.SHORT TERM.../Through Saturday night/
Key Messages:
- Gale force winds continue in the eastern gulf Saturday morning.
- Strong wind gusts continue for southern coastal areas.
- Winds will start to diminish Saturday afternoon.
- Rain continues with times of heavy precipitation for Yakutat and
the coast.
Details: Gale force winds continue along the north and eastern Gulf
of Alaska into Saturday. As gales continue along the coast, moderate
to strong breezes continue in the southern inner channels. The rest
of the inner channels remain near gentle to moderate breezes. Times
of stronger gusts may occur in marine areas as the low in the gulf
sends another system toward the panhandle. The current front has
also increased winds for southern coastal areas. There have been
gusts greater than 40 mph observed overnight on Prince of Wales
island. These winds will continue through Saturday morning before
they start diminishing this afternoon.
Rain will continue for the panhandle as the low in the gulf moves a
front across the area this morning. CW3E guidance continues to show
weak to moderate AR-1 and AR-2 conditions with this front. With IVT
values of 250 Kg/ms, this indicates times of moderate to heavy rain.
These precipitation intensities will mainly be located in Yakutat
and along the southern coast are expected. Overnight, rain rates at
the Yakutat airport have reached hourly rates up to 0.1 inch. Times
of these heavier rates will continue into today before diminishing
this afternoon.
.LONG TERM...
Mean 500 mb trough that lingers over the state and Gulf of Alaska
through the period is the main driving force of the mid to
extended forecast. That trough does not move all that much with
only a slight eastward drift noted by late next week. Rotating
around that trough are a series of shortwaves and troughs that
will continue to effect the area on and off through the end of
next week.
Main effects of the persistent of this trough for the panhandle
is a trend toward generally damp conditions as the various
shortwave move through. There is no clear signal for any
significantly wet systems through late week at this time though. I
also expect that there will be periods of dry in between these
shortwaves, with Monday starting to show up as the best chance for
a 12 to 24 hour dry period in the mid range. Winds will also be
on upward and downward trends through the period as individual
systems pass through. Sunday is currently looking to have the most
wind as a strong southerly push behind a shortwave will be
bringing a burst of southerly winds to the inner channels. Most
marine areas could reach 20 kt with northern Lynn possibly
reaching 25 kt midday on Sunday. Murky forecast confidence on wind
past Monday as timing on shortwaves becomes inconsistent though
at least breezy conditions will likely continue into the late
week. Lastly, a trend toward cooler weather for the panhandle
especially by mid to late next week is also in the cards. However
the cold air is not coming from Canada. Instead it is being
dragged east from the Bering Sea area and its long journey will
have caused the air mass to moderate by the time it gets here.
This will still cause temperatures to cool (overnight lows getting
back down into the 30s) and snow levels to drop across the area
(down to 1200 to 1700 ft), but most areas at sea level (except
maybe the extreme north) will stay above freezing for the most
part with mostly rain expected.
&&
.AVIATION.../Until 12Z Sunday/...
Main aviation concern through the TAF period will be LLWS,
widespread MVFR to intermittent IFR flight conditions through
Saturday afternoon as a front pushes into the panhandle.
Mixed bag of low end VFR to MVFR flight conditions prevail
through the morning as the aforementioned front is approaching
coastal panhandle. Flight conditions will quickly deteriorate
through mid morning to widespread MVFR across the panhandle from
south from north as a front pushes inland. Showers will overspread
the area with CIGS AoB 4000ft and reduced visbys down to 4SM.
Can't rule out brief periods of upper end IFR visibilities within
the heaviest showers.
Winds will continue to increase through mid morning, with
strongest sustained winds up to 25kts and isolated gusts up to
35kts for coastal TAF locations through the afternoon. Winds
diminish to 5 to 15kts through the overnight into Sunday. Aviation
concern through the period will LLWS around 2000ft for coastal
and southern TAF sites like Yakutat, Sitka, Klawock, and
Ketchikan. Anticipate widespread easterly to southeasterly LLWS to
continue through Saturday afternoon, around 30 to 50kts, as a
reinforcing shortwave pushes near the southern coastal panhandle.
LLWS will linger through the evening, gradually diminishing after
09z near the end of the TAF period.
&&
.MARINE...
Gulf: Gale force winds continue this morning for the north and
eastern Gulf of Alaska as a strong low continues to send systems
toward the panhandle. Winds will start to diminish late Saturday
morning through Saturday. Even with diminishing winds, strong
breezes will continue after gale force winds diminish. Southerly
swell continues with 18 to 20 ft wave heights. By late Saturday
night swell and waves will decrease to 10 to 15 ft lasting through
Sunday.
Inner Channels: Expecting that the front will largely stay
offshore, failing to push over the panhandle due to ridging in
Canada, winds up to strong breeze will continue in the central
and southern inner channels. The highest wind speeds will continue
in Clarence Strait, Fredrick Sound, Peril Strait, and Sumner
Strait. Lynn Canal is expected to largely stay variable up to 10
knots until Saturday night into Sunday, except for areas near
Point Couverden.
