Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
230 PM AKST Sun Feb 14 2021

.SHORT TERM...Entering into a transitional period as the high
pressure and strong outflow winds that have defined the weather in
southeast AK for the past week begins to break down. A front
moving up from the south has already brought cloud cover to as far
north as Juneau and snow has begun in the southern reaches of the
panhandle. Most of the precip through Monday should remain over
the south half of the panhandle and initial snow totals from this
look to be small as there is not a great amount of moisture for
this front to work with. Further, most sea level locations will be
flirting with the freezing mark and should see some transitions
over to rain during the day time hours. Highest totals look to be
in the 2-3 inch range around Ketchikan and Annette Island. To the
north, winds should continue to die down as the pressure gradient
begins to relent and currently expecting an end to the small craft
advisory winds in Lynn Canal Sunday night. Even with winds
expected to slow, temperatures remain cold enough to warrant yet
another wind chill advisory for White Pass Sunday night.

A brief break from most precip occurs Monday into Monday night
between fronts. Tuesday morning, another round of precip moves in
on the region from the west. Most locations should see snow at the
onset, but coastal locations south of Cross Sound and the bulk of
the southern panhandle should warm enough to change over to rain,
inhibiting snow totals. For the northern inner channels, amounts
generally from about 1-4 inches look possible Tuesday through
Wednesday morning, with the greatest amounts currently forecast
for Juneau.

.LONG TERM.../Tue through Sun as of 10 pm Sat/ Active weather
pattern for the long range resulting in a number of lows and
fronts tracking into the region. Warmer airmass in place compared
to the past week but diurnal temperature range still low enough
to keep snow or a mix of rain in snow for any precipitation that
does fall. At the start of the long term mid level pattern has
ridging over the central AK gulf with closed low over the western
tip of the Aleutians. This pattern will shift east towards the end
of the week tracking the trough over the eastern gulf and
panhandle for the weekend. Beyond that time the progressive
easterly flow continues.

On Tuesday the surface features show a typical weak low in the NE
gulf with frontal band moving across the eastern gulf. As new
model runs come in this front has been weakened, resulting in
decreased pops and QPF. Best changes are still in the Yakutat
area, so keeping an eye on snow totals there possibly reaching 4+
inches. Main change around this time is the shift in winds from
northerly to southerly, and due to weaker pressure gradient wind
magnitudes will be much less. Fast moving surface ridge passes
over the panhandle mid week followed by some sort of low.
Position/strength/track of this low: in a word uncertain. While
expected operational models to have a large spread, especially
after a long period of unchanging weather, getting fair amount of
spread with ensembles as well. GFS/NAEFS have trended toward a
deeper low moving into the gulf and swinging to the north, while
ECMWF has trended to a much more southerly track. This uncertainty
was very evident in spread of snow totals between individual
ensemble members, with amounts from 1 to 8 inches. At this time
would side with the lower amounts due to warmer temps and thus
lower snow ratios.

Kept with a blend of GFS/ECMWF for Tuesday, but overall not much
change resulting. WPC for the rest of the long range began
indicating stronger low development over the central gulf but no
where near operational GFS. EFI and ensemble standardized
anomalies while depicting active weather don't show any extreme
events for now.
