Area forecast discussion, Aug 2, 2:55 PM AKDT, 12 hours 49 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 255 PM AKDT Mon Aug 2 2021 .SHORT TERM...An upper level low over the gulf continues through midweek. Clouds cover the panhandle. Over the Northcentral British Columbia, our anticipated Easterly wave is moving north-west and satellite detection is showing active convection with this band. Believe that this will skirt past the northern panhandle this evening. There is some colder topped clouds starting to move towards the southern half of the panhandle so a shot of light rain for that section of the panhandle is possible. A more enhanced band over the north pacific will be caught up about the upper level low and will form into a frontal band and move onshore Tuesday afternoon and evening. Wednesday looks to be even a better for rain as a weaker atmospheric river (IVT values about 400-600) is anticipated to curl in the southern panhandle about the quasi stationary 500 mb low. Surface level amounts of rain fall look to be in the 1-2 inch range, while higher elevations may get a little more. Will need to watch this over the next few shifts to fine tune rain estimates and to see if some of the local streams and rivers may have issue. For the time being, can expect rises in water levels but staying within the banks. With the Tuesday frontal band, a narrow band of 25 kt small craft over the southern outside to near southern Prince of Wales Island is expected. Coastal communities could see gusts 20 to 30 kt. .LONG TERM.../Wednesday through Sunday night/...An upper low with a surface reflection will be situated over the central Gulf at the start of this extended range forecast period. At the surface, a front associated with the surface low will be affecting the southern half of the Panhandle and the outer coast from Cape Fairweather south. Models are all in agreement that this front will affect much of the Panhandle, but differ in timing of the push on shore and, most importantly, where and when the heavy rain will fall. Those details represent the lowest confidence part of this forecast. At present, the long range forecast has the heaviest rain on Wednesday afternoon over southern Baranof Island, Prince of Wales Island, and the Ketchikan area with the event beginning at the tail end of the short range forecast. Categorical PoPs are currently limited to locations from Angoon south and it appears that the northeast gulf coast and the far northern inner channels may be completely shut out from getting any measurable rain from this event. By Friday the low and associated front will have moved off to the southeast and a weak ridge will be shifting east across the Gulf, giving us a day of dry weather. However, a weak short wave will work its way over the top of the ridge and increase the chance for rain once again late Friday night going into the weekend. Friday will feature small craft southeasterlies over the central and southern outer coast marine zones. There is also the potential for small craft winds over southern Chatham Strait and Clarence Strait. These winds will relax by Wednesday afternoon as the strongest winds retrograde to the west over offshore zone 310. Apart from this period of time, the long range forecast does not contain any significant winds. Daily highs were off the charts in grids with some locations featuring highs in the 90s. Not only is this unrealistic, it was WAY above all ensemble and deterministic model guidance. Changes to temperatures represented the biggest change to this long term forecast with reductions as much as 15 degrees in some cases. Even so, daytime highs for the coming week will range from the mid 60s to the mid 70s and quite comfortable for early August. -Fritsch && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
