Area forecast discussion, Nov 21, 5:53 AM AKST, 10 hours 7 minutes before
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
553 AM AKST WED NOV 21 2012
.SHORT TERM...SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED PATTERN IN THE GULF AND
NORTHEAST PACIFIC THIS MORNING. THERE ARE AROUND 4 SEPARATE
CIRCULATION CENTERS VISIBLE ON IR AND VIIRS NIGHTTIME VISIBLE
IMAGES. THE STRONGEST IS WEST OF DIXON ENTRANCE CURRENTLY AND IS
SLOWLY WEAKENING AS IT REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY. A SECOND LOW
IS JUST SE OF KODIAK ISLAND, A THIRD IS AROUND 50N 140W, AND THE
FOURTH IS A VERY WEAK ONE OVER HAIDA GWAII. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE SHOWERS THAT ARE OVER THE SOUTHERN INNER CHANNELS AT THE
MOMENT. KETCHIKAN AND ANNETTE HAVE BEEN REPORTING RAIN MOST OF THE
MORNING AND THE RADAR SHOWS SOME SHOWERS AROUND SOUTHERN BARANOF
ISLAND AS WELL. PRECIP AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN LIGHT FOR THE MOST PART.
THESE FEATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 18
HOURS AS A DEVELOPING LOW IN THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF BEGINS TO
SPREAD ITS INFLUENCE INTO THE GULF.
ALSO AFFECTING THE AREA IS A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE
YUKON THAT ALONG WITH THE LOWS IN THE GULF ARE CAUSING STRONG COLD
OUTFLOW WINDS OVER MOST OF THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE. HAINES, SKAGWAY
AND JUNEAU ARE STILL UNDER STRONG WIND HEADLINES DUE TO THIS FOR
THE MORNING AND MOST NORTHERN INNER CHANNELS HAVE EITHER GALE
WARNINGS OR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES. THE WINDS IN JUNEAU ARE MAINLY
DUE TO A MODERATE TAKU WIND EVENT THAT PEAKED LAST NIGHT WITH
GUSTS TO 45 TO 50 KT AT SOUTH DOUGLAS AND THE FEDERAL BUILDING. THESE
WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY AS THE LOWS IN THE GULF
WEAKEN AWAY AND CROSS BARRIER FLOW DIMINISHES.
THINGS START TO GET INTERESTING LATE TONIGHT AS WE START TO GET
MORE INFLUENCE FROM THE DEVELOPING STRONG STORM IN THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC. BY 12Z THURS THE LOW WILL HAVE DROPPED TO 970 MB AND BE
AROUND 50N 145W. THE ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL BE MOVING NORTH THROUGH
THE NIGHT BUT WILL STILL BE SOUTH OF THE AREA BY LATE TONIGHT. THE
WINDS HOWEVER WILL NOT. I AM EXPECTING E TO SE WIND UP TO STORM
FORCE FOR THE SOUTHERN OUTER MARINE ZONE BY LATE TONIGHT AND GALES
FOR THE REST OF THE SOUTHERN INNER CHANNELS AND OUTER MARINE
ZONES. ON LAND, GUSTS COULD BE REACHING INTO THE 50 TO 60 MPH
RANGE BY LATE TONIGHT.
AS FOR PRECIP NOT MUCH IS EXPECTED YET. THE MAIN RAIN BANDS WILL
STILL BE SOUTH OF THE AREA BY LATE TONIGHT BUT SOME SHOWERS COULD
STILL REMAIN OVER THE PANHANDLE FROM THE NOW DISSIPATED LOWS THAT
WERE OVER THE AREA TODAY AS WELL AS FROM ANY WEAKER PRE-FRONTAL
BANDS. MOST OF THE PRECIP WILL BE OVER THE SOUTH AS THE NORTHERLY
OUTFLOW AND DRY COLD AIR OVER THE NORTH WILL INHIBIT THE PRECIP
FROM MAKING IT INTO THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE PANHANDLE. AS FOR
TYPE BARANOF ISLAND, PRINCE OF WALES, AND AREAS SOUTH OF WRANGELL
WILL BE WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN WITH MAYBE SOME SNOW MIXED IN AT
TIMES. NORTH OF THESE AREAS WILL SEE SNOW BUT ANY ACCUMULATIONS
WILL BE LIGHT IF PRECIP FALLS AT ALL.
SHORT RANGE MODELS WERE IN DECENT AGREEMENT FOR THE PERIOD. NAM
SEEMED TO HAVE THE BEST AGREEMENT WITH THE VARIOUS FEATURES THAT
WERE PRESENT OUT IN THE GULF THIS MORNING SO MAIN GUIDANCE WAS IN
THAT DIRECTION. GFS WAS A CLOSE SECOND, WHILE THE EC LAGGED BEHIND
DUE TO IT REPRESENTING THE FEATURES AS A LITTLE TOO WEAK. FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS ABOUT AVERAGE.
&&
.LONG TERM...A POWERFUL LOW IS EXPECTED DEVELOP AND MOVE TO THE
SOUTHERN GULF ON THURSDAY. THE WEATHER FRONT AND VERY STRONG WINDS
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST GULF WATERS EARLY THURSDAY MORNING
AND THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE PANHANDLE DURING THE DAY. LOOKING FOR
60+ KT WINDS FOR PORTIONS OF THE GULF... AND POTENTIALLY GUSTS OF
6O TO 80 MPH OR MORE TO IMPACT THE PRINCE OF WALES ISLAND NORTH TO
SOUTHERN BARANOF ISLAND.
THE LOW POSITION AND STRENGTH OF THE LOW IS LEADING TO STRONG
CROSS BARRIER FLOW IN THE JUNEAU AREA THAT IS FAVORABLE TO TAKU
LIKE WINDS FOR THURSDAY IN THE DOWNTOWN JUNEAU AREA AND DOUGLAS.
AS THE FRONT MOVES NORTH ON THURSDAY THE PRECIPITATION WILL HAVE
TO OVERCOME DOWNSLOPE CONDITIONS IN THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
PANHANDLE. ANOTHER ISSUE IS HOW MUCH WARMING WILL BE GOING ON AND
IMPACTING THE PRECIPITATION TYPE.
THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE PANHANDLE WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR
FRIDAY AS WELL AS THE LOW APPROACHES PRINCE OF WALES ISLAND
ANOTHER BATCH OF GUSTY WINDS WILL LIKELY AFFECT THEM THE AS WELL.
AFTER THAT THE LOW WEAKENS MORE AND SLIDES EAST LEAVING RESIDUAL
SHOWERS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND ANOTHER SYSTEM TRYING TO SPREAD
EARLY NEXT WEEK. CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY GOOD TO ABOUT SATURDAY AND
THEN FALLS OFF TO AVERAGE OR SLIGHTLY LESS FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
