Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
305 PM AKDT Thu Oct 18 2018
.SHORT TERM.../Through Saturday night/ A wet and windy night as
well as friday is still in the works as a storm force front moves
over the panhandle. Low level jet strength along the front is
still suggested to be around 50 to 65 kt over most of the
panhandle as the front moves through which is plenty for gusts of
40 to 55 mph at the surface for most areas. Strong wind headlines
have been issued for most of the panhandle as a result. The high
wind watch that was up for the Sitka and Pelican area has been
changed to a strong wind headline as concerns about low level flow
being more offshore here as well as the possibility that the
atmosphere might be a little too stable to allow the really high
winds aloft to shift down to the surface. The northern gulf coast
on the other hand has the double whammy of the initial front
followed by the second wrap coming in later on Friday. Guidance
today has shifted the position of the second wrap farther east
into a more favorable position for high winds at Yakutat. As a
result, the high wind watch that was up for Yakutat has been
upgraded to a warning for gusts up to 65 mph mainly for when the
second wrap comes in on Fri. Winds gradually diminish after
frontal passage through Sat though Lynn Canal and Skagway may need
until Sat night for winds to diminish there. Winds in the gulf
then start to increase again as the next front starts to advance.
Rain will be the other concern with this front. Satellite Precipiable
Water retrievals show a well developed tropical connection with
values of just over an inch in PW throughout the plume (which is
around 150% of normal). Guidance for Water Vapor Transport show
this area of high PW is still aimed for the panhandle. Heaviest
rainfall is expected late tonight into early Friday with total
rainfall expected to be around 1 to 3 inches total. Rain rapidly
changes to convective showers post front as cooler air moves in
behind the system. The cooler air aloft above the warmer waters of
the gulf will destabilize the atmosphere enough that many of the
showers could have heavy rain and some may be strong enough to be
thunderstorms. Thus a large area of isolated thunderstorms is in
the forecast for Fri into Fri night for the gulf and outer coast.
Showers will persist into the weekend gradually diminishing in
intensity and frequency. Rain becomes heavy again into Sat night
for the northern gulf coast and gulf as the next front moves in.
Overall guidance was fairly good with few large scale changes
needed. Main change from yesterday was the inclusion of a weaker
triple point low just to the east of the main stronger low early
Friday. This shifted the strong winds of the second wrap farther
east putting it more in line with Yakutat.
.LONG TERM...Saturday through Thursday as of 10 pm Wednesday...Deep
long wave trough centered from the Bering Sea southward through
the western Gulf and into the NPAC will dominate the weather over
SE AK through mid next week. This will lead to several chances for
significant precipitation and wind through the period. The first
such system will be lifting into the western Gulf early Saturday
as a 970 mb surface low. The associated front will drift east and
cross the Panhandle through early Monday. Ensemble IVT
probabilities from GEFS show 70-80% probs of IVT greater than 500
kg/m/s over the southern Panhandle late Sunday into early Monday
which correlates well to moderate to heavy rainfall. This system
looks to have an extremely long fetch of moisture stretching all
the way into the western NPAC so there will likely be additional
much needed rainfall to the drought stricken southern Panhandle
with this system. GEFS ensemble average QPF for Metlakatla Monday
through Thursday is around 3 inches which is good news for these
areas.
Strong zonal Pacific jet with a core of around 160kt will
broaden the long wave pattern over the Gulf of Alaska after the
Monday system. This will push the storm track further south next
week with the potential for one or two significant storms in the
SE Gulf while allowing temperatures to cool a bit over the
northern Panhandle with a bit more cyclonic flow aloft. Model
agreement is decent in the long wave pattern but quite poor in
resolving individual systems after Monday.

.HYDROLOGY...The high rain rates expected with the strong front
coming in will cause local rivers and streams to rise with the
greatest rises likely on smaller basins. Some of the smaller
rivers and streams may reach bankfull mid day Fri before the
higher rain rates move out of the area.

A storm force low pressure system will bring significant weather to SE Alaska on Friday. Rainfall will begin Thursday evening along the southern outer coast with a warm front, becoming heavy at times as it spreads northward overnight. The cold front will be stronger, moving inland west to east across the panhandle Friday morning. Rainfall rates will increase to around a half inch over 3 hours, for a total of 1 to 3 inches through Friday night. A High Wind Warning is in effect for the Outer Coast from Cape Fairweather to Cape Suckling. The rest of the outer coast and locations near Clarence Strait will see a short period of strong wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph out of the SE with the frontal passage. Wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph are also forecast over the remainder of the inner channels. Expect a wind shift to the SW behind the front. Due to the fast moving nature of this weather system and some drying that has occurred during the day Thursday, flooding will be limited. However, rapidly responding creeks and rivers will likely reach bankfull or even approach minor flood stage for a short period of time. Ponding of water on roadways is also likely. Fritsch
