SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
308 PM AKDT SUN APR 1 2012
.SHORT TERM...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE
TODAY WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF. A
SHORT WAVE IS VISIBLE IN SATELLITE IMAGERY MOVING OVER SOUTHERN
PORTIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS PICKED UP SOUTH
OF FREDERICK SOUND. COLD AIR CONTINUES TO MOVE ONSHORE AS
EVIDENCED BY PLENTY OF OPEN CELL CUMULUS OVER THE EASTERN GULF
AND SNOW SHOWERS MIXED IN WITH THE RAIN SHOWERS.
A DEVELOPING GALE FORCE LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC CONTINUES TO
TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST AND THE BAROCLINIC CLOUD SHIELD IS JUST TO
THE SOUTHWEST OF HAIDA GWAII AS OF THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS STILL
HAVING TROUBLE WITH TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THIS SYSTEM AND THIS
REPRESENTS THE GREATEST UNCERTAINTY IN THE SHORT RANGE FORECAST
PERIOD. OPTED FOR THE GFS TRACK BUT WITH A CENTRAL PRESSURE NOT
QUITE AS DEEP AS GFS. END RESULT WILL BE FULL GALES INSTEAD OF
STORM FORCE WINDS IN THE SOUTHERN COASTAL MARINE ZONES WITH GALES
OVER SOUTHERN CHATHAM, WESTERN SUMNER, AND THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
CLARENCE STRAIT. ALSO HAVE A STRONG WIND HEADLINE FOR PUBLIC ZONE
27 THAT EXTENDS INTO THE LONG RANGE FORECAST PERIOD.
SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER SOUTHEAST ALASKA WILL GIVE WAY OVERNIGHT TO
STRATIFORM PRECIPITATION FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATE TONIGHT AND
THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. HAVE THE CATEGORICAL LINE EXTENDING AS
FAR NORTH AS A LINE FROM SITKA TO JUST NORTH OF FIVE FINGERS
LIGHT BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. STILL SEEING MIXED PRECIP EVEN THIS
AFTERNOON, SO SOME SNOW IN SHOWERS TONIGHT SEEMS A CERTAINTY, BUT
NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. WAR AIR ADVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH
THE APPROACHING FRONT SHOULD KEEP PRECIP ALL RAIN TOMORROW.
BLENDED EC AND GFS FOR PRESSURE. MODIFIED GFS WIND FIELD TO
LIMIT MARINE WINDS BELOW STORM FORCE. ADJUSTED TEMPS WITH BIAS
CORRECTED NAM. POP AND QPF FROM SREF. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS
AVERAGE.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...GALE FORCE LOW OVER THE
COAST OF HAIDA GWAII WILL REMAIN QUASI STATIONARY AS IT WEAKENS
THROUGH MID WEEK. PRECIP WILL CONTINUE OVER THE SOUTHERN AREAS
WITH STRONG WINDS BEGINNING TO DIMINISH THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE LOW
WEAKENS. THIS LOW WILL TRACK TO THE SOUTH BY THURSDAY AS RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE TRACKS EAST WARD AND BUILDS OVER THE AK GULF. THE
REGION WILL SEE DRY CONDITIONS AND CLEARING SKIES AS THE RIDGE
BECOMES ESTABLISHED. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE
THROUGH THIS TIME WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AFTERNOON SEA BREEZES
RESULTING FORM THE COOL WATERS, WARMING LANDS AND WEAK SYNOPTIC
FORCING. FOR THE WEEKEND THERE IS INDICATION THAT A SHORT WAVE
WILL MOVE OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE SO HAVE INCLUDED MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES WITH SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS.
MODELS WERE IN GENERALLY SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT BUT STILL HAD
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND GFS WITH RESPECT TO POSITION AND
STRENGTH OF THE GALE FORCE LOW FOR MONDAY NIGHT BUT BY TUESDAY
THE 12Z GS AND 12Z ECMWF FELL MORE IN LINE WITH THE SPEED OF THE
LOW EXITING THE AREA. NOT MUCH DIFFERENCES THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEK WITH NEXT LARGE DIVERGENCE OCCURRING BY THE WEEKEND WITH THE
SPIT FLOW PUSHING WEAK SHORT WAVE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF WITH MAIN
LOW ENERGY OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC. GFS SHOWS A DEEPER MORE
ORGANIZED LOW WHILE THE ECMWF HAS A WEAKER BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE. USED A BLEND OF ECMWF AND GFS THROUGH DAY 3 THEN
TRANSITIONED TO AN EC/HPC BLEND FOR THE REST OF THE LONG TERM AS
EC HAS BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT RUN TO RUN.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOUT AVERAGE DUE TO THE MODEL DIFFERENCE
WITH DETAILS FOR MONDAY NIGHT BUT AS SYNOPTIC PATTERN HAS BEEN
FAIRLY CONSISTENT THROUGH THE WEEK FORECAST CONFIDENCE BECOMES
ABOVE AVERAGE.
