SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
333 PM AKST SUN DEC 2 2012

.SHORT TERM...SNOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA TODAY DUE TO A
DEFORMATION BAND THE IS CLEARLY VISIBLE ON SATELLITE PICTURES OVER
THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE. SNOW AMOUNTS SINCE THE SNOW STARTED
YESTERDAY HAVE VARIED BETWEEN 1 TO 2 INCHES IN THE SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL PANHANDLE TO AROUND 5 TO 7 INCHES AROUND JUNEAU. HAINES
AND SKAGWAY HAVE FOR THE MOMENT AVOIDED GETTING ANY SIGNIFICANT
SNOW FALLS DUE TO THE STILL STRONG NORTHERLY OUTFLOW KEEPING MOST
OF THE PRECIP AT BAY OR JUST BLOWING ANY ACCUMULATION AWAY.
YAKUTAT HAS BEEN CLEAR SINCE YESTERDAY. WITH THE COLD AIR IN THE
INNER CHANNELS SNOW RATIOS HAVE BEEN HIGH RANGING FROM 20 TO 1 IN
THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE TO 15 TO 1 IN THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE. THE
MAIN CULPRIT FOR THE PRECIP IS A LOW THAT IS DRIFTING NW ALONG THE
OUTER COAST AND SPREADING SE FLOW ALOFT OVER THE COLD AIR IN THE
PANHANDLE WITH HELP FROM THE DEFORMATION BAND.

 IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW, COLD OUTFLOW WINDS ARE STILL FLOWING
THROUGH LYNN CANAL, TAKU INLET AND THE OTHER USUAL OUTFLOW AREAS
IN THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE. ELDRED ROCK HAS HAD SUSTAINED WINDS 45
TO 50 KT FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS, AND WITH A AIR TEMP OF 14 DEGREES
THERE IS A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY BEING
PRESENT IN THE CANAL. THUS A HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING REMAINS
UP FOR NORTHERN LYNN CANAL THROUGH TOMORROW. LESSER AMOUNTS OF
WIND AND FREEZING SPRAY ARE ALSO EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE NORTHERN
INNER CHANNELS INTO TOMORROW. ALSO WITH THE WIND AND COLD AIR WIND
CHILLS AT WHITE PASS HAVE TAKEN A PLUNGE. CURRENT WIND CHILLS AT
WHITE PASS WERE REPORTED AS AROUND NEGATIVE 30 TO MINUS 40. A WIND
CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS UP FOR WHITE PASS INTO TOMORROW.

 FOR TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW, THE LOW IN THE GULF WILL SLOWLY DRIFT
TO THE NW AND TAKE THE BEST OVERRUNNING CONDITIONS WITH IT. SNOW
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN THE JUNEAU AND HOONAH AREA THROUGH
TONIGHT BUT AT EVER DIMINISHING RATES SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TONIGHT
SHOULDN'T EXCEED 4 INCHES. HAINES WILL START SEEING MORE SNOW THIS
EVENING AS THE BETTER OVERRUNNING BEGINS TO MOVE OVER THEM. I
EXPECT HAINES AND AREAS UP THE HAINES HIGHWAY TO GET UPWARDS OF 5
TO 8 INCHES THROUGH MID DAY MONDAY BEFORE THE SNOW MOVES OUT OF
THAT AREA AS WELL. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS UP FOR THAT
AREA INTO MIDDAY TOMORROW. YAKUTAT WILL MISS OUT, AS THE LOW
DISSIPATES AND IS ABSORBED BY A FORMING SECONDARY LOW IN THE
CENTRAL GULF MONDAY BEFORE IT CAN BRING ANY DECENT SNOWFALL. REST
OF THE PANHANDLE WILL SEE PERIODS OF SNOW INTO TOMORROW WITH
ACCUMULATIONS UP TO 3 INCHES.

 SHORT RANGE MODELS WERE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE
VARIOUS GLOBAL MODELS DID AN OK JOB REPRESENTING WHERE THE LOW WAS
WHEN COMPARING THEM TO SATELLITE IMAGES AND SAR PASSES THIS
MORNING. THE EXCEPTION SEEMS TO BE THE NAM WHICH WAS TOO FAR SOUTH
WITH LOW POSITION AND WANTS TO TAKE THE LOW INTO THE DIXON
ENTRANCE AREA RATHER THEN UP THE OUTER COAST LIKE MOST OF THE
OTHER MODELS ARE DISPLAYING. DECIDED ON USING THE ECMWF FOR
FORECAST UPDATES TODAY AS IT HAD THE BEST REPRESENTATION OF WHAT
WAS ACTUALLY GOING ON. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOUT AVERAGE.

 &&

 .LONG TERM...PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT AS DEFORMATION BAND EXITS THE AREA AND LOW IN
THE GULF TRACKS TO THE WEST. AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO ROTATE AROUND
THE AK GULF WILL SEE PRECIPITATION PUSH BACK NORTHWARD THROUGH MID
WEEK THEN DIMINISH AGAIN OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE BY THE
WEEKEND. DUE TO THE HIGH UNCERTAINTY WITH THE POSITION OF THE GULF
FEATURES NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF SNOW FALL THROUGH THE
WEEK DUE TO THE HIGHER QPF VALUES CORRESPONDING WITH WARMER AIR
MASS. THE WEEKEND COULD SEE A FAIR PRECIP EVENT OR A DRY TREND
DEPENDING ON THE MODEL OF CHOICE. ARCTIC HIGH REMAINS OVER THE
YUKON WITH COLD AIR MASS REAMING ENTRENCHED OVER THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PANHANDLE. INDICATIONS OF A WARMER AIR MASS MOVING UP
FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC WHICH WILL BEGIN TO RAISE TEMPERATURES FOR
THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE. AT THIS TIME THINKING THIS WARMER AIR MASS
WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF FREDERICK SOUND. AS THE GULF LOW DROPS TO THE
SOUTH THE NORTHERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL STRENGTHEN WITH GALES
TO STORM FORCE WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN INNER CHANNELS. EXPECT
CONTINUED STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS FROM INNER CHANNELS WITH THE LOW IN
THE GULF AND HIGH OVER THE YUKON AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

 COMPLICATED FORECAST FOR THE LONG RANGE. MAIN ISSUES ARE THE
UPPER RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC INTO THE BERING SEA
AND HOW THIS BLOCKING PATTERN WILL EFFECT UPSTREAM SYSTEMS. BROAD
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AK GULF THOUGH MID WEEK.
FOR TUESDAY THE LOW CENTER WILL BE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHWEST
PORTION OF THE GULF AND WILL THEN ROTATE COUNTER CLOCKWISE NEARING
KODIAK BY WEDNESDAY. THE DEVELOPING REX BLOCK BY TUESDAY LOOKS TO
ALLOW A LOW TO DROP FROM THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA INTO THE NORTH
PACIFIC WHICH WILL THEN NEAR THE WESTERN AK GULF. MODELS WERE IN
FAIR AGREEMENT UP TO THIS POINT BECOMING OUT OF PHASE WITH RESPECT
TO NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE WESTERN AK GULF BY
FRIDAY. THE ECMWF HAS BEEN MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE APPROACHING
LOW WHILE THE GFS KEEPS THE BROAD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE GULF
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

 MODELS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE START OF THE LONG RANGE.
ECMWF/GFS WERE SHOWING BETTER CONSENSUS WITH THE THE NAM AS THE
EARLY OUTLIER. RUN TO RUN DIFFERENCES EARLY ON WERE MAINLY WITH
THE STRENGTH OF THE AK GULF LOW. BY MID WEEK THE ISSUE OF HOW EACH
MODEL DEALS WITH THE BERING SEA BLOCKING PATTERN BREAK DOWN BECOME
MORE APPARENT. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT
WITH THEMSELVES RUN TO RUN BUT BECOME OUT OF PHASE WITH EACH OTHER
BY FRIDAY. FOR THE START OF THE LONG TERM USED A BLEND OF 12Z
ECMWF WITH INHERITED GRIDS...OVERALL CHANGES THROUGH WEDNESDAY
WERE MINOR. FOR WEDNESDAY ONWARD EXPECT THE FORECAST TO VARY
SIGNIFICANTLY. NEW HPC CONTINUED TO USE THE ECMWF ENSEMBLES BUT
HAS A MUCH WEAKER LOW IN THE GULF BY FRIDAY. BLENDED IN NEW HPC
50/50 WITH INHERITED GRIDS...BUT NOT GOING WHOLE HOG WITH ANY
FORECAST QUITE YET. CONFIDENCE IS AVERAGE FOR THE START OF THE
LONG RANGE...MAINLY WITH SOME QUESTION ON TIMING OF PRECIP ENDING
BUT BY WEDNESDAY CONFIDENCE IS WELL BELOW AVERAGE AND EXPECT THE
FORECAST WILL VARY AS THE SYSTEM START TO FALL IN LINE WITH A
PARTICULAR SOLUTION.
