SHORT TERM
Largest change to the ongoing forecast is a stronger push of moisture northward from the severe gale force front. What this will translate into is the possibility of extremely wet snow for Juneau, Gustavus, and Hoonah on Sunday. Whether it will accumulate will be dictated by the amount of dry air working its way down to the surface, pushing wetbulb down below freezing.
Going forward, it will be an area to watch in the next 12 hours for how surface temperatures will react to any potential drying and reduction of cloud cover tonight. Ultimately went more pessemistic in snow forecasting for the Icy Strait area including Juneau, but not expecting widespread accumulating snow.
LONG TERM
/Monday through next week/... Quick Notes: -Dry weather returns for Monday.
-Weak system possible Tuesday or Wednesday.
-Strong System Potentially for late in the week into the weekend
The long range forecast starts off with drier weather spreading across the panhandle as a front departs the area, moving off to the S as its parent low heads into BC.
While some chances of rain may linger for the southern panhandle, expect the northern panhandle to largely dry out. A weak system associated with a mid-level trough may move in from the NW on Wednesday potentially bringing snow to parts of the area, though at this point do not expect any significant accumulations. Not too far behind it, a stronger system racing E across the Gulf could sideswipe the southern half of the panhandle Wednesday into Thursday.
Confidence is growing in the potential for a strong frontal band to move into the panhandle from the W late Friday or Saturday, in conjunction with a deepening trough.
Winds will broadly remain out of the N as the synoptic level pattern favors weak N outflow. Think that this will bring cooler temperatures, esp. on Monday, but not expecting anything too spectacular given the lack of a strong high pressure over the Yukon and a low in the S Gulf to drive a truly substantial pressure gradient.
The main changes to the forecast were to add detail to anticipated cooler temperatures from N outflow winds.
AVIATION
Gale force front moving to the outer coast and through the southern Panhandle tonight will result in some low level wind shear for Sitka, Klawock and Ketchikan overnight. Low level wind shear should become more prevalent for the central and northern Panhandle airports during the day on Sunday as the front works its way northward. As far as visibilities and ceilings go, with diminishing rain coverages going into tonight we expect generally VFR going, but as we get into Sunday periods of MVFR can be expected with passing showers.
MARINE
A high end gale force front on satellite is currently marching its way northward. Satellite observations show that gales along the leading edge of the front is slowly shifting eastward, as expected. Pressure gradients for southerly flow across the panhandle are expected to relax with wind speeds slowing. As the front pushes further north, northerly winds will slowly begin to strengthen in the northern panhandle.
Main changes to the message is an extended period of easterly winds in the central and southern panhandle, maximizing around strong breezes to near gales. The front is expected to stall around Icy Strait late Sunday night, with easterly winds being replaced by northerly outflow shortly after.
