Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
249 PM AKST Fri Nov 12 2021
.SHORT TERM...A low pressure system that has been affecting the
region since Thursday afternoon is tracking NE across Chichagof
Island as of 2pm Friday. This track will affect the timing of the
wind shift to the west behind the low then the subsequent
southerly winds that are expected up Lynn Canal. The slightly
later timing of the shift for the northern inner channels may keep
snow a bit longer for the Chilkat Valley, but the other factor for
ending snow will be when winds shift aloft and the valley gets
shadowed. Still think that the end time for the warning in that
area will be close to 6pm tonight.
CAA behind the low pressure system is evident in the look of the
clouds on satellite imagery. Although the clouds look a bit more
stratified/capped on satellite, they should become more convective
late tonight as a separate low center settles south of the Kenai
Peninsula/PWS area. That new low will help to drive showers into
Yakutat overnight. The CAA and rates should be enough for the
showers to change to mainly snow despite the wind direction being
WSW (which would normally be too warm for snow). Any showers that
train over the same area could see a quick couple inches while
locations away from the training showers would see much less
accumulation. Despite these competing factors, an advisory remains
in effect for Yakutat starting at 9pm Friday and ending 3pm
Saturday for around 4 inches of snow. The peak rate should be
around 3am.
The CAA will cause most of the panhandle to see some mixing with
snow late Friday night into early Saturday morning, but
accumulations should be less than 1 inch near sea level (unless
training happens). Showers will gradually decrease through
Saturday night as flow slowly backs offshore due to a new low to
the distant south, tracking NE toward the Canadian coast. As a
result, winds through the inner channels will shift out of the
north again Saturday night and increase. The increased northerly
outflow winds will help to shut off most lingering showers across
the north and decrease cloud cover...leading to colder
temperatures.
On Sunday the low will move over the southern panhandle and bring
the potential for some bands of showers. The placement of those
bands is less certain since models haven't pinned down the low
track, it may be a more broad meso-vorticity type system that
models struggle with. Most of the showers should fall as rain,
but some mixing with snow is possible on POW if the timing lines
up with locations that were able to cool below freezing during the
nighttime hours ahead of the shower bands.
.LONG TERM.../ Sunday through Friday as of 10 PM Thursday /
Diminishing precipitation will give way to clearing skies through
Sunday afternoon, at least across the N half of the panhandle. The
cause of the clearing skies will be an outflow event which will
take place as the pressure gradient strengthens between a new low
moving N out of the southern Gulf and a high in the Yukon. Expect
that with this outflow event, it is likely that breezy conditions
will be seen across at least the N half of the panhandle. Lynn
Canal will likely see gale force winds, and have added small
craft winds in through many of the central inner channels. There
may also be an opportunity for a weak to moderate strength
mountain wave event to setup over downtown Juneau, though am not
yet confident in this given the differences in timing of the low
to the south.
The windy conditions will most likely begin to subside Monday
afternoon through Monday night as the low in the south attempts to
advance into the panhandle, before being deflected back to the S
as its associated trough moves out of the area. It still looks
like the southern panhandle will experience the bulk of any
significant precipitation with this system. The far N panhandle
will likely stay fairly dry, with precip chances slowly increasing
through the Icy Strait Corridor on South.
Disagreement among ensembles and operational runs alike rapidly
increases after this time period, but it does look like the low
in the S departs the area by Tuesday. There are increasing
indications that a new wave could impact the area Tuesday or
Wednesday, but forecast uncertainty means this is not yet set in
stone. Looking even further afield, there are hints that
significant cool down for late next week could be in the works-
something which would likely be joined with a substantial outflow
event. However, confidence in this event remains low at this time.
