Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
253 PM AKDT Wed Sep 15 2021
.SHORT TERM.../ Through Friday night / A short wave at 500 mb
near the west central Aleutians this afternoon will track east-
southeast deepening into a long wave trough just east of 140W by
early Friday morning to just off shore the panhandle and Haida Gwaii
Friday night.
Scattered showers tonight across the northern panhandle likely
increasing through the evening as incoming front approaches,
although the southern portion of the panhandle will be seeing less
precipitation overnight. An upper 980s mb low near Kodiak Island
will weaken and drift south through Thursday and Thursday night. The
associated front spreads across the gulf, although there will be a
triple point forming near 53N on the front and this will change the
shape of the front focusing the front over the southern panhandle
and limiting rain for the northern portion through much of Friday.
Most models are rolling the triple point low north to be west of
Prince of Wales Island or Cape Decision on early Friday and with
the this orientation, expect slight chance rain to dry weather
for the Yakutat to Skagway. The front over the southern panhandle
will move north to the northern portion of the panhandle through
Friday night.
With the front incoming, have have boosted most outer coast
marine zones to Gale force as the front approaches. Could see
gusts to 35 mph for some of the exposed locales around the
panhandle. Confidence is fair to good with Thursday front, not as
high as it could since we shifted the track a bit today.
.LONG TERM.../Friday through Wednesday as of 10 pm Tuesday/
Uncertainty in the start of the long range forecast due to
potential frontogenesis along the front in the eastern gulf. The
question is will the original low in the NE gulf remain intact
and be the driving force into the weekend or will the developing
low grab energy from the NE low and now the main feature becomes
centered in the SE Gulf. The split solution will either keep
precip over most of the panhandle or with the SE Gulf low have
more off shore flow to the north and an earlier drying trend.
Along with uncertain precip, the location of higher winds is also
in question. Models then fall in line for the weekend with where
ever the Gulf low starts it will eventually track to the SE with a
high pressure ridge moving in behind it. This will usher in a
short weather break for SE AK, with driest weather likely Sunday.
Next gale force low/front moves in Monday with periods of moderate
rain likely. Still timing and location details to be worked out
on this system as well.
Ensembles were in better agreement than operational models at 500
mb level but this basically keeps a broad low over the gulf. At
the surface pretty much pick a model and get something different
until Saturday. GFS has the low center deeper and further to the
SE while ECMWF was weakest and the the east while NAM/Canadian
were mid way between the two. Forecast solution for now was to
hold off, leave grids as is, keep a with a broad brush approach,
and lean toward WPC until specifics can get worked out as,
hopefully, models fall in line. Needless to say forecast
confidence is low.
