SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
602 AM AKST WED DEC 12 2012

.SHORT TERM...BROAD AND RAGGED FRONTAL SYSTEM EXTENDING FROM S
CENTRAL AK SWD OVER CENTRAL GULF AT 6 AM IS ADVANCING QUICKLY EAST
THIS MORNING. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS CLOUD LAYERS AHEAD OF FRONT
CRESTING OVER SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WHICH LIES OVER PRINCE OF WALES
ISLAND AT THIS TIME AND WILL BE EAST OF PANHANDLE LATER THIS
MORNING. STRATOCUMULUS CLOUD DECK IS BEING OBSERVED FROM SITKA TO
JUNEAU AND POINTS NORTH AND WEST FROM THERE. FRONTAL PRECIP IS
EAST OF CORDOVA BUT NOT YET OBSERVED IN YAKUTAT. EXPECT IT WILL
ARRIVE THERE ABOUT DAYBREAK.

CONFIDENT PRECIP WILL SPREAD STEADILY EAST AND SOUTH OVER
PANHANDLE TODAY WITH FRONT. AS USUAL...HARDEST PART OF FORECAST IS
DEPICTING WHERE THE RAIN/SNOW LINE WILL LIE...AND IT WILL BE
MOVING DURING THE DAY. MORNING SOUNDINGS FROM YAKUTAT AND ANNETTE
REVEAL SHARP TEMP INVERSIONS AND ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS ALOFT TO 2K
FT AT YAKUTAT AND 4K FT AT ANNETTE. ANOTHER INDICATOR OF WARMER
AIR MOVING IN WAS THE 22 DEGREE RISE IN TEMP AT FRASIER CAMP
/WHITE PASS/ BETWEEN 0100-0300 AKST THIS MORNING. PRECIPITATION
WILL START IN FORM OF SNOW NORTH OF A LINE BETWEEN ANGOON AND
JUNEAU. SHOULD BE ALL RAIN ALONG THE COAST SOUTH OF CROSS SOUND AS
WELL AS PRINCE OF WALES AND EASTWARD... PETERSBURG AND WRANGELL
AND MISTY FJORDS. YAKUTAT AND GUSTAVUS COULD BE PROBLEM AREAS.
ADJUSTED THE GRIDDED SNOW AMOUNT FORECASTS USING NAM AND SREF
MODELS WHICH GAVE LOW SNOW AMOUNTS AND WARMING TEMPS NEAR THE
WATER BUT ACCUMULATING SNOW A SHORT DISTANCE INLAND. SEVERAL
INCHES FORECAST FOR JUNEAU THIS MORNING BEFORE CHANGING TO RAIN.
PRECIP SHOULD BE SLOWER TO REACH TYPICALLY DRIER HAINES-SKAGWAY
BUT THEY TOO SHOULD CHANGE TO RAIN AS WARMER SOUTH WIND PUSHES UP
LYNN CANAL TODAY. ALREADY 41 DEGS AT POINT RETREAT.

WIDESPREAD PRECIP EXPECTED WITH FRONT THROUGH THE EVENING THEN
TAPERING OFF FROM NW TO SE OVERNIGHT AS FRONT MOVES BY. RISING
SURFACE PRESSURES OFFSHORE WATERS OVERNIGHT FORECAST TO INCREASE
WINDS TO GALE FORCE THERE. SEAS WILL RISE ACCORDINGLY. LOW LEVEL
WESTERLY FLOW WILL ALSO KEEP TEMPS PRETTY STEADY TONIGHT SO
THURSDAY LOW TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO SAME AS WED MAX TEMPS.
CONFIDENCE IN PRECIP TIMING AT OR ABOVE AVE...CONFIDENCE IN PRECIP
TYPE /IE RAIN-SNOW LINE/ NOT AS HIGH.

&&

.LONG TERM...IT IS LOOKING LIKE THERE MAY BE A BRIEF IMPROVEMENT
FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA THURSDAY AS THE REMAINS OF THE WEATHER FRONT
PROGRESSES EAST IN THE STRONG ZONAL FLOW. THERE WAS SOME COLD AIR
TRAILING THE FRONT.

THE NEXT SHORT WAVE DEVELOPS INTO A GALE FORCE LOW AS IT MOVES
ACROSS THE GULF THE SURFACE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WILL SPREAD
PRECIPITATION INTO THE PANHANDLE LATE THURSDAY TO FRIDAY. AM
THINKING THAT THERE WILL SUFFICIENT COLD AIR TRAPPED INTO THE
NORTHERN INNER CHANNELS THAT IT WILL START AS SNOW THERE. THE
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW INCHES OF SNOW FROM THIS FRONT.

REMAINS OF THE LOW WILL DISSIPATE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF THROUGH
THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH A NEW POTENTIAL LOW
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC. LONG RANGE MODELS ARE
SUGGESTING THIS WILL HEAD TOWARDS THE BRITISH COLUMBIA
COAST...HOWEVER THEIR WAS SOME FAIRLY GOOD DIFFERENCES IN THAT.

LONG RANGE FORECAST PACKAGE PREFERENCE WAS TO FOLLOW THE LINES OF
THE HPC GUIDANCE WHILE THE FORECAST FOR THE LATER HALF OF THIS
WEEK TO THE WEEKEND WAS A BLEND OF THE GFS AND NAM.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE TO THE WEEKEND AND THEN
AVERAGE AFTER THAT.

.AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR PKZ011-013-021-022-031>036-041>043-
     051>053.
