18 THROUGH 4 PM SAT.
OVER THE MARINE WATERS STORM FORCES WINDS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
FAR NORTHERN INNER CHANNELS THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE THEY DIMINISH
THROUGH SAT AS THE GRADIENT WEAKENS. THE HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY
WILL ALSO CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT BUT AS THE WINDS DECREASE THE
FREEZING SPRAY WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE. THE REST OF THE INNER
CHANNELS WILL SEE THE SOLID GALES DIMINISH BY LATE TONIGHT TO BE
SMALL CRAFT AND CONTINUE TO DIMINISH TO BE AROUND 20 KT BY SAT
AFTERNOON. OVER THE GULF THE STRONG GUSTS FROM CROSS SOUND AND
FROM THE INTERIOR PASSES IN THE NORTHERN GULF WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH TONIGHT BUT AS THE LOW DRIFTS AWAY THEY SHOULD DECREASE
THROUGH SAT.
&&
.LONG TERM...A COLD AIR MASS CONTINUES TO LINGER OVER THE
PANHANDLE THROUGH NEXT WEEK AS THE COLD HIGH IN THE CANADIAN
INTERIOR CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER. COLD OUTFLOW WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK BUT IT WILL NOT BE
ANYWHERE NEAR THE INTENSITY THAT IT HAS BEEN THIS WEEK. NORTHERLY
PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL BE ABOUT HALF THE INTENSITY THAT THEY
HAVE BEEN DISPLAYING THIS WEEK. WINDS IN LYNN CANAL WILL ONLY BE
BLOWING MAX SMALL CRAFT TO MIN GALE WITH WINDS HOVERING BETWEEN
20 AND 30 KT IN MOST INNER CHANNEL LOCATIONS. TAKU WINDS WILL
ALSO NOT BE A PROBLEM AS CROSS BARRIER FLOW WILL FOR THE MOST
PART BE NON-EXISTENT UNTIL LATE NEXT WEEK. DRY AND MOSTLY CLEAR
CONDITIONS ALSO PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE OUTFLOW KEEPS
A WEAK FRONT STATIONARY OUT IN THE GULF.
MID WEEK NEXT WEEK BRINGS SOME CHANGE AS ANOTHER SYSTEM TAKES
AIM AT THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE. TUESDAY STARTS BRINGING IN CLOUDS
AND PRECIP, MOSTLY TO THE SOUTH AS MORE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT
DISSIPATES THE LOW BEFORE IT GETS TOO CLOSE TO THE PANHANDLE.
PRECIP TYPE LOOKS TO BE ALL SNOW AS THE AIR MASS IN PLACE IS
STILL RATHER COLD BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT. PRECIP WILL NOT
GET MUCH FURTHER NORTH THAN THE CENTRAL PANHANDLE AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THE SYSTEM AND THE HIGH IN CANADA WILL PROMOTE
CONTINUED OUTFLOW AND DOWNSLOPING OVER THE NORTH. NEXT COLD SHOT
COMES LATE NEXT WEEK AS ANOTHER ARCTIC HIGH DIVES SOUTH THROUGH
THE YUKON.
MODEL AGREEMENT IS RATHER GOOD IN THE SYNOPTIC SCALE THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. HOWEVER, ABOUT MID WEEK NEXT WEEK THE MODELS
START HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WHEN THE UPPER LOW IN THE GULF IS
REPLACE BY A MORE ZONAL FLOW MID WEEK. DECIDED TO USE NAM FOR MID
RANGE FORECAST DUE TO GOOD INITIALIZATION. EXTENDED FORECAST WAS
UPDATED WITH A BLEND TO HPC WITH A BIT OF THE GFS THROWN IN.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOUT AVERAGE.
