Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
915 AM AKST Thu Jan 15 2026

.FORECAST AND 18Z AVIATION UPDATE.

The forecast remains largely on track this morning with rain
continuing near Yakutat, and fog developing across the southern
panhandle. This fog can create hazardous marine and aviation
conditions as places can see fog drop to around 1/4 SM especially
near Prince of Wales Island and Ketchikan.

.AVIATION...Rain continues over the northeast gulf continuing to
bring times of lowered ceilings and visibilities to Yakutat. With
that being said, flying conditions mainly remain around MVFR to
VFR with ceilings around 2500 ft. These ceilings around Yakutat
will slowly diminish throughout the day as a plume of moisture
continues to push into the northeast gulf. This will bring times
of moderate to heavy precipitation toward Yakutat this evening
into tomorrow. We could also see some of this precipitation reach
areas of the northern panhandle, but any precipitation that
occurs there would be light. This system will also bring some LLWS
into Yakutat around 35 kts at 2000 ft. This LLWS will begin this
evening again lasting into tomorrow morning.

Other parts of the panhandle will remain mainly VFR throughout the
day, with skies becoming clear in some southern areas. The one
thing that will affect this is fog development. We have seen areas
of fog develop this morning around Petersburg and southward. This
fog has created consistent visibilities below 4 SM as low as 1/4
SM at times, especially over prince of Wales Island. This fog is
likely to dissipate late this morning, but could persist into the
afternoon. Fog development is then again very likely to again
occur Friday morning.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Key Messages:

-Rain from Cape Fairweather westward through late week.

-Gale to storm force winds for the Central and Northern gulf
 Thursday night into early Friday.

-Above normal temperatures panhandle wide into the weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../Through Thursday night/ Quiet weather for the
panhandle this morning as most winds are less then 15 kt and skies
broken to overcast due to a mix of high and mid level clouds
streaming in from the W and SW. The exception to the winds are
the Lynn Canal and Skagway area where south winds to 20 to 25 kt
are blowing this morning which should diminish through the day.

Short range forecast is remaining rather quiet for most of the
area due to high pressure over the panhandle and overall flow
turning more offshore through the next 24 hours. There still some
left over showers in the northern panhandle but they are few and
far between and are not amounting to much for precip amounts.
Temperatures remaining rather warm for this time of year with
highs near 40 expected for most areas. Winds in the inner
channels expected to remain 15 kt or less through the period.
Where it is not quiet will be out in the central and northern gulf
where a frontal system there will increase winds to gale force
with a brief period of storm force near Cape Suckling looking
likely Thursday night.

.LONG TERM...Quieter weather looks to return for the long term
forecast with high pressure moving into the region. Most of the
panhandle will see winds diminish with the exception of the Gulf
waters where southerly winds will continue. Conditions for the
Inner Channels are expected to improve with the decreasing winds
and temperatures are expected to remain in the high 30s to low 40s
depending on your location in the panhandle. The exception to
this quieter weather is expected to be for the NE Gulf coast as an
atmospheric river that will be impacting from Prince William
Sound over to Icy Bay will bring heavy rain. This rain is expected
to remain confined to places west of Yakutat with 24 hour rain
amounts getting up to 2-2.5 inches during the heaviest amounts.
For the rest of the panhandle, the biggest concern is for the
development of fog across the area as high pressure settles into
the region creating an inversion and trapping moisture from the
previous rain events as well as the melting snow across SE AK.
With high pressure taking control, the main thing that will need
to be watched in the extended will be when does this high pressure
either break down or shift so the flow direction changes allowing
for a change in the pattern.

&&

.MARINE...
Gulf Waters: Approaching frontal system from the west expected to
drive up E to SE winds into Thursday night across the central and
northern gulf. Expect gale force winds by late this afternoon
that will last into Thursday night before starting to diminish.
The area around Cape Suckling is expected to have the strongest
and longest lasting higher winds with min storm force winds
possible late Thursday night there with gale force winds lasting
into early Friday afternoon. The farther east you are the lower
the winds will be with the area near Prince of Wales Island only
expected to see 15 to 20 kt of wind at most through Friday. Seas
are rather high at around 12 to 14 ft this morning driven by a 12
to 13 ft S swell with a period of 13 sec. Seas expected to stay
high, and will even increase across the central and northern gulf
to around 20 ft by early Friday due to the higher winds and the
continued S Swell.

Inside waters: Winds generally low and southerly through the inner
channels this morning. The exception is Northern Lynn Canal where
S winds to 25 kt are blowing. Those winds are expected to diminish
through the morning as the southerly pressure gradient decreases.
Generally low wind conditions expected into Friday as winds
generally turn more N and E into Friday. Seas are also expected to
be rather low with 3 to 4 ft seas at most from wind wave. The
exceptions are the ocean entrances with a southern exposure,
especially Yakutat Bay, where the high southerly swell in the gulf
will increase seas to 7 to 12 ft with the higher seas mainly in
Yakutat Bay.
