SHORT TERM
/Through Tonight/...There is some patchy radiation fog over the Panhandle this morning, especially over the northern half, due to decreasing clouds, light and variable winds, and plenty of surface moisture in place. That fog will thin out within just a few hours of sunrise. Conditions will generally continue to improve through the period as a ridge of high pressure continues to build in from the west and make its transit over the entire eastern Gulf and southeast Alaska region. Generally partly cloudy skies and dry conditions are expected through the period.
Winds and seas over the Panhandle, Inner Channels, and the eastern Gulf will remain rather benign through the period. Fog is possible once again over the Panhandle tonight as the majority of the region will have decreased cloudiness, light winds, and enough ground moisture in place from the recent rains. Another frontal system will approach the Panhandle Wednesday morning.
LONG TERM
/ Wednesday through Saturday night / Active pattern set to continue for SE Alaska for the remainder of the week. The next system will move into the northern Gulf on Wednesday, with a weakening front making its way towards the panhandle Wednesday afternoon and slowly push inland through Thursday. While not an impressive system, tightening of the pressure gradient near shore will still lead to winds of 25 to 30 kt for the Northern and NE gulf coast for a time Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night.
Consequently not expecting to see any significant wave height increases.
Total precipitation from this system has been trending upwards slightly, but overall is still expected to be light to moderate by SE AK standards, with most rain coming Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Storm total QPF for the panhandle ranges from around 0.75 inches for the northern Gulf coast to around 0.5 inches from the Icy Strait Corridor southward. Once the rain moves through and accompanying low diminishes into a weak open trough, skies are set to clear later in the day Thursday and into Friday. This will allow for potential fog development in areas which can see maximized radiational cooling in the overnight hours along with light winds.
Clearing skies on Friday means warmer temperatures once more, with daytime highs rebounding back to upper 50s and near 60 for the majority of the panhandle heading into Saturday. Unfortunately unsettled weather looks to move in once more for the second half of the holiday weekend with increasing rain chances Saturday afternoon into Sunday.
AVIATION
Some MVFR CIGS around the region this morning and patches of fog becoming widespread VFR SKC by Tuesday late morning. Overcast VFR skies develop Tuesday night as our next system slides across the Gulf.
AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
PUBLIC...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory for PKZ652-672.
