Area forecast discussion, Feb 19, 3:49 PM AKST, 11 minutes before
SOUTHEAST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
349 PM AKST FRI FEB 19 2016
.SHORT TERM...A FRONT IS MOVING OVER THE PANHANDLE AS OF THIS
AFTERNOON AND LIGHT SNOW WAS REPORTED EARLIER FROM JUNEAU SOUTH.
SNOW HAS CHANGED TO RAIN FOR THE FAR SOUTHERN ZONES. COLDER
TEMPERATURES TO THE NORTH SUPPORT MODERATE SNOW ACCUMULATION
OVERNIGHT. HAVE AROUND 1 INCH IN THE JUNEAU AREA FOR TONIGHT AND
ALSO TOMORROW MORNING. LOOKING FOR AROUND 2 INCHES IN HAINES AND
SKAGWAY ONCE THE PRECIP REACHES THAT FAR NORTH. IN HOONAH,
GUSTAVUS, HYDER AND TENAKEE SPRINGS, AM EXPECTING AROUND 1 INCH
FOR TONIGHT. ELSEWHERE, LOW LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION HAS, OR WILL,
WARMED UP SURFACE TEMPS TO ABOVE FREEZING, SO PRECIP SHOULD FALL
AS RAIN. BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON, WARM AIR WILL ADVANCE AS FAR NORTH
AS LYNN CANAL, LEAVING ONLY THE FAR NORTHERN INNER CHANNELS AS
LOCATIONS WHERE SNOW IS POSSIBLE BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
BY TOMORROW, THE NEXT FRONT WILL BE ADVANCING TOWARDS THE OUTER
COAST FROM THE SOUTHWEST. PRECIP FROM THIS SYSTEM NOT EXPECTED TO
BE A FACTOR FOR THIS SHORT RANGE FORECAST PERIOD, BUT WINDS WILL
DEFINITELY BE ON THE INCREASE. AS THE CURRENT LOW DEPARTS TO THE
NORTHWEST, MARINE WINDS OVER THE GULF WILL RE-ORGANIZE OUT OF THE
SOUTHEAST AND STEADILY INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY. GALE WILL SPREAD
NORTH OVER THE COASTAL MARINE ZONES BY LATE MORNING AND HAVE A
STORM WARNING OUT FOR LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON FOR COASTAL ZONE 51.
INNER CHANNEL RESPONSES INCLUDE GALES FOR CLARENCE STRAIT,
SOUTHERN CHATHAM, AND CROSS SOUND. SMALL CRAFT WINDS ELSEWHERE
EXCEPT FOR NORTHERN LYNN CANAL. THE STRENGTH OF THIS FRONT AND
ITS PROXIMITY TO THE SOUTHERN OUTER COAST HAS PROMPTED THE
INCLUSION OF STRONG WIND HEADLINES FOR TOMORROW FOR THE OUTER
COAST FROM CAPE EDGECUMBE SOUTH...PRIMARILY FOR THE AFTERNOON.
USED A BLEND OF ECMWF AND GFS22 FOR UPDATES TO GULF WIND
DIRECTIONS. WIND SPEEDS FROM GFS22. POP AND QPF A BLEND OF
EXISTING GRIDS PLUS CURRENT CANADIAN WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM GFS40
AND ECMWF. MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO TEMP USING GFS MOS. OVERALL
CONFIDENCE IS AVERAGE.
.LONG TERM...COMPLEX WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH TRICKY
FORECAST DUE TO MULTIPLE FRONTS AND WAVES DEVELOPING ALONG THOSE
FRONTS. NEW MODELS RUNS VARY ON EXACT POSITION AND STRENGTH OF
THE FRONT BUT OVERALL ARE IN AGREEMENT FOR WINDY AND WET WEATHER
THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY WITH A WARMING TREND. LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
BEGINS A PERIOD OF DRIER WEATHER AND LIGHTER WINDS...JUST BEFORE
THE NEXT SYSTEM ADVANCES FROM THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC TOWARDS KODIAK
WITH ASSOCIATED FRONT CROSSING THE GULF BY LATE WEDNESDAY. WHILE
MODELS FOR THIS TIME FRAME ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE
EXISTENCE OF A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE TO THE EAST AND A LOW MOVING
IN FORM THE WEST...THEY ARE IN POOR AGREEMENT FOR THE EXACT
LOCATION OF THE THE RIDGE AXIS AND LOW CENTER.
FOR SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY THE FRONT DESCRIBED THE IN
SHORT TERM MOVES NORTHWARD WITH A WAVE DEVELOPING TO THE WEST.
WINDS INCREASE TO STORM FORCE IN THE NORTHERN COASTAL WATERS
UNDER AN 80 KT 850 MB LLJ. STRONG WINDS ALONG THE PANHANDLE COAST
CONTINUE FOR ZONES 27 AND 23 AND DEVELOP FOR ZONE 22 AS THE JET
MOVES NORTH. AS THE DEVELOPING WAVE MOVES NORTH WINDS ALONG THE
COASTAL WATERS MAY PICK BACK UP TO STORM FORCE, BUT FOR NOW
HOLDING OFF WITH MAX GALES. INNER CHANNEL WINDS REMAIN AT MAX
SMALL CRAFT OR PICK UP TO GALE FORCE AS THE FRONT ADVANCES. THE
FRONT WEAKENS LATE IN THE DAY SUNDAY WITH DECREASING WINDS AND A
RIDGE EXTENDING OVER THE PANHANDLE. AS PRESSURE GRADIENT BECOMES
PARALLEL NORTHERLY WINDS WILL DECREASE QUICKLY AND MAY SHIFT
SOUTH FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, OR THEY MAY JUST GO LIGHT. HIGHEST QPF
FROM THIS WAVE REMAIN OVER THE GULF AND AS TEMPS WARM AND SNOW
LEVEL RISE ONLY THE FAR NORTHERN PANHANDLE WILL STILL SEE ANY
SNOW SATURDAY NIGHT WITH ONLY A FEW INCHES OF ACCUMULATION BEFORE
PRECIP SHUTS OFF AS THE FRONT DISSIPATES.
AS STATED BEFORE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NEXT LOW
MOVING UP TOWARDS KODIAK AND THE ASSOCIATED FRONT ADVANCES ACROSS
THE GULF. THE BIG QUESTION FOR THIS TIME FRAME IS THE LOCATION OF
THE RIDGE AXIS THAT HAS BEEN SHIFTING EASTWARD OVER BRITISH
COLUMBIA. THE GFS KEEP THE RIDGE AND LOW FURTHER WEST, THUS KEEPS
THE PANHANDLE IN DRY WEATHER LONGER. ECMWF MOVES THE LOW AND
FRONT EASTWARD FASTER WHILE THE GEM IS IN A MIDDLE GROUND. FOR
THIS TIME FRAME WENT WITH AN ENSEMBLE SOLUTION USING WPC WHICH
PICK UP GULF WINDS TO GALE FORCE AND POPS AROUND 70%.
LIKED THE INITIALIZATION OF THE GFS/NAM, DID NOT LIKE THE ECMWF.
HOWEVER NAM QUICKLY BECAME AN OUTLIER WITH THE LOCATION OF THE
DEVELOPING WAVE AND THE ECMWF FELL IN LINE WITH THE GFS BY SUNDAY.
USED A BLEND OF GFS22 WITH SOME ECMWF THEN TRANSITIONED TO WPC BY
DAY 4 TO DAY 8. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS AVERAGE.
