SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
228 PM AKST SUN JAN 30 2011
.SHORT TERM...THE LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE PANHANDLE
MOSTLY CLEAR OF ANY CLOUDS BUT THERE IS A LARGE AREA OF CLOUDS
OVER THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN GULF. THESE CLOUDS ARE ASSOCIATED
WITH A TROF OF LOW PRESSURE LIFTING NORTH OVER THE CENTRAL GULF
THIS AFTERNOON. THESE CLOUDS WILL SLOWLY MOVE OVER THE PANHANDLE
THROUGH LATE TONIGHT AS THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN GULF
SLIDES TO THE EAST AND THE ONSHORE FLOW INCREASES. THE TROF WILL
BE WEAKENING AS IT DRIFTS NORTH SO THE PANHANDLE WILL REMAIN ON
THE DRY SIDE THROUGH TONIGHT. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SOME SNOW OVER THE FAR NORTHERN GULF LATE TONIGHT AS THE UPPER
TROF LIFTS OVER HEAD. CURRENTLY THERE IS SOME WINDS OVER THE
INNER CHANNELS MAINLY NEAR PAGY WITH GUSTS TI 40 MPH AND MIN
SMALL CRAFT WINDS OVER THE WATER. THESE WINDS WILL SLOWLY
DIMINISH THROUGH THIS EVENING AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM
TESLIN TO SKAGWAY RELAXES.
THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC EXTENDING NORTH OVER THE
PANHANDLE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD THROUGH MON AFTERNOON. AS THIS
HIGH BUILD IT WILL PUSH A SLUG OF VERY WARM AND MOIST FRONT
NORTHWARD THROUGH MON. THE FRONT WILL INCREASE THE THREAT OF
PRECIP MAINLY OVER THE COASTAL AREAS AND OVER THE NORTHERN GULF
WITH STRONG MID LEVEL LIFTING AND DYNAMICS. AS THE PRECIP STARTS
IT WILL BE IN THE FROZEN FORM BUT TEMPS WILL RISE THROUGH THE DAY
ALONG WITH THE WET BULB TO MIX WITH RAIN LATE MON AFTERNOON.
THERE WILL NOT BE THAT SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS BUT IF THERE IS
A LAG IN WHEN THE SOUTHEAST WINDS INCREASE THERE MAYBE PLACES
OVER THE SOUTHERN AREAS THAT MAY GET A FEW INCHES.
THE STRONG WARM FRONT WILL INCREASE THE WINDS OVER THE GULF TO
MAX GALE FROM THE SE BY MON AFTERNOON. THE STRONGEST WINDS OVER
LAND WILL BE ALONG THE SOUTHERN COASTAL AREAS WITH GUSTS TO
35 MPH DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE WARM FRONT APPROACHES.
THERE WILL ALSO BE STRONG WINDS FROM THE EAST AND WILL LIMIT THE
NORTHWARD MOVEMENT OF PRECIP. SO THERE WILL BE SOME STRONG WINDS
FROM INTERIOR PASSES OVER THE INNER CHANNELS. FOR THE MOST PART
WINDS WILL BE LESS THAN 15 KT FROM THE NORTH OVER THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE PANHANDLE WITH A BIT STRONGER IN THE CENTRAL BUT
20 KT OF LESS. SEAS OVER THE GULF WILL BUILD TO BE IN THE MID
TEENS AS THERE IS VERY LONG SOUTH FETCH TOO ALLOW THE SWELL TO
BUILD.
THERE IS ABOUT AVERAGE FORECASTER CONFIDENCE FOR THE NEXT 24HRS.
.LONG TERM...ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE AREA DURING MUCH OF
THE UPCOMING WEEK. LARGE SCALE RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE FAR ERN
PAC AND EXTEND INTO NW CANADA THRU MUCH OF THE PERIOD...WHILE
SEVERAL SYSTEMS MOVE NNE INTO THE GULF. MODELS DIFFER SOME ON
TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEMS TO SOME DEGREE...BUT OVERALL IT
IS EXPECTED TO BE A WET AND MILD WEEK. ATTM...MADE MOST CHANGES TO
THE MON NIGHT INTO TUE PERIOD...AND LEFT TUE NIGHT ON OUT PRETTY
MUCH AS IS EXCEPT DID BUMP TEMPS UP TUE NIGHT. USED THE 12Z ECMWF
FOR THE MON NIGHT/TUE MORNING PERIOD.
WARM FRONT/INVERTED TROF WILL BE MOVING NWD THRU THE GULF MON
NIGHT. MOST PRECIP AND WINDS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE OVER THE
GULF AND PAYA ZONES...BUT SOME PRECIP SHOULD OCCUR OVER THE MAIN
PANHANDLE AS WELL. BIGGER IMPACT IS EXPECTED WARMING TREND...WITH
TEMPS LIKELY RISING MON NIGHT INTO TUE MORNING. MAY HAVE SOME
SNOW DURING FIRST FEW HRS OF PRECIP BUT IT SHOULD GO OVER TO RAIN
DURING MON NIGHT. THE FAR NRN AREA MAY SEE A MORE PROLONGED
SNOWFALL AS THEY ARE IN DEEPER COLD AIR ATTM AND WILL PROBABLY
TAKE UNTIL DAYBREAK TUE TO MIX OR CHANGE TO RAIN. SNOW AMOUNTS
WILL BE TRICKY THOUGH WITH BEST LIFT LIKELY TO REMAIN TO THEIR
WEST...SO WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES FOR THE
PAHN AND PAGY AREAS MON NIGHT. IF CURRENT FORECAST IS CORRECT
WILL PROBABLY NEED WINTER WEATHER ADVY FOR THEN. STRONG WARM
ADVECTION MON NIGHT WILL PREVENT MUCH MIX DOWN OF STRONGER FLOW
ALOFT AND WILL NOT BE PUTTING OUT ANY PUBLIC WIND HEADLINES ATTM.
WILL HAVE GALES FOR MUCH OF THE GULF HOWEVER NEARER THE WARM
FRONT/INVERTED TROF AXIS MON NIGHT INTO TUE MORNING AT LEAST.
FURTHER OUT...DETAILS BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN
DUE TO THE MODEL DIFFERENCES...SO OTHER THAN THE UPWARD NUDGE TO
TEMPS TUE NIGHT WILL BE KEEPING FORECAST AS IS FROM TUE NIGHT ON
OUT. MAY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT POSSIBLE COASTAL FLOODING ISSUE
AROUND PAYA LATER TUE INTO WED DURING HIGH TIDE AS FAIRLY STRONG
LONG FETCH ONSHORE LOW LEVEL FLOW MAY PILE WATER UP OVER THE NE
GULF COASTAL AREA...AND TIDES WILL BE NEAR THEIR MAX IN CURRENT
TIDAL CYCLE DURING THE TUE/WED PERIOD. THIS WILL ULTIMATELY
DEPEND ON HOW STRONG ANY SFC LOW WILL BE AS IT TRACKS NWD TO THE
W OF THE AREA. STAY TUNED...
