Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Juneau AK
554 AM AKDT Sun Sep 5 2021

.SHORT TERM...Unsettled weather will continue this morning across
Southeast Alaska. A large scale trough over the gulf of Alaska
will remain in place for much of the day, before yielding to some
weak induced ridging over the panhandle. This will yield
relatively weak winds over most of the waters, and quieter seas
for today. The one exception will be near the Dixon entrance where
winds and seas will be strong enough for a small craft advisory
through the early afternoon hours.

Labor day will start off under wet but relatively benign weather
conditions. By late Monday winds and seas will strengthen
especially off of the southern parts of the panhandle as the
pressure gradient builds due to the approaching low pressure
system. Small Craft advisories and Gale Warnings may become
necessary due to this system.

.LONG TERM.../ Tuesday through Sunday as of 10 pm Saturday / At
500 mb, a closed low lifts northeast out of the North Pacific to
be just west of Sitka by midday Tuesday, the long wave trough the
closed low was in will be pushed through the panhandle area by a
ridge building over the western and central gulf by early
Thursday. Another strong short wave in the mid level flow, moves
from the western Aleutians to the western gulf by Thursday,
before going through the panhandle on Friday. Model agreement
aloft is a hit / miss situation, the less than stellar agreement
Tuesday and Wednesday continues with some fairly significant
timing/strength issues still being shown. A closed low off of
Chichagof Island into Wednesday or a weak low/trough moving
through the panhandle.

The trough moving into the gulf on Thursday has better model
agreement between the operational solutions. These are from the
18z and 00z runs, the WPC solution was based on earlier data, and
as such, didn't have as strong of a trough to move across the gulf
for the end of week. Anticipate that may change in the morning.

Tuesday the surface low from moves northward over the southern
then central panhandle, start very early Tuesday morning by
Tuesday afternoon, expect the surface low to be west of Southern
Baranof Island between 20 to 150 nm. Have keep the gale force
winds for the coastal waters. Will have 20 to 25 kt winds into the
inner channels. The low will likely move into the panhandle
Wednesday.

The next weather system for late Thursday through Friday night,
will likely have winds of 25 kt for coastal waters, at first
glance of the system, will need to watch this as it develops
through the next few days. Steady rain will return as the front
moves through the area too.
