Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
240 PM AKST Wed Jan 13 2021

.SHORT TERM...Ridge of high pressure over the Panhandle with
remnants of yesterday front keeping scattered showers activity
over the region. A number clear breaks were seen today between
showers. Cooler 850 mb temps moved in and along with some short
periods of higher precip rates the resulting showers were a mix
of rain and snow. So far no significant snow accumulation was
reported. This 'calm' weather will be short lived as the next
storm force low/front moves in. The parent low as seen on
satellite imagery will be located along the southwestern portion
of the AK Gulf with low center down to 965 mb by Thursday. This
main low center will then track north and weaken through Thursday
night. Frontal band moves up from the south late Wednesday night
reaching the southern coastal areas first. Cooler air will be
quickly replaced with the strong warm southerly winds so any mix
precip tonight should transition to all rain along the advancing
front with period of heavy rain. Except for norther areas and
higher elevations, such as the Haines and Klondike Highways, the
storm system will likely be mainly rain. The highways on the other
hand will see some significant snow accumulation with Haines
border getting highest amounts. Winter Storm Warning for zone 19
with a Winter Weather Advisory for zone 18 have been issued from 9
am Thursday to 9 am Friday with the afternoon package. Winds for
the rest of the region will be a bigger concern. For coastal areas
have issued a High Wind Warning for zone 23 and 27 form 9 am to 9
pm Thursday with wind gusts of 60 mph. For other locations wind
gusts should be lower, in the 40 to 50 mph range, since the main
low is further to the west and unlike previous model runs any wave
development along the front has been minimized. This does not
rule out chances of some higher gusts for the rest of the
panhandle as still seeing strong low level jet of 85 kts. Thursday
night into Friday as the front/low push north will have a
decrease in winds and precipitation, just in time for the next
deep low and strong front to move in for late Friday into
Saturday.

Not much change to pressure/winds, keeping with GFS/NAM as main
operational models. Trickiest part was the QPF and eventual snow
amounts for the northern areas. GFS/ECMWF went very high for the
north, but with the track not sure if these higher amounts will
get that far north. Used more NAMDNG for QPF which had some
locally lower values. For the rest of the panhandle atmospheric
river feeding in heavy rain still looks good, however at least for
now no flooding impacts expected.

.LONG TERM.../Friday through Wednesday night/...The parade of
storms continues into the long range with multiple systems moving
into the gulf through the middle of next week. The period begins
with an upper low in the western Gulf Friday morning. The upper
low then retrogrades northwest and becomes absorbed in the upper
flow as large scale ridging and onshore flow dominate the eastern
Gulf Friday night heading into Saturday. This same pattern is
expected to repeat itself through next week. Another upper low
approaches the central Gulf from the southwest on Saturday with
southwesterly flow setting up Sunday as this system becomes
absorbed in the main upper flow. Another system on its heels for
Monday follows nearly the same track as the previous ones. By the
middle of next week, models and ensembles all indicate a potential
pattern change as upper level ridging builds over the gulf and
much of the state.

At the surface, a complex low with waves rotating around it is
centered in the western gulf on Friday. As this low weakens and pushes
into the NW Gulf Coast, another surface low and associated gale
force front push into the gulf on Saturday. The parade of storm
systems continue through mid next week with another strong low and
front approaching the region Monday. Expect an increase in winds
in the gulf and through the Inner Channels as each front pushes
through with southwesterly flow setting up behind the fronts. By
mid next week as the upper ridge builds over the gulf, expect an
area of low pressure to move southeast along the gulf coast with
flow becoming dry and offshore as it passes by.

The sensible weather pattern will continue to be wet, as is
typical for this time of the year, with multiple fronts and waves
bringing plenty of precipitation. Locally heavy rain can be
expected as each front passes through with a showery pattern
setting up in the southwest flow in between each system. The
general onshore pattern will provide for continued warmer
(relatively speaking) air such that precip type will be
predominantly rain for lower elevations except the higher
elevations along the Haines and Klondike Highways.

Overall model agreement is good for the long term regarding the
general weather pattern. However, there are disagreements between
models regarding the finer details of the forecast, which is to
be expected this far out. Model agreement diverges beginning of
next week regarding the exact track of the Monday system and the
transition to a high pressure system building in the gulf. Despite
the model differences, there is still good agreement in the
models and ensembles of the general weather pattern. Used a blend
of WPC/EC for winds and timing of the fronts then trended towards
WPC for the latter part of the long term. Overall forecast
confidence remains at or above average through the period.
