Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
313 PM AKST Sat Nov 27 2021

.SHORT TERM.../ Through Sunday night / Saturdays low moving
inland over the southcentral panhandle with rain spreading north
to roughly southern Admiralty Island this evening. The low then
continues to weaken and dissipate. Cooler air works its way back
in off the gulf of Alaska. Can see shower-like band or open cells
in the western gulf (west of 140 as of this evening) on satellite
imagery that will continue eastward.

A second weak low is persisting near Middleton Island and this
will try to keep the showers going or getting restarted over the
northeast gulf coast this evening. Snowfall accumulations 1 to 3
inches for 12 our block through Sunday night. Snow was not
falling that heavy in Hyder so will cancel the Winter Weather
Advisory for the Misty Fjords early. A few more inches will fall
Saturday evening but not enough for the advisory.

Brief gusty winds for Prince of Wales Island Saturday evening
with the low and front moving through but becoming westerly and
weakening to 20 kt and gusts to 25 mph for the mid evening.

.LONG TERM.../Monday through Thursday as of 4 PM Saturday/ A
strong storm moves into the Gulf Monday through Tuesday.
This system brings with it strong gales to low end storm force
winds through the gulf, as well as, the potential for heavy snow
across the north and heavy rain across the south. Current thinking
is that temperatures will stay cool to keep things all snow across
the north. The question is how well will the cold air remain over
the north central panhandle before the southerly flow warms
temperatures above freezing. Accumulating snow is likely across
the northern and central panhandle but rates should be on the
slower side has this system looks to have limited moisture
support. Due to this, issuing any winter products have been held
off as accumulations look to remain below criteria.

By Tuesday, a second low spins around the parent low and pushes
onshore from the south. This system looks to have better moisture
support allowing for higher precipitation amounts. The main focus
on this system is the track. Cooler temperatures will be in place
north of the low, so areas that find themselves just north of the
precipitation bands could see decent snow accumulations. Model
agreement is struggling to resolve the longterm weather pattern so
trying to focast the exact track and timing of each low that forms
is challenging.

Signals are suggesting that colder temperatures could be on the
way for the end of next week as an arctic front pushes south.
Incorporated this into the forecast for Friday and Saturday.
Overall though the pattern through the long term remains wetter
and cooler. As upper level troughing persists over the Gulf
bringing multiple waves of precipitation.
