SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
347 PM AKST MON DEC 2 2013
.SHORT TERM...RIDGE ALOFT OVER THE GULF WILL DOMINATE THE
WEATHER INTO TUE. HIGH PRESSURE OVER NW CANADA WILL GRADUALLY
WEAKEN THRU TUE. INVERTED TROF EXTENDING NW INTO THE ERN GULF
WILL ALSO WEAKEN SLOWLY THRU TUE. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON
THIS SCENARIO AND WITH THE CURRENT GRIDS SO MOST CHANGES WERE FOR
SMALLER SCALE EFFECTS.
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE WINDS...TEMPS...AND POTENTIAL FOR
FOG. WITH THE TROF OVER THE ERN GULF AND HIGH OVER NW CANADA
WEAKENING...EXPECT A GENERAL DECREASE IN WINDS. HOWEVER...THE
MORE E-W CHANNELS WILL SEE LESS OF A DIMINISHING TREND THAN THE
N-S CHANNELS DUE TO THE GRADIENT ORIENTATION GRADUALLY SHIFTING
TO FAVOR THE MORE E-W CHANNELS THRU TUE. SOME AREAS WILL
COMPLETELY DECOUPLE FROM THE FLOW ALOFT AND HAVE WINDS GO CALM
TONIGHT.
AS FOR TEMPS...THEY WILL BE HIGHLY VARIABLE SPATIALLY AND WILL
DEPEND ON THE WIND. WIND SHELTERED AREAS WILL LIKELY FALL INTO
THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS TONIGHT...WHILE THE WINDIER AREAS
WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 20S TO LOWER 30S. TEMPS TUE SHOULD
RECOVER TO NEAR THE VALUES THEY REACHED TODAY...IF NOT A BIT
WARMER.
WITH WINDS IN SOME AREAS BECOMING LIGHT...AND GIVEN HOW STRONG
THE INVERSION WILL BE...THINK PATCHY FOG WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT.
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SOME OTHER LOW CLOUDS FORMED AS
WELL...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS LOW SO WILL MAINTAIN MOSTLY
CLEAR FOR THE FORECAST.
.LONG TERM...THE FORECAST MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND BUT THEN THEY BEGIN TO DIVERGE SUNDAY INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT WILL REMAIN ON THE DRY SIDE WITH SOME
MODERATION OF TEMPS AND SOME STRONG WINDS FROM THE NNE. OVERALL
THERE WAS MINOR CHANGES DONE TO THE FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY AND
USED A BLEND OF THE EC/NAM THROUGH DAY 4 THEN REFRESHED THE
EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST WITH THE LATEST WPC.
AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD THE UPPER HIGH OVER THE GULF
WILL PERSIST TO KEEP THE FORECAST AREA DRY AND MOSTLY CLOUD FREE.
THE WINDS WILL RELAX SOME AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT DIMINISHES WITH
WINDS LESS THAN 20 KT. THERE WILL BE A UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE THAT
WILL SLIDE SE FROM THE INTERIOR AND SEND IN SOME COLDER AIR INTO
BC. THIS WILL STRENGTHEN THE INTERIOR HIGH PRESSURE AND THE
N GRADIENT ACROSS THE NORTHER INNER CHANNELS WED AFTERNOON INTO
THURSDAY. THIS INCREASE IN PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE THE
WINDS TO GALES IN NORTHERN LYNN WITH STRONG WINDS OVER ZONE 18/19.
SMALL CRAFT WINDS FROM THE NORTH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE REST OF THE
NORTH CENTRAL INNER CHANNELS. THERE IS ALSO INDICATION THAT THERE
WILL BE A WEAK TAKU WIND EVENT IN THE JUNEAU AREA BUT AT THIS TIME
JUST THINKING THERE WILL BE GUSTS RANGING FROM 40 TO 50 MPH WED
NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING. THE HIGH WILL SLIDE SE THROUGH THURSDAY
AND INCREASE THE GUSTS TO 50 KT FROM INTERIOR PASSES ALONG THE
COAST RANGE.
THE HIGH WILL SLIDE OUT OF CANADA BY FRIDAY SO ALL THE STRONG
