Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
530 AM AKST Sat Jan 13 2018
.SHORT TERM.../Through Sun night/ Very active short term period
this morning. The remains of the front that went through the
panhandle last night is on its way out. Southerly flow through the
inner channels was not as strong as anticipated with several areas
in the northern inner channels retaining a N wind overnight. The
result is cooler temperatures for many areas this morning and a
delay on when precip changed over from snow to rain. Speaking of
snow, accumulations from last night have mainly been collected
from the Juneau area so far, which received around 5 to 6 inches
overnight.
Brief break today from the precip and winds as we end up between
two fronts. It will not last long as the next front comes roaring
in from the south this afternoon. Initial precip bands and winds
associated with the warm frontal part of the system bringing in
very strong warm air advection. High temps Sunday easily expected
to be in the 40s with some southern locations possibly approaching
50. Trailing cold front dangles due south from Cape Fairweather
after the initial warm front moves through and makes very little
east/west progress as it wobbles through the gulf due to various
shore waves that form along it. Short range models have been
having trouble representing these short waves, particularly one on
Sun.
With the strong warm air advection, many areas expected to be warm
enough for rain by this afternoon. The Haines Road (due to cold
air damming) and Klondike Highway (due to high elevation) will be
the exceptions. A winter weather advisory for a wintry mix has
been issued for the Haines Road this afternoon as the warm air
overrunning the cold air dammed in the Chilkat Valley will likely
be strong enough to produce a mix of snow, rain, freezing rain,
and/or sleet before temperatures warm enough to make the precip
all rain. The Klondike Highway has a winter storm warning for
White Pass tonight for snow accumulation of 5 to 8 inches.
The nearly stationary cold front will continue to funnel rain
northward in the wake of the warm front. Integrated water vapor
transport forecasts are rather high with the bulk of the rain
aimed at the northern panhandle and NE gulf coast. QPF forecasts
are high but some uncertainly exists particularly in the northern
inner channels. This rain along with the warm temperatures
melting snow could cause some river to rise over the next few days
but no flooding is expected. Inner channels may dry out a little
toward Sun night as a developing wave along the front pulls the
front west.
Winds are also a factor, but the bulk of the winds will be out in
the gulf. Gale and even storm force winds expected throughout the
next 48 hours out there. Lower winds expected for the panhandle,
but there still will be enough for small craft advisories for many
inner channels as well as gusts to 40 mph for the eastern gulf
coast tonight and Sunday.
Short range models in fair agreement for the first 24 hours then
diverge with handling a developing wave along the front on Sun
night. ECMWF and Nam main guidance used for updates.
.LONG TERM.../Monday through Friday/ The early part of the long-
term period will start off as warm and wet, before transitioning
to a warmer, drier pattern during mid-week. As a strong
atmospheric river wraps up, there is consensus for a low tracking
northward through the Gulf late Sunday into Monday. This
undercutting low will lead to offshore flow and help to dry out
the panhandle.
Additionally, most of the long-term focus yesterday evening was
shifted to the short-term due to an active frontal passage and
ongoing snow/ precipitation issues. As a result, no major changes
were made and models still give a general idea of this next
system.
The weakening of the ridge over western Canada during the early
part of the period will allow for temperatures to remain above
average and decrease through the extended period as intermittent
amounts of shortwave energy are injected into the overall pattern.
This will bring persistent rounds of heavy precipitation across
the panhandle and gusty winds later into the week. Winds over the
inner channels will remain relatively light during the early part
of the period due to the parallel pressure gradient.
POP and QPF were blended with the NAM and EC to better show the
clearing precipitation to the west of Yakutat. Temperatures were
increased Sunday into Monday to reflect the occurrence of warm air
advection, but minimal adjustments throughout the week and
remain within guidance.
Model spread increases gradually later on in the period, but with
some evidence of another low pressure system tracking from the
eastern Aleutians through the Gulf into Thursday. However, confidence
remains moderate for the timing of the next low into Monday.
