Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
239 PM AKST Wed Feb 21 2018

.SHORT TERM.../ Wednesday night to Friday night / Incoming system
on Thursday and Thursday night has been main focus of the forecast
package. Generally minor changes to the strength of the PoPs
tonight into Thursday with the low moving through the area. With
the Winter Storm Watch in place were careful to not overall
disrupt the plans.

A rain snow change over line lies along from north of Sitka to
near Ketchikan, with rain generally southwest of there, while a
snow to wet snow on the north sides. Right now the forecast for
Juneau and Petersburg Wrangell areas are looking like 5 to 9
inches in roughly 12 hours. Will be leaving the watch in effect
for this afternoon rather than making an upgrade as situation is
seeming borderline. Believe one more model will tip the decision
making one way or another.

For Friday and into Saturday after conferring with Anchorage we
adjust winds to handle to a transition into the later periods and
adjust for missing data runs to keep a more fluent weather track.
Most of the editing for this area was in the Saturday time block.

Forecast confidence is average.

.LONG TERM...Friday through Wednesday...As of 9pm Tuesday, we
appear to be heading into a slightly more active and progressive
pattern for the long term. The upper level ridge that will have
been a constant feature up until this point will retreat further
into western Canada and weaken as an upper level trough
strengthens over the panhandle on Friday and takes its place.
According to potential temperature analysis, a weak surface low
will develop along the northeast gulf coast using energy from
this upper level feature and slowly move southeast along the SE
Alaska coastline. This should keep some lingering convective
precipitation going across the panhandle, as forecast soundings
indicate steep lapse rates and plenty of cold air advection as the
low pushes through. An upper level ridge will then fill in behind
this feature Friday night before another shortwave develops out of
mainland Alaska on Saturday and impacts the panhandle Saturday
night into Sunday. Deterministic models have come into better
agreement regarding this developing shortwave, but we were
cautious about really going that route with the forecast, as there
is still plenty of uncertainty regarding the position, strength,
and timing of this low. This will be something that bears
watching as we receive more data.

Generally, we opted not to make very many substantial changes to
the long term forecast due to the uncertainty regarding
deterministic model solutions. We predominantly worked with the
12Z Friday to 12Z Saturday period using a combination of the GFS
and NAM. We also added in NBM for changes to PoP and to decrease
temperatures in the later periods to be in line with model
spreads, and we used GEM for snow ratios and subsequent snow
amounts.

&&

.AVIATION...Flight conditions for Wednesday evening will be VFR
across Southeast Alaska. Conditions will deteriorate overnight
from the northwest. Am expecting Northern panhandle ceilings to
fall into the Marginal Flight rules and Visibilities lowering in
the snow. Will also see this shift southward during the day before
the afternoon.

&&

.MARINE...No Marine hazards through tonight with small craft
advisories starting to arrive for the southern outside waters.
Winds will be increasing during the day Thursday, so northcentral
inner channels increasing to 25 kt with Lynn Canal climbing to 35
kt by late afternoon.

.AJK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
