SHORT TERM
Key Points: - Light to moderate rain showers continue for the panhandle tonight before a break Friday night into Saturday.
- Winds start to diminish tonight through Friday morning with times of stronger wind gusts.
- Winds diminish for the gulf and increase for N to S inside waters as a low in the NE gulf moves over land.
Details: After the initial front moves over the panhandle light to moderate rain showers continue before diminishing Friday evening.
Behind the cold front, snow levels have dropped just enough to see snow near White Pass this evening and tonight as showers continue.
This snow will be limited to higher elevated areas along the Klondike Highway.
Winds in the central panhandle will begin to lighten tonight after the front moves past and the low moves over land. Various wind directions will be observed across the panhandle as multiple systems leave and then a new system moves into the area. For marine areas, as the low in the NE gulf dissipates and moves over land, winds in the gulf will diminish. There will be an increase in winds in north to south facing channels tonight into tomorrow morning before diminishing. This is due to the low tightening the pressure gradient. Winds in Lynn Canal to Southern Chatham will increase to moderate to fresh breezes tonight. These inner water winds will then diminish Friday afternoon.
LONG TERM
/Saturday through Thursday night/...This long range forecast features continued wet weather beginning Sunday. Saturday and Saturday night may provide for some dry weather, but not for all locations at any one time. Overnight lows beginning Sunday night remaining well enough above freezing that precip type will most likely be rain vice snow even at White Pass. While the week ahead is forecast to remain wet, no excessive rainfall totals are expected in any timeframe that will result in hydrology concerns.
AVIATION
A front overstretches the panhandle from south to north, slowly pushing into the coastal panhandle through this afternoon with rain and showers overspreading the area. Predominate MVFR flight conditions will continue as front pushes inland, with CIGS AoB 3500ft and intermittent vsbys down to 4SM within the heaviest showers. For the rest of this evening and into Friday morning, expecting MVFR to low-end VFR conditions to continue as the parent low associated with the aforementioned front dissipates as it pushes into the NE Gulf Coast.
Winds will remain elevated through this evening, around 10 to 15kts with gusts up to 25kts possible, decreasing to around 10kts or less through Thursday night, outside the usual suspects of Haines and Skagway which will see continued elevated winds through tonight. Winds increase again into Friday afternoon for the northern panhandle, near 10 to 15kts with gusts around 25kts.
Not expecting widespread visibility issues, however, will need to watch for periods of IFR flight category visibilities/CIGs for southern and interior TAF sites into tonight due winds decreasing, saturated low levels, and low cross over temperatures. Any fog that does develop will quickly dissipate through Friday 18z.
MARINE
The low in the central gulf will continue to weaken as it moves NE, set to lift inland along the NE gulf coast Friday morning.
Winds for the inner channels will see an increase tonight as the north to south pressure gradient increases. Lynn Canal to southern Chatham will see moderate to fresh breezes increasing tonight before diminishing tomorrow morning into afternoon. Winds along the inner waters will then remain around 10 kts through the weekend.
A trough that moves over the gulf of Alaska Friday night through Saturday will increase winds for the gulf coast. The strongest winds will be along the coast and the northern gulf. Then a stronger low will them make its way into the southern gulf Sunday increasing winds once again to fresh to strong breezes.
Most significant changes to the long range forecast have to do with winds over the Gulf and Clarence Strait through early Monday morning. A front already depicted in the forecast for Saturday is now expected to be slightly stronger in terms of wind, resulting in a marginal increase in winds from 20 to 25 kts.
The on Sunday, a low is now expected to enter the Gulf from the south and approach the central outer coast by Monday afternoon.
This altered the wind field somewhat in terms of wind speed and direction, with maximum winds along the central outer coast of 30 kts on Sunday night, spreading east into Clarence Strait in the pre-dawn hours of Monday morning.
