Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
238 PM AKST Thu Jan 14 2021

.SHORT TERM.../Thursday night through Saturday/ Quite the active
day across Southeast Alaska (as indicted by the same person (me)
writing both discussions). A storm force front pushes into the
Panhandle this evening bringing high winds to the outer coast,
rain to most areas, and heavy snow to the Haines and Klondike
Highways. So far this afternoon conditions have been going
according to the forecast with only minor updates made.

Included snow for areas near sea level in Upper Lynn Canal as the
northerly gradient will keep colder air locked at the surface
through at least midnight. As precipitation moves northward into
drier air, snow melt cooling will take place further cooling
Haines and Skagway down to near the freezing mark. Added 3 to 5
inches for sea level and increased snow amounts on the Haines
Highway to 12 to 18 inches. Elsewhere, rain will continue through
Friday morning before changing to showers within the southwesterly
flow behind the front. Rainfall amounts through tomorrow
afternoon will be around an inch with upslope favored areas
receiving upwards of 1.5 to 2 inches. Added a slight chance of
thunderstorms just behind the front for the coastal waters from
the Dixon Entrance to near Cape Fairweather Friday morning due to
an increase in instability during that time frame. Expect showers
to become more scattered in nature Friday into Friday night with
windward facing slopes receiving more widespread activity.

Another system is forecast to impact the region on Saturday as a
low moves northward into the western gulf swinging another storm
force front into the Panhandle. Minimal changes were made today to
the forecast for this system. Storm force conditions expected
along the NE Gulf coast with gales extending southward toward the
Dixon Entrance. Small crafts will develop in the Southern Inner
Channels and gales in Clarence Strait as the front pushes inland
Saturday afternoon. Strong winds with gusts 40 to 50 mph possible
along the outer coast as the front pushes through. With a low
level jet of 50-60 kt just above surface (compared to 85 kt with
the system today), not expecting high winds to be an issue at the
moment. Occasionally heavy rain rates possible as IVT values
upwards of 500 kg/m/s will be associated with this front. 24 hour
rainfall amounts through Sunday morning will be around 1 to 1.5
inches with upslope favored areas possibly seeing higher numbers.

This pattern is expected to repeat itself through early next
week, as mentioned in the long term discussion below. On the
bright side, dry weather (Possibly sun!) could make a visit to
Southeast Alaska in about a week. Just a little something to get
you through the gloomy forecast!

Overall forecast confidence is high through the short term. Only
area of concern is the snowfall forecast for Haines and Skagway
this evening as snowfall amounts could be higher than forecast if
northerly winds persist longer than expected.

.LONG TERM.../Saturday through Thursday night as of 10 PM Wed/...
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 Saturday
afternoon. The upper low then retrogrades northwest and becomes
absorbed in the upper flow as broad ridging and onshore flow
dominate the eastern Gulf Sunday through early Monday. 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 bringing an end to the parade of storms.

At the surface, a low moves northward towards Kodiak Island while
swinging a gale force front into the Panhandle on Saturday.
Southwesterly flow sets up behind the front through Sunday before
the next low moves up into the western gulf on Monday. After the
early week front pushes through, a building ridge in the gulf will
switch the overall flow around to the northwest. A weak wave
within the flow may pass by on Wednesday before a building high
moves into the area, ushering in the start of the much needed
pattern change.

The sensible weather pattern will continue to be wet, as is
typical for this time of the year, with locally heavy precipitation
associated with the passage of each frontal 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. A drying trend begins mid next week as flow
becomes northwesterly and eventually offshore with the building
ridge. (First sunny day of the year?!)

Overall model agreement is good through Monday then begins to
diverges some by mid next week regarding the potential wave
passing by on Wednesday and the evolution of the building ridge in
the gulf. Despite some model differences, there is still good
agreement in the models and ensembles of the general weather
pattern. Used a blend of WPC/EC/GFS 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.
