLUTION IN THE WINDS
AND THE 00Z EC FOR THE EXTENDED PERIODS REFRESHED THE FORECAST
WITH THE NEW HPC FORECAST. THERE IS ABOUT AVERAGE FORECASTER
CONFIDENCE THROUGH THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD A WEAK TROF OVER LOW PRESSURE
WILL BE LIFTING OVER THE FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE PANHANDLE.
THIS TROF WILL LIKELY PRODUCE SOME LIGHT PREICP WITH SOME AREAS
SEEING SOME MIXED RAIN AND SNOW. ATTM IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT WILL
SHEAR APART AS THE HIGH IN THE YUKON REBUILDS AND INCREASE THE
NORTHERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT. AS A RESULT THE STRONG NORTHERLY
WINDS WILL RETURN TO THE INNER CHANNELS WITH GALES DEVELOPING
THROUGH TUE NIGHT AND WIND ADVY LEVEL GUSTS NEAR INTERIOR PASSES
AND THROUGH WED OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREAS.
THESE CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST INTO THURSDAY AND POSSIBLE INTO THE
WEEKEND ALSO WITH THE COLDER AIR ADVECTING OVER THE AREA THE
THREAT OF FREEZING SPRAY WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE WEEK. ANOTHER
LOW WILL LIFT OUT OF THE PACIFIC OVER THE WEEKEND TO KEEP A STRONG
NORTHERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT AND INCREASE THE THREAT OF PRECIP OVER
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. THERE WILL SOME CAA THROUGH THE
WEEK SO THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SOME SNOW AND RAIN WITH MINOR
ACCUMULATIONS ATTM BUT THAT CAN CHANGE WITH TIME.
THE SURFACE HIGH OVER THE YUKON WILL SLIDE INTO BC LATE IN THE
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND SO THE STRONG WINDS FROM INTERIOR PASSES
WILL PERSIST OVER THE MARINE AND AGAIN POSSIBLE OVER LAND.
