Area forecast discussion, Sep 13, 5:41 AM AKDT, 5 hours 19 minutes before
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
541 AM AKDT THU SEP 13 2012
.SHORT TERM...A FRONT OVER THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE WILL LIFT
NORTH TO THE CENTRAL PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON AS A SLOWLY
DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVES NE ALONG THE FRONT. THE LOW
SHOULD CROSS THE CENTRAL AREA EARLY THIS EVENING AND BE INTO NW
BC BY LATE EVENING. THE FRONT WILL THEN SWEEP SEWD AND OUT OF THE
AREA BY LATE TONIGHT. USED THE 00Z GFS AS IT WAS A GOOD MIDDLE
GROUND COMPROMISE AMONGST THE MODELS ON THE TRACK AND STRENGTH OF
THE LOW.
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE RAINFALL AMOUNTS AND WINDS. GIVEN
THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT RAIN WILL BE
ON THE HEAVY SIDE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS TODAY.
LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER 2-4 INCHES OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER
AMOUNTS OVER THE SOUTH WITH 1-2 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER
AMOUNTS OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. THESE
HEAVY RAINS WILL CAUSE LOCAL STREAMS AND RIVERS TO RISE SOMEWHAT
AND SMALLER STREAMS COULD REACH BANKFULL LEVELS. MUDSLIDES WILL
BE A REAL POSSIBILITY AS THE GROUND IS ALREADY SATURATED FROM
PREVIOUS RAINS AND WINDS WILL PICK UP ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTH.
HAVE UPDATED THE RIVER STATEMENT TO REFLECT THE ABOVE THINKING.
WILL GET IN CONTACT WITH RFC ABOUT UPDATING THEIR FORECASTS AS
THE AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN HAS SHIFTED NORTHWARD FROM PREVIOUS
FORECAST.
AS FOR WINDS...GALES ARE EXPECTED SOUTH OF THE LOW TRACK OVER
THE SE GULF AND FAR SOUTHERN INNER CHANNELS. WILL ALSO PUT OUT A
STRONG WIND HEADLINE FOR PUBLIC ZONES 27 AND 28 MAINLY FOR THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AS LOW MOVES INLAND...STRONGER W WINDS ARE
LIKELY ALONG THE CENTRAL COAST WITH SCA LEVEL S-SW WINDS OVER THE
CENTRAL INNER CHANNELS TONIGHT...WHILE WINDS DROP OFF SOME OVER
THE SOUTH.
OTHERWISE...THE STRONGER AND FURTHER NORTH LOW WILL HELP
INCREASE OFFSHORE FLOW AROUND THE PAYA AREA AND THEY WILL LIKELY
SEE SOME CLEARING TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPS THERE TO DROP
INTO THE MID-UPPER 30S AND PATCHY FOG IS ALSO A GOOD POSSIBILITY.
PRECIP WILL TRANSITION TO SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE MAIN
PANHANDLE AREA TONIGHT WITH THE INNER CHANNELS TAKING UNTIL LATE
TONIGHT AS COLD ADVECTION DEVELOPS IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW.
.LONG TERM...AS FRONT MOVES AWAY FROM SOUTHEAST...POST FRONTAL
SHOWERY PRECIPITATION TAKES OVER AS INSTABILITY FROM COOLER
TEMPERATURES ALOFT INFILTRATES THE PANHANDLE. MAIN ISSUE AT THE
HANDOFF IS HOW QUICKLY WINDS DIMINISH. STARTED WITH GFS SOLUTION
FRIDAY MORNING TO BLEND BETTER WITH SHORT TERM BUT THEN LEANED
MORE TOWARD NAM BY FRIDAY NIGHT FOR WINDS. MODELS HAD SUBTLE
DIFFERENCES IN WHEN WEAK SHORTWAVES MOVED ASHORE, BUT PRECIP
FIELDS AND WIND FIELDS MATCHED WELL FOR THE MOST PART. LEAST
CONFIDENT IN THE SOUTHERN ZONES AS SOME WINDSHIFTS AMONG THE
CHANNELED TERRAIN MAY OCCUR FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND TIMING NOT WELL
HANDLED. AS RIDGE FOLLOWS THE FRONT...GRADIENTS WILL TIGHTEN IN
LYNN CANAL TO SCA LEVELS FRIDAY AND REMAIN HIGH THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. A SHORTWAVE BUILDING ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE RIDGE WILL
MOVE ASHORE AROUND YAKUTAT FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND INCREASE
STRATIFORM PRECIPITATION IN THE FAR NORTHWEST THROUGH SUNDAY. THIS
WILL SPREAD EASTWARD TO THE NORTH CENTRAL ZONES INTO THE WEEKEND
AS SOUTHERN ZONES WILL EXPERIENCE A MUCH NEEDED BREAK FROM THE
RAINY ONSLAUGHT THAT CONTINUES FOR 24 MORE HOURS. SOUTHERN ZONES
POSSIBLY COULD SEE A FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS DURING THE WEEKEND
BUT WAS NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO GO PARTLY CLOUDY WITH MAINLY
ONSHORE FLOW. EVEN PLACED SOME PATCHY FOG FOR FRIDAY NIGHT IN
SOUTHERN ZONES TO ACCOUNT FOR MUCH SOGGIER GROUND AND ANY
POTENTIAL FOR SOME POSSIBLE CLOUD BREAKS LATE. FOR THE EXTENDED
PERIOD KEPT HPC GUIDANCE AS IT MAINTAINS SOME RIDGING OVER THE
PANHANDLE WITH MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW...WHICH MEANS MORE RAIN IN THE
FORECAST.
