SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
257 PM AKDT SAT JUN 2 2012

.SHORT TERM.../SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...UPPER LEVEL LOW IN
THE CENTRAL GULF WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SE AND AND WEAKEN SLIGHTLY
THROUGH SUNDAY. AT THE SURFACE THE RIDGE ALONG THE PANHANDLE WILL
SHIFT TO THE NORTHERN GULF AND A LOW IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL GULF
WILL DRIFT TO THE SE UNDER THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURE. THIS PRESSURE
PATTERN WILL HELP TO TURN WINDS MORE OFFSHORE THROUGH THE PERIOD
WITH DECREASING CHANCES OF PRECIP...OR AT LEAST A TRANSITION TO
MORE INTERMITTENT/SCATTERED SHOWERS. THERE ARE NO DISTINCT WAVES
OR VORT MAXES THAT ARE PROGGED TO PASS OVER THROUGH THE PERIOD TO
ENHANCE THESE SHOWERS...EXCEPTION TO THIS IS OVER THE SWRN AREA
WHERE THE NAM12 AND GFS HAVE WEAK VORTICITY PASSING OVER SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...THUS HAVE INCLUDED MORE SCATTER SHOWERS THERE.

FOR CLOUD COVER...THE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL HELP TO CREATE MORE
BREAKS OVERNIGHT. AS A RESULT THERE WILL BE SOME ADDITIONAL
RADIATIONAL COOLING WITH TEMPERATURES OVER THE NORTH FALLING TO
ABOUT 40F. THE COOLING WILL REACH THE DEW POINT IN SOME PLACES SO
HAVE INCLUDED PATCHY FOG FOR LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY FOR
AREAS THAT HAVE LIGHT/CALM WINDS. THIS WILL BURN OFF THROUGH THE
MORNING WITH MORE SUNSHINE EXPECTED OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
PANHANDLE AND WINDS INCREASING SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH
THE SEA BREEZE. HAVE INCREASED TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY OVER THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE PANHANDLE DUE TO EXPECTED SUNSHINE AND KEPT
THE SOUTHERN HALF ABOUT THE SAME OR A DEGREE COOLER UNDER THE
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND SCATTERED SHOWERS EXPECTED. WINDS LOOK TO
BE THE STRONGEST IN FAR NORTHERN LYNN CANAL WITH SOME SOUTHERLY
GUSTS EXPECTED FOR HAINES AND SKAGWAY IN THE AFTERNOON. HAVE KEPT
THE MARINE WINDS BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVEL HOWEVER. OTHERWISE WINDS
WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT UNDER THIS PRESSURE PATTERN.

AN AREA OF CONCERN IS A POTENTIAL MARINE LAYER TO SET UP UNDER
THE HIGH PRESSURE IN THE GULF. LOW LEVEL WINDS LOOK AS THOUGH THEY
WILL KEEP THIS OFFSHORE UNTIL POSSIBLY LATE AFTERNOON SUNDAY WHEN
WINDS OVER THE GULF TURN MORE NORTHWEST.

FORECAST ADJUSTMENTS WERE STARTED WITH MAINLY THE NAM12 AND A BIT
OF THE 00Z ECMWF. OVERALL CHANGES WERE MINOR. FORECAST CONFIDENCE
IS ABOVE AVERAGE.

 .LONG TERM...REMNANTS OF UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE SOUTHERN AK GULF
WILL EXIT THE REGION SUNDAY EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE MOVE
OVER THE AK GULF FROM THE WEST THROUGH TUESDAY. AT THE SURFACE A
CLOSED HIGH OVER THE NORTHERN GULF WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT. EXPECTING DRY CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT WINDS THROUGH
THIS TIME FRAME. WITH THE HIGH IN PLACE OVER THE GULF POSSIBLE
MARINE STRATUS LAYER COULD MOVE INLAND SO HAVE KEPT MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES OVER THE COASTAL AREAS BUT WITH DOWN SLOPING WINDS
ELSEWHERE EXPECTING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

 FOR TUESDAY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL TRACK
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY AND INTO THE EVENING. INDICATIONS THAT
PRECIPITATION WILL BE ABLE TO REACH THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE COAST
MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE EASTERN PANHANDLE.

 THE MAIN FORECASTING ISSUE IS THE NEW LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC
LOW THAT WILL TRACK EASTWARD JUST SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS. WITH
THE APPROACHING FRONT WINDS AND WAVES OF THE AK GULF WILL
STEADILY INCREASE ALONG WITH INCREASING CLOUD COVER AND POP.
MODELS ARE HAVING TROUBLE RESOLVING DETAILS OF THIS LOW AND IT
ASSOCIATED WEATHER FRONT WITH RESPECT TO TIMING AND LOCATION.
WHILE MODELS HAVE STARTED TO FALL MORE IN LINE THE ECMWF HAS BEEN
MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE EASTWARD TRACK AND EXTENDS THE FRONT
FURTHER NORTH OVER THE PANHANDLE BY THURSDAY. THE GFS HAS BEEN
SLOWER AND TRACKS A BIT FURTHER SOUTH. WITH THIS REMAINING
UNCERTAINTY KEPT POPS AT A HIGH CHANCE IN THE FORECAST.

 USED A BLEND OF NAM/ECMWF TO UPDATE INHERITED GRIDS TO DAY 4.
LIKED THE INITIALIZATION AND AGREEMENT BETWEEN THESE TWO MODELS
AND BOTH HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT. FOR THE REST OF THE
FORECAST UPDATED WITH NEW HPC WHICH CONTINUED TO BE A BLEND OF
ENSEMBLE AND OPERATIONAL MODELS. OVERALL CHANGES WERE MINOR WITH
MAIN ADJUSTMENTS TO POP FIELDS DAY 5 ONWARD TO INDICATE HIGHER
UNCERTAINTY WITH NEW MODEL RUNS. FORECAST CONFIDENCE BEGINS ABOVE
AVERAGE BUT THEN DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY BY WEDNESDAY.

.AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR PKZ012.
