SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
417 PM AKST THU FEB 2 2012
.SHORT TERM...A POWERFUL STORM IS APPROACHING SOUTHEAST ALASKA
FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AND FEATURES STORM FORCE MARINE WINDS,
HIGH WINDS OVER VARIOUS PUBLIC ZONES, HEAVY RAIN, AND FOR HIGHER
ELEVATIONS ALONG THE KLONDIKE AND HAINES HIGHWAYS, HEAVY SNOW.
MOISTURE PLUME WITH TROPICAL CONNECTIONS EXTENDS WELL TO THE
SOUTH PAST CALIFORNIA. LARGE AREA OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION WILL
TRACK OVER THE PANHANDLE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE SHORT
TERM FORECAST PERIOD AS RAIN/SNOW CHANGES TO SHOWERS IN THE POST
FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. VERY STRONG WARM FRONTAL SIGNATURE, SO MOST
PLACES WILL SEE RAIN. EXCEPTIONS ARE HAINES AND SKAGWAY WHERE
WINTER STORM WARNINGS ARE IN PLACE TO COVER EXPECTED 6 TO 11
INCHES AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS ALONG THE HAINES AND KLONDIKE
HIGHWAYS. WARM FRONT WILL ALSO RESULT IN LITTLE COOLING TONIGHT
AND HAVE VERY LITTLE DIURNAL CHANGE OVERNIGHT. COLDER AIR ON THE
BACK SIDE OF THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN TOMORROW'S HIGHER OCCURRING
EARLY ON IN THE DAY WITH TEMPS SLOWLY FALLING THROUGH THE DAY
FRIDAY.
MAJOR FORECAST ISSUE IN THE SHORT TERM ARE THE WINDS AND WIND
GUSTS. 850 MB JET CORE BETWEEN 80 AND 100 KNOTS EXTENDS FROM CLOSE
COASTAL VICINITY YAKUTAT TO CAPE SPENCER, THEN SOUTHEAST ACROSS
SOUTHERN ADMIRALTY ISLAND AND OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF KUPREANOF
ISLAND. CANCELLED THE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR ZONES 20, 21, 24, AND 25
AND LEFT THEM ALL WITH STRONG WIND HEADLINES AND GUSTS TO 55 MPH.
UPGRADED ZONE 23 TO HIGH WIND WARNING AS WELL AS ADDED ZONES 17
AND 26. WINDS GUSTS ALONG THE OUTER COAST COULD REACH 70 MPH, BUT
GENERALLY LIMITED THE WARNING VERBAGE TO 60 MPH. CONFIDENCE IS
ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THESE WARNING AREAS. HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT
ZONE 25, TO INCLUDE DOWNTOWN JUNEAU AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH
OBSERVATIONS FROM THE AIRPORT AND DOWNTOWN CLOSELY.
USED GFS FOR CHANGES TO THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. OVERALL
CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...FRIDAY NIGHT STARTS
OFF WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WEAKENING TO THE NORTH AND PRECIP
AND WINDS DIMINISHING. MOST PRECIP REMAINING IN THE AREA WILL BE
ACROSS THE NORTH AND TEMPERATURES WILL FALL THROUGH THE EVENING
CHANGING OVER TO SNOW. EXPECT ABOUT 1 TO 3 INCHES OVER THE
NORTHERN AREAS BEFORE SHOWERS BECOME MORE SCATTERED AND
DIMINISHING THROUGH SATURDAY.
STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS THROUGH THE INSIDE WATERS WILL DECREASE
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AS A SURFACE RIDGE WEAKENS. EXPECT WINDS TO
SHIFT TO THE NORTH BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND INCREASE TO GALE
FORCE SATURDAY NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE GULF AND HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE YUKON. THE LOW TO THE SOUTH WIN BRING
STRONG WINDS TO THE COASTAL AREAS AND THROUGH CLARENCE STRAIT LATE
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. PRECIP ASSOC WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL REACH THE
COAST ALSO SUNDAY MORNING.
THE PATTERN BECOMES STAGNANT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD
WITH LOWS IN THE GULF AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER BE. AS A RESULT A
GENERAL EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW WILL BE OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL
KEEP POPS SLIGHTLY LOW WITH MORE BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER.
HOWEVER RAIN WILL BECOME LIKELY AS LOWS AND WAVES PROGRESS ACROSS THE
GULF. THESE LOWS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE
WITH MOST PRECIP FALLING AS RAIN. THE HIGH OVER BC AND N-E FLOW
WILL KEEP A COLD BOUNDARY ALONG THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS...WHICH MAY
CAUSE AREAS WITH NORTHERLY PASSES/GAPS TO BE SLIGHTLY COOLER AND
MORE LIKELY TO SEE ANY SNOW.
UPDATED THE GOING FORECAST WITH THE GFS...HOWEVER LONG RANGE
MODELS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD KEEPING
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE AVERAGE TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE.
