SHORT TERM
/Through Wednesday night/ The showery remain of an old trough feature is spreading some light precipitation over the panhandle. The next low moving into the western half of the gulf will be rotating its front into the panhandle Wednesday. Have adjusted the timing a few hours slower for the winds and 'heavier' precipitation. Heavier is a relative term rainfall totals may get up to around an 1 or so for 24 hours.
Locally gusty winds 20 to 30 mph Wednesday as the front approaches and makes land fall into the panhandle.
LONG TERM
/Thursday through Tuesday/...
Models have fallen in line with the eventual track of the Wednesday Gulf low. At this time the low is expected to remain on a track towards the NE gulf, continuing Eastern Gulf winds and Panhandle shower activity Thursday into Friday. After the initial front crosses over, there will be a brief break in precip before the parent low moves in with another round of precip and 20 to 25 kt winds over the gulf. More moderate rainfall as the low brings in a long fetch of moisture from the south. showers will diminish into the evening Friday as the low center moves inland and weakens. For the weekend thew GFS is putting a closed low in the SE Gulf while other operational models keep an open wave trough.
Ensembles trend towards the open wave trough solution. From there operational models diverge. Another surface low and associated front is expected in the western gulf and impacting SE AK late Monday into Tuesday. If the low center remains further west it will be keep precip for the region but would not anticipate much in the way of elevated winds.
AVIATION
/Through 06Z Thursday/ Predominate MVFR to low-end VFR flight conditions this evening across the SEAK panhandle with isolated rain showers continuing, CIGS AoB 3500ft, and reduced visibilities as low as 4SM. Main aviation concern through Tuesday night will be continued lowering of CIGS with IFR CIGS development possible for southern Panhandle TAF sites.
Looking to Wednesday, not anticipating much flight condition improvement as an approaching front pushes into the panhandle through the day. Anticipate predominate MVFR flight conditions to continue tomorrow with CIGS AoB 3000ft and intermittent visibilities down to 2 to 4SM within heavier showers as front pushes inland. Expect SE-ly LLWS near 30kts around 2000ft and turbulence associated with the approaching front over the outer coast by Wednesday morning, increasing over the inner channels through the afternoon.
Freezing level remain lower than normal for this time of the year, from 2000 to 4000 ft, so potential for icing near ridgetop levels through Wednesday morning, as highlighted by the Alaska Aviation Weather Unit.
MARINE
The incoming weather front will spread a band of small craft east to southeast winds to the outer coast, and as the front approaches the east west favored channels will see a bump in wind speeds with the increase pressure gradient. Wave height with and and behind the front increase to 8 to 10 feet for the coastal zone.
