Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Juneau AK
946 PM AKST Wed Jan 14 2026

.AVIATION AND EVENING UPDATE...
Minor changes to near term forecast this evening as a surface
high moves out of the N Pacific towards the S Panhandle. Pressure
gradient has fallen off a tad faster than anticipated, so nudged
down winds within some of the N/S inner channels like Stephen's
Passage, Clarence Strait and over land like Juneau, Gustavus, and
Ketchikan. Obs across the panhandle show relatively light winds
10kts or less, with strongest winds across the panhandle around 15
to 25kts near Skagway, Eldred Rock, Naked Island, Cape Spencer,
Five Finger, and Cape Decision. Through the rest of tonight,
trends will remain near the same, light winds with light
precipitation will gradually come to an end overnight. By Thursday
morning, potential for patchy dense fog across the far N Gulf and
S Panhandle with clearing skies ongoing Ketchikan and Metlakatla,
visibilities down to 1/2SM possible with ridging moving in aloft.
Highest rain chances over the next 24 hours will be over Yakutat
with a front pushing inland by 10am Thursday morning. Otherwise,
majority of the panhandle will remain dry through Thursday
afternoon. In similar news, Jordan Creek near Juneau continues to
slowly fall this evening, now down to 9.6 feet and out of minor
flood, the Flood Advisory has been cancelled.

&&

.AVIATION.../through 06z Friday/
General MVFR to VFR flight conditions ongoing across the
panhandle this evening with CIGS AOB 7000 feet and visbys 4 to
6SM. Anticipating VFR flight conditions to prevail, trending
towards MVFR with CIGS 1500ft to 2500ft by 15z as high pressure
moves in aloft. 30 to 50% probability of IFR to LIFR flight
conditions for S Panhandle TAF sites with ongoing clearing skies
and likely fog development inhibiting visbys and CIGS between 10
to 18z as light rain comes to an end. By Thursday afternoon,
predominate VFR conditions across the panhandle with CIGS AoA
3500ft as high pressure sets up over British Columbia. Worst
flight conditions expected for Thursday will be across Yakutat as
a strong low pushing into the AKPen sends a front towards the N
Gulf of Alaska by 00 to 04z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION......ISSUED AT 336 PM AKST Wed Jan 14 2026...

SHORT TERM...
As of 2pm Wednesday morning our energetic storm force low has
jumped into the Yukon, with storm force winds subsiding across the
inside. Some light rain is out and about from moist southwest
onshore flow, keeping some shower activity on through the day. A
juicy chunk of convection driving thunderstorms is currently
reaching the coast, bringing graupel/sleet along with some
lightning and gusty winds. Overnight Wednesday a prominent ridge
builds across the area bringing much quieter weather for
southeast. Expect precip to trend down and winds to slacken;
exception will be the northern coast. Friday a plume of moisture
will move toward the northern coast bringing rain to sea level
locations from Cape St. Elias toward Sitka and north.

LONG TERM...
Relatively quiet way to end the week and continuing far into next
week. Ridging aloft and strong WWA Friday looks to mostly dry out
the mid and upper layer of the atmosphere, which also directs the
late week atmospheric river toward the Anchorage area. Residual
moisture, light winds from a lax pressure gradient and little
sunlight, and some clearing, particularly in the southern half,
will pave the way for widespread fog concerns, particularly
overnight Friday and overnight Saturday. Going into next week,
comparatively weak surface ridging in Canada look to bring in
enough cold air to the panhandle to bring us back from our above
normal temperatures down to near normal.

MARINE...
Outside (Gulf and Coastal waters):
As of 2pm Wednesday winds across the eastern gulf and northern
coast are southwest, reaching fresh to strong breezes. Sea state
overnight was intense, with 84 reaching 34ft at 15 seconds from an
extensive dynamic fetch of storm force winds. One note, 84 was on
the eastern flank of this fetch, with near 40ft seas likely
impacting coastal areas near the Fairweather grounds. This
afternoon sea state is relaxing, with a prominent southerly focus
of wave energy at 11 to 13 seconds 13 to 17 ft. A secondary wave
system is present, wind waves generated from SW post frontal fresh
to strong breezes, driving west southwest seas focused at 6 to 8
seconds near 8 to 10 ft. Anticipating winds to continue to trend
downward through the next 12 hours for the gulf, with southerly
seas bottoming out near 10 to 13 ft. Thursday a gale force system
will lift toward the AK Peninsula, freshening up easterly winds
along the northern coast to gale force, with Cape Suckling seeing
localized storm force conditions by Thursday night. Fresh seas of
20 ft are forecasted for the northern coast by Thursday night.

Inside (Inner Channels):
Storm force winds that impacted many inner channels early
Wednesday morning continue to subside this afternoon, with winds
as of 2pm Wednesday near moderate to fresh breezes across much of
the region. Onshore flow continues to push showers over the
Panhandle, with a slight chance of thunderstorms into Wednesday
evening. Main threat will be gusty winds in the vicinity of these
showers. Overnight winds slacken bringing some fog concerns for
protected areas. Light winds continue Thursday with much of the
channels seeing winds less than 20 knots. Lynn Canal will be the
exception, anticipate strong breezes out of the south to continue
Wednesday night into early Thursday, diminishing into the evening.
