Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 1:36 PM AKDT, 8 hours 21 minutes before
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
136 PM AKDT SUN JUN 24 2012
.SHORT TERM...A LOW OVER THE INTERIOR OF ALASKA HAS AN OCCLUDED
FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. THIS FRONTAL
SYSTEM WILL PUSH A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE GULF THIS
EVENING...CAUSING SOUTHERLY WINDS TO INCREASE TO SMALL CRAFT
LEVEL IN NORTHERN LYNN CANAL. CLOUDS ASSOC WITH THE FRONT WILL
MOVE OVER THE PANHANDLE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH RAIN REACHING
THE YAKUTAT AREA FIRST THEN THE REST OF THE COASTAL AREAS LATE
TONIGHT. HAVE DELAYED THE RAIN SLIGHTLY AS MOST OF THE ENERGY
WITH THE FRONT LOOKS TO BE FURTHER SOUTH WITH A VORT MAX.
THERE IS ANOTHER PROMINENT FEATURE ON SATELLITE IMAGERY JUST OFF
THE SE COAST. THIS IS A VORT MAX WRAPPING AROUND AN UPPER LEVEL
LOW TO THE DISTANT SE. CURRENTLY THIS FEATURES IS CAUSING
OVERCAST SKIES IN THE KETCHIKAN AREA AND RAIN JUST TO THE SOUTH
OVER HAIDA GWAII AND B.C. HAVE MAINLY A CHANCE OF RAIN FOR THE
SOUTHERN AREAS TONIGHT WITH THIS AS IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO
PROGRESS MUCH FURTHER NORTH...EXCEPTION THE THE HYDER ZONE WHERE
RAIN IS MORE LIKELY.
A MARINE LAYER OF LOW CLOUDS OUT OVER THE GULF WILL MOVE INLAND
AGAIN TONIGHT...SPREADING FURTHER INTO THE INSIDE WATERS THAN
LAST NIGHT. AREAS NEAR THESE CHANNELS WILL HAVE REDUCED
VISIBILITY INCLUDING YAKUTAT/ELFIN COVE/SITKA/PORT ALEXANDER WITH
THE MARINE LAYER AND HAVE INCLUDED FOG FOR MONDAY MORNING.
HOWEVER WITH ONSHORE FLOW AND THE FRONT MOVING IN THE MARINE
LAYER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE OFFSHORE IN THE AFTERNOON AS IT
TYPICALLY DOES. RAINFALL WILL ALSO CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITIES.
.HYDROLOGY...AREA RIVERS REMAIN HIGH ACROSS THE REGION DUE TO
ACCELERATED SNOW MELT AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THE CHILKAT RIVER IN
HAINES IS AT MINOR FLOOD STAGE AND A FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN
EFFECT THERE. THE TAIYA RIVER NEAR DYEA AND SKAGWAY HAS FALLEN
SOME THROUGH THE MORNING BUT IS EXPECTED TO RISE AGAIN THROUGH
THE EVENING...TO JUST BELOW MODERATE FLOOD STAGE. A FLOOD WARNING
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE TAIYA RIVER. THE RIVERS ARE EXPECTED TO
LEVEL OFF SOME THEN FALL THROUGH MONDAY AS TEMPERATURES ALOFT
DROP OFF AND LOWER SNOW LEVELS AGAIN. BOTH THE ADVISORY AND
WARNING RUN THROUGH 5AM MONDAY MORNING.
&&
.LONG TERM...MID LEVEL LOW TRACKS SOUTHEAST FROM THE BERING SEA
OVER THE ALEUTIANS AND INTO THE AK GULF MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
WHERE IT BECOMES THE MAIN WEATHER FEATURE THROUGH THE WEEK. THIS
QUASI STATIONARY LOW WILL PUSH CLOSER TO THE PANHANDLE COAST BY
THE WEEKEND AND WILL BE JOINED BY A SECOND MID LOW LOW THAT WILL
TRACK EASTWARD FOLLOWING A TRACK ALONG 50N. INDICATIONS ARE THESE
TWO LOWS WILL MERGE BY THE START OF NEXT WEEK.
AT THE SURFACE THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE PANHANDLE WILL
WEAKEN AS A DEVELOPING LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID LEVEL LOW WILL
FORM IN THE AK GULF. MOST ENERGY WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE
ABSORBED BY A STRONGER LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC ASSOCIATED WITH A
VORT MAX ROTATING AROUND THE MAIN MID LEVEL LOW. THIS NORTH
PACIFIC LOW WILL EVENTUALLY TRACK TOWARD HAIDA GWAII WHILE
DISSIPATING BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
CONTINUED ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP CLOUDY SKIES AND RAIN OVER THE
PANHANDLE THROUGH THE START OF THE WEEK. AS THE OCCLUDED FRONT
WEAKENS WILL SEE PRECIPITATION DIMINISH MID WEEK...WITH MAJORITY
OF BREAKS OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE. BY THE END OF THE WEEK
ANOTHER BAND OF RAIN WILL MOVE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH WITH THE NEXT
LOW APPROACHING HAIDA GWAII. AS THE PRESSURE PATTERN IS FAIRLY
WEEK WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LESS THAN 20 KTS BECOMING LIGHT
THROUGH THE WEEK.
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT CONTINUES THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE TIMING
DIFFERENCES WITH THE LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC BEGIN TO EMERGE.
GFS HAS BEEN SHOWING BETTER RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY COMPARED TO
THE ECMWF. MAIN DIFFERENCE ARE SMALL SCALE DUE TO THE WEAK
PATTERN MID WEEK. UPDATED FORECAST PACKAGE WITH A BLEND OF
GFS/NAM THEN TRANSITIONED TO A GFS/HPC/ECMWF BLEND.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE AT THE START OF THE LONG
TERM BUT DROPS BY MID WEEK. EXPECTING FORECAST DETAILS FOR THE
WEEKEND TO CHANGE..ESPECIALLY WITH POP...AS DETAILS BECOME
RESOLVED.
