Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
322 PM AKST Thu Feb 18 2021

.SHORT TERM...Our storm force low resulted in some high wind gusts
of 60 to 70 mph in Ketchikan early this morning. No real
verification was recorded on Prince of Wales Island at this point.
Expect gusty winds for the entire Panhandle from Juneau south
tonight as the low churns offshore. The warm sector has reached
the southern Panhandle in the least. Farther north in Juneau and
the Icy Strait corridor we experience snow falling in the mid to
high 30s with no real impacts, even as it often feels like a light
rain. Meanwhile, winter weather advisories run through 9 AM Friday
morning for both Haines and Hyder. Because of the dry but
potentially cooling air of both locations, precipitation actually
began late which could threaten final amounts, but our confidence
in the advisories still stands as both have reported visibility of
2 miles or less this mid-afternoon.

The low slowly moves into Chichagof Island Friday morning. As it
moves inland precipitation will be enhanced in the northern
Panhandle, which will mostly see rain Friday. We are looking for a
southerly surge behind the exiting system as a ridge builds to
replace it late Friday. Skagway will be gusty and potentially
Haines as well, especially Friday night with potentially warmer
temperatures than what we currently advertise.

Our quite active pattern continues on Saturday as a front lifts
north into our region. With such an orientation, we feel confident
that northerlies will advect cooler air into the northern
Panhandle, thus producing a snow threat for much of the north,
including Juneau but with higher confidence in Upper Lynn
Canal. Snow amounts could warrant watches at some point.
Confidence was high enough to lower high temperatures in
anticipation of snow melt cooling in drier air. Otherwise, rain
amounts for the southern half of the Panhandle will be quite a bit
higher than with the system transiting Thursday night.

Confidence is highest in the southern Panhandle with once again
lower confidence on the timing and track of the rain/snow line
across the Juneau/Upper Lynn Canal region.

.LONG TERM.../Saturday through Thursday as of 10 pm Wednesday/
Saturday begins as a low pressure system weakens into a shortwave
over the northern panhandle. A new stronger low moves into the
northern gulf by Saturday afternoon along with associated front.
Aloft, a broad area of low pressure will be in place allowing for
westerly onshore flow to continue. This pattern will support
multiple waves of energy to impact the panhandle through the
extent of the long term. Forecast confidence is moderate through
Sunday but by Monday alignment between models begin to degrade in
timing of each passing low pressure. Therefore, efforts were
focused on the weekend.

With an active pattern developing, daytime highs are expected to
warm with each passing system. Each low looks to erode away at the
arctic air that is in place as midlevel warm air advects into the
panhandle. Daytime highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s and
overnight lows in the mid to upper 30s are expected through the
weekend. Although a warming trend is expected forecast challenges
still exist across the northern panhandle as precipitation type
could remain marginal between rain and snow depending on frontal
passage and diurnal tendencies.

Temperatures have been a challenge as ensemble data support
cooler temperatures but MOS data as well as modeled atmospheric
dynamics support warmer temperatures. For Saturday into Sunday,
ptype will be the main focus. Current thinking is that overnight
lows will be cold enough to support snow through parts of the
central and northern panhandle and as the front lifts north
through Saturday evening. The question is how warm will
temperatures rise. Parallel pressure gradients don't support
strong southerly flow which could allow temps to stay cool across
the far north. For now, thinking is that across the south, all
rain, across the central panhandle, snow becoming all rain, and
across the north, snow changing to rain then back to snow Saturday
night. For Sunday, much of the same as the broad area of low
pressure keeps precipitation throughout the panhandle.
