Area forecast discussion, Oct 25, 2:52 PM AKDT, 38 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 252 PM AKDT Mon Oct 25 2021 .SHORT TERM.../Through Wednesday/ The short term starts off relatively quiet with mid to high level clouds streaming into the Panhandle due to weak mid level disturbances offshore. Increased cloud cover today has kept temperatures on the chilly side this afternoon with highs struggling to reach 40 across the northern Panhandle. Very light and isolated showers have been reported across the region already; therefore increased PoPs to include isolated wording today and this evening. With dry air in place at the surface, would not be surprised to see a few snowflakes or mixed precip at the onset of any shower, especially along and north of the Icy Strait corridor. The next weather maker arrives late tonight as a weak low in the Southern gulf moves into the SE gulf. Southerly mid and upper flow ahead of the system will continue pump in moisture and clouds across the entire region. Showers increase overnight tonight across higher terrain and the Southern Panhandle then slowly spread northward through Tuesday morning. Since the low is moving in from the south, lower level offshore flow on the north side will dry out the boundary layer and keep QPF pretty light across the north. As the low slowly moves northward toward the NE gulf coast Wednesday, shower activity and rainfall rates will increase from south to north. Winds remain relatively light tonight across the Inner Channels. As the next low pushes closer to the Panhandle, expect winds to increase to small craft conditions across the SE Gulf and Southern Inner Channels by Tuesday afternoon. As the low pushes northward on Wednesday, the northerly gradient already in place across much of the region will flip to the south. Winds will increase across the Inner Channels from south to north on Wednesday as the gradient becomes southerly. May need to increase winds in the Central and Northern Inner Channels Wednesday afternoon as a quick gradient flip like this usually leads to stronger winds than what guidance advertises. Confidence remains average in the short term forecast. There is some forecast uncertainty in the northward extent of the precipitation tonight and tomorrow and whether it could start as a rain/snow mix in Upper Lynn Canal. .LONG TERM.../ Wednesday through Monday as of 10 pm Sunday / The long term forecast starts with rain being the predominant area of focus, as a decaying low in the gulf slowly pushes N. This low will bring waves of precipitation across the area through Thursday and Friday. Although no significant flooding concerns are expected at this time there is the potential that some areas in the N Panhandle and Icy Strait Corridor could see some snow mixed in late Thursday night. However, this is a low confidence forecast. While operational guidance does show that temperatures could be cool enough for some of these areas to see snow flakes, MOS Guidance is indicating warmer temperatures overnight. This is likely symptomatic of the issues over the strength of anticipated S flow during this time period. Given the marginal 850 mb temperatures, it would not take much to turn the chance of some snow flakes falling into nothing more than some additional rainfall. For the time being, have indicated the possibility of some areas seeing a mix, though do suspect that the Haines and Klondike Highways will see significantly better chances for snowfall. Friday will most likely see another wave enter the area. While there are indications that a final wave may try to enter SE AK over the weekend, advancing ahead of a new system taking shape in the W Gulf, do not think it will be able to overcome increasing offshore flow. This leads us into the question of whether or not Halloween will be on the drier side. Ensembles and guidance alike have both begun pushing the timing of a possible system back further and further. Many of the individual ensemble runs have even gone so far as to keep the system out of the area entirely, instead favoring another system trying to reach the area towards the middle of next week. While this will likely continue to pose a forecasting challenge - the impact of offshore flow on systems can be notoriously difficult to predict - it does signal increasing chances that Halloween proper will likely be on the drier side for many areas. The one possible exception to this could be Yakutat, should the earlier mentioned system successfully advance far enough W. Otherwise, the other area of note for the forecast will be the temperatures. Cooler temperatures will likely prevail, especially through the weekend. Lower sun angles and clearer skies across much of the area will likely see nippy conditions for Halloween, and through the end of the forecast period. Forecaster confidence is average. && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
