.SHORT TERM...Showers tapering off over the SE AK Panhandle
tonight and into early Sunday as a surface ridge builds over the the
region. This will keep the incoming front associated with the new
low over the west central gulf at bay for a bit longer as it becomes
quasi-stationary over the central gulf. Rain on the north side of
the low extends from Yakutat west to the Kenai Peninsula Saturday
night. From Sunday to Monday, the weather front starts to press east
into the eastern gulf then into the panhandle starting Monday. Not
anticipating large amounts of rain. For Sunday and Monday, Yakutat
can expect about an inch, with more to the west, and less than that
across the panhandle. After the main front, small troughs will
rotate over the gulf towards the panhandle starting later Monday.
Models will likely have issues with agreement on features like this.
As the front moves slowly through the eastern gulf, winds along the
outer coastal waters will increase to 25 to 30 kt over most of the
coastal marine zones Sunday into Monday. The north central gulf
coast winds Sunday and Sunday night are expected to reach Gale force
in a narrow band west of Icy Bay. By Monday, an area of gale force
winds offshore from Cape Fairweather is also expected.
.LONG TERM.../Monday through Thursday/ The extended forecast
remains dominated by the first closed low pressure system to move
into the Gulf of Alaska in well over 2 weeks.
A broad upper level trough will slowly move East out of the
Western Gulf through the forecast period. While the ensembles and
operational runs do continue to show some disagreement on where
exactly it moves, all agree that it will spend much of the
upcoming week over the Gulf of Alaska. Closer to the surface, it
is this uncertainty in the location of the center of the low that
will prove to be the primary forecasting challenge. Model runs
have backed off on an initial wave of precipitation entering the
area during the weekend, instead taking this first wave further to
the West, bringing it over South Central Alaska. There continues
to be some indication that rain isn't out of the question for SE
Alaska during the Monday-Tuesday time frame. This will however be
largely dependent on how exactly the main low phases with a wave
carrying abundant moisture moving S of it in the N Pacific.
Afterwards, continuing onshore flow will help keep chances of
showers across much of SE AK as the parent low slowly decays-
perhaps with some additional bands of vorticity moving up along
its eastern flank into the panhandle. However, given rapidly
growing forecast uncertainty by this point, am not willing to
fully agree with any operational run-particularly given that the
ensembles agreement is scarcely any better.
Looking further afield, there are some signs that the decaying low
in the gulf will merge with another system entering the gulf
through Thursday, which could send another frontal band our way.
Otherwise, minimal changes made to the forecast through the time
period. Temperatures generally lean a bit on the cool side as
cloud cover helps keep the worst of the thermal radiation at
bay,though think that the S panhandle will by and large be
warmer than the N panhandle. Forecaster confidence is below
average regarding the strength and timing of the bands of
precipitation moving through the panhandle.
