Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 425 AM AKDT Wed May 1 2024

SHORT TERM
/Through Wednesday night/ Rather quiet short range forecast today. Winds are for the most part light and are expected to stay that way across the panhandle. The only exceptions are the usual sea breeze areas in the afternoon where winds could reach 15 mph. Slightly different story out in the central gulf where an area of low pressure moving up from the S will bring increasing SE winds to 25 kt to the offshore area tonight.

Otherwise the only other concern is cloud cover which is mainly affecting the gulf, the southern panhandle and the NE gulf coast this morning. Expect clouds to gradually diminish through the day with skies generally staying clear tonight as low level flow turns more offshore across the area. Expect slightly warmer highs today then yesterday as a result (mid 50s) while low temperatures tonight will likely fall into the low 30s (north) to low 40s (south) due to the clearer skies.

LONG TERM
/ Thursday to Sunday night / Weak high pressure over the eastern gulf and panhandle are holding in place through Friday. A short wave will move from the southwestern gulf across the southern gulf and southeast towards the Pacific Northwest by Friday morning. A larger low moves into the Bering Sea Friday and Saturday while drifting east. The associated frontal will move into the panhandle area Saturday, with main panhandle more later half of Saturday.

Am not expecting any winds over 20 kt until the weekend time frame and those will be starting over the outer gulf waters.

AVIATION
MVFR or VFR conditions continue this morning with a marine layer covering the southern portions of the panhandle as well as the NE gulf coast. This layer will persist through the morning before breaking up during the day with more daytime heating. As high pressure moves inland during the latter half of the TAF period, this marine layer is expected to dissipate even more as more offshore flow develops allowing for clearing skies.
Otherwise, flying should remain really good overall for the TAF period.
