Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 234 PM AKDT Sun Aug 22 2021 .SHORT TERM...Southeast Alaska has seen a warm and sunny Sunday. A ridge axis is located over the eastern gulf allowing for skies to clear and temperatures to warm. A surface low develops south of the Aleutians and shifts east through Monday. As it does so, the ridge axis pivots east over the panhandle. At time of writing, temperatures have rose into the mid to upper 60s across the region, with communities such as Haines, Skagway, and Juneau on track to hit 70 degrees later this afternoon. Winds are decreasing through the inner channels as northerly pressure gradients lighten and a stable air mass develops. Through the remainder of this evening and into early Monday, light northerly winds dominate before switching to the south and increasing ahead of our next weather system Monday night into Tuesday. Tonight, temperatures cool to the mid to upper 40s with a few land protected areas dropping into the upper 30s. As we go into the work week Monday, skies conditions begin sunny but increase through the afternoon ahead of a weather front that lifts into the panhandle Monday night. The northern panhandle including Yakutat will see rainfall first followed by northeast gulf coast late Monday night before pushing on into the central panhandle Tuesday. Total rainfall amounts of less than 0.50 inch is expected by early Tuesday morning. Winds along the outer coast increase Monday afternoon with frontal passage with strongest winds focused along the northern gulf coast. .LONG TERM.../Tuesday through Saturday/...As of 10pm Saturday. By Tuesday morning a front should be moving onshore with light to moderate rain in Yakutat and 20-25 kt winds along the northern outside waters. Rain will spread inland and southward through the day, making most of Tuesday and Wednesday wet across the panhandle. A new wave/low forms along the front on Wednesday and tracks eastward across the southern gulf. This should shift the greatest POP to the southern panhandle for Thursday. Behind the low a ridge of high pressure will be building over the central gulf. This should help to push most precip off to the SE during Friday, but may help to cap in some of the moisture/low clouds too. The next "break" between systems looks relatively short at the tail end of the extended forecast, but models have timing differences in when the next low pressure system moves into the area. The latest 00z GFS/ECMWF have rain arriving in Yakutat Saturday afternoon/evening, but their previous runs had the system arriving 12-24hrs earlier on Friday afternoon/evening. At this stage in the forecast we have likely POP for both days, but may need to adjust the timing of the break and push back the onset of rain. && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
