Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 233 PM AKDT Tue Aug 31 2021 .SHORT TERM.../Through Thursday/ After some morning fog and low clouds most of the inner channels has cleared out nicely this afternoon. The outer coast and the Gulf however continues to see low marine layer clouds lingering with ceilings as low as 1200 feet. Winds remain rather light with most areas remaining 15 kt or less. The short range forecast first features the return of low clouds and fog to many inner channel areas tonight. The northern inner channels will likely see low clouds extend all the way over to Stephens Passage again tonight. The southern panhandle will likely see a much more extensive area of low clouds and fog late tonight as overall flow switches from NW to SE late. This should drag the clouds farther into the southern panhandle early tomorrow morning before the clouds burn off mid day. Once the low clouds burn off, Wed looks to be another nice day with wide spread 60s for highs again. However, change will be stirring. A new front will be advancing E across the gulf with increasing winds in the gulf Wed (increasing to gale force for the N gulf by Wed Evening) and will start to reach the inner channels by Thu (winds increasing to 15 to 25 kt in those areas). Rain will also be coming with the N Gulf Coast starting to receive it Wed night while the rest of the panhandle will have to wait until Thu or Thu night. Highest rainfall is initially aimed at the northern panhandle Thu (particularly the outer coast), but that will shift to more of the southern panhandle Thu night as a new wave rides north along the front. Overall amounts will be around 1 to 1.5 inches through late Thu night. Overall changes were minor except for some changes on how far inland the fog and low clouds will get tonight based on boundary layer RH guidance. .LONG TERM.../Thursday through next Tuesday/ Attention remains focused how far onshore the stalled front advances into the Panhandle Thursday. Given moist southerly flow pushing across complex terrain, we decided to go ahead and take likely to categorical pop east to Juneau and the Inner Channels Thursday, but clearly the focus of QPF remains over the coast. This change mandated no need for changes to temperature. Winds still do not present much of a threat on Thursday as the front weakens in place positioned along the outer coast. With the parent low stalled hundreds of miles away, just east of Kodiak Island. Thursday night, a wave approaches the southern Panhandle from the southwest. Several iterations of the ECMWF and GFS have now begun pinpointing this feature as a precipitation enhancer for the south. For the north though, offshore flow in response help limit rainfall for Friday. It is still too early to mark a certain track for any surface reflection, but indications are present, despite all being fairly weak. The weekend likely appears showery for much of the area, as another wave could undercut the Panhandle on its way to Haida Gwaii. This favors a bit more unstable air across the Panhandle, and given efficient orographics showers should be a safe bet through the weekend. Leading into next week spread rapidly increases. Some ensemble members lift a jet near the southern Panhandle early next week. This might suggest the possibility of a period of enhanced heavy rain with a more robust slug of subtropical moisture. However, this is by no means certain, but simply non-zero possibility. Track would favor the southern Panhandle more than the north as the zone of baroclinicity could grow somewhere across the outer gulf as a lobe of cooler air funnels southeast into the gulf from the Bering Strait. Confidence in details are low for next week. But with a very high chance of onshore flow, we suspect it will be wet, just probably not very wet. && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
