SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
500 PM AKDT THU SEP 13 2012
.SHORT TERM...FAST MOVING CYCLOGENETIC SYSTEM IS MOVING ONSHORE
THE VICINITY OF SITKA AT THIS TIME.
SEVERAL METHODS HAVE POINTED TO THIS BEING A STRONGER SYSTEM
THAN THE MODELS WERE DEPICTING (ALBEIT THE ECMWF AND ESPECIALLY
THE GFS ARE CATCHING UP). THE FIRST DATA POINTING TO THIS BEING A
STRONGER SYSTEM WERE A CLOUD-DRIFT WIND LAST NIGHT JUST BEFORE
MIDNIGHT OVER SITKA WITH A 145KT, WITH NO MODEL VALUES ABOVE
110 KT. THE SECOND WAS FOR 12Z THICKNESS GRADIENT DATA RETRIEVED
FROM THE VAD WIND PROFILE FROM BIORKA ISLAND WITH THICKNESS
GRADIENTS OVER 1/3 STRONGER THAN ANY OF THE MODELS.
BUOY 46184 HAS BEEN IN A GOOD LOCATION AND AS OF NOON THE LOW
SHOULD BE ALREADY IN THE UPPER 990S WITH A TRACK TO THE NE AND
PASSING NORTH OF THE BOUY. THE LOW IS WITHIN MESOSCALE DISTANCE
OF THE BOUY, BUT A SURFACE WIND 21017G21KT HAS ENOUGH WIND SPEED
TO INDICATE THE LOW PASSING SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE N AND NOT
ESSENTIALLY OVER THE BOUY.
.LONG TERM...THE MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH THE MID
RANGE AND THERE IS GROWING AGREEMENT IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS. THE
GFS CONTINUES TO SLOW DOWN THE BIG WEATHER FRONT OVER THE WEEKEND
WHILE THE NAM AND EC HAVE BEEN CONSTANT ON THE TRACK AND TIMING
FROM RUN TO RUN. SO WITH THAT SAID DID NOT USE THE GFS WHILE
MAINLY DID CHANGES TO THE WIND FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND OVER THE
GULF. THERE IS ABOUT AVERAGE FORECASTER CONFIDENCE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. FOR NEXT WEEK USED THE HPC GUIDANCE WHICH THERE IS
GROWING AGREEMENT THAT THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE WET WEATHER AS
A HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE PACIFIC BUILDS NORTH INTO THE GULF. ALONG
WITH THE BUILDING RIDGE WARMER AIR MAY MOVE OVER SE AK AND BRING
TEMPS UP TO BE NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL.
AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD A RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE
FORECAST AREA WITH SHOWERS LIKELY OVER THE NORTHERN HALF AND
SCATTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN AREAS FRIDAY. THE NORTHERN GULF WILL SEE
MORE STEADY RAIN MOVE OVER THE AREA AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROF AND
SURFACE REFLECTION LIFTS OVER THE AREA. WINDS WILL BE ON THE LIGHT
SIDE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NORTHERN LYNN AS THERE WILL BE MIN
SMALL CRAFT WINDS. THIS RIDGE WILL PERSIST FRIDAY AND SHARPEN UP
AS A STRONG FRONT DRIFTS EAST FROM THE WESTERN GULF. SO WITH THE
LACK OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT THE SHOWERS OVER THE FORCAST AREA WILL
DIMINISH FROM SOUTH TO NORTH FROM FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SAT.
THE BIG WEATHER FRONT WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE NORTHERN GULF SAT
AFTERNOON AND THEN SLOWLY SPREAD SE TO BE OVER THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE PANHANDLE BY SUN NIGHT. THIS WEATHER FRONT WILL
PRODUCE A STRONG BARRIER JET OF 50KT OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AND
GALES WILL SPREAD OVER THE REST OF THE NE GULF THROUGH SUNDAY. THE
WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGH MON AS THE FRONT DRIFTS OUT OF
THE AREA AND WEAKENS. THE RAIN FROM THE FRONT WILL BE ON THE JUICY
SIDE AND THE NORTHERN GULF AREAS COULD SEE RAIN HEAVY AT TIMES A
RECEIVE 1 TO 3 INCHES POSSIBLE. THE WINDS OVER THE INNER CHANNELS
WILL SEE AN INCREASE FROM THE SE THROUGH SUNDAY WITH SOME E/W
CHANNELS WILL SEE GALES TO MAX SMALL CRAFT WINDS.
LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS SYSTEM FOR THE WEEKEND.
