SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
435 PM AKDT TUE SEP 25 2012

.SHORT TERM...STORM FORCE WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ARE SET TO OCCUR IN THE NORTH GULF COAST ZONE
52 BEGINNING LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AFTER THIS SYSTEM WEAKENS THIS
EVENING, A SECOND SUCH STORM FORCE FRONT WILL OCCUR LATE
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

 MORE ABOUT THE FIRST FRONTAL SYSTEM: STORM FOR MARINE ZONES
52 AND 310 AND GALES FOR REMAINDER OF THE COASTAL WATERS STILL
SEEMS ON TRACK. THE WEAKENING OF THE ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BAND AT
LANDFALL 06Z-09Z TONIGHT WILL BE LARGELY DUE TO THE FRONT GOING
ALOFT. THE STRONGEST WINDS IN THE INNER CHANNELS WILL BE IN
CLARENCE STRAIT BOTH DUE TO THE SHALLOWER TERRAIN AND TO THE
ORIENTATION OF THE STRAIT.

&&

.LONG TERM...MODELS ARE IN CLOSE AGREEMENT THROUGH THU BUT THEN
BEGIN TO DIVERGE SIGNIFICANTLY AS THE REMNANTS OF A TROPICAL
SYSTEM IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC IS INJECTED INTO THE WESTERLIES.
BOTH ECMWF AND GFS MODELS ARE WITHIN A COUPLE OF MILLIBARS IN DEPTH
AND A FEW MILES IN THE LOCATION OF AN INTENSE DEVELOPING LOW IN
THE CENTRAL GULF OF AK WED NIGHT.

EXPECT A 952MB LOW TO BE 100 NM SE OF KODIAK WITH A STRONG FRONT
APPROACHING THE SE AK COAST EARLY WED NIGHT. GALES AND SOME STORM
FORCE WINDS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE OUTER COAST WITH GALES AND SMALL
CRAFT WINDS IN THE INSIDE WATERS. RAIN WILL BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES
AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE PANHANDLE. PRECIPITATION WILL
BECOME MORE CONVECTIVE THU AND FRI BUT SIGNIFICANT BREAKS IN
RAINFALL ARE NOT LIKELY WITH STRONG INSTABILITY AND ABUNDANT
MOISTURE OVER MOST OF THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC.

A LARGE ENSEMBLE SPREAD INDICATES SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY WITH ANY
SINGLE MODEL FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND AS THE TROPICAL ENERGY
REACHES THE NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC. HPC GUIDANCE TRENDED TOWARD A
MEAN OF THE ENSEMBLE SOLUTIONS WHICH IS PROBABLY THE BEST
SCENARIO FOR NOW UNTIL THE MODELS BEGIN TO CONVERGE ON A SOLUTION.

.AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...STRONG WIND FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY
     NIGHT FOR AKZ027.
MARINE...STORM WARNING FOR PKZ052.
         GALE WARNING FOR PKZ022-033>036-041>043-051-053.
         SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR PKZ011>013-021-031-032.
