Area forecast discussion, Mar 1, 3:34 PM AKST, 26 minutes before
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
334 PM AKST TUE MAR 1 2011
.SHORT TERM...SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOWING A WEAKENING
LOW OVER THE QUEEN CHARLOTTES WITH ARCTIC HIGH OVER THE YUKON.
MID LEVEL CLOUDS OVER THE GULF SHOW OUTFLOW WINDS NICELY. AS THIS
CURRENT LOW WEAKENS A SECOND LOW CURRENTLY OFF THE US WEST COAST
WILL DEEPEN TO AROUND 968 MB AND TRACK NORTHWARD TOWARD THE QUEEN
CHARLOTTES TONIGHT INTO WED. THE LOW WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES
NORTH BUT MAIN ISSUE FOR US WILL BE INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT.
TONIGHT WILL SEE A SLIGHT DECEASE IN WINDS AND OUTFLOW GUSTS,
HOWEVER THIS WILL BE FAIRLY SHORT LIVED WITH WINDS INCREASING
THROUGH THE NIGHT. THAT SAID KEPT ALL CURRENT ADVY AND WARNING AS
IS. AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES OVER WED WILL DEVELOPING
CRITICAL LEVEL ALONG WITH INVERSION AND CROSS BARRIER FLOW WHICH
WILL PRODUCE A STRONG MOUNTAIN WAVE EVENT WITH TAKU WINDS OVER
DOWNTOWN JUNEAU AND SOUTH DOUGLAS GUSTS IN THE 70 TO 90 MPH
RANGE. INNER CHANEL MARINE AREAS WILL SEE SMALL CRAFT TO GALE
FORCE WINDS INCREASING OVER NIGHT INTO WED WITH STORM FORCE WINDS
OVER NORTHERN LYNN CANAL. GUSTS FROM INTERIOR PASSES WILL
INCREASE TO 65 TO 75 KTS WED. OUTFLOW WINDS OVER SE AK COASTAL
WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AND THEN INCREASE ONLY PRECIP WILL BE SOME
SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS EVENING OVER THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE
SOUTH OF SUMNER STRAIT. EXPECTING SHOWERS TO BE SCATTERED AS
OUTFLOW WINDS HAVE BEEN SHEARING APART THE BANDS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE CURRENT LOW. SNOW TOTALS SHOULD BE LESS THAN 1 INCH. NEXT
CHANCE OF PRECIP OVER THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE WILL BE MOVING IN
WED EVENING AS THE NEXT LOW TRACKS NORTH. NAM AND EC WERE
INITIALIZING WELL WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE COAST
MOUNTAINS AND HAVE BEEN SHOWING GOOD RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY. GFS
WAS STILL SHOWING THE SAME SYNOPTIC PATTERN BUT DID NOT RESOLVE
THE COASTAL MOUNTAIN PRESSURE GRADIENT AS WELL. SOME MODEL
DISCREPANCIES WITH THE PRECIP OVER THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE AND ITS
NORTHERLY EXTENT BUT THIS WAS FAIRLY MINOR. DID SOME MINOR TWEAKS
TO THE GRIDS USING NAM AND WRF MAINLY FOR LOCAL WIND DIRECTIONS
AND SPEEDS. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE.
&&
.LONG TERM...FOCUS WAS ON THE MORE NEAR TERM AT LEAST TO THE
WEEKEND. PATTERN STILL IN THE FAIRLY STABLE SITUATION OF THERE WAS
ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS BEING DONE. WIND WARNINGS/ADVISORIES AND
THE WINTER WEATHER (FOR THE WIND CHILLS...WINDS... AND BLOWING
SNOW) FOR THE SKAGWAY WERE LEFT AS IS. LOCALLY VERY WINDY
CONDITIONS PERSISTING OVER THE NORTHERN AND COASTAL PASS AREAS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY BEFORE GRADIENTS AND THE MORE
FAVORABLE AREAS FOR THE MOUNTAIN WAVE WINDS TO WEAKEN WHERE SPEEDS
WILL LOWER TO A LESS THREATENING LEVEL.
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE A WEAK FRONT IS LIFTING NORTH INTO
THE REGION. THE SNOW HAS BEEN HINDERED BY DOWNSLOPE DRYING FLOW.
ACCUMULATIONS I THINK SHOULD BE ONLY AN INCH OR TWO FOR THE
SOUTHERN CLARENCE AND MISTY FJORD REGIONS. THIS LOW WILL DISSIPATE
AND FALL APART THROUGH THURSDAY AS IT MOVES TO THE WEST. THINK
SNOW WILL TRY TO REACH NORTH TO JUNEAU - ICY STRAIT AREA.. BUT
DOWN SLOPE WILL LIMIT PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL AS
WELL... HAVE CALLED IT A FEW FLURRIES.
LATER PERIODS WERE REFRESHED WITH HPC GUIDANCE ESSENTIALLY... BUT
IT IS SEEMS TO BE HEADED BACK TO A DRY OUT FLOW PATTERN AGAIN POTENTIALLY.
CONFIDENCE IS GENERALLY ABOVE AVERAGE THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD TO THE WEEKEND.
