Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
507 PM AKST Thu Dec 23 2021

.SHORT TERM.../Through Fri night/ Cold and windy is the main story
for the next 36 hours of the forecast. Northerly outflow is
already starting to increase through the northern inner channels
with 25 kt winds at Eldred Rock, Point Couverden, and out of Taku
Inlet as of 1 pm. This is starting to break up the cloud cover
that came in with this morning's weak system.

We are already starting out with the entire panhandle below
freezing this afternoon. It is just going to get colder from there
as temperatures will likely drop like a rock tonight as skies
clear out and cold air advection from the north continues. Wide
spread teens and single digits for lows tonight will be the norm.
Don't expect much of a rebound tomorrow as the main cold air mass
in Canada will just be moving into the area, and temps will just
get colder Fri night. In fact, some areas of the central and
southern panhandle could tie or break daily record lows for the
25th early Sat morning. The northerly outflow winds will not help
things much. While some windy areas may stay somewhat warmer due
to mixing, wind chill readings will likely make it feel much
colder in those areas. The wind chill advisory for the higher
elevations of the Klondike Highway has been extended to mid day
Sun for wind chills down to 40 below.

Speaking of the outflow winds, Windy conditions are expected to
continue (and even strengthen tonight) for the northern inner
channels. Areas like Lynn Canal and near Taku Inlet could see gale
force northerly winds tonight into Friday. Into Fri night the
main shot of cold air starts to shifts farther southeast causing
the winds in the north to start to diminish a little (they will
still be blowing around 25 kt or so) while wind out of the passes
in the southern panhandle start to increase to around 20 to 25 kt.
With the winds and cold temps, freezing spray is wide spread
across the area as well.

Main forecast changes were for local effect from winds including
raising the winds for some of the central inner channels tonight
into tomorrow with the strong northerly flow. Wave heights through
Lynn Canal and northern Chatham were also raised Fri into Fri
night to account for the winds down the long northerly fetch of
those straight channels building up larger seas.

.LONG TERM...The strong northerly outflow winds will still be
present on Saturday, but will be on the diminishing trend for the
rest of the period as the strong and dominant area of high
pressure over the Canadian Yukon weakens and drifts southward,
weakening the pressure gradient between that region and
relatively lower pressure over the eastern Gulf region. This will
allow a relatively weak low pressure center to approach the Outer
Coast of the Panhandle from the northwest, drift southeastward,
staying just off the Outer Coast of the Panhandle. Insulating clouds
and a quick chances for precipitation will increase as the low
approaches southeast Alaska.

The established bitterly cold temperatures will generally stick
around through the period. Ensembles and 850mb model forecast
temperatures keep us cold with some modest variation depending on
the location of highs and lows through the period. The
temperatures will slowly and modestly warm as the aforementioned
strong established high drifts southeastward through British
Columbia, progressively weakens, and the aforementioned low
approaches Panhandle. This process will weaken the northerly
outflow and CAA. The low looks to bring some weak WAA into the
area along with some light snow activity with the heaviest
activity along the outer coast as the Gulf low skirts by, just off
the Panhandle, moving southeastward. The cloudcover will provide
a layer of insulation over the Panhandle, keeping the temperatures
modestly warmer Sunday night.

Before the low's approach, clouds will be decreased allowing a
good radiational component to nighttime cooling, and conditions
will be dry as we will still be under a dome of very cold and
sinking air. After the low departs, a ridge will build into the
eastern Gulf and Panhandle, once again, bringing decreased
cloudiness and dry/cold conditions for up to a couple more days.

The bit of good news with the aforementioned low is that it
should be weak and a quick-mover, only bringing impacts to the
Panhandle Sunday evening through early Monday morning and due to
the well-established cold air in place and high forecast snow
ratios will make the snow quite powdery. Total forecast QPF values
will be low due to the quick-moving nature of the low, which
should most likely translate into less than advisory-level snow
accumulations.

Some locations throughout the Panhandle may break record overnight
low temperatures over the Holiday Weekend with some locations in
the northern Panhandle dipping down as low as 10 below zero. Be
sure to dress warmly and limit time outdoors if you can to avoid
frostbite. Windy conditions will make it feel quite a bit colder,
especially on Saturday into Sunday. MOS continues to under-perform
for forecasting the cold outbreak, due to its heavy climatological
bias. A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect until Noon AKST Sunday
for the Klondike Highway area for dangerously low wind chills as
low as 35 to 45 below zero.

Pretty solid model agreement was seen, today. Therefore, forecast
confidence is average to above average for the long-term forecast
period. A GFS/CMC/EC/NAM blend was used for the forecast.
