Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 506 AM AKDT Tue Apr 16 2024

SHORT TERM
/ through Tuesday night / Another quiet day for Southeast Alaska. High pressure over the gulf and Northwest Canada has pushed out nearly all the clouds. An area of marine stratus is over western half of the Gulf of Alaska and kind of spreading into the north central portion. With sunny skies during the day and highs reaching to tho upper 40s and 50s, sea breezes could develop in the afternoon. Very few changes to the forecast were made for this mornings package.

LONG TERM
/Wednesday through Monday/...AK Gulf 500 mb high pressure ridge will have shifted to the east as a low drops down over the far western AK Gulf. This pattern will remain until the weekend when the blocking ridge may break down allowing the mid level trough to track over the area. At the surface dry weather with clear skies continue until at least Saturday before the front associated with a surface low over the Western Gulf may track in.
Ensemble blends and operational models don't have a solid signal on the timing but keep the general pattern shift. Warm day times highs, 5 to as much as 10 degrees above normal for the middle of April, and cool nights with diurnal temperature ranges of 20 degrees or more last until the end of the week due to the clear skies. While the front will be mainly offshore later in the week with near small craft winds and building seas over the eastern gulf the pressure gradient will orient with increase inner channel winds to 15 to 20 kt.

AVIATION
VFR conditions will continue with a slight chance of some patchy fog development over the southern part of the panhandle. Under the influence of a building ridge in the gulf, any fog should be more short lived than the previous night and less prevalent due to a trend towards drier conditions. No wind concerns during the TAF period.
