SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
537 AM AKST THU JAN 26 2012

.SHORT TERM...SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE ACROSS THE PANHANDLE THIS
MORNING AS COLD OCEAN-MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR STREAMS IN FROM THE
WEST. SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE NOT VERY COLD WITH MOST PLACES
HOVERING IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S THIS MORNING. IT IS ALOFT
WHERE THE AFFECTS OF THE WARMER OCEAN WATER CAN NOT REACH THAT
WELL, WHERE THE COLDER AIR IS. 850 MB TEMPS OVER THE PANHANDLE
ARE AROUND -14 C ACCORDING TO THE 12 Z RAOBS FROM YAKUTAT AND
ANNETTE. MORE THAN COLD ENOUGH FOR PRECIP TO BE IN THE FORM OF
SNOW. ALL THIS AIR IS ROTATING AROUND A NEARLY STATIONARY LOW IN
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THAT WILL NOT MOVE MUCH OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS. EMBEDDED IN THE GENERAL WEST FLOW ARE A FEW WEAK WAVES
OF VORTICITY. ONE IS JUST NOW CROSSING 140 W LONGITUDE, AND THE
SECOND IS OVER BY 150 W AT THE MOMENT.

FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT, IT IS THESE WAVES THAT WILL BRING MOST OF
THE CHANGES IN THE WEATHER. WAVE ONE WILL REACH THE PANHANDLE LATE
THIS MORNING OR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND BRING A SLIGHT INCREASE
TO THE SHOWERS OVER THE SOUTH TODAY. WAVE TWO WILL BE THE ONE TO
WATCH AS IT MOVES EAST. ABOVE IT IS A DECENT LOBE OF VORTICITY AND
THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 100 KT 500 MB JET STREAK. BUT BECAUSE
THIS WAVE IS NOT ON A NOTICEABLE BOUNDARY OF ANY SORT, IT WILL NOT
STRENGTHEN VERY MUCH BEFORE IT MAKES IT ASHORE LATER TONIGHT. EVEN
SO, I AM STILL EXPECTING SOME GALE FORCE WESTERLY WINDS ON THE
SOUTH SIDE OF THE LOW TO AFFECT MARINE ZONES 41 AND 42 LATER
TONIGHT AS THE LOW MOVES BY. ON LAND, THE EXISTING SHOWERS WILL BE
ENHANCED BY THE TWO WAVES, PARTICULARLY OVER THE SOUTH. HYDER
LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE SHOWERS. I HAVE DECIDED
TO ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR HYDER AS IT LOOKS LIKE THE
SNOW WILL PILE UP ENOUGH TO WARRANT IT THERE LATER TODAY AND
TONIGHT. ELSEWHERE,SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SOME 1 TO 3 INCH
SNOWFALLS HERE AND THERE, BUT TRAINING MAY CAUSE LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS.

MODEL AGREEMENT WAS NOT TOO BAD TODAY BUT SOME DISAGREEMENT WERE
PRESENT IN REGARDS TO THE TWO WEAK WAVES. MOSTLY THESE DIFFERENCES
WERE IN REGARD TO TIMING AND STRENGTH. DECIDED TO STICK WITH NAM
WITH SOME MIXING OF SOME OF OUR HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS TO GET
THE DETAILS THAT I WANTED. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS A LITTLE ABOVE
AVERAGE.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...FRIDAY STARTS OFF WITH A
TROUGH EXITING THE REGION TO THE EAST AND CAUSING SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS. A WESTERLY JET WILL HELP TO ENHANCE SHOWERS ALONG WEST
FACING MOUNTAINS. MOST PERSISTENT/HEAVIEST SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AS AN UPPER LEVEL VORT MAX PASSES THEN
DIMINISH INTO THE AFTERNOON. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO
THE GULF OVERNIGHT FRIDAY. THE ASSOC WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH
INTO THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE EARLY SATURDAY...STARTING AS SNOW THEN
CHANGING OVER TO RAIN. AS THE LOW CENTER APPROACHES FLOW WILL TURN
OFFSHORE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE...DECREASING CHANCES OF
SNOW...AND TURNING SURFACE WINDS OUT OF THE NORTH WITH COOLER AIR
BEING DRAWN IN FROM CANADA. FROM ABOUT JUNEAU SOUTH TEMPERATURES
WILL WARM ENOUGH TO BE MAINLY RAIN BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND HEAVY
AT TIMES ALONG THE FAR SOUTHERN COAST. PRECIP CHANCES WILL SLOWLY
INCREASE FOR THE FAR NORTHERN AREAS AS THE LOW MOVES NORTH THROUGH
SUNDAY ALONG WITH THE SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES AS WELL. THE
YAKUTAT AREA LOOKS TO BE THE LAST TO SEE SNOW/RAIN FROM THIS
SYSTEM.

MODELS DIVERGE AFTER SUNDAY...KEEPING FORECASTER CONFIDENCE BELOW
AVERAGE FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEK. IN GENERAL SHOWERS ARE LIKELY
EACH DAY AND TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE JUST AT THE RAIN/SNOW MIX LINE.
DUE TO MODEL VARIABILITY ONLY MADE MINOR CHANGES TO PRESSURE AND
WINDS. NUDGED OTHER FIELDS TOWARD THE ECMWF SINCE IT INITIALIZED
WELL AND USED BOTH GFS AND ECMWF FOR TEMPERATURES AS THEY SHOWED THE
COLDER TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE NORTH WHEN EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND.
