Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 302 PM AKST Mon Jan 19 2026
SHORT TERM
Somewhat benign weather continues for SE AK with continued fog chances through the morning hours with a gradual increase in northerly winds. Aloft, we have a ridge upstream with a trough moving north to south in British Columbia through tomorrow morning. The reflection at the surface is a somewhat stable high pressure in Yukon with gradually dropping pressure in the southern panhandle, increasing the northerly gradient.
Temperatures in the Yukon continue to drop through tonight, density differences will drive katabatic dry winds, mixing the fog out north to south. Expecting some recovery in the Yukon tomorrow morning, which will relax the pressure gradient somewhat, but still keep winds elevated in Skagway.
LONG TERM
Mid range pattern remains consistent; an amplified ridge will remain in place over southeast, with the axis stretching into southcentral AK. This feature will continue to block large systems from making landfall over southeast, with a cool arctic airmass dominating the Yukon and B.C territories driving outflow for the inner channels. Magnitude of outflow winds looks to remain below gale force for the most part with the exception of gale force gusts for localized areas like Taku Inlet and perhaps Taiya. By the weekend a prominent system in the far southwest gulf will push some moisture into southeast bringing light precipitation and increasing wave energy along the coast.
AVIATION
/Until 00Z Wednesday/...Dense FG remains in place for several areas from the Icy Strait Corridor, southward, keeping CIG & VIS conditions down into the LIFR flight category, into the overnight hours. The exception in that area will be the central Outer Coast, including PASI, which will stay VFR & PAJN, PAWG, & PAKW which will generally stay around MVFR on average into the night. The remainder of the Panhandle, like PAYA, PAGY, & PAHN will also remain VFR through the period. FG has a chance of building back in late this evening through tonight for areas except the extreme northern Panhandle & central Outer Coast & are noted in those TAFs with PROB30 groups. Breezy/gusty conditions from northerly outflow are in store for the northeastern Panhandle / northern Lynn Canal area, including the PAGY & PAHN TAF sites, through the 24-hour period. LLWS values remain rather benign through the period.
MARINE
Outside (Gulf and coastal waters): WSW swell of 6 to 8 ft at 12 to 14 seconds continues to impact the coast with winds of gentle to moderate breezes. Outflow winds build through the week, with fresh to strong breezes coming out of Cross Sound by Friday. Gale force low likely along the northern coast over the weekend.
Inside (Inner Channels): Outflow continues to build across the inner channels through the week with speeds of strong breezes to near-gale force. One benefit of outflow will help limit fog potential as we move through the week. Mariners should continue to watch for fog development in protected bays and inlets.
AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
PUBLIC...Dense Fog Advisory until 3 PM AKST this afternoon for AKZ320-324- 326>328-330-332.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory for PKZ012.
