Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
314 PM AKST Sun Jan 3 2021

.SHORT TERM.../Through Tuesday Night/ The remnants of the low that
pushed inland over the panhandle are finally starting to depart
the area. Rain and snow will taper off through the overnight
hours across the area, and some clearing associated with outflow
winds late Sunday night into Monday morning could result in the
formation of patchy freezing fog across the northern panhandle.
Think that this clearing, or at least minimal chances for precip,
will also extend through much of the central and northern
panhandle through the first half of Monday as northerly flow
encourages the advection of drier air.

Focus will shift through Monday to another system moving up from
the south. Guidance is still having trouble determining how this
storm is going to evolve as it approaches with the position and
strength of the center and the various short waves around it. This
is making the forecast a challenge, particularly for winds and
QPF. The general trend however is for gusty winds and wet weather
for the southern panhandle (possible snow for Hyder again)
starting Mon afternoon and continuing into Mon night. Though
exactly how strong the winds and heavy the rain will be is up for
debate. As the system progresses northward, the Icy Strait
Corridor could also receive accumulating snow through Monday
night, though totals are not yet entirely certain. Do think that
the pre-existing northerly outflow will keep the area away from
truly significant snow accumulations. WAA associated with the
system will likely see most areas besides the northern panhandle
change over to snow through the morning hours on Monday.

Tuesday will see another system moving northward to add impetus to
the remains of the Monday event. This system will need to be
closely monitored as it has the potential to be an impactful
event. Storm force winds are expected across some of the southern
outer coastal waters. Some models, especially the GFS, are even
indicating the potential for hurricane force winds. Have chosen
to hold off on being that aggressive with the wind forecast until
guidance is in better agreement. Do expect that the inner
channels, as well as many land areas, will also see breezy
conditions. Forecaster confidence is average.

.LONG TERM.../Tuesday through Saturday as of 10PM Saturday/The
specifics of the long term forecast are still in the air as there
is still quite a bit of inconsistency within the models. That
being said, the general idea can still be summed up as an active
forecast for southeast Alaska.

Tuesday looks to start off morning temps in the 20s to 30s with
afternoon temps in the 30s to 40s. An area of low pressure will
move into the central gulf from the south and it will push a storm
force weather front northward across the gulf. This front would
bring rain and snow to southeast Alaska.

The rest of the forecast, from Wednesday to the weekend, has low
confidence in the timing and strength of each individual system.
But the overall pattern is - surface lows spinning around a
central parent low that could develop over the gulf. This general
onshore pattern, with a few rounds of weather fronts, would keep
rain and snow in the forecast and temperatures generally steady -
lows mostly in the 20s and 30s and highs in the 30s to 40s. We
would also see the winds pick up, especially along the coast, with
each passing weather front.
