SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
347 PM AKST THU NOV 22 2012
.SHORT TERM...HIGH WIND EVENT FOR THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE TURNED
OUT TO BE NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS EXPECTED BASED ON OBSERVATIONS.
HIGH WINDS IN THE DOWNTOWN JUNEAU AREA DID HOWEVER PAN OUT AS
FORECAST. WINDS WILL REMAIN UP THROUGH MUCH OF THE SHORT TERM FOR
MOST OF THE PANHANDLE AS THE SECOND WRAP ON THIS SYSTEM ROTATES
AROUND AND AFFECTS SOUTHEAST ALASKA ON FRIDAY. NO HIGH WIND
WATCHES OR WARNINGS AT THIS TIME, BUT DO EXPECT STRONG WINDS WITH
MANY LOCATIONS SEEING GUSTS TO 45 MPH. STORMS OVER THE INNER
CHANNELS AND COASTAL MARINE ZONES WINDING DOWN A BIT AS WELL, BUT
STILL HAVE GALE WARNINGS UP FOR EVERYWHERE EXCEPT YAKUTAT BAY AND
THE COAST FROM ICY BAY WEST TO CAPE SUCKLING. AIR TEMPS SLIGHTLY
