Area forecast discussion, Oct 23, 2:53 PM AKDT, 37 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
253 PM AKDT Sat Oct 23 2021
.SHORT TERM.../ Through Monday / Cloud coverage and the probability
of precipitation is starting to decrease across the panhandle as
the low pressure moves out of our region. A high pressure builds
to our North this evening, shifting the onshore flow to offshore.
The onshore flow comes back late Monday night as a surface low
approaches the panhandle.
Breezy conditions will remain in most areas overnight and an
increase in winds is expected through the day tomorrow for N/S
inner channels, Skagway, and downtown Juneau and Douglas. There
is a Strong Wind headline for downtown Juneau and Douglas Sunday
afternoon with gusts to 40 mph. Confidence in breezy conditions
at these locations is average.
Dry conditions are expected across the region through most of the
short term. The probability of precipitation increasing to a
chance of showers late Monday evening as a surface low pressure
approaches the panhandle. A slight chance of thunderstorms remains
in the forecast tonight.
With clearing skies overnight and through tomorrow, fog chances
remain in Juneau, Wrangell, Ketchikan, and above-average
confidence for Petersburg on Sunday and Monday mornings.
Temperatures will continue to decrease through tonight, and a
large diurnal curve of 10+ degrees will occur in most areas
tomorrow due to clear skies and plenty of sunshine. Expect lows to
drop to near to below freezing overnight Sunday into Monday.
.LONG TERM.../ Monday through Saturday as of 10 pm Friday / Flow
pattern aloft for the weekend and next week looks like the
following. An upper-level trough over the eastern Gulf with a
closed 500 Mb low West of Vancouver Island Monday lifts into the
panhandle Monday evening. A second trough moves into the eastern
Gulf of Alaska and then lifts onshore across the panhandle
Wednesday. The end of the week is more of the flow becoming more
SW to Westerly, while a stronger low is suggested by model
solutions to track into the Gulf at the end of the week and next
weekend.
The weakening front/trough associated with the Vancouver Island
low moves into the southern panhandle and spreads light
precipitation in later Monday evening. A new surface low will
track across the Southern Gulf of Alaska and to the southeastern
portion of the Gulf Tuesday evening. The upper-level flow will
steer the low and associated precipitation through Southeast
Alaska and into Canada. The westerly flow will keep the onshore
flow for the end of the week. Looking at the long-range pattern,
and believe in the fair model agreement that a well-organized
front will sweep in to the central Gulf right before the weekend.
Monday's weather starts with a break in the rainy weather, as
much of the forecast area has a reprieve from the typical fall
rains. Cooler temps are anticipated in the northern sections
Monday and Tuesday mornings. Kept the area of patchy that was in
the forecast for early Monday.
Overall no significant weather feature is expected for the
Eastern Gulf of Alaska and Southeast Alaska until the end of the
week, where a big system may be making an appearance. Confidence
is average for the extended forecast.
