Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 329 PM AKDT Fri May 17 2024

SHORT TERM
/through Saturday night/...Overall 500mb pattern has a weak low tracking out of the area with a ridge building back up for Saturday. This ridge is all ahead of the next system that will arrive on Sunday.

As the weak low tracks SE, lingering isolated to scattered showers will last into Friday night. But as the low moves farther away from SE AK, we'll lose the upward forcing so showers will fade out. This will end up giving the panhandle a dry day Saturday with partly sunny skies.

Because of the surface ridge, general south winds are expected.
Through the short term, winds are expected to be on the lighter side but late Saturday night, winds could start to pick up ahead of the next front.

LONG TERM
/ Sunday through Wednesday night / Frontal band sweeps through Eastern Gulf of Alaska and the Panhandle. Gale force winds ahead of the front into the Northeast Gulf Coast, and then Small Craft Advisory to the inside waters. Trailing showers and the remains of the low in the Northeast gulf will get moved into the panhandle Monday. Rain / showers will be tapering off Monday headed into Tuesday.

High pressure builds into the gulf Tuesday then moving towards the panhandle Wednesday as yet another front spreads into the western gulf Wednesday.

AVIATION
Cloud cover will continue for the panhandle as we see some clearing in the skies before clouds could redevelop this evening. These clouds that are expected to be across the area will be VFR to MVFR cloud cover. As we head into the day tomorrow, cloud cover is expected to decrease even more as high pressure moves into the panhandle. This should allow for some increased sea breezes during the day tomorrow. Clouds are expected to start to move in but will be towards the end of the TAF period.

AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
PUBLIC...None.
MARINE...Gale Warning for PKZ652-672.
