Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 353 PM AKST Tue Feb 18 2025

SHORT TERM
Active pattern in the gulf will continue over the next few days, with a fast moving area of low pressure transiting the NE gulf bringing low end gale force winds to outer coastal waters Tuesday night into Wednesday. Temperatures at sea level remain near or above freezing, though shallow enough that many communities will see mixed precipitation before winds shift out of the south behind the front. Most likely areas to see noticeable accumulations of 1 - 2 inches will be higher elevations in the northern panhandle and the highways, as snow levels gradually rise through the day Wednesday. Some areas could see brief transitions back to mixed precipitation or very wet snow with heavier showers, once again primarily in the northern half of the panhandle with little or no accumulation expected as of this forecast issuance.

Cloud cover and the southerly surge from the approaching front will moderate temperatures overnight, aside from some snowmelt cooling from rain on snow. A brief break likely as the first front stalls over the panhandle Wednesday before the second stronger front brings more moderate to locally heavy precipitation to the southern panhandle and outer coast Wednesday night into Thursday, spreading northwards. Overall, a wet and cool Wednesday ahead for the entirety of the panhandle with some gusty winds for the outer coast. For more information on the second half of the week, see the long term discussion.

LONG TERM
For the start of the mid range, another gale force front will still be working through the area bringing more rain and winds to the panhandle. This won't be the last system to impact the area because behind it will be another gale force low that will move into the southern Gulf Friday afternoon into evening. The main concern for precipitation with this system will be rain for most of the panhandle with the exception of Haines and Skagway still. Right now, snow accumulations for these places still looks to be minor with the exception of the upper elevations along the highways. These locations could see anywhere from 2-6" of snow each day. As we head into the weekend the active weather will continue as the remnants of a gale force front impact the area during the day on Saturday keeping the rain and wind going for the area.

AVIATION
Currently many parts of the panhandle are experiencing VFR conditions before the next front reaches the panhandle. As the next front arrives this evening, ceilings and visibilities will lower to prevailing MVFR with times of IFR. Some southern areas will hold on to IFR conditions longer than others with visibilities 2 SM or less and ceilings below 1000ft. LLWS is expected for southern coastal areas as this front moves through.
Klawock will have the greatest amount of wind shear. Wind shear will weaken tonight after the initial front moves past.

MARINE
Inner channel winds will shift out of the south and increase up to 20 kt Tuesday night. Ahead of the approaching front, winds will continue to gust to 25 kt near Taiya and Taku Inlet.

For gulf waters, low end gale force winds will push through the gulf as a low pushes towards the northern gulf coast Tuesday night into Wednesday, with increasing SE swell and waveheights of 14 ft - 17 ft peaking Tuesday night into Wednesday. Stronger front to push into the gulf from the south late Wednesday night into Thursday bringing widespread stout gale force winds to central gulf and outer coastal waters.
