Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
1105 AM AKST Sat Feb 7 2026

.UPDATE...Update to include the 18Z TAF issuance...
Only minor edits to the forecast this morning. Radar and satellite
imagery are indicating multiple bands of rain, moderate at times,
passing north through SEAK. The front pushing into southern
panhandle this afternoon could bring gusts to around 30 mph. This
front will lift into central and northern panhandle this evening
and could bring similar gusty winds. Gusts up to around 40 mph are
possible later this evening into overnight for Lynn Canal, Haines
and Skagway.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
This morning continued areas of rain, moderate at times,
continues across SE AK. This is due to a low pressure system that
will continue to send waves of energy over the area keeping an
active pattern. The main story of today will occur Saturday
afternoon into Saturday night, when a stronger front pushes
northward across the area. This front will quickly increase winds
with gusts to 35 mph and isolated gusts of 40 mph possible, as the
main front moves across an area. Winds will first start to
increase over the southern panhandle this afternoon, reaching the
central panhandle Saturday evening, and the far northern panhandle
late Saturday into early Sunday.

This front does allow for a more unstable environment. This will
create a more showery environment with a slight chance of isolated
convective storms forming across the central to southern gulf coast.
Any areas of convection can quickly cause sporadic and increased
winds. There is also the chance of lightning occurring with any storm
that develops.

.LONG TERM...The active weather pattern continues for the
panhandle with another low expected to be in the Gulf for the
start of the long term. This low is expected to move closer the
area and bring more active weather by Monday morning with the
return of more rain and winds. Deterministic guidance wants to
bring this system near the southern panhandle and Haida Gwaii. But
this will need to be monitored for any potential track changes as
it could change where the strongest winds end up.

Going into the middle of the week, ensemble guidance continues to
struggle with locking in on a specific solution. Current guidance is
split between us staying warm, wet, and active; the second solution
is that we dry out and cool down to more normal temperatures for
this time of the year. GEFS, EPS, and GEPS guidance continue to show
lower confidence in any particular solution at this time of writing
but there is some slight agreement between the GEFS and GEPS that
will need to be watched for any potential changes in later runs. For
the extended range, there continues to be no significant signal for
temperatures so near normal temps are expected. As for
precipitation, there is a chance for above normal precip going into
the middle of the month.

.AVIATION.../through Sunday afternoon/...
Generally MVFR flight conditions through the period as multiple
fronts/troughs lift north across SEAK bringing periods of rain.
Periods of IFR CIGs are possible with steadier/heavier bands of
rain. Additionally, periods of VFR CIGs could occur in-between
bands of rain. Fog or low stratus could build back into the Icy
Strait Corridor, including PAGS, and especially near PAJN, during
breaks in rain through the afternoon before the next front
approaches.

Ground level winds are generally 8-15 with occasional gusts
20-25kt, but there is some higher winds 25-35kt 2kft aloft that is
leading to some speed and slight directional LLWS that will
likely continue before diminishing Sunday morning. Pilots in the
northern inner channels will have to watch out for a strong
southerly push of winds through Lynn Canal into Skagway tonight
(around 9pm to 6am) with ground level gusts reaching 30 to 40 kt
possible.

.MARINE...
Inside (Inner Channels): Winds have slightly diminished into
early Saturday morning with the strongest winds of 20 to 25 kts
remaining over Clarence Strait and near Point Couverden. Winds
will quickly increase again as the next front moves northward into
the area Saturday afternoon through Saturday night. As the front
moves northward, strong southerly strong breezes to near gale
force winds, 23 to 33 kts, will follow with gale force gusts
likely at times. These stronger winds will first reach the
southern inner channels Saturday afternoon, the central channels
Saturday evening, and the far northern channels later Saturday
night. The strongest winds area anticipated to be from Northern
Chatham Strait and Stephens Passage northward with Lynn Canal
having the highest chance of gale force wind gusts. Winds will
quickly diminish Sunday, but showers will continue across SE AK
which can allow for possible times of sporadic gusty conditions.

Outside (Gulf and Coastal Waters): Currently winds remain around 10
to 15 kts, except for areas over the far northern gulf where winds
of 20 to 25 kts have continued into early this morning. These winds
over the central to northern gulf will slightly diminish Saturday
morning. Winds will then once again increase Saturday afternoon into
Saturday night as a front moves northward across the area. As the
front moves north, winds will increase quickly with the strongest
winds occurring along the central to southern gulf coast, west of
Baranof and Prince of Wales Islands. These areas will experience
southerly strong breezes to near gale force winds, 23 to 33 kts.
This front will also create a more unstable environment, creating a
slight chance for convective activity to develop. As showers move
over the area, stronger, more organized, cells can create sporadic
gusty conditions with a few lightning strikes possible. These
stronger showers will mainly remain over the central to southern
gulf coast. After this front, an active wet pattern will continue
into Sunday with continuing showers.
