Area forecast discussion, Oct 23, 4:18 PM AKDT, 11 hours 42 minutes before
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
418 PM AKDT TUE OCT 23 2012
.SHORT TERM...ANOTHER MOSTLY CLEAR SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD
AHEAD WITH THE BIGGEST VARIABLE BEING THE STRENGTH OF THE WINDS
OVER THE INNER CHANNELS AND PUBLIC ZONES.
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE INTERIOR OF ALASKA AND EAST INTO THE YUKON
CONTINUES TO HOLD ON VERY STRONGLY THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON. AM
BEGINNING TO SEE MODEL EVIDENCE OF A DIMINISHING INVERTED TROUGH
OVER THE EASTERN GULF BEGINNING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WILL NOT SEE
MUCH OF A RELAXATION IN OUTFLOW WINDS THOUGH. A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DROP DOWN INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA JUST AS
THE TROUGH BEGINS TO WEAKEN, THUS KEEPING THE STRONG NORTHEASTERLY
PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE FOR ONE MORE DAY. STRONGEST WINDS
CONTINUE TO BE LOCATED OVER THE NORTHERN INNER CHANNELS WITH
NORTHERLY GALES ALL DAY IN NORTHERN LYNN CANAL AND FREQUENT GUSTS
TO 45 MPH IN THE DOWNTOWN JUNEAU AND DOUGLAS AREA. PARAMETERS USED
TO PREDICT TAKU WINDS NOT QUITE STRONG ENOUGH TO ISSUE A HIGH WIND
WARNING FOR ZONE 25, BUT DO THINK WINDS WILL BE GUSTING TO 50 MPH
BY LATE TONIGHT. SLIGHTLY LESS GUSTY TOMORROW.
COLDER THAN NORMAL LOW LEVEL AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE COURTESY OF
THE NORTHEASTERLY OUTFLOW WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES AT NIGHT. AM GOING
WITH PERSISTENCE OF ACTUAL OBSERVATIONS FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS AND
DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD BASED ON AN UNCHANGING
AIRMASS AND RECENT FORECAST BIAS OF AS MUCH AS 4 DEGREES
FAHRENHEIT TOO COLD OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS.
STILL NO POP IN THE FORECAST, SO NO RAIN VERSUS SNOW ISSUES.
MODELS ARE TRYING TO PUT FOG IN PETERSBURG FOR LATE TONIGHT.
BELIEVE CONDITIONS ARE FAR TOO DRY, SO HAVE EXCLUDED THIS FROM THE
FORECAST AS WELL AS THE PETERSBURG TAF. ONLY OTHER AVIATION ISSUE
TO MENTION IS THE WIND SHEAR IN THE JUNEAU TAF. HAVE 35 TO 40 KTS
FROM THE SURFACE TO 2000 FT ALTITUDE FOR THE ENTIRE 24 HR PERIOD.
THE JUNEAU AREA WIND SYSTEM (JAWS) DISPLAY HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTING
SEVERAL OF THE APPROACH CORRIDORS WITH MODERATE OR SEVERE
TURBULENCE ALL DAY TODAY.
USED NAM FOR UPDATES TO PRESSURE AND WIND. TEMPS BASED ON
PERSISTENCE. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE.
&&
.LONG TERM...THE UPSTREAM BLOCKING RIDGE CONTINUES TO BREAK DOWN
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER LOW PUSHES UNDERNEATH THE HIGH CENTER
OVER WESTERN ALASKA. THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IS
WEAKENING AS ROTATES INTO THE FAR SOUTHERN GULF FRIDAY AND BRING
JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIP TO FAR SOUTHERN AREAS. FLOW ALOFT
OVER PANHANDLE TURNS ONSHORE OVER THE WEAKEN AS A SERIES OF WEAK
TROUGHS MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AND EVENTUALLY CARVES OUT A NE-SW
TROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH
DRY...COOL...AND LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS. WINDS EXPECTED TO BE
ABOVE SMCR BUT LEES THAN GALE. MOISTURE WILL BE ON THE INCREASE
OVER THE PANHANDLE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND. HAVE A
CHANCE OF RAIN FOR SOUTHERN ZONES ON SATURDAY SPREADING TO
NORTHERN AREAS SUNDAY. TEMPS AND WET BUILD TEMPERATURES SHOULD
SUPPORT SNOW AT THE ONSET BUT IN GENERALLY EXPECT A WARMING TO
BEGIN LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH PRECIP
TRENDING TO RAIN.
HAD GOOD AND CONSISTENT MODEL AGREEMENT THROUGH SATURDAY. AFTER
THIS DIFFERENCES BEGIN TO ARISE BETWEEN EC AND GFS ON POSITION OF
SYSTEM MOVING INTO GULF ON MONDAY. USED NAM TO UPDATE WINDS THROUGH
FRIDAY AND AN HPC AND EC MIX FOR LATER PERIODS.
.AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
